How to use this Page

Sometimes Spoo (aka The Muffin Man) insists on sitting in my lap in the morning, even when I have a ton of work to do. I can’t help but humor him sometimes.

When I read on Georgia’s blog that she was having an Autumn swap, I immediately went for it.  It’s been quite some time since I participated in a swap so I thought it would be lots of fun!  I wish I had taken photos of the package I had created for my recipient, Heather, (included recipe cards, a recipe, bat confetti I got in France, cookies, and a candle that “smelled” like October) but alas I dropped it off in the mail before I remembered to do so.

Georgia’s friend Chelsea got me in the swap and I was ever so thrilled to receive her package yesterday!  I haven’t had the best week (although certainly not the worst – not to worry!) and it was wonderful to get her generous gift in the mail.* The box contained so many fun and tasty things, including the wee stripe-y pumpkin you see above.  The caramel supply has dwindled, the recipes are saved for when cooler weather returns, the baking cups (below) and decor will be used probably this weekend.

Chelsea even gave me a little booklet of her beautiful autumnal photography!  Instead of trying to take a photo of it, you should check out her blog: Hearts & Scars.  Thank you again, Chelsea, you brightened  up my day!

And…Happy Halloween, everyone!

*I also found out yesterday that one of my dearest friends – and her newborn baby boy! – made it through the delivery,  both happy and healthy.
