Wonderful Fall

 We decided to go for a beautiful walk and capture some Fall moments before the season slips away as fast as it arrived.

 Like most years we are in denial that it is actually Fall. We try to squeeze every last bit of summer in. 

Eventually, when all the leaves have fallen we accept that the season has changed. That's when the fun begins.

 We found some mushrooms in a perfect Fall color.

 I hope you are having a beautiful season.

DIY Bookcover

credit: Pugley Pixel template

Here is a great way to re purpose a paper bag. We made a book cover old school style for my daughters school book, then added duct tape to modernize it. Here's how:

1. Supplies: paper bag, scissors, book, duct tape, and ruler.

2. Cut down one side of bag then cut bottom out.

•  Lay bag flat with logo facing inside ( if you do not want logo to show).
•  Put book in the middle of bag. Fold the top down and make a crease at top of book.
•  Repeat for bottom.
• Take book off and fold top and bottom flaps at crease.
• Put book back in center of paper, it should fit nicely lengthwise.
• Fold left side of paper over book to cover the front of book. 
• Fold again at the edge of the book.
• Slide the hard cover page of the book inside the folded cover.
• Repeat on back side.

3. Tape edges of paper bag closed so the bag doesn't open up.
4. Use duct tape to decorate the outside, get creative!
Have Fun!
