This was fun and relaxing. These trees make me happy. This is another Andrea Nelson Art Project.

Adult Arts and Crafts - Watercolor Fall Scene

 

This is another Andrea Nelson Art Project. I treated myself to a #8 round watercolor brush.  It was a big splurge at 4.99 from Hobby Lobby.  It makes a difference though. I did two paintings. It is a good creative exercise. 

Pumpkin Shelfie

Nope not ready to transform my dining room to Christmas.  I have these pumpkins on top of my China Cabinet.  The clock was my Grandma Marvel's. 

I also have fall on my kitchen sink display. I have my little November girl.  I think I got her from my Aunt Sharon a thousand years ago.

Adult Arts and Crafts- Scrape Ghosts

 

I started with this ghost scrape project and then Andrea Nelson upped the project. Similar to the cat scrape project

I loved the finished product.  

White Sands National Park

 

After we visited Pistachioland.  We decided to head to White Sands National Park.  It was pretty warm, so we did the dune drive.  In one of the pull outs, we noticed a work vehicle from my husband's work.  It was weird to see it in a National Park.  So, he went to talk to the person in the vehicle.  It turns out they don't know each other but know other people - less than 6 degrees of separation.

It was a good day.

Influenced by a Billboard

 There are a few billboards in our county and surrounding county that advertise "the largest pistachio nut" or pistachio ice cream etc.. Frequently when I traveled without my oldest son, he would ask if I saw the world's largest pistachio. It has been quite a running joke in our family. We decided to have an adventure and go see the world's largest pistachio.   The world's largest pistachio is a 2-hour drive from our house to Alamogordo, NM. We visited McGinn's Pistachio Tree Ranch or Pistachioland.

They have a cute store with many pistachios and curios.  We did not take a tour of the farm, but we did have pistachios, pistachio ice cream, and pistachio fudge.  We covered all the food groups. My oldest was disappointed but my youngest said it exceeded his expectations.  

Billboards are the original influencers!

Adult Arts and Crafts - Fall Watercolor Trees

 

Another Andrea Nelson Art Project.  I did a couple of these. They turned out okay. I had trouble with the masking tape sticking to paper.

Fall Bucket List

 

I enjoyed my adult summer bucket list.  I thought I would give fall a shot too. I did put grow grass on there and I realized that isn't really bucket list idea, but it is something I would like to accomplish this fall.
