What a fun celebration, I want some of that cake.

Loving that you're keeping this tradition alive. Once again with your art, you've shown how the simple things in life matter and should be celebrated.

Ditto what everyone else has commented. Fabulous work.

What a great shot, your background is stunning too.

What a lovely portrait, so beautifully frame.

This is spooky and pretty at the same time. Fabulous work.

Your glorious art is the essence of fall.

Superb challenge. Thanks for hosting Sharon.

This challenge was to add texture to your art. Anna's APP Urbicolous was ideal. And I loved using my barn swallow photos again. Thanks for looking.

Yep, I am teaching her how to be an artist. So she can understand that it can be a viable career. I so wish I would have had an artistic mentor when I was growing up. She actually wants to learn how to do this on the iPad. When she's a little older I will teach her. Gotta love artsy kids.

Your blending is fantastic.

Your family history is beautifully displayed in your art.

You are the undisputed Queen of Heritage Design. This is exceptionally powerful.

Beautiful and magical.

Wow, those are some honky big apples. I have to ask: did they taste good. You're looking so happy in these photos.

The essence of fall.

The depth in your art is simply amazing.

Love this photo and your layout.

So beautifully done, love how the color accents your treasured photo. Yay on the GSO.

Beautifully balance, loving that delicious orange.
