4. Fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving Card Making
I love my leaf punch... I can always think of so many fun designs for cards and tags for gifts.
I never thought I would enjoy paper crafts until a good friend (Kristen) forced it on me! I don't know why, but it seems like I throw more parties in the Fall, and I give more gifts. It's just a very fun time of year to think of giving and spending time with friends and family.
5. Apple Orchards and Pumpkin Patches
Lots to choose from on the east coast. We visited this one last weekend, called Applewood Orchard. Evy preferred to pick the apples off of the ground, rather than off of the tree, but it was still a lot of fun.
