"Happy Fall" Contest!
Whew! What a busy Labor Day weekend! I got back on Friday from the Creative Photography Retreat in San Jose. What an amazing event. I couldn't believe the time and effort that went into every class--all the fun goodies, not to mention all the expert photographers who were teaching the classes. If you want to go from ho hum pictures to outstanding photos, this is the event for you. Join us in Stamford, Connecticut October 9-11th.
Kade had a big football game on Friday night and Collin also played last week. Both won their games which made for a happy Bearnson house!
Saturday was Steve's parents 50th wedding anniversary. We celebrated it in style at the White House in Bountiful (a beautiful reception center). We had a delicious Hawaiian dinner (thanks, Bamboo Hut), then a tearful program where we reminisced over 50 years of Jim and Rhea Bearnson's lives. Brecken and her cousin, Mallory, sang "For Good" from the musical Wicked--it was the perfect song to end a perfect evening. Just wanted to share a few photos that were taken for this event.
Again, the amazing Robin Johnson took the photos.
Okay--now on to this month's Kit of the Month! It's called Mix it Up and contains the coolest, most happenin' embellishments out there made out of milky-white acetate, foam, raw chipboard and printed chipboard. There are alphabets, arrows, borders, words, bird, house, plane, robot--and the list goes on and on.
Here is a page created by Allison Davis (I just want to hang this in my house!).
Here's how the acetate comes:
Also the printed chipboard:
Check out Loni Stevens and Kerri Bradford's blogs for more cool examples of the September Kit of the Month.
Also, I'm giving away 10 of these kits on this site. Just leave a "Happy Fall" thought by Friday Sept. 5th (midnight) and I'll randomly choose 10 winners on Saturday!
Have a great Wednesday.

I live in Arizona and we don't really get fall. I'm from Washington and I miss the fall so much. I love the leaves and the cool, crisp fall air. I love wearing a sweater and I love the way it starts to get dark a little earlier. I love halloween and football and chili.....fall really is great! The colors are just so wonderful and inviting as well.....Happy Fall!!! If you live in a place where it actually is fall, enjoy it for me!
I love your blog and work!!! Happy Fall, with lots of falling leaves!!!! Pick ME!!!
I love fall! Playing in the leaves; baking pies, muffins, and just about anything else :) ; and cool nights spent outdoors playing soccer, baseball, football. LOVE IT ALL!!!
Happy Fall!
The Kit Looks GREAT!
Fingers crossed.

Happy Fall, Lisa! Fall in Montana means cool nights - bundling up for football games, drinking hot cocoa, and spending more time indoors scrapbooking all those new back-to-school pictures!
Happy Fall! I cannot wait for the humidity to go away and the colors to start changing, Fall is my favorite!
The Kit of the Month looks awesome!
Jill
Happy fall, some of the leaves are already starting to turn in New York and my kids are looking at Halloween costumes. I can hardly wait for the fun.
Don't you love Fall? The colors, the cooler temperatures, and the smells! Hope you are enjoying yours as much as I am!

i love autumn!!!! the sense of an earth preparing to rest and renew in such splendor and beauty inspires slow deep breathing and wide-open eyes....
happy fall to all....!
be true.....CTR - michelle :)
Going outside on a bright sunny Saturday afternoon to rake leaves and then jumping in them with my husband and two sons. Afterwards we go inside for hot chocolate or spiced apple cider and home made treats (brownies anyone)!

Hi Lisa,
I'm so glad fall is coming. I love the weather and the beautiful colors. ~Flora
The Michigan apples are almost ready--we live by an orchard. I am going to visit next week--YUM

Oh, how I love Fall... The crisp, cool air makes outdoors activities so refreshing! AND it's not winter yet!
p.s. What a fun kit - who wouldn't want to win one?!
I love the fall because I'm in Albuquerque, and we get all sorts of hot air balloons...ALL THE TIME! it's such a pretty thing to wake up to!
THE KIT LOOKS WONDERFUL!
AND A HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO THE BEARNSONS! WOW 50 YEARS.

Happy Fall y'all! Though it is not fall-like at all here in NJ..temps are in the 90's! Either way, I am wishful thinking and making a pot of soup!

