This 'n' That!

I don't make resolutions at New Year's.  I make them in April and October.  What a fabulous General Conference we had this weekend!  For me it's a time to re-evaluate my life, realize my potential and my blessings, be reminded of my responsibilities, and resolve to do better.

I had a surprise this weekend when I received this beautiful print in the mail. I won a giveaway at Whimsy by Victoria! This beautiful picture was created by Janet Hill.



This is a print of the painting, "The Book Club."  I love the vivid colors - AND - flowers, books and cupcakes are some of my favorite things. Thanks, Victoria and Janet!

I love the Fall weather! The rain, the cold, the white topped mountains with the red leafed sides, the Fall foods we made this weekend, and the sun making an appearance every now and then is a combination that makes me happy.
Have a marvelous Monday!

I love the fall weather too...although, I could live without the freezing temperatures that are already a part of my morning. I need a few more weeks at 45-50 degrees.

It was a great conference. Loved every bit of it!!

Ya-know, fall is a pretty time of year. I struggle with it though, because I now have to scrape my car window, my feet are always cold, and before you know it, we will bogged in with fog, snow and haze. That happens in Cache Valley. SO...I'm trying to stay positive.

I'll be checking out the blog with you as a host!!
Have a great day.

I love that you make goals on Conference weekend. I always find myself "evaluating my life" and so what a perfect way incorporate Conference into your goals while everything is still fresh on your mind.

Loved your closing thoughts about how you LOVE fall weather..the rain, the cold, the snow capped mountains with red leafed sides, seeing the sun peak through and the yummy fall foods.

Every season truly is wonderful and something to celebrate!!

Congratulations on your win and have a wonderful week!!
