greeting cards- "Fall Collection"

remember this post?

ive been putting together some photos for a "fall collection" of greeting cards.

these (7) images below are the candidates for the pack.

(i know...its a little late to be putting together a fall package.)

im thinking that each pack will come with 10 cards total. (5 images with 2 copies of each.) which means that 2 of these guys up there wont be included in the printing process...any voters??

more info coming with many more collections! :)

Oak Glen

a few years ago, Darren and I went with my family to Oak Glen in Yucaipa. I fell in love with it! The trees are beautiful. its as close as california gets to "seasonal." We decided it was time for a return visit.

candy time. this place had the

best.

fudge.

and finally, if you asked both of us what we would say you just had to leave with, if nothing else?.....this is what we'd tell you:

him: apple donuts.

her: the cider. really. its that good!
