Recycle those cans and become creative.

Here is a challenge I did a craft fair and I will be doing three more before Christmas. I decided to find something that did not cost much and turn it into something creative. I took a can and sprayed it red then I made one into an Autumn creation and the other a Christmas one. You can use your imagination to do anything and it does not have to cost much. You can give them as Christmas presents or use them as decorations.
As we change our clocks tonight here in the USA use these longer days to make something for someone and brighten up their day.

Wishing you lots of tasty English Delights.

Autumn

Now is the time to start finding those warm winter gloves. My children and I pull out the box and work out which gloves fit and which one's don't. One thing you can do to add a new style to your gloves from last year is sew a bow on them or get some seasonal broaches and place them gloves , scarves or a hat . You can set your own trend.
Go into a craft store see what is on sale I like buying ribbon when it is on sale and then you can use it to make something have a new meaning for any season.
So as you bundle up into the Autumn remember to look and see the glory and wonders of this great earth we live in. In England I lived in the countryside and I loved hearing the leaves underneath my feet. We don't have many trees in our garden here but one year my husband surprised our girls by getting a load of leaves and putting them at the bottom of their swing set. It is one of the fondest memories I have them laughing and playing in some leaves. You might not be able to do that. But you can certainly look and smell that crisp wonderful air that Autumn brings.
So come on take a walk smile and laugh and just make Autumn special for you.
Wishing you lots of tasty English Delights.
