Pumpkin Muffins & Printable

"It is the sweet,

simple things of life
which are the real

ones after all."

~ Laura Ingalls Wilder ~

Our family loves these

sweet & simple pumpkin muffins!

I made the recipe into an 8" x 10"

image for instant kitchen art...

A Tiny Little Flower

"Who would have thought

it possible that a tiny little

flower could preoccupy a

person so completely that

there simply wasn't room

for any other thought?"

~ Sophie Scholl ~



Lily-of-the Valley

Forget-me-not

I've re-imagined these beautiful postcard

borders into 3.5" x 5" graphics for you!  The

printable versions feature 3 of the 3.5" x 5"

graphics, as well as 2 which are slightly

smaller. I'll be using mine for writing notes,

but think they'd also make pretty

place cards or labels.

Here are the free graphics

October Pumpkins...

Bonfires and pumpkins,
leaves sailing down...
October is red and

golden and brown.

~ Printable pumpkin note papers ~

My daughter had a party at school,
so I put together 25 little bags of candy.
We added a pumpkin image to each,
because my daughter thought everyone
should have a pumpkin to color...

The printable I used is below:

The pumpkin clip art is my original

artwork.  I also used the aged background

from an image on the Old Design Shop
in my lined notepaper.  Thanks, Julie!

October's Party ~ Clip Art

October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds

came... The Chestnuts, Oaks,

and Maples, and leaves of

every name. The sunshine

spread a carpet, and

everything was grand,

Miss Weather led the dancing,

Professor Wind the band.

~ George Cooper ~

I made the printable papers for

my kids to color & cut out. I've also

included the individual clip art

leaves for you. Sources:

Ivy leaf
Laurel leaf
Maple leaf
Oak leaf
Oval leaf

1917 Farm Alphabet

I found this beautifully illustrated

farm alphabet in the back of Farmyard

Favorites. The original book was

published in 1917, and is 13.5" x 9.5."

I cleaned up and reduced the images

to 8" x 10" for printing.

Wouldn't they look sweet in a nursery?

 I've used the front and back cover
images of Farmyard Favorites here.
Hope to share more from this book
with you in the future!

Thank you for stopping by!

A Wise Old Owl

"A wise old owl sat on an oak;
the more he saw, the less he

spoke; the less he spoke the

more he heard; why aren't we

like that wise old bird?"
