A Ladybug & Two Bees Walk Onto a Sunflower...

This labor day weekend Leon got to spend some time with his grandparents at a local farm in Lancaster, PA called Cherry Hill Orchards. It's a great family friendly spot that offers peach picking in the summer and apple picking in the fall...

Look at those feet! I think they're pretty adorable ;)

It was a lovely September day and we picked apples as well as enjoyed photographing sunflowers and picking zinnias. 

Just wanted to share some snaps from our trip and pass on some of that crisp, country air to you.

Notice the little bee flying where the silo is...

So many lovely zinnia colors to choose from.

The final bouquet as arranged by my mother (with Muffy the bear looking on).

Wishing you all a fruitful and happy start to the fall!

Apple Face Wreath Craft

I made these sweet wreaths years ago while compiling ideas for my Character Crafting book. It's a favorite craft of mine this time of year - and so EASY to make!

Materials:

Colored Card Stock, Glue, Markers, Scissors, Sticker Dots, Paper Plates, String

1. Cut out apple and leaf shapes out of colored card stock.

2. Decorate each apple with a different face. *Ideas* Silly, Happy, Sad, Eyeglasses, Teeth, Surprised, Cute, Funny

3. Cut the inside of a paper plate out using scissors until you only have a ring or 'wreath' left. Glue the apple faces and leaves to to this wreath. Let the glue dry completely.

4. Add a loop of string to the top of the wreath for hanging.

*Stickers make excellent eye glasses and cheeks!*

If you try this out, please do share it below or let me know!
