While I went to grab my camera to share this super cute applique pattern with you, Avery hurried to the kitchen to grab a piece of pizza. With the pizza sauce inches from her fresh, white shirt I snapped a photo! Not only is she fast but she's sneaky too! :) Okay, back to the pattern, I've been wanting to use this pattern on one of Avery's shirts for months and I finally did! I found it at Sandi Henderson's blog. She designed all the fabric in the quilt I made for Quincey, this book, the recycle bag etc etc. She's amazing!
The fabric I used on this tee is Amy Butler (shame on me;) but I can't wait to play with Sandi's new Farmer's Market line. If I could only even attempt to sew the skirts and other beauties she whips out for her girls, but for now I'll stick to using her fabric in my scrapbooks. :)
Also, it makes me happy that Scrap Etc loves my blog readers as much as I do and want to send one of their killer kits to a lucky reader's doorstep!! But the question is what do you have to do to win one? :) How about leave me a comment about something you're anticipating about Fall. While you're thinking click on their blog and check out the awesome examples they've made with it!
I wish I could attend their Wrapper's Delight but I will for sure be at their Spring event! Then I can hang out with my friend Gretchen & she can show me why she loves the South so much!! What are grits anyway? :)

I am looking forward to 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.
The Big E!!! It is a fair held in MA and honors all NE states. It is a food, ride and agricultural feast! I have been every year since I was 5!!! I love it and it rings in the fall for me and my family!! Happy fall!

College football. There is nothing better than snuggling on the couch with my husband, eating wings and cheering on my team! I love the fall. :)
We have a huge festival here in October called Pumpkin Show. We really look forward to fall.
Driving out to the country to buy fresh, crisp Macintosh apples from a farm stand at the edge of the road!
Yum!!!

I'm looking forward to cool mornings with a crisp blue sky. I can't wait for local festivals - such as "Apple Days". I love pumpkin carving with my hubby! And snuggling by the fire on cold Fall nites. And of course using all of the Autumn colors in my scrapbooking:)
excited for cold days.
I'm a West Virginia girl, so of course the best thing about Fall is WVU football!!!! Last year our coach left us to head off to Michigan so we are starting brand new with a new coach. WVU football means getting together with the family, eating great food, and watching some football! :)

What I am anticipating most about fall is Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday and I love everything about it. The decorations, the dinner, the dessert, the parade, and all the time with family and friends. This year I'm hosting and I'm going to do a special mini book that everyone can write in - I can't wait!
I'm looking forward to turning off the air conditioning and enjoying open windows! Lets hope it cools off enough that that actually happens this year!!! (Last year in FL we had the air on year round...it was awful!)
You know, I used to dread Fall, because I live in the Northwest and the rain is coming, and it lasts about 8 months...but I've tried to embrace it lately, so I'm looking forward to cups of tea and cozy quilts.
I love autumn and one of my favorite things about it is sleeping with the window cracked open at night and sleeping in the cool crisp night air.

I am looking forward to apple orchard visits, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and my birthday!
I'd love to win! :)
Wow, so many comments! :) I am anticipating our daughter's tenth birthday. We love the "double digit" birthday around here. She wants a pocket watch, inspired by the golden compass book. She wants her birthday theme to be "time/clock". Her birthday is early October. :) Their minds, growing and changing, make me smile... and want to scrapbook! :)
Not ready for it yet, but when it gets here, I always enjoy the gorgeous liquidamber trees when they change color (yes, our trees in CA change color, too! LOL) and high school football games on chilly nights.
My google name never works, so I have to post anonymously...sorry!

