It's time for November's Sampler Kit.. Harvest Time! Thinking about harvesting, I picture fields of corn or pumpkin patches. And with farming, you've got to have a scarecrow to scare away the birds. This was a theme that was requested by a couple different people. I hope they enjoy my vision of harvest time. Several people have asked what I do with the samplers. I use them as home decor pieces in my home. I change it out every month … [Read more...] about November Sampler-Harvest Time

September Sampler-Globe Trotter
It's time to reveal the September Sampler kit - Globe Trotter. Traveling is near and dear to my heart. In my Sampler kits, I've already covered a number of types of travel, like cruising, camping, and road trips. But traveling by airplane will always be my favorite. There's just something magical about flying through the air to someplace far away. I need to give a shout out to my daughter, Maddie, who suggested the title this month. I think … [Read more...] about September Sampler-Globe Trotter

July Sampler-Fair Fun
Summer is all about County Fairs. There is so much to do at a fair that it was a bit of a challenge to capture the best parts of it in my sampler. There are always lots of rides, some for little kids and some for big kids. There are lots of different food options. Fair foods have really gone crazy over the years with deep-fried everything. I stuck with the classics - cotton candy and giant pretzels. And, of course, there's nothing quite like the … [Read more...] about July Sampler-Fair Fun
June Sampler-On The Farm
Today I'm sharing my Sampler Kit for June, which is On The Farm. I'm not a farm girl, but I do have fond memories of going to the LA County Fair with family every year and seeing all the farm animals. I was always surprised at how big the cows and pigs really are. It's amazing to see if you're never seen these animals up close. Several people have asked what I do with the samplers. I use them as home decor pieces in my home. I change it out … [Read more...] about June Sampler-On The Farm
