Amazing Paper Grace

Hello Becca. Firstly, please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Ben. My heart goes out to you and your family. I have been away quite a lot over the last two months and so was very saddened to hear the tragic news. It’s so lovely that you have your mom with you to share some precious time together – cherish and enjoy your time in each other’s company. As for today’s card, it is absolutely gorgeous! Take care of yourself Becca. Love Doreen R from Bournemouth UKReplyCancel

Lovely card and sentiment. Where did the image come from?ReplyCancel

Becca, Hugs to your mother from me. Sympathy to all of you for the rising into Heaven of Bruce.
Thank for the beauty of your cards.ReplyCancel

FOr me, it’s the first colors in the leaves that make me feel it is truly fall! Love traveling to Gatlinburg and seeing all the trees. I love the changing of the seasons, but going from summer to fall isn’t of my favorites!
Love your card today. It’s so quaint and elegant!
Hugs, PatReplyCancel

Hi Becca, how true the words are on this beautiful card.
A lovely memory of the season is being brought up in a village in Wiltshire where you learn to appreciate the great outdoors, picking sloe berries for mum to make sloe gin, collecting fallen leaves, conkers and beech nuts for school projects. Happy days. xxReplyCancel

Morning Becca and how wonderful that you were able to bring your Mother home with you, Enjoy the morning coffee on the verandah with your pyjamas and your Mum, you never know how long you have her for.
My best memory of fall is when we travelled to America and saw all the lovely fall colours, We do not have a lot of Fall here in Queensland. too tropical for that.
Hugs Trish.ReplyCancel

Beautiful card Becca, and I love the image you have framed :-).
We do not have Thanksgiving or halloween to associate with Autumn, but I must say I do appreciate the cooler temperatures, rain if we have had a drought, and the colour of the leaves.
Blessings

Hiking, hiking, hiking…I remember always hiking during the beautiful season of fall with the leaves changing…we still are hiking, hiking, hiking!ReplyCancel

Lovely card, Becca, and such a timely sentiment. G45 usually shouts out to me; I can see it from miles away. You are so blessed to have your mama with you, especially at this time. Please savor every moment and each sip of coffee.ReplyCancel

beautiful card! I love the cooler temps, but not cold, lol and the color of the leaves.ReplyCancel

I love everything about this card and the saying is so sweet and true. My fond memories of fall is the time I spend with my children and dog running and rolling in the leaves after we raked them into a big pile. What fun days they were.ReplyCancel

Fall is the change in color of the leaves. I love walking in the woods this time of the leaves and can’t resist picking up the beautiful fallen leaves. ChristineReplyCancel

this is such a beautiful card, Becca. and the sentiment is divine.
a cherished memory is taking pictures of my kids in a pile of leaves and later enclosing it in a Christmas card.ReplyCancel

Gorgeous card! For me fall means the upcoming holidays, rides in the woods with my family drinking hot cocoa and eating snickers that we left on top of cocoa that is melting all over my hands.ReplyCancel

What a lovely card! And the sentiment is so appropriate. You’ve showcased it beautifully here.
My cherished routine in fall is to take a vacation at Elkins Resort on Priest Lake in northern Idaho. We go every October. The dogs run around like nuts down at the water and romp through the leaves on the trails. The air is crisp, the sky so blue it hurts your eyes! I’d better stop, or I’ll keep writing about the wonderful times we’ve had year after year.ReplyCancel

How lucky are we to have our mothers with us. I love my mother to the ends of the earth, I wish I could be with her to share each morning cup of coffee, but she is very happy at her home and I cherish the time we do get to spend together.

I would love to send this card to her it says so muchReplyCancel

A cherished memory in fall for me is one from my adulthood. I was invited to attend a Brunswick Stew cooking at my brother-in-law’s parent’s home. They made one day, a year, of cooking their Brunswick Stew. It was a very “cool” day in the fall under century old red oak trees in the yard where an enormous black iron pot was set up for cooking the stew. This black pot at one time had been used for “cooking” laundry! No regular spoon would do for stirring the stew due to the depth and width of the pot. We used a wooden “boat” paddle. Hot hickory wood coals were ready to heat the pot from underneath. Precooked beef, chicken, pork, tomatoes, butter beans, potatoes, onions, creamed corn, meat stock and a few spices when into the pot. Stir, stir, stir. We all got to stir. Reminded me of witches hovering around a black pot on Halloween! The warmth of the fire was comforting on this fall day. At last, the stew was done. It was time to taste Ms Margaret’s recipe. Each of us was given one dinner spoon for one dip of this mix-mash of bubbling goodness. The instruction was to “take care of your spoon”. Well, I was not turning in my spoon to be washed for I wanted more of this red stew! So, later when the spoons were being retrieved, I pulled my spoon out from my pant’s pocket. You see, I was taking care of my spoon! Everyone got a hardy laugh from my act of caring for my spoon. I guess no one had ever done that before. A sweet memory. Becca, your card is lovely. The sentiment is so priceless. Amen. Thanks for sharing.ReplyCancel