Definitely looking forward to taking lot's of photos! Fall is my favourite picture taking season!
The changing colours in the leaves and the smell of pinecones roasting...love it.
I'm looking forward to no humidity!!! Can't wait.
so cute, that avery girl is!
Fall is my favourite time - the crispness in the air, the apple cider, Halloween, the pumpkins, the colours, the fact that even the trees dress up in their best to celebrate the best season of the year.
I have two favorite things about fall: First, Halloween, its one of my favorite holidays. Second would be cooler weather! Which wont happen until about Halloween since I live in Phoenix, AZ.
Debbie S.
We have 9, one week old precious labrador pups. We look forward to spending time watching these little ones grow over the next 7 weeks and then finding loving homes for each one of them!
I LOVE the changing leaves, cool weather to wear sweatshirt & shorts, Ohio State football, picking pumpkins, eating warm apple pie and I could go on and on!
Thanks - Stacey

Cool, fall weather--sweatshirts and leaves changing colors. It's my favorite season!
I'm looking forward to cooler weather, fall activities at school, and watching my kids' excitement for Halloween. You have the cutest blog with great ideas! And your kids are darling too. Thanks for the opportunity.
I can't wait for rainy days! I know I'm crazy but here in Calif. we don't get that many and I LOVE them! ~carly, craftiegal ckmb
What I always anticipate about fall is my birthday (although its technically a couple days before fall). After that is everything pumpkin - coffee, scones, pie, icecream, muffins, bread, etc.
Pumpkins - I'm looking forward to pumpkins. They are my favorite color, I love that the whole family (grandparents included) goes to pick them out and then gathers in the front yard to carve them.
I love everything there is about Fall! It's by far my favorite season. Our family loves going through the huge corn maze at a nearby pumpkin farm and carving a host of pumpkins for our porch. Funny thing with me is, I like to look out at the trees changing colors because it reminds me of a bowl of Trix cereal! The colors of Fall just make me feel so good!!
Thanks for offering those scrappy yummies! BTW, love your blog Lizzy!
ScrappinNonna
Just found your blog... It's so fun!
I love the cooler weather of fall... I love the color of the trees and feel of the air... I love the campfires... And I love the west wind!
Chilli in the crock pot, fires in the fireplace and big hugs through sweeters.
or sweaters! ha!
Alabama football!!
that is a pretty amazing kit to win!!!!!!
I am looking forward to hearing the stories my son will come home with from school. He just started Kindergarten this morning, and it is so cute to hear him talk about it.
Fall for me is the changing of the leaves, the chill in the air, the football games on TV, and walks in the park with my guys. :)
i look forward to cool mornings and warm afternoons - and even though i'm in southern california, i look forward to a few local trees changing colors. :)
I love the colors of Fall, as well as baking pumpkin nut bread! It also means the cooler weather and the excitement of the kids in anticipation of Halloween.

