Autumn is in the air and it is time to give Thanks!

It is a grey day today in Michigan, where I live. The wind is shaking the  last golden leaves that remained on the trees branches.  As I glance out the window and watch  the changes  that appear I  think of the many people, places and things I am thankful for.


I had stamped this image from The Stampsmith on a piece of glossy card stock many moons ago. Last night I added color to it with distress inks via a q-tip. I had Pheasant feathers on my table. I have wanted to use these for awhile.  Growing up in the 60's we had  an abundance of Pheasants  in Michigan. Now it is rare that I see one. They have beautiful feathers.  I have many fond memories of Autumn days and my brothers hunting and the Pheasants they would bring home.  I made a few Mums using Heartfelt Creations  Delicate Asters stamp and matching die.  I added  a flourish and mats using Spellbinders dies. I made a couple of stick pins with beads I had. I dyed some seam binding  using the distress inks dried it and sprayed it with Perfect Pearls.   I sprayed Perfect Pearls on my flowers and leaves. When everything was good and dry I put it all together. 
I am thankful that my Good Lord as  given me  the direction to express my individuality.
