Hello, Autumn! Blog Party and Giveaway *Week 2!*

Happy fall my dear friends!  Have you enjoyed your official first week of autumn?  (I'm looking forward to the weather changing- I'm dreaming of the day that the outside temperature gets lower than 85 degrees!)

I hope you entered last week's giveaway! It's still going if you have not...

I'm so grateful that God made the earth to have seasons...  changes in the atmosphere- cool weather, lighting, colors, smells...  God created variety- yes, the "spice of life".  :)

Well, I promised you a new topic this week and here it is:

 

Do you have some favorite fall recipes?  Something that has to do with pumpkin or apples and of course- cinnamon?

Well here are some that I found that look yummy:

 

Crunchy Caramel Apple Pie

 

Melt-in-Your-Mouth Pumpkin Cookies

Coconut-Pumpkin Soup

(my dad has been begging for this :)  )

Marbled Chocolate-Pumpkin Brownies

 

Maple Pumpkin Custard

 

and for those of us just trying to get into the season but it seems that the weather has some catching up to do...

Cranberry Ice-Cream Pie

 

All right- now for this week's giveaway.  I figured it would be nice to have something that goes with this week's topic:

 

Nope.  Not cupcakes- well- not it the sense you're thinking.

Pumpkin Spice Cupcake Soap