I love fall clothes! I'm too chubby to wear summer clothes, so I feel so much more comfortable when I can put on my jeans and a sweater!
Amanda
I love, love,love Ohio State football, the smell of burning leaves, apple picking, wearing sweatshirts and jeans again... Oh I just love it all. Fall is my absolute favorite.
Where do I start?
1) Sending balloons to heaven in memory of our little angel on his first b-day 2) The weather and leaves changing 3) Decorating the house for Halloween for our 6 yr old son 4) Wearing all my crazy boots!!!
Love Avery's shirt!!!
I can't wait for making soups, fires in the fireplace and taking pictures of my boys among freshly fallen leaves.
Fall is my favorite season! I love everything about it. I look forward to seeing the leaves change colors, my kids carving their pumpkins, the smell of apple pie baking in the oven, wearing warmer/cozier clothes, & the time that will be spent with family and friends.
I am most looking forward to harvesting our garden. We have a whole LOT of purple beans to harvest this weekend, as well as more peas and some rhubarb as well. Going to be freezing most everything- but I'll make Green beans with bacon and almonds first! YUMM!
Love the tee-shirt, btw- Avery is very lucky to have a mommy who sews- I loved having my mom make me stuff! AmberZ
What I am looking forword to the most is going to Cider Days in Springfield MI. It is a HUGE craft fair where people from all over the community come and sell hand crafted goods, oh...and Elsie Flannigan is going to be there!! YEAH! : )
Im anticipating the return of the birds as I put my birdfeeders back out now that summer is coming to an end ( and hopfully the neighborhood-birdfeeder-stealing-bear is gone too!)
I look forward to fall for many reasons...both of my boys will celebrate birthdays and we LOVE going to the pumpkin patch, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. I could go on... :)
New clothes for my 5 year old daughter, getting to wear my red leather jacket again, leaves changing colour, fall fairs. Really I could go on and on!! Love your blog!!
I am looking forward to actually being able to take my boys outside to play in managable weather and not have them eaten alive by mosquitos!! LOL...but I also look forward to all the fall holidays and that first fall cold front we have where you can actually stand outside and feel the cool air push away the hot air!! It's awesome!!!
Football! And getting rid of Daylight Savings Time. And reading books. And wearing fabulous sweaters and scarves.
Fall...the colors, the crisp air, the feeling that winter is right around the corner (and summer is gone for another year).
I can't wait for Halloween, dressing up, candy, decorating pumpkins, and trick-or-treating -- My (and my girls) favorite!
the smell of burning leaves, and fall color tours
Jeans and a t-shirt, cozy sweatshirts at night, pumpkin
everything, a pile of leaves in my
backyard with my 2 boys running thru them, fair season, football
on sunday afternoons....
oh i just love it. fall just makes me so happy!
thanks shauna
My favorite is going to be having my 5 month old wear the same halloween costume that my almost 6 year old wore. I also can't wait to start cooking yummy food. For some reason stews, crock pot, and really good home cooking doesn't taste the same in the summer. Happy fall.
So ironic, I just used they same fabric to (attempt to) make my first fabric album. I am so looking forward to cooler weather, sweaters and jeans, fabulous fall colors, chili, picking pumpkins, fall campfires, and spending time with my family. I find so much scrapbooking inspiration from fall colors. Now I just need to start taking plenty of pictures so I can get scrapping.
Thanks, Amanda Guthrie
Fall....I'm not so sure. We left our "baby" at college. It has not been my husband and I for almost 22 years. I guess fall is going to be a time for us to get to know each other again. A time to talk. A time for us. We too have two beautiful daughters. I'm not sure what this next step of my life will be like......but hope that I will learn to like and enjoy it even though my girls are not here all the time. Time will tell.
cooler temps therefore longer time relaxing on the porch/outdoors, football games, color changes in the trees and in my wardrobe (smile).. Karen Loper
I love the cool crisp air, the changing spectrum of colors, baking pumpkin bread, making yummy soups and starting handcrafted Christmas gifts.

Fall...I have to say that I am looking forward to my husband coming home from deployment.

Ahhh...fall! Always something we look forward to here. We are farmers and grow corn and soybeans so its always a busy time and we're always anxious to see how things did. We have 3 little boys that love to farm with their daddy and grandaddy so its prime time for great pictures too!
Happy Fall!

