Two Old Crows Live Here

It's beginning to look and feel a little like fall at Applejack Lane.  So I changed out the door decor with my sunflowers.  It reminds me that  two old crows really do live here.  This door pocket just makes me smile!  It's one of my favorite pre-fall things.

I am joining A Few of My Favorite Things Saturday at Bargain Hunting with Laurie.  Thanks for stopping in at Applejack Lane.

Rooster Party II

Rise and shine! I'm joining in with the Rooster Party II hosted by Barb at Bella Vista.  This has been a most anticipated event so here are some of Applejack Lane's favorites.

Happy Birthday, Stuart!

Today is a red letter date on the family calendar. It's Stuart's fourth birthday!  Stuart was named after my dad, my brother, and his mom.  He is quite a character.  He enjoys trains, swimming, golf, reading books, and taking care of his baby sister Emma.  He plans a pizza lunch with his mom and dad today followed by a round of miniature golf.. Saturday, he will have a pool party with his friends, and he will have a family birthday affair on Sunday.  And, yes, Stuart, Aunt Joan will come to your birthday party!!!

Pretty Packages Party

Happy August from Applejack Lane!  Today I am joining Jami at The Blackberry Vine for a Pretty Packages Party. When I started wrapping, I realized that I love green.  Take a look at a few packages I've recently done.
One thing you must know is that I cheat.  I own a Hallmark shop, and I am showing off some new papers and trims...

Three dimensional trims were used on this birthday package...

Now, this is a practical wrap for a Virginia wine that I recently gave to a friend...

I know the apple is upside down on the finished presentation, but it still works, and the friend could use the wrap...

Thanks for visiting Applejack Lane!
