Sweet crispy October beans - even after first frost!   

This morning I am full of thanks for the little things.  I am turning 40 in two days, and this time of year is just especially beautiful to me. The frost was here, but it didn't touch my few remaining tomatoes and peppers.  The last ones are SO yummy and precious, before we have to go back to buying the store produce again.  Thankful!

Then I checked the beans, found these especially sweet beauties to cook up for lunch ... and saw more blossoms still ready to go!  Got to walk around my garden, see the pretty, healthy chickens which have given us an unbelievable amount of beautiful brown eggs this summer ....  ahhh.  I could just drink in the beauty all around my life.   

it was a very lovely morning despite the cold. Today I am thankful for little things.

So, I thought I would share.  It is so quick and easy to create a cluster, when you already have all your supplies out from whatever project you just completed.  In this case, I had Seasons of Green & Gold scraps & die cuts left after making several kits for 3D treat boxes  ...  So, instead of trying to squirrel them away somewhere, I just started to group them together.  I created a cluster , turned a negative-space scrap into a little tag, and was about to add it to my little divider box of just such creations, when I noticed one more 3" strip on my table.  Having just bought some blank journals, my mind we...
