It is Pumpkin Time

 I used a whole pint of pumpkin milk paint and finally finally finished most of my fall projects--I put the paint powder in a bowl two weeks ago, thinking I was ready to mix it up.  Every time I sat down to paint, something would stop me "Mom, I need a ride to class!  Mom, can you help me with editing this paper?  Elaine, can you take the dog out?" lots of stuff like that and before I knew it, 2 weeks passed by.  I was also fretting about finding a good photo back drop, when the Labor Day flea market supplied me with two great finds--first, an early early huge flour bin for only $20.  The reason for the low price is the bottom is hanging by a thread, but it makes a great backdrop.  The second is a wood laundry basket from the Amana colonies, set on end, it looks like a great old cupboard.

I actually started making Christmas goods before fall.  The laundry basket and an old feed sack are perfect for the photos.