Cool weather, Halloween, sweaters, apples, football games at the high school, the smells... I LOVE Fall! It's my favorite season!
Love this kit!
do you post internationally??? I love the look of this kit - another goody that you are putting out there for us.... will look at all the ideas once i get home from work... thanks again for the chance to win... mandyb all the way from New Zealand.
I am so excited for another giveaway...I really love this kit, but since my husband and I are in school things are a little tight. I am so excited for this fall, my 2 year old daughter Addisyn is starting pre-school one day a week and she is going to do so good. I think I am more excited to start putting together a scrapbook for it though, I have been collecting tons like the school kit and the expansion pack. Also my other daughter Harper turns 1 in October. Big year changes in our home this fall! Thank you again!
I just bought mums this morning and have re-done the front porch. I am sad to see my summer flowers gone but am happy to see the warm colors in there place!!
Lisa, this is a great kit! And yes, I suppose the Happy Fall is upon us! LOL! Living in New England, however, I can always look forward to the beauty that this season brings!
I love Fall, the season of crisp days and the beauty and smell of the leaves, hot chocolate and a fire in the wood stove, snuggling in front of a football game and ATV rides!
The beautiful colors of fall make it a little bit easier to say goodbye to summer. I hope you enjoy your fall season.

Hi Lisa, my Happy Fall thought is now that the air is cool I will be attending football games and wearing warm sweaters. I will also be able to make soups to warm the family.
Crystal

