    this is when I get out and shoot the "family and friends winter holiday pix." the sky is at it's best blues and mountain meadows still have some flowers and the aspens will turn soon.
    What I need to do is come up with new ways to use the images for some family members!
    Everyone has gotten art pix for several years now, but I don't want to put them on something silly like a coffee mug.

    I also turn to fall gardening (a short-lived experiment here as snow can be falling by late Sept.)

    you could try putting a really funky cool frame around the pictures... paint them yourself! or, if your family and friends are into technology, you could set up an online photobook, and people can leave comments, and tell you how awesome your pictures are, drumminmama!

    autumn crafts i do are knitting and crocheting hats, scarfs, sweaters, socks... anything that'll keep a person warm in the chilly months ahead! [​IMG]

    All I've really got going right now is making my girls' halloween costumes.

    Down here in Alabama it still seems like summer...its been a warm year, we can still go swimming and not get too chilly. Once it does start to cool off though, I like to start baking sweets and other comfort foods. Its just too hot during the summer to turn on the oven...it heats up the entire house. I also start making gifts for Christmas presents...scarves, etc. The past few winters have been very mild, Im anticipating a cold one soon...
