Simply Simple September comes to a close today - My last little bit of simplicity is APPRECIATE ENDINGS.
Why?
Endings lead to new beginnings.
As these flowers hit my desk this morning, they came with the comment that "this is the last of them."
I have loved every single tiny mixed bouquet all spring and summer.
I have shared many of them on facebook and instagram.
I will miss them. But I appreciate every one of them (and the fact that the original bed was planted with the plan to share them with me). And I appreciate that October and the Fall season bring new types of beauty.
And opportunity for new beginnings.
As part of trying to post pretties and inspiration more often here, I'll be doing another series in October.
I've a list of words to choose from ---- I've decided to make and post a tag creation for every day in October.
By tags, I mean gift tags. Sarah Lugg art type tags. Tags that after I get them all made, I hope will have meaning. Tags that I hope will continue to spur on my creative muse. But here is the clencher ----- 100% stash created tags.
I'll be punching 31 same sized ones tonight from cardstock in the scrap boxes. Then on Tuesday the October 1, I'll start the making ---- (there are a few road trips this month - but I'll make a little box of supplies just for those)
I do hope some of you will play around -- Just like the September Project - I'll post here - facebook and instagram ----
Here's the instagram fun part....... I'm using a play on the word hashtag for my hashtag.
All of these will fall under #stashtags (stash busting tags)
Now for a super long list of words to choose from (my choices are in all caps)
Again there are no rules --- it's just for fun - and to spur creative energy. I have NO IDEA what mine will look like -- I'll just respond everyday. I do know that my word will be a part of the creation.
Please play along --- it will be fun. --- choose your words from the list or add your own.
But please leave your link info in a comment and let us know where to find your fun stuff.
Have a great.

I randomly selected my words and as I was typing this list, I kinda wished I had made deliberate decisions about some of these. Oh well - the muse obviously wants to play. Now to decide which one is first. I may put them in a hat and draw them out for my "random order" list.
Come on friends - choose - create --- share.

October 1 - PEACE