Dreaming of some cool Fall days soon so that I can escape these muggy, hot and humid Florida days.
My Happy Fall thought:
I LOVE fall! My anniversary - cooler temperatures - football games - decorating my house with pumpkins and all the very pretty fall flowers - the beautiful fall leaves - picking apples and then baking something delicious.
Cindy
Michigan
Fall is great - bonfires, football, changing leaves, cooler weather, yeah! Enjoy it! Kristi D.
I can't wait for the smell of fall! Apples, pumpkins, cranberries, turkey and clean kids!
Wow - first comment! My happy fall thought has to be temperatures below 100 degrees. I wish I lived closer to changing leaves though.
I love the fall! Thanks for hte chance to enter!
Hi Lisa,
Love the pictures of Steve's parents and your children. What a great family you have!
Here's some happy thoughts for the Fall: pumpkin pies baking in the oven, hayrides, leaves changing colors. pumpkin picking, Thanksgiving! This is by far my favorite time of the year!
Lori O.
"Happy Fall" to you! Starting school is the biggest event this fall in our family with my oldest starting Kindergarten! Congrats to all the new Kindergarteners starting their 1st day of School!
I am looking forward to picking up bushels of crisp apples for fall baking: pies, sauce,apple butter and hot cider to drink with a cinnamon stick. Yummy !
Carol from MD
With the leaves starting the descent from the tree tops to my the yard below and crunching beneath my shoes. I gladly unpack my favorite hoodie sweatshirts in sweet anticipation of fall. My favorite Season. Where the world is afire with all the colors imaginable...how I love fall. Happy Fall Everyone!
And Fun Kit Lisa!
Love the pictures and the page too. I love Fall! Crunching through the fallen leaves with my kids is the best. Right now we live where there aren't a lot of leaves in the Fall so a new favorite part of Fall has become Football season. Southerners are just crazy about their football!
Hi Lisa,
Absolutely love this time of the year, definitely my favorite. Love smelling pumpkin pies baking in the oven, leaves changing colors, football season, hcokey season, hayrides, pumpkin picking, and Halloween and Thanksgiving!! The best time of the year for sure.
Would love to win one of your great kits!!
Lori O
I cant wait for fall to being… I love the changing of the seasons in the northeast. Some happy thoughts of fall… the beautiful changing colors of the leaves, crisp air, harvest time, pumpkin picking, apple cider, Halloween night, Thanksgiving turkey & warm family gatherings… Happy Fall!!
Happy Fall! I'm still in need of some more summer since us in Washington have had very mild weather this year. But the BEST part of fall is the opening of the "Apple Farm". Fresh picked apples ~ there's nothing like it.
We kicked fall off with a perfectly baked peach pie. Mmmm.
I would love a Mix it Up kit to add some spice to my pages.
although we've had a pretty mild summer, i am ready to welcome the fall season! looking forward to the changing leaves and the crisp fall air. nothing beats it!
Yeah fall and cooler temperatures most of all! Can't wait to put the fall wreath on the door every year. Butternut bisque, a batch of carmel apples, peaches quickly ripening on the tree. Yeah fall!
Thanks for the giveaway...how fun!
I love fall. The apple orchard, halloween, falling leaves, and some cooler nights. Although I don't like the kids being gone all day at school, I like the routine that goes with it. I'm a new scrapbooker, the kit looks great. Happy Fall!!!!
Happy Fall! Time to head to the orchard for apple picking, fresh cider and fresh fried cakes!
Sarah
I can't help but think of "bouquets of sharpened pencils" when I think of fall. (Think You've Got Mail!)
Congrats to your in-laws on 50 years. That is definitely something to be proud of.
I am so excited about fall to hit again here... it is my absolute favorite. LOVE Halloween time!
Happy Fall! Love falling leaves, autumn colors and Halloween.
It sure doesn't feel like Fall here in Michigan. I'm anxiously awaiting cooler temperatures and beautiful autumn colors. I'm ready for sweatshirts and jeans, open windows, and the scent of Halloween in the air.
Love little pumpkin stands that pop up in the fall to sell home grown pumpkins.
My favorite part of fall is the cooler weather, which brings on the changing leaves on the trees. I love the colors of the trees in the fall. My kids laugh at me because I always comment on how beautiful the trees are. My dream trip...besides winning a golden ticket and coming to Utah....would be to go to Vermont in the fall and just sit and watch the leaves change colors.....with a quilt and some hot chocolate....bliss.
Happy Fall everyone.
Love this kit Lisa! Here is wishing you the best fall ever!! Love ya! Dana
I almost forgot fall was coming! But on my recent move from Missouri in New Jersey I was able to see the beginnings of fall throughout Pennsylvania. Now I can't wait for fall to get here!
Hi Lisa! Happy Fall! I have to say that fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. We do not get the full effect here in Georgia as we did when we lived in Indiana but it still brings lots of fun. Leaves, pumpkin patches, Halloween, my birthday, football, and cooler weather.
I would love to win a kit!
Have a great day! :-)
Happy Fall ya'll!! I love this time of year. Leaves changing, fall colors, fall decor, and most of all the fall smells.
