Autumn's Gold

I am rich today with autumn's gold,
All that my covetous hands can hold;

Frost-painted leaves and goldenrod,
A goldfinch on a milkweed pod,

Huge golden pumpkins in the field
With heaps of corn from

a bounteous yield,
Golden apples heavy on the trees
Rivaling those of Hesperides,

Golden rays of balmy sunshine spread
Over all like butter on warm bread;
And the harvest moon will

this night unfold
The streams running full of molten gold.

Oh, who could find a dearth of bliss
With autumn glory such as this!
Gladys Harp

I love Fall and am enjoying the drop in temperature, which finally arrived this week. In southern California signs of autumn are hard to come by but there are some trees here and there that have put on golden cloaks. Before you know it, I will be getting out our Advent calendars - can you believe it's only a few weeks until Christmas?

I made a card using

Heidi Swapp Sugar Chic paper,

a vintage book page and a doily. I also used embossing powder on the heart and tied a wooden charm to the front with pink bias ribbon.

This one is a birthday greeting but I am starting to make a few Christmas cards too.

Are you working on home-made gifts

or cards?
