Cozy Autumn Mornings + A Special Thank You

Cozy Autumn Mornings + A Special Thank You

The mornings have turned chilly here — just 37° yesterday — and I can feel autumn wrapping itself around our days. With a hot cup of coffee in hand, I spent the morning opening a couple of swap packages from my junk journaling partners, filming a little video, and diving into a new Halloween project that I’ll be sharing very soon.

I love how the season invites us to slow down, layer cozy touches, and spend time creating. 🍂

This weekend will be a mix of creative and home life:

Running errands for fall and winter prep

Closing up the garden and finishing outdoor chores

Catching up on indoor fall decorating (I’m behind this year!)