Fall is my favorite season....we live in New England, so we get to experience the fall foliage, cooler temps, apple picking, pumpkin picking, and carving! Love the crisp cool mornings also.
Hi Lisa! I would love to win a kit!
Fall is absolutely my favorite time of year. Time for pumpkins, colorful leaves, Halloween, football, outdoor fires for roasting marshmallows, cooler weather, and my birthday.
Have a great day! :-)
A Happy Fall starts with the return of college football!
can't wait for fall!!! even if it means winter is close :(
i love fall....
Fall in Pennsylvania - visit to the pumpkin patch, Apple Harvest Festival, lots of leaves in our neighborhood - and acorns, too, Halloween, and the corn maze
We don't get much of a fall here in Las Vegas, but we really enjoy the few short weeks of it.
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf's a flower.
--Albert Camus
This is how I see fall - especially from a photographer's standpoint. I love that I can wear a sweater outside and not be cookin' or freezin' I love the rich array of colors in the trees, the fact the sun sets a little earlier, and the smell of the air in the morning. It's by far my favorite time of year!
Is it coming on Fall already! Wow- summer here in Northern Illinois seems like it was so short and now I'm seeing "punkins and scarecrows" already out in the stores. That's okay by me, though, as autumn is my favorite season!
(By the way, I LOVED the photo of their hands.... a classic and looks wonderful in black & white!)
Happy Fall thoughts are the wonderful leaves changing colors in Minnesota, the apple crisp to be baked, the sweater weather that I am looking forward to. All of it good. After November, let's fast forward to May! ;-)
I love fall--and so far where I have lived it doesn't get any better than in Utah. I love fall clothes, colors, cool nights and warm days, football games, crunchy leaves,and fall holidays. And anything else that is fall that I will think of after I sign out. :)
Love the kit!
Best Memory of Fall
Driving to BYU from AF and noticing the first leaves changing color on Y mountain---that stays with a girl now in San Diego!
Fall for our family means going to the pumpkin patch with Grandma and Grandpa! It's such a great tradition that we have kept going for years. Everyone finds just the right pumpkin to take home!
jforbeck@tctelco.net
Love the fall-so pretty here in Ohio.
"Happy Fall" in our house is a big basket of fresh apples from one of our nearby apple orchards. Happy fall to you and your family.
"Fall" means harvesting time to me, a dairy farmer's wife in Indiana. This is our busy time and I will be grateful when everything is harvested and stored for winter and I can get back to scrapbooking. This KOTM would sure come in handy.
Thanks, Lisa.
Happy Autumn - cool nights, warm days, quiet house, kids at school, football and chili!
Congrats to your in-laws on 50 wonderful years. What a wonderful legacy.
Christina in PA
We drove by the local farm this afternoon and the hay maze is up and running! This is a sure sign of fall around here in NJ.
Happy fall...the crisp feel of fall air!
Happy Fall! This is my favorite time of the year! The leaves change into the most beautiful colors, you get to eat warm apple pie all the time, and you get to go to the pumpkin patch to pick out decorations! :)
Happy Fall! crispy leaves, crispy apples, cool crisp days, back to school...lots of fun!
September has always been my favorite month but this year we have extra reason to celebrate...a new baby boy coming in 3 weeks! I just LOVE fall!
Fall is comfy sweatshirts, campfires, leaves for jumping in, spiced cider, my bday, our anniversary, lots of family and neighborly events, football games, pumpkin patch and hayrides, and giving thanks.
Happy Fall from Texas...I can just see the football weather in the air. Brings back lots of memories growing up in small town Arkansas and getting ready for Friday night games...Love your blog...your magazine...your creations...you're an inspiration!!!
Happy Fall
I am seeing beginning signs of Fall in Denmark right now! Lots of grey skies, windy days and the sense in the air that summer's gone.
Fantadtic pictures and what a happy occation!
From Denmark, Happy Fall
Henriette
Happy fall, y'all! The leaves are already changing color here - I love it! The kit colors go perfectly with my new bedroom decor. It would be great to get to make something to go with it from this kit!
I love photographing fall foliage. I can be found with my camera along side a road if the leaves catch my eye. I'm sure I have pictures of many of the same trees or scenes (just different years)!
Happy Fall Lisa! I love the fall because it's mine, my daughter's and my husband's birthday all in October and I love Halloween, it's my 2nd favorite holiday. I have been trying to contact you, I wanted to say thank you again for hooking me up with Angelin Bryce during CKU-Provo. I missed you at the end of the event and I sent you an email (Brecken gave me your email address) but I never got a response so I'm not sure if you ever got it! I missed you again at the CPR-San Jose, I went to the hotel on Saturday and you were already gone. I know you are an extremely busy person but I definitely wanted to make sure that you knew how much I appreciated all that you did for me at CKU Provo and how touched I was that you remembered me from CKC-Seattle 2 years ago! You rock Lisa! Happy Fall to you and your family!

