    Hi Michele!
    I never tire of your tutorials! Just so amazing! I keep wondering where you get your inspiration!
    My favorite thing about fall is the weather, and the lovely leaves turning. I have been all over the United States in the falls of my life, and when the trees turn those beautiful colors, I am always amazed!
    In Colorado the Aspens make a lovely sound when their leaves turn crisp and the wind blows through them. Along with the wind through the pines and the firs, it is just wonderful to experience. The hues and colors are glorious!
    In Iowa, the Mighty Oaks really turn the most awesome colors! I love the oranges and reds of the oaks as they turn!
    In Arkansas, the desiduous trees of the Ozarks always amaze me by their turning colors.
    Now in Missouri, the northern part of the Ozarks are always the most beautiful. Fall is my favorite season. The weather is so nice, hiking is the best, and the outdoors is the best place to be when the fall season is in full swing!

    I live at 6500 feet so we lack ithe gorgeous fall colors I remember from my childhood in the midwest. But autumn brings lots of wildlife and the end of the summer vacation season in the Rockies. I love the peace and quiet.

    Fall is my favorite season!! These are just some of the things I love about it……the colors, fresh apples, getting out those sweaters & sweatshirts you forgot you got on sale last spring, harvest of crops, & things slowing down so I have extra time to stamp!!!

    Oh Michelle,

    Your blog candy is grand, and I sooo love leaf stamps and one of my favorite things about autumn is the turning of the leaves. But really more than that, I love the Thanksgiving holiday, it has remained traditional and focused on our blessings, centered on a thankful spirit, family, and great food. Thanks for the opportunity and your kind generosity. Safe travels!

    Here where I am in New Zealand we do not get the colours that many of you see, but we still get loads of leaves, and I love scuffing through them when they heap up – even though I am the ‘wrong side’ of 50 :-).

    I love what colours we do get, and I love stamping with leaf stamps as they are so versitile!

    Thanks for the chance of some blog candy – again.

    My favorite thing about autumn is the changing fall colors on the trees and shrubs; and making apple crisp, and brewing pumpkin spice coffee, and eating caramel treats, and decorating the house in fall decor and orange lighted leaf garlands, and Thanksgiving, and…..the chance to win this great set. Hope I win. Thanks for the opportunity, Michelle! And oh, did I mention how ‘jealous’ I am that you are going to Savannah for a brayer workshop? 🙂 Let us all know about Savannah and if you run into Paula or the boys 🙂

    I love autumn for the bright blue sky. The crisp air. The color of the leaves and harvest. Pumkin, apple picking. To be thankful for all that nature gives us. I feel a bit nostalgic when I see the geese going south. We have had a beautiful fall up to now.
    Thank for this blog candy and the chance of winning!

    Autumn… oh what a season!! Nature shows us all her colors on the trees, the under growth, the weeds…. Beautiful. Then it all goes to sleep in all it’s barreness, only to re-awaken in the spring to go thru the process again. There is nothing to compare to living in areas where you can experience this wonder. The sky also is so different in the fall. Love, love, love the seasons, especially fall. We try to create this in our card crafts. Sometimes we think we are close, but ??
    Thanks for the chance to win this set from stampin up! Blessings, Victoria

    I have 2 acreas that I purposely plant for the fall colors. So I have every color you can imagine side by side. I look forward each fall to the banquet of colors that I can take pictures of. I also love knowing that after fall, there is a quiet time that I can use to catch up on my scrapbooking and other hobbies. I love your site and your projects. Thanks for sharing!

    Autumn is my most favorite season. I love everything about it! The cool crisp air, the local farmer’s fair & parade, the pumpkins, falling leaves, corn shocks, Indian corn, squash, Thanksgiving Day, the wonderful warm colors, the decorating, hot chocolate, cappuccino, pumpkin recipes, caramel apples, apple pies, you name it — what isn’t there to love about Autumn? I could live with the temperatures year round!
    Thanks for a chance to win the stamp set — it is one I have wished I would have.

    Fall time is such a great season to look forward to. It is the ending of Summer and usually getting ready for Thanksgiving and after that we always know Christmas is right behind it. I look forward to seeing all my family during Thanksgiving and sharing good food, fellowship and memories. Thanks so much for giving us this chance to win the stamp set. It’s lovely.

    Autumn is the most colorful time of the year. It’s as if Nature is putting on one last glorious show before the long winter’s sleep. My favorite holiday, Halloween (which is also my wedding anniversary) takes place in the fall. It is the signal that the holdays are upon us and the annual gathering of family and friends will soon take place. What’s not to love about Autumn.

    being able to kick the falling leaves up in the wind and watch them fall back to the ground just so I can do it again. This blog candy just reminds me of the falling leaves that are so beautiful in color and falling.

    My favorite things about autumn? The cool, clear, crisp air. The bright blue skies contrasting with the colorful leaves, the sound of leaves as you walk through them, even the smell in the air. My least favorite thing ~ cold, damp, dismal days that lead to winter! Love this set. Thanks for the chance.

    Living in Northern Ontario, Canada, we experience all the seasons to the max, and fall is the best time – right in between mowng the lawn and shoveling snow, lots of snow! Raking leaves is a breeze!

    Favorite thing about fall??? Well, let’s see… it is my birthday season for one thing. As a child I always looked forward to that. I love leaves: their colors, falling to the ground waiting to be raked, how they smell when burning, walking through them to hear their rustling. Oh, yes, watching kids having fun jumping into a huge pile of raked leaves. Brings back good memories. Mitzi

    My favorite thing about autumn is the way the air smells. It is a mix of leftover summer and oncoming winter. Here in the south, we get to experience it a little longer than most. Lucky me!

    I love the way the wind smells on a sunny day when the leaves are beginning to fall. Sitting in front of a fire sipping cocoa and reading a book is also a favorite fall thing to do as well. Thank you for all that you do for us.

    Hey Michelle!
    Had a blast at your workshop today! Thanks for your time and sharing of your wonderful talent!
    My favorite thing about autumn is the changing of the leaves – I am so blessed to live in the beautiful state of Michigan where the natural beauty is always changing with the seasons – Fall is my favorite – all the beautiful colors – like the big colorful ball before the cool blues of winter.
    Have a safe trip home!
    Thanks Again!

    My favorite thing in autumn is the gorgeous colors of the leaves. My second favorite is the briskness in the air and the change in temperature so I know I can start a wood fire soon.
    This is a really nice set of stamps and great gift.

    I’m all for the leaves turning all kinds of wonderful colors. But my favorite thing is the smells! Yes from the wood stoves keeping us warm, to the coffee or hot cocoa you might want to drink. Having that chill in the morning air just so you can throw another log on the fire.

    It’s hard for me to choose one thing that I love about autumn, it’s my favorite season. I guess for me it would be the cooler temps and changing leaves. I know it’s a little let down when all the leaves fall, but then I enjoy the cool eveings snuggled with my honey.