Becca, as always the card is just lovely. My favorite time of year is fall. I think I get this from my dear mother. We lived in So Ca while I grew up. She grew up in Wisconsin. They have 4 seasons there! She always said fall was the best! Here in AR fall is great, no longer hot and no cold yet. We have lots of colors to see when the leaves change. We always go driving to have a better look, but have so much just in our back yard. The Lord has blessed us all! Blessings, LisaReplyCancel

What a lovely card! For me it the changing colors of the trees, the cold crisp air that remind me that winter is right around the corner. I love winter and snow!! Loves to you BeccaReplyCancel

I’m so sorry I didn’t realize Ben had passed. I am praying for you and your family. I’m truly sorry for your loss. I know God is your strength and comfort.

Your card is just stunning. I love everything about it. Today, I received my newest dies in the mail! My much longed for “Cinch and Go Flowers” and “Flourished Frames”. I’m anxious to begin playing with them.

Bless you, Becca, and enjoy your precious time with your Mom.ReplyCancel

Taking pictures of the fall coloring! Then making cards with the photos
Paper Hugs,

Enjoy your special time with your Mama.
During Autumn I enjoy roasting green chile and stocking the freezer. There is nothing like the chile in the Mesilla Valley. Delicious!ReplyCancel

For me it is snuggling under a handmade afghan (Made by me) with a warm cup of homemade Hot Chocolate with lots of mini marshmallows while gazing at the changing leaves through my window.

This card is so beautiful and the sentiment so true. I love the bow and the pearl pin. Do you make your own pins? Or do you buy them premade? I would love to make my own someday.

Still praying for you ya’ll {{{hugz}}}ReplyCancel

Great Card.
Enjoy time with your MomReplyCancel

So sorry for your loss. It must be terribly hard what you and your family went through. My prayers are with you all.
A fun thing we do in the fall is to gather acorns with our grandchildren. Recently it was 2 seven year old, a four year old and a 20month old. It is such fun watching them. Of course they have to look under all the bushes for “treasures”. The latest was a small gin bottle that they put berries in and topped with an acorn cap. They were so proud of that. Their imagination is worth it’s weight in gold.
Have a peaceful season.ReplyCancel

Beautiful and perfect! I love Fall and all it offers! The colors & the weather. It’s my special time of year! I get to enjoy camping and walking and campfires!ReplyCancel

Another work of art. So beautiful. I live in California so we
don’t get a lot of the color changing in the trees, but there are a few and I so enjoy seeing them each day in a different color scheme. The smell of the pumpkin pies cooking is wonderful. Enjoy your coffee with your Mom what a wonderful memory you will have forever. So miss my Mom.ReplyCancel

Wow! I wish we had something we could call ‘fall’, but here where I live in Africa the seasons kind of move straight from winter into summer. This time of year is busy as we have our summer hols in December & everything is closing down for that. But do look forward to the rest time. Lovely card xxReplyCancel

You card is beautiful & I love that sentiment. I have used it a few times myself.
I am so sorry about your loss & pray that God will comfort you. Enjoy your Mom’s visit. I wish I could sit & enjoy a cup of coffee with mine again.
I enjoy the smells of fall. I live on a farm in NE Iowa & there is always something interesting (& sometimes not so nice) to smell. My favorite is the fragrance of the evergreen trees as I walk to the mailbox.

Gorgeous card! I look forward to fall is because the migrating birds are stopping by our yard on their way south. Today the Varied Thrushes are scratching around in the oak leaves looking for food.ReplyCancel

Such an elegant and romantic card, Becca, and a wonderful sentiment!
I don’t have special routines being associated with fall, but a good memory from a couple of years back in time;
We went to the US to visit our daughter who was studying there,
and drove by car from the West to the East coast.
A fantastic journey; all the wonderful people we met, the beautiful landscape and the colors of the trees and landscape – becoming more and more brilliant the further east we went!
I have never seen colors like that.
Becca, you really live in a beautiful country with the landscape changing from state to state, just amazing :))ReplyCancel

Hello Becca,
Another beautiful card from you.
My favourite autumn memory is, as a child walking through the fallen leaves in the orchard and kicking them up into the air.

Yay for your mom being there with you!! I’m sure you will treasure this time with her!

Fall always brings back cherished memories of my mom, in heaven now for 3 years-3 months now. The Monarch butterflies migrate though our part of Texas every year in October around the time of her birthday. We would always call each other when we first saw one, and now that she’s been gone, I always think of them as butterflies from heaven. This October I saw the first one on the afternoon of the day before what would’ve been her 81st birthday!

We had many cherished times when my sister and I would take her to Canton (if you’re from Texas you know what a fun time it is) for her birthday and have a grand time shopping and laughing!! So thankful for these fun times we had with her!ReplyCancel
