Dolly's Dreamings

Busy Autumn days of fun

The last few days have been beautiful sunny and Autumnal - goodness I love this time of year.

We headed out to the forest yesterday via a pumpkin farm

 

 

 

There were so many animals on the roads in the forest. The best sort of traffic jams

 

 

 

 

 

 

and it was glorious at Blandford this morning

 

 

I have new scrapping to share which is part of the Scrap a Sketch birthday celebrations

 

 

 

 

 

and this one

and these are day 4 and 5 for Scrap Squad's 12 days of Autumn

 

 

 

 

 

Today I am thankful

• for Autumn
• for days out
• for challenges
• for getting through this blog post - Typead is a nightmare - off to complain ... again!!

 

Autumn delights

We had a lovely walk at Kingston Lacy yesterday - I do love this time of year. Only mild Autumn colours as yet

There was a gorgeous woodland trail marked with stunning pyrography plaques

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I have new scrapping to share today too

I have new autumn pictures from this morning's walk - but they will keep until another day.

Today I am thankful for

• news that the nodule (quite large) on my lung hasn't changed and I will be rescanned in 3 - 6 months. I am terrified it is cancer but at least they are monitoring it
• a lovely autumn walk
• scrapping time

jabs and joy and birthday boys

Yesterday began with flu jabs for both of us. I am quite pleased as, thus far, I haven't developed the usual egg-sized lump on my arm. No-one liked having jabs but it's a good preventative. we have covid jabs next week too. Having had flu before - just twice - I remember how poorly we both were and so if we can reduce the risk of that and of Covid I will be pleased.

After that, we went to a Macmillan Coffee morning which was lovely and for a cause dear to our hearts. Then came the joy of painting. I downloaded a photo taken by Deanne Hope a while ago and so painted my version of it yesterday afternoon.

It is by no means perfect but I had such fun painting it and so what if it just sits in a drawer now.

 

 

 

I also have new scrapping to share.

I am playing along with the 12 days of Autumn at Scrap Squad and this was today's

 

 

 

and this was my final page using a September premium Sketch from Scrap a Sketch - another for the Norfolk/summer album 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today I am thankful for

• both jabs and joy
• in celebrating the boys' third birthday this week - how did that happen!

and here, to finish, are a few Birthday photos