I love the smell of fall! Happy Fall!

Happy Fall to you and happy 50th to Steve's parents. Love the black and white picture of their hands. Thanks for the opportunity!!!
Fall in Texas means high school football. Yea!!!! Unfortunately we don't get to see the changing seasons and the temp is usually warm right up until Thanksgiving and sometimes even Christmas. Love reading your blog and would love to win one of the September KOTM. Happy Fall!
Having moved from Michigan to Georgia this last summer, I won't have the "fall" that I grew up in or love so much, but I am a military wife, and we move quite a bit, so my "happy fall" thought is this; wherever you are, whether in location or in life, enjoy where you are, who you are and what you are. Happy Fall.
Here in AZ we don't really get a fall, but fall means a break in the hot weather is on its way and the weather for which we all living here in AZ is right around the corner! Yippee
So, Happy Fall Y'all!
Love,
Keri
Hi Lisa
Fall is when the weather starts to cool down here in Phoenix. My kids are outside every day and my favorite is Trick-or-Treating in sandals/flip-flops. We used to live in Utah and it seemed like it usually snowed around Halloween time and Trick-or-Treating was freezing! October evenings in Phoenix are perfect for a little candy collecting and we don't have to wear coats under or over our costumes!
Happy Fall!
Heather
Queen Creek, AZ
Yes, I am ready for a new season. My oldest started Kindergarten today. Happy Fall! Thoughts of hot cocoa, a warm fire, a cozy turtleneck, the Holidays...
BTW, I love the bright and creative September kit. I just bought one last night. :o)
Happy Fall! Yep, Labor Day has passed, so I suppose whether I like it or not, fall is approaching. Since I moved from MN to NM, I love that fall and winter don't mean I have to be holed up indoors for 4 months! Thanks for the fun giveaway, Lisa! :D
Hi Lisa
GREAT photos!
Fall thought.....BACK TO SCHOOL!!!
With one kid in 1st grade and my husband and I BOTH teachers, fall is all about SCHOOL!!!!
Not to mention, the donuts and cider, falling leaves, crisp air, etc. in Michigan. LOVE FALL!
Trindin
Yay! I love, love, love the fall. It's my favorite time of the year and I can feel it coming just around the corner!
My happy fall thought is that it will finally get down below 100 degrees and we can start spending more time outside again! I love, love, love fall!
Happy Fall! We've already been having some nice crisp autumn weather!
Happy football, happy leaves, happy color, happy cool nights, happy fleece, happy jeans and boots, happy nature at its best, happy favorite season, happy no more swimsuit!! Happy fall!
I'm so happy for fall and football!! In Texas today, the high was only 59 degrees. Yippee!!
Love the KOTM!
This kit is so much different than the previous ones. I love all the embellishemnts it comes with-I hope I win one.
Fall is my favorite season. The crisp air, the colors, the corn maze, the pumpkin patch and jumping into piles of leaves...It is a great time to be thankful to be on this beautiful world of ours.
Hey Lisa,
Awesome pictures of Steve's parents and your family! Would love to use the KOTM for all the fun fall activites we have in Western NY.
Our "happy fall" is filled with soccer, soccer and more soccer. Plus, we rake leaves and pick up apples.
Happy Fall to the Bearnsons!