I can't wait for the chilly weather--that cold spell with the fabulous two full days of rain and thunder storms only helped to whet my appetite for the nippy fall weather, complete with sweaters and jeans and leaves and pumpkins. Bring on the fall.
Fall is my favorite time of year, the crisp mornings, harvest, football games, and pulling out my sweaters!!!
Thanks-
Kari
this Fall, I'm going to visit my family in Reunion Island (where i'm from). I haven't seen them in 18 months so it's going to be great. (of course it will summer there since it is in the other hemisphere and we only have 2 seasons in the tropics) but heck! That's my Fall anticipation.
Thanks for the giveaway. aloha, Sarah
I'm looking forward to taking our two children, ages 3 1/2 and 2, to our favorite pumpkin patch and having them stand next to the "how tall this fall" pumpkin display for an annual photo to see how they've grown since last year. They never really stand still enough to actually see how tall they really are, but that's the best part of the photo! We started taking the pics by the display since our son's first Halloween and it's something we hope to continue. And once that's done, I can't wait to scrapbook the photo(s)!
I am ready for sweaters, jeans, and boots. I love cool weather clothes!
Looking forward to:
~the crisp cool air~apple picking~pumpkin carving~big yellow school buses~leaves in brilliant earthy hues~blue jeans and sweaters~walking through crunchy leaves~halloween costumes and loads of sweet treats~cooking in the oven~open windows bringing in cool breezes
What's not to look forward to with fall?!
Teaching! It gets cool here (in Albuquerque, that's a nice refreshing change) and my students settle down and I know them all a little bit better and we get really into the work right in the middle of fall.
Emily in ABQ
We're looking forward to taking our 4 kids pumpkin picking in Grandmpa's Pumpkin Patch. My dad grows the pumpkins each year just for the grandkids & has so much fun watching them search for the perfect pumpkin.
Amy from WI
Oooooo, pick me!! This southern scrapper would love to win! (BTW..I LOVE grits!) Thanks for the chance!
The tee looks adorable!
So many things that I love about fall: Colored leaves, cool breezes, large pots of soup, wearing sweaters, watching a new season of soccer, and all of the holidays beginning with my youngest daughters September birthday!! Thanks for the introduction to the new blog - absolutely beautiful fabrics!!
I love everything about fall. I actually got married in the fall (October) and we will be celebrating our fifth anniversary this year. I guess I am anticipating: fall leaves, fall colors, fall sweaters, fall jackets, crisp fall weather, fall apple cider, fall harvest, fall breezes, fall pumpkins, fall family days, fall school days (teacher, fall pictures and fall days with my sweet kids. I love the fall.
Love the shirt...I need to try this too!
Fall...well a few times today I said the word pumpkin...i just can't wait to start seeing them at farmstands and on doorsteps.
have a good weekend!
I live in the desert, so I'm looking forward to cooler weather. And cooler weather in my family means camping trips!
I am a kindergarten teacher and am so excited about teaching them about fall and why it is called fall (because the leaves fall) and going on a nature walk with them...also, I love all of the things we eat in the fall--pumpkin cookies, ginger crinkles, pumpkin seeds, apple pie....mmmmmm!
Cinnamon, orange, red, yellow, hoodies, jeans, soup, stews, chili, crisp mornings, frost, Halloween, candy, turkey, squash....I could go on about this for hours. Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year!!!
My husband is training me so I can mountain bike with him to the top of Peavine Peak. :)
Nancy in Reno
oh if you come i will make you the greatest grits ever!
I'm anticipating fall colors and foliage, gorgeous golden autumn light for taking pictures (to scrap), season premieres of my fav TV Shows (Grey's Anatomy!), good movies (summer never seems to have much), and perfect autumn weather.
Fall.... my favorite time of the year... leaves changing colors...taking walks in the crisp cool air...cuddling by the fireplace with a good book....celebrating our wedding anniversary and my birthday....getting together with family for Thanksgiving....eating warm homemade cookies... sipping spiced cider and tea...and watching college football games!
By the way... I love your blog Lizzy... you're so creative and inspiring!
Making carmel apples with white chocolate drizzle and cinnamon sugar. SO YUM!!!!!
And living in Arizona....cooler weather!
So many things to love about Fall, but I think Halloween is my favorite. I love visiting the pumpkin patch, making costumes, buying (and eating :-) ) candy, school costume parades and parties, trick or treating, and everything else.
The shirt is adorable! I really want to make some as gifts. This fall I am looking forward to finishing up my college applications (: Your work is inspiring as always!!
I love when the weather changes for the first time, and we build a fire in the fireplace and sit around it. I love when the trees change colors, they look so gorgeous from out the windows of my house.
I don't know if I can pick just one thing. I love fall, and a main reason for that is my birthday is in October. I am also looking forward to the annual Covered Bridge Festival and some kettle corn snacking. My wedding anniversary, and the annual Halloween party that we host. Oh, I love fall so very much!
I can't wait to go to the pumpkin patch. My youngest will be walking this year and it should be a blast!
We are hoping for and indian summer here in the northwest but as far as cooler months go, I am looking forward to using lots of Sandi Henderson's fabrics in my projects also:) All the rain here in WA state makes for lots of indoor time to sew and scrap!!

I am so looking forward to the cooler temperature so that I can go outside more and get more exercise and when I go to the gym with my gym partner I won't get heat exhaustion. In the last 8 months I have gone from 348 to 277 from going to the gym 3 times a week (no joke) and walking I am up to 20 blocks a day and I am anticipating more outside time not that it is cooler. Because of my health I had to take a look at my life and rethink what I was doing to myself and my 14 year old son. I am a single mom on Disability and the only parent for my son Mathew. I suffer from many ailments Fibromyalgia and Diabetes being the 2 top concerning ones. I want to be around to enjoy my grandchildren and be able to scrapbook them and make them Quilts as well... Sorry to be so long winded but I am excited when fall comes around because for me It's a "New Beginning" for me and my son Mathew.....

