OCTOBER CHALLENGE

Welcome, I completed my October challenge at  Birds Nest Books and Junk Journals a private group on Facebook. If interested you can join, The Admin and Hostess LeAnn makes it fun and there is a lot of inspiration from this group. Keeps me enjoying using my stash. The challenge  was to make the use of  the letters  O C T O B E R.

I started this way back Oct 3rd and just couldn't come up with the right process.  Lost my MoJo, on call for DH doing crops, special company from Wisconsin visiting and a few precious people dying.  So I

made  this tag:

"O "range flower, "C" chair, "T"twine/tag, "O" val necklace, "B"rown, "E"yes, #8, "R"ounded edges

But I wasn't happy with this and I wanted to make the Pumpkin shaped journal.....Ideas came, so here it is

First process was to cut the pumpkin from cardboard and paint orange and green for the stem

The Cover set up to show OCTOBER   and  "O" for orange

"C" for Cat/Crows and room for notes

"T" for Two Tags 

"O" for Owl room for notes    "B" for  Beautiful Butterfly. The Brown Button up in the right hand corner is covering a mistake.  I punched the wrong side for the circle binder

"E" for Envelope and a stamp that has the Earth on it... The last letter "R" red leaf I gathered and the Robin. 

THE END.     Thanks LeAnn, it was a fun process, once things started to click.  And "Thanks" for visiting and those precious comments.  Stay Safe and enjoy this last week of OCTOBER 

WOYWW #592

Welcome, well I guess, I'm better late than never.  Totally forgot it was already Wednesday. 

I just finished up putting 2 cars back together. On Monday I took EVERYTHING out of these vehicles  and wiped them down inside and vacuumed them.  I had 3 large boxes to sort. It is totally unbelievable what has made the car their home.  Then Tuesday my DH took mine to have it's oil changed  at 7 AM and I never got it back until 9 PM that night.  After a few phone calls  it made no difference I wasn't going anywhere but would have liked to have finished the job.   SO very early today I had sorted things out, disposed of most and replaced minimal items back inside.  We are now equipped for WINTER driving and trips here there and hopefully everywhere. 

And HOORAY !!   he is on the last field of corn crops.  Has been exceptionally dry and beautiful harvest weather.  He will clean up equipment, store away for winter and then start with ripping/disking stocks and preparing harvested fields for winter. Will be lots of black ground.  

Last Geranium Bloom was the biggest.   And the kohlrabi below is all that is left in the garden It will be picked and stored before a hard freeze.  Special kind (lasts forever !!!)

Have not spent any time at a crafty desk.  This was 2 piece set  25cent curtain toppers I picked up at a thrift shop.   I cut off the lace from the bottom 

And will use it in  my crafting, and will use the fabric for making a slow stitch project later.

We have visitors from Wisconsin coming for a couple of days, so I must do a once over of the house and prepare a pumpkin desert, maybe make some soups or a crockpot meal  

Want to be involved with WOYWW visits or sharing What's On Your Workspace Wednesday....you can do so by going  HERE    Have a beautiful week, Thanks for stopping by