My "happy thought" for Fall...Kiddos are back in school, the nights are getting cooler and Halloween is just around the corner. Love Fall, it's my favorite time of year!
I never win any of these contests, but it's sure fun to try!

Fall begins a whirlwind of birthday craziness for our family. Every one of our family memebers have birthdays in the fall and just about every one of the cousins on my husbands side do as well. It is just one big party around here and we love it! So "happy fall, happy birthday, happy everything!"
Amy S.
For our family, fall means only one thing...Marching Band!!! It is a fun and busy time.
Happy Fall Everyone!
Joan
Happy fall, y'all! I don't know about you, but I'm eagerly awaiting the crunchy leaves, jeans-and-sweater weather and trick-or-treating with my little ones! It's my favorite season of the year. Wish it stuck around a little longer. Here's wishing you all a very happy fall. Enjoy!
I love the fall and being from California, we are looking forward for some cooler weather.
Here in Texas I'm not sure we get a "true" fall, but fall is my absolute favorite time to decorate my house! I can't wait to get out all my fall stuff and make my home feel warm and cozy!
Would love to get one of those kits! Thanks Lisa for the chance to win.
Happy Fall to you!
Susanne
I love fall. It's been in the 80s and 90s here lately, so it hasn't felt very festive. But today it is in the 60s and I'm loving the cool crisp air. In a few short weeks we'll be able to go apple picking and pumpkin carving - I can't wait!
Happy Fall, Lisa!!!!
It's my favorite season of the year. The crisp cool air, the colors of the leaves, the smell of burning fireplaces and warm fuzzy sweaters:)
Your KOTM is a great choice for many fall layouts:)
Love your site, creativity and give aways.
Fall doesn't hit here in Mississippi until Thanksgiving! Oh, how I miss the Utah fall weather. I burn yummy smelling pumpkin candles to help me celebrate autumn...love the new kit-hope to win one (smiles)!
I love fall. It is my favorite time of year. The leaves turn beatiful colors and it is not so hot that you can't stand being outside. I hope everyone gets out and enjoys the season change.
Happy Fall! Fall here in Texas means it's not as hot come the end of October. {grin} We're also gearing up for our 4th annual carnival birthday party for our youngest. It's become something we look forward to every year.
happy fall...love this season...the best is the changing of color, which i know isn't anything compared to other parts of the country...but compared to my childhood home, it's amazing! :)kristen in nor cal
Hi--Here is a Fall quote!
"A fallen leaf is nothing more
than a summers wave good-bye."
Amy B.
Lincoln, NE
Oh Happy Fall! I am anxiously waiting for the cooler weather and pulling out all my Fall decorations. I just love this time through the end of the year; just one great holiday after another. :)
Happy Fall! The September Kit is great! Fall means the beginning of the holiday season, which also means plenty of opportunities to scrap & craft.
After all the heat this summer, I'm looking forward to Fall to rescue and rearrange my poor neglected garden. Thanks for yourconstant encouragement.
I love that layout too! It makes you want to go home and get under a rug with a big cup of hot coffee!
Happy Fall!! I am hungry right now so fall makes me think of Thanksgiving dinner and pumpkin pie! yummo!
My happy fall thought is watching the leaves change color! Also, football! :)
I love the start of fall with the cool crisp air and the changing colors of the trees. Happy Fall everyone!!
Maggieanne said,
Happy fall means to me crisp cooler air, warm soup to eat and finally Dallas Cowboy football on TV again. It is nice to scrap the photos from summer at this time, while wearing sweaters and the leaves are changing colors too.
I love fall...the beautiful evening sunsets...the apples on the tree...the pumpkin patches and the fresh pressed cider...Mmmm!!!
Fall is my favorite time of the year! I love how crisp and quiet it becomes outdoors! We still have a few more weeks of hot and humid here in Kansas - but I'm starting to pull out the long sleeve shirts, pullovers, sweats and jeans in preparation. This is my first year to have both children in school all day - so getting lots of organizing, cleaning and scrapbooking done!
My happy Fall thought is my parents 50th on November 26 and Ryan and Sydni's Wedding on November 28, so you know what I will be doing this fall. I love to win stuff. Stacy got a job at the MTC!!!!!!!!
Many thanks to you for telling her about that. That is why she wanted to do it so bad! Love you tons and tons!
We are looking forward to two BIRTHDAYS in the Fall:
Jackson will be 9 on 9/24
and
Chase will be 7 on 11/27
And it coools down in October in Texas!!!
Yeah, Fall!!!!
I live in the Pacific NW where we definitely see the fall. Fall is one of my favorite seasons because Halloween falls then (scary to be thinking of Halloween already!).
Happy Fall to All!
Welcome Autumn (Fall I just love the word - Autumn hee hee).
Time for yummy Fall food & chilly notes to spend with your loved ones.
- jeanette
I live in Florida so Fall won't be until November, but to me Fall is piles of leaves, pumpkin bars, pumpkin patches and Trick or Treating! Thanks. Your kids are getting so big.
Happy Fall!!! When I was growing up in lower Alabama we never had the four seasons, so now that I live up in New York I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything about fall...the changing leaves, the crisp air, apple picking, Halloween, wearing my favorite pair of jeans and a sweater...the list could go on and on. Thanks for a chance to win!!!
What a great looking kit! I can't wait to get my hands on it!!
Hi Lisa,
Fall is my favorite of all the seasons. It just doesn't get better then that first sip of apple cider!
Mickey
OMGoodness Lisa, those photos are AMAZING! That hand photo with the wedding rings makes me want to cry tears of happiness! That is so gorgeous! Congratulations to them! It's amazing, I feel like I know your parents from seeing them on so many layouts throughout the years in CK magazine, but I'm not sure how many times I've seen your in-laws! They're so cute!
Your new kit looks AMAZING! No surprise there! However, after having received my Cricut Expression as an early Christmas gift from my sweetheart, my husband Dave, I told him I wouldn't buy anything else for the rest of the year! I can do it! (I hope!!) Thanks for the opportunity to win one!
Allison's page is AMAZING! I love all that paper tearing at the bottom! WOW! I'm off to check out the other blogs with more examples!!
Congratulations also to your boys on their WINS!
Take care!
P.S. Oh yes, my favorite "fall" thought is really fall itself. It's my favorite season. I love the cool, crisp air, the holidays (Halloween AND Christmas) are my favorite two holidays, and I just love the energetic feeling I get on a wonderful fall day! Enjoy fall! (Even though I know you love summer best!!)
living in southern california, fall is pretty much non-existent, but i experienced my first fall two years ago in canada and wow, now i understand what all the fuss is about. i couldn't believe how beautiful everything was -- the weather, leaves, trees, etc. i had "fallen" for fall. :)
I miss fall. I have lived in the central US and on the east coast, where you get weather and seasons. Unfortunately, I have moved home to So. Cal., which I love, but it is always green. I would love some orange and brown leaves in the trees and on the yards. So, happy fall to all of you that get it. I think as a consolation to missing fall, I should receive one of the KOTM, don't you???
HAPPY FALL! I love this time of year...cooler weather, corduroy and sweaters. Not to mention the yummy treats!
Happy Fall! This is my favorite season. I love the crisp chill in the air. I love the days you can just "smell" fall. Fall also means football...go BYU!
oops! left a comment...but didn't see it here so i'll try again.
Happy Fall! I love this time of year...cooler weather, corduroy and sweaters. Also, enjoy the yummy treats!
I live in the SF Bay Area and there's not much to the seasons here, but I have a window over my front door that shows it all. I love to sit in my living room and look out the window to see the tree in my front yard go from green to yellow and brown, to bare branches, and on to blossoms.
Happy Fall! Love the new kit!
Fall in the northeast is beautiful. Happy Fall everyone!
♥ It seems like the weather has changed really quick around here! I'm enjoying the cooloer weather! :) Happy Fall...
Fall is my favorite season, and I can't wait to start doing all my favorite fall activities with my family.
Fall is my favorite season of the year...the warm and inviting colors of the leaves, the fresh crisp of the air, and the anticipation of winter and the holiday celebrations with family & friends.
This fall is special us, as my eldest begins his educational journey as a Kindergartner.
Happy Fall!
Sara
Fall means cool nights, school supplies, apples, and big mums worn to football games :) I love it when the leaves turn and air is crisp. We just started school this week after two very rainy two weeks and this week it is clear & sunny! I Have a high schooler this year - Homecoming! I'm more excited than he is:)
Fall is my favorite season, and this should be the best because I will soon be having my first baby, and I will have off of work the whole season to spend with him.
Definitely happy fall -- my favorite season! What's not to like -- honeycrisp apples, pumpkin patch trips, leaves crunching under your feet, bonfires, halloween, thanksgiving...I could go on and on!
Fall is beginning in St. Louis! The weather is cooling down and leaves are starting to fall. I'm busy trying to figure out which kid needs boots, coats and gloves before the cold weather gets here! Would love one of your beautiful new kits to provide me with some creative distraction!