I am really waiting on all the leaves turning their fall colors!! It's my most favorite part!! I've already spyed a few tree's starting!!
I love fall too, just love those beautiful colours on the changing leaves, love it when I can step on them and they let out the scrips sound. Unfortunately I only get to enjoy this while I was over in UK, now back in Malaysia, we only got summer. Wish I can have a get away somewhere will beautiful colours of leaves.
I am looking forward to pumpkins, pumpkins, and more pumpkins!!!!
I'm looking forward to lighting my pumpkin scented candle and feeling my home with the rich, spicy smell of autumn!
I can't wait for pumpkin season to start. For some reason I get really excited to scrapbook our annual pumpkin picking trip. The warm colors, cool air, the perfect combination!
I can't wait for the fall colours and the "crisp" air...and of course my birthday!!!
I'm looking forward to going apple picking with my husband and then canning applesauce and apple butter (and maybe making apple pie or apple crisp!)
I am looking forward to our annual Fall Festival and Scarecrow contest! Pumpkins,games, scarecrows, pumpkin fudge,& fantastic people
This is something that my husband and I do every year and it just keeps getting better and better:) Thanks for the fun giveaway!!
Fall means my birthday! And I'm still looking forward to that. I'm also looking forward to our weekend getaway to Philadelphia also planned for fall.
My favorite thing to do in the fall is go to a local Pumkin Farm. The family who owns the farm is deeply religious and all of the children work togther to care for their land and crops. The best part is they gave an adorable Pumpkin Train for the kids to ride around in and take them to a field to pick their very own pumpkins!
I am looking forward to picking apples and wearing sweatshirts and jeans on cool, crisp days.
Beverly
I'm looking forward to taking our annual family pictures. Its such a wonderful time for us all to be together and see all of the changes in the kids from year-to-year. I am working on "styling" the group right now....they all LOVE me for that! :o)
Can't wait to meet our new baby boy..... =)
walking on trails fresh with colorful fallen leaves and going to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch with the little one are my favs.
I'm looking forward to wearing turtleneck sweaters on crisp fall days!
I'm waiting for the beautiful fall colors to arrive
Most anticipating Halloween and my boys. Tristan (2) will be a dinosaur, and Zane (1) will be a caveman. Not sure how long they will continue to let me theme their costumes so I'm all over it now!
Love your blog.

