Journey into Autumn

Spending time on the Mainland this month has put me in an Autumnal mood.  Living in Hawaii our seasons are defined a little differently; we have mango season, lychee season, whale season, and tourist season.   I love the colors and the setting sun – I’m sure it’s setting.  The sky has that hazy glow and the silhouetted grasses are dry as can be.

What is it with me and trees these days?

I am crazy about cards with trees…spring trees, autumn trees, soft trees, stark trees, trees with eyes…

This card is from the amazing Crystal, who by the way has been freed from the confines of her sofa.  Do you love the Googly eyes or is it just me?  I think I need to send an email to Demonstrator Support requesting that Stampin’ Up! add Googly eyes to the product line.  There are SO many uses for them.