I live in Florida, so we don't have Fall. Our seasons are Hot (Spring), Sweltering So Don't Bother Going Outside (Summer), Hot and Rainy (Fall), and Slighly Less Hot (Winter).
I dream of living somewhere where I can see leaves change colors, and enjoy all the things that Autumn brings. Here's hoping you enjoy the coming season!

Hi Lisa! Happy Fall! Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the change of color in all the trees, our annual outing to our local pumpkin patch, going to haunted houses with the kids, enjoying applecider around a big bon fire with friends and the cool crisp air! Its wonderful!

Happy Fall to You, Lisa. Down Under in Australia we are celebrating the start of Spring - and after a long cold wet winter here in Southern Australia, it is very welcome.
I love the photo of the grandparents and kids - they all look so relaxed!
Cheers
Kathryn
Happy Fall Lisa to you and yours. No real fall in Cali but....lots of cinnamon candles, football and lazy day scrapbooking and card making.
Happy Fall and thanks for sharing your busy time with us.
Happy Fall to all in the Northern Hemisphere - we are jumping into Spring down here in Sydney but I love all the Fall images I see from the States especially all the halloween stuff! Love the kit!
Thanks for a great blog and congrats to your inlaws on their Golden Anniversary!

Happy fall everyone! I always look forward to the start of the school year for my kids
Happy fall everyone look forward to the school year starting with my kids
I just dropped my oldest child off at the MTC a few hours ago (sniff sniff!)and I'm thinking about how FALL is going to be very different around here! I wouldn't want my son spending his FALL anyplace else!!

Fall is my favorite time of the year! I am so excited every year as the season begins to change. The colors are delicious, and I can't wait to craft with them.
I hope you and your family have the best fall ever!
I used to dislike fall...then I heard a storyteller tell a Native American story about how the leaves fall from the trees to keep the underground animals warm in the winter. (Well that was the jist of it). I really love fall now...starnge how one thing can turn your mind around...

My happy fall thought is I moved in July from a small condo in the city to a house on 1.5 acres out in the sticks and my new yard is full of trees... only a few more weeks before they begin to change colours. I am so looking forward to the magnificent spectacle I'm certain they'll be!
Super happy fall!! We haven't seen it yet here in Central CA. It's still HOT!!
I'd love to win.
Hey Lisa,
I want to rip right into the kit of the month it looks like so much fun! Fall around OK is really anticipated after muggy 95 temps.! Our first Friday night high school football game always means fall is here. The cooler temps, the hot cocoa & snuggling under the blanket at the game is my favorite time of the year! Happy fall to you!
Happy Fall and I love your blog. I live in Orlando Fl and while fall for us does not come tell late Nov, I can't wait for the days where it's cool in the moring and cool and night. It makes me remember why I live here and put up with the days of 90's and humid. Do you enjoy fall harvest things like apple and pumpkin picking those are some of the best fall moments to take time and be with family. Hot apple cider umm that's the best!
Happy Harvest, Erika
I love Fall
It's my favorite season of all
Even though summer was a ball
The cooler weather comes to call
The leaves crunch underfoot
The smell of them burning to soot
Figuring out where the pumpkin should be put
Happy Fall Lisa and all
Happy Fall Thought.... Of course fall starts about November for us! but here's to cooler tempertures and lack of tropical activity aimed at my home.
Happy Fall from Pennsylvania! Fall means all the caramel apples you can eat.
Two words: pumpkin bread. I can't wait to make the first batch of the season!
It's sad to see summer end, but Fall brings so many wondeful things...colors, weather, sweaters, pumpkins, hay rides, and food of course!