Oh how I love fall! The crisp morning air, the crunch of fallen leaves, and a pot of yummy soup. There's nothing better.
Great giveaway girlie!!!
Fall is my FAVORITE season. I love the changing of the leaves, the cooler weather and an October sky. There's nothing like it. ;-)
I am looking forward to apple picking and decorating with pumpkins and corn stalks. My favorite are the fall leaves and playing with kids while we hunt treasures.
What I love about fall is being able to wear sweaters and scarves again!
Fall is all about sports, both professional and kid related. We can't wait for the start of the NFL football season and we attend every home game. We also highly anticipate the drive toward the World Series especially when our guys are #1. Go Rays! But there is plenty of excitement close to home with one son playing Varsity soccer and the other playing Little League. It's all about sports.
I cant wait to wake up to the crisp air. To get out all the sweaters and bundle everyone up. I have started to map out some of our fall adventures, the turning of the leaves drive, apple and pumkin picking the Harvest fairs around New England. Getting out the recipes so we use up all the apples we get. oh and then there comes Halloween. Let the picture taking begin!
Love your blog!
Thanks
Kelly
I'm looking forward to not having to cut the lawn anymore. :)
i LOVE the smells of fall... apples, cinnamon, pumpkin... and i LOVe the sounds of fall... crunching leaves, football games, and trick-or-treaters. And it's the season of my birthday!
I can't wait for jeans and sweatshirts. I love the leaves changing colors too. Fall is my favorite season!
Well, right now I'm impatiently anticipating the arrival of my baby, whose due next week!
Fall: I love the colors, the cooler temperatures, football, Halloween, my granddaughters birthday.
We'd like hurricane season to be over & I am anticipating Thanksgiving and my cousin's wedding.
Fall means that I won't be dealing with 120 degree weather everyday, my anniversary, football season, and Christmas is coming!
I am looking forward to cooler weather! I want to play outside ALL DAY in cool crisp breezes. I want to run and skip with my toddler. It is just not safe to do in 100 degree weather. The slides and weeee (swings) are hot and the sun is unbearable. We last about 20 minutes. I miss you fall...come back soon!
I am looking forward to watching the season change over to the bright, crisp colors of fall, seeing my daughter get excited about learning in preschool, making yummy warm comfort foods, watching lots of football, and sharing in all the fall fun like pumpkins, apples and fall festivals with our daughter. What a great season fall is!
I always look foward to New England autumns - apple picking, my daughter's birthday, Halloween. This year marks a really special fall for me as I make a transition into a new job at the end of October that will allow me much more time with my family - what an amazing autumn blessing!
Love Scrap Etc! I'm about 3hrs from them so I'm hoping to visit soon :)
As for fall, I love everything about it...the leaves, the colors, the smells, the sky getting dark early in the evening. I've already pulled out my pumpkin spice candle and can't wait until it's cool enough to have fires in the fireplace!
Fall, can't wait to wear my hoodies, jeans, and husbands socks, watching the leaves fall so they can be raked into a giant pile that the kids can jump and play in.
I am looking forward to the changing of the leaves and the cool crisp mornings.
I am looking forward to the changing of the leaves and the cool crisp mornings.
I just love fall - the changing colors, crisp cool air and all of the "tastes" of fall. And this year I'm really looking forward to our annual trip to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch. It's so much fun to pick our own apples (and make a crisp afterward) and watch the kids pick out their own pumpkins. Such great memories we're making.
I'm looking forward to going to the cider mill & pumpkin farm, playing in the leaves, feeling the crisp air and wearing hoodie sweatshirts. I can't wait to pick out the perfect witch costume for my 6 year old and whatever comes to my 11 year old's mind. I love to hand out candy in our neighborhood. The transition to the holidays is always a great time of year!
I look forward to the changing leaves, lots of football, Halloween, and the cool crisp sweatshirt and jeans weather.
This Fall . . .
I am looking forward to temperatures here in Arizona below 100 degrees.
I am looking forward to my classroom full of 3rd graders learnig and growing right before my very eyes.
I am looking forward to Sundays full of football.
I am looking forward to living each day to its fullest and remembering how lucky I truly am!
I'm anticipating a fun volleyball season with my kids, seeing the scene from my front windows go from green to gold......
Fall and football weather, one of my favorites. Sunny days with a cool crisp feel in the air, checking out a few craft fairs plus KETTLE CORN...yummy!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Karen~
We are expecting a new little boy this fall in our extended family. I am looking forward to tending...a lot.....I hope!

My favorite season is fall because of the colors. I love the rich, warm reds, oranges, and yellows from the leaves to pumpkins to corn stalks. I also love the smells of the apples and pumpkins in cooking and baking.
we don't have fall here. although they say the changing colors of nature is a sight to behold. :)
Oh, I love Fall! The weather, the college football, the holidays and gatherings. My favorite part, though is in October. DH and I always take a fun little weekend trip for our anniversary. I'm already looking forward to it!
I can't wait for teh air to feel cool and crisp and to take the kids to their first corn maze!
fall time means halloween is near, favorite holiday for sure!
Oh my, what a yummy giveaway! Those colors ...
Looking forward to fall ... wearing sweaters and cuddling with my soon-to-arrive first babe. Can't get any better than that!
I'm looking forward to the changing leaves and fall smells. It is my favorite season. It's even more my favorite because my boyfriend and I set the date to get married next year :: Sept 18, 2009!! I can't wait to count down the days until our vows and scrapbook all our plans!!
I'm ready for cuddling weather! :) And, of course, grabbing some great pictures to scrap with. Thanks for the inspriation Elizabeth!
Canning fruits and making jams, watching the fields at harvest, crisp, cool mornings and getting back to teaching! Oh fall! My favorite season!
Well, since I live in Arizona, I'm looking forward to a drop (even a slight one) in the temperature! :0)

