SEPTEMBER 2007

My favorite time of the year has arrived. I love all 4 seasons, and in Wisconsin we get to see the changes of them all, but Fall is the season that I look forward to the most. There is something about the change in temperature and that you can actually smell Fall in the air. Maybe I’m like a bear and I'm looking forward to doing a little hibernating during the winter because I feel as if I need to indulge in all the things that the season brings.

Here is a list of just a few things that make this my favorite season.
Back to School … you all know what I mean.
High School Football … Packer season also.
Our apple tree … I’ll be making apple pies any day now.
Colors … the oranges, browns, yellows and reds of nature can’t be beat.
Temperatures cooling off … wearing shorts and my favorite sweatshirt.
Fall Festivals … yummy food and crafts.

Although the following scrapbook pages aren’t related to Fall, I know you can use your creativity to adapt them to any season, vacation or subject you wish.

HAPPY SCRAPPING,
Julie
