We haven't had Snow here in North Texas yet but "just up the road" (in Texas terms that means anything up to 400 miles) in Amarillo they had over 2" on Thursday, we just got nasty, drizzly rain, reminded me of home, and not in a good way. This morning is super chilly, only upper 30's so Winter feels like it's here, but as any good Texan will tell you "you don't like the weather?, just wait 15 minutes and it will change :)"
With that the weekend forecast is better, warming to the low 70's, just right for Halloween! LOL
Have a wonderful weekend and please come along and play with us at A Gem of a Challenge

This was the super sketch for this week.
I decided to go with both the theme and the sketch this week and I'm really pleased with the results. The gold in the patterned paper really works with orange of the Pumpkins and then the metallic sentiment just ties it all in.
I hope you like it too and will come over and play with us in The Pixie Cottage this week!

They were already glittered and it went well with the glittered pumpkins.