I'm looking forward to eating Honeycrisp apples (I just discovered them last year -- they are so tasty!) fresh from the orchard! And, I just got a dehydrator so I'm hoping to get a ton of dried apples for the next year. Is that really possible, though? My family eats a batch almost as soon as it's out of the dryer!
I'm looking forward to hearing the laughter of my newborn this fall.
You have a lovely blog and I like your pics off to the side!
Hoodies & sweaters! A couple visits from different members of my family! Fall will get to feel like home. YAY! Happy Fall! Thanks for the chance to win!
Bianca B.
My favorite part of fall is when the temperatures turn cooler- considering I live in Texas and I can't wait to have the hig be in the 70s instead of the low 100s. Really though, I love the crisper air, going on our annual pumpkin patch trip, high school football games, apple cider and getting out my fall decorations.
Love that shirt you made!
Not really looking forward to the "chill" that we don't get here in AZ, but hoping to at least throw on a pair of jeans before Christmas!
Pumpkin scented candles really "make" Fall for me!
Love the shirt! Thanks for always sharing your rockin ideas!
What is not to love about fall? Hard to pick one thing, but pumpkins has to be my top pick! Pumpkins on the front step, kids' construction paper pumpkins, going to the pumpkin patch and picking them off the vine,carving jack-o-lanterns... justlove them!
What do I love about fall? Really, do you want to get me started?!?
Fall is my favorite season! I love the feeling of warmth and coziness, the autumn leaves, apples, warm apple cider, the cooler weather, picking pumpkins, the warm decorating colors, candles, etc. etc. etc.
I am so excited to watch my son play modified football for his school. Fall = Football!!
Karen Foster
I'm looking forward to the colorful leaves falling from the trees - and laying down on them and shooting some beautiful photos. - Then run home, make a hot tea and make some beautiful scrapbook pages from them. :) And some falls later - looking at these pages with my kids...
I am anticipating my wedding, of course! 42 days and counting! :)
so very excited about all the great colors and making a big pile of leaves with my 2 babies, and jumping and rolling in the fun filled leaves! oh and taking oodles of pics along the way! :)

I'm looking forward to the crisp cool air, the changing leaves, the apple picking and my daughters' birthday in november!

What a darling shirt!!
I am definitely anticipating the sound of the leaves rustling down the street. Something about the sound and the cool breeze welcoming fall to my doorstep!
What a great kit. I love the crisp air, apple picking and the changing leaves in the fall!

I am so excited about COOL weather..and fall flowers!!
No way! Look what happens 24 hours after I check! So I won't win, but I am so excited for fall this year. We moved from Canada in the middle of the summer to South Jordan Utah and we now have moved from two seasons to all four! I LOVE fall! The colors, the anticipation of upcoming holidays and family time, memories and pictures, scrapbooking.... The colors, smells, sights, and the nip in the air, but still great sunshiny weather! Happy Fall All!

i've waited 6 months for a scrapbooking retreat that is now only 3 weeks away. 3 days and nights with dear friends, a cabin on the lake and scrapbooking! i can hardly wait.
I'm looking forward to Halloween and dressing Damon up in something funny:) It's also fun to see what the kids come up with!
I love summer but I love the best about fall is that the kids dress up for Halloween. This year DH and I will dress up and join in the fun.
My twin 3 yr old girls start school so I am going to go get my Masters starting this fall :)
I'm looking forward to apple picking, pumpkin picking & Halloween! Can't wait!
just about everything - the colors, the crisp air, wearing sweaters and boots, halloween, thanksgiving. . .LOVE me some fall!!

I love Fall because October holds the birthdays of my 3 favorite guys - my husband and my 2 boys who will be 8 and 6!

