Crafty Fall Fun

IMG_2590I finally got a chance to put together an autumn wreath this weekend. Made it using a 24" grapevine wreath, an assortment of fall flowers/leaves, and a trusty hot glue gun. It was a little difficult keeping the cats away during construction (they love to nibble on any plant-like material be it real or fake). And I only suffered one slight burn from the glue gun - oops. I think I now have a wreath for each season.

Race to the Finish!

IMG_2583 While Mom and Dad were visiting the other weekend, we decided to enter the 5K walk in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, in downtown Phoenix. It was a huge event - over 30K people! It was a lot of fun, and the weather was very nice, if not a little warm. We treated ourselves to breakfast at Chompie's afterwards - as it turns out, so did many other race-goers :)
