I actually was able to set aside some time to scrapbook this month.  You can find the coyote paper piecing at  http://pamspaperpiecings.blogspot.ca/2016/09/coyote.html The cactus paper piecing is at  http://pamspaperpiecings.blogspot.ca/2016/09/cactus.html You can find the birthday cake paper piecing at  http://pamspaperpiecings.blogspot.ca/2016/09/birthday-cake-2.html I have several different tool paper piecings.  This paint brush is at  http://pamspaperpiecings.blogspot.ca/2016/07/paintbrush.html I finally figured out how to do a waterfall layout . . .   . . . and when you pull the tab on the left . . .

I'm pretty sure I made this comment when I reviewed Saving Private Ryan but I'll repeat it again.  I love Tom Hanks.  This was also the breakout movie for Michael Clarke Duncan, another actor I really admire. The story is about a simple, innocent black man, John Coffey, who is found guilty of raping and murdering two little girls and sentenced to death.  Coffey has a profound effect on the guards on death row, especially when they learn of his special gift which is a blessing to others and a curse to him. This movie is so moving that I dare you not to cry.

I have not been to the  Nerd Te@s  store but my son works in Woodstock and he brought me a few packages of tea to try.  I just tried Apple Chai herbal tea and it is a delicious blend of apple, hibiscus, rosehip, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, black and white peppers, clove, and nutmeg.  It brews up as a delicious fragrant relaxing tea and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  It is caffeine free and high in antioxidants.  A 50g package sells for $8.00. I still have Orange Creamsicle Rooibos and Sweet Watermelon Oolong to try.  But which will I try first?  I think perhaps I'll have a cup of Orange Creamsicle while I read some interesting articles on their blog . Check this company out . . . online or in store.

As wedding favours my soon-to-be daughter-in-law decided on little jars of honey and sweet red pepper jelly.  We spent a wonderful afternoon making jelly to put in these teeny tiny little jars. Sweet red pepper jelly is delicious with a soft cheese (like cream cheese or goat cheese) on crackers or baguette slices.  Would you like the recipe? And here they are all decorated . . .

I was only able to attend for half the day at a crop in October.  I did managed to get a few pages done.  I spent more time shopping and visiting . . . sigh . . .  The first photo is from our wedding in 1983.  The rest of the photos are of our vow renewal in 2015.