I love fall cooking-making soups, stews and all that good warm comfort type food. But I'm most looking forward to a crop in a few weeks-as a stay at home Mom with young kids I don't get much scrapbook time especially away from the house.
We are heading into Spring here. I'm looking forward to all the flowers coming out and all the pretty colours! :)
Really looking forward to cooler weather.....like a high of 90 instead of 115. Gotta love Phoenix summers. :)
Ahh, fall. This year for me, I am not looking forward to any of the typical fall things like Halloween/Thanksgiving, the leaves etc. In the last year, I had a baby and moved across the country - almost coast to coast. I'm also getting married in exactly 3 weeks from today, in the place where I moved from. Needless to say, thi year has been a bit stressful for me.
So, I am looking forward to fall because it means no more HUGE life events to anticipate or prepare for. I can finally settle in, relax, and just enjoy my family and my wonderful new life.
I am really looking forward to the beautiful atmosphere, halloween, and my 4yr old getting dressed up to do her first ever "school halloween costume parade!" shes excited already!
I looking forward to the crisp cool air, the colors of the fall leaves, apple cider, and pumpkin patches.
I'm looking forward to being able to wear all those cute jackets I bought. It's still kinda warm here in Southern California so I'm still waiting to get the chance to wear my new "fall outfits". *wink*

This Fall I'm looking forward to Halloween with my kids... I love to help them figure out what they want to be and how to make that happen!
So many things to look forward to in fall...preschool starting again for Eli, MOPS group starting, a schedule again, the cool air, the beautiful colors, wearing sweaters...I really could go on and on. The only I don't look forward to is winter after fall. Not so fun here in Minnesota :)
In the southwest, it is about roasted green chilis (have you every smelled that...smells like fall to me) and pick'n raspberries in the mountians.

I'm anticipating a visit from my mama. I havent seen her in months and I cant wait to spend time together and catch up! We'll have good food, spend too much money and laugh together until our sides hurt.
I am looking forward to the routines that fall brings,the celebrations, the colour orange,sunny weekend afternoons that are still warm enough to wear a tshirt, the damp smell of frost,our school bus driver, teachers, volunteering at the school and even having some quiet time for me...dare I say that?
Fall--temperatures that do NOT consist of THREE digits. (I live in Houston. And I hate grits.)
Great kit!
I'm looking forward to knitting. I tend to put knitting aside in the spring and summer. I'm also looking forward to campfires and brisk weather walks outside with my husband. Of course roasted pumpkin seeds and apple cider are in there too.
Thanksgiving, hands down. I love that holiday!
I am looking forward to going with my baby nieces pumpkin picking and hayrides and warm apple donughts and jumping in a big pile of leaves with them and just taking pictures of their huge smiles and then scrapping them. Hugs Grace
To tellyou the truth... I am waiting for the ability to wear sweaters... and have cold nights in Newport... and boom fires in Huntington... then there is the Carving parties... the trick or treat in the streets that the City of Orange puts on every year...and Disneyland Halloween Time and special trick or treating they have...I just love this time of year!!! And I am anticipating all the good fun, food and decorations that come with it.
Fall. I'm looking forward to drinking espresson out on my porch in the perfect (just slightly crisp) fall morning. I live in New Mexico and fall is such a perfect season here...still warm. But gorgeous.
To me, fall means a new school year, catching up with old friends and making new ones, and learning what it means to grow up (I'm turning 20 in November). Oh, and baking and Turkey Day :-)
Fall = Football, Friends, Food and Family! I love keeping track of (and attending) college football games. Go Bucks! ..Spending time with friends, as school will be starting again for me soon. Lots of good, hearty foods... squash, pumpkin pie, cranberries.. YUM! And lots of time with family! :)
I'm looking forward to a few starry nights where there is a little nip in the air so my fiance and I can sit nice and close by a campfire........
Only 6 more weeks of camping left and this one is a washout.......
Sigh......

I will be anticipating my first fall with my daughter - going to pick out a pumpkin and dressing her up in a cute costume and handing out candy to all the neighbourhood kids.
Scrap Etc is wonderful!!! I live nearby and get to visit often!
Now to the other part of the comment . . . Fall is a time when it seems like all of my family comes back home. The vacations are over and its time for football games, comfy foods and family gatherings.
The cool weather and beautiful colors! And college football and playoff baseball (maybe this will be the cubs year!! ;) ~Mary S.