I'm glad that fall is approaching. That means that the weather will be cooler! Too hot right now. I love all the color that happens in the fall and wearing sweatpants and sweatshirts!
Cute kit for the month of Sept!

Well, my husband and I started dating in the fall, my birthday is in October and I love all the festivals. When I was a little girl, my grandma told me the leaves were changing colors to celebrate my birthday.
Happy Fall from Pekin IL.
I can smell the pumpkin spice latte already! YUM! I love fall!
Jeanne in Denver, where it's finally a little cooler so far this week!
It's the time of year, when the brilliant colors appear.
The morning air nips at your nose, and paints your cheek the color rose.
Leaves, apples, pumpkins, Halloween, and corn mazes too, and trick-or-treaters doing the skip-to-my loo.
The warm indian summer days warm my heart, cause it's time for fill the pumpkin cart.
Lisa, your blog enriches my life because you so willing share you life. Thank you for always inspiring me to want to do more and be more everyday!
I love the fall! THe colors...reds, oranges and yellows just make everything feel warm and cozy. Fire pits on the deck and the saturday soccer games are a favorite around here. I just love the cooler weather...bye bye humidity.
Happy fall to me is getting away with my husband of 20 years for a weekend retreat, going on walks and just enjoying God's beautiful creation!

I love fall....cooler temperatures and sunny days make me happy. Fresh apples and crunchy leaves underfoot make me happy. Indian summer days make me happy. Fall is my FAVORITE season! :) Would love a kit to play with!!
Love fall-falling leaves, apple pie, a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils.
The cool weather, all the fall colors from changing leaves, a yummy pumpkin candle burning all day...Fall is my favorite!
Happy Fall!
Fall is absolutely the best in New England. God is singing with the leaves changing there!
Thank you for what you have provided for this industry!
I love the changing of the leaves into burnt autumn colors. Our family likes to gather all the leaves in the yard and put them into piles and jump in them. Although because of the hurricane this year i am not sure if there will be any leaves on the trees...we might have to improvise and get fake leaves at the craft store to jump into.
Megan from Louisiana
Autumn is my favorite season. I like to have september 1st as my "new year". Its pretty much the start of everything, school year, holiday project making, new school clothes buying... More of a strict schedule..(no more sleeping in!)

I love fall. It's my most favorite time of year... Happy fall to you and your family Lisa. I hope those football wins were just the beginning for your boys....
Some of my favorite memories are growing up in WV and playing in the leaves in the fall. It's definitely my favorite season. Happy Fall.

For us in Texas, High School football=fall. :)
Happy Fall from Missouri! It actually kind of felt like fall today. :)
I never had a real Fall until moving to Kansas and it amazes me to see all the leaves turning such rich colors!! That is the only thing I like about Fall, though. i don;t like that the weather is colder, but with no snow!! LOL
Thank you for the chance to win!!

Happy Fall, I hope everybody can jump in the leaf piles at least once this year!!
Fall in NY is awesome! Our family moved to the Buffalo area 7 years ago during the fall and when we drove through the small center of the town we live in the trees were lined with beautiful fall colors! I remember thinking, "Wow! I can't believe how lucky I am to live here!". Now, each fall I think the exact same thing! Happy Fall to you!
I won't win, but I just moved to South Jordan Utah about 4 weeks ago, and I LOVE that I get to have Fall! It is my favorite time of year, and so I am so grateful to experience Fall at it's best! I love the colors, the nip in the air, but still great weather, the anticipation it brings for upcoming holidays and family time! Happy Fall everyone!

Happy Fall...to me brings memories of cool nights with the bedroom windows open...listening to critters chirp as I drift off to sleep!
I cannot wait until things cool down here and a Happy Fall has entered Indiana. I love Fall, the sound of crunchy leaves, the colors, the good food,
happy happy fall.
I live in South Texas and I wish we got a fall here. On my list of things to do, is to go on a fall foliage trip. One day...
Thanks for the chance!
Katherine
Fall is almost here but not so much in South Carolina. Fall means apple picking in the mountains of North Carolina for our family. We are going in a few weeks! Woohoo!
I hope I am a winner. Thanks for the opportunity.
Teresa
