HAPPY MANDALA MONDAY
this was made with flowers from my neighbor, so thoughtful she is to share
I'm joining our wonderful very busy painting hostess Elizabeth for T stands for Tuesday. Notice the fall in my picture and in my mug. Remember I bought this orange mug last fall, it was time to pull it out again. We've had very cold temps here, needed jeans and jackets several days. To warm me up I bought my first jug of cider and a donut to go along with it. Love donuts and warm cider together! Also, sharing my cute tiny mini pumpkin, I keep it by me on the table beside me and smile when I see it. I'm sure there will be more cider photos to share these next few months, YAY!! Thank you Elizabeth for hosting us and making us always feel welcome.
I'm so excited about these zentangle ATCs from a swap!! Love them! Hoping to do more of these, it was hard and took a long time but so neat to see them afterwards. It was a small swap which helped too. I'll be working on a Halloween theme one next and my Fall ones should get here later this week.
More fall fun to share with you
Thank you so much for the visits and comments last week. I'm glad some of you liked Summer's doll, Tiffany. She has just given her a perm this week and is looking totally different.
I have shared some Project Life pages below if you'd like to take a look. So glad to be catching up and hoping to do better at that now that summer is over. The sun is out and feels warmer already today. Have a great week, will be around today to see what's in your cup!

Lovely fall colors! I think I have a mug just like yours :) Great for this season.
ReplyDeleteaaah yes, our weather is changing too...I do love the rich warm colors of fall, and enjoying some comfort foods. Pretty mandala. Love those zentangle ATCs! Sounds like you are continuing to enjoy making and swapping ATCs of all kinds. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteDawn, this is gorgeous, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE some of that Fall like weather! Gorgeous ATC's! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteBeautiful autumnal art here .. Oh I would love to have donuts and warm cider with you today - though we have sunshine today we feel the autumn .. I love autum too - but it is a early departure of summer - a summer what was not a really summer here this year- lol!
ReplyDeleteIt is NOT autumn where I live. Yesterday was 89 degrees F and that is not autumn. No rain to cool things down, although the weather person tells us cooler temps are on the way. Even Bleubeard is feeling the heat.
ReplyDeleteLove all your autumn art and the mandala you made. That zentangle swap must have been something. My hand starts to cramp when I even THINK about doing another one of these. One was enough for me.
Thank you for sharing your autumn cup, donut, and cider with us for T this week.
Oh how I love, love, love warm cider and cider donuts. It's the perfect fall combination. Of course, even better when drank in the crisp air and a great blanket wrapped around you! Thanks for sharing and now I'm hankering for one myself! Happy T-day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful mandala Dawn!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your change of seasons with your beautiful warm colors and treats...
change is in the air and it is lovely.
Wishing you and yours a Happy T Day

Hi Dawn, thanks for visiting my blog this week.
ReplyDeleteWarm cider is a favorite "cold" weather drink of mine, but I am beginning to wonder if I'll ever get to drink it again.......104' predicted for today.....ugh!
Love all your autumn art and colors. The tangles you received are wonderful. They are so much fun to do and relaxing too.
Have a super, wonderful week!
Nothing says fall like cider and donuts...or in our area cider donuts! Your mug and all the little pumpkins put one in the Autumn spirit. I loved the mandala you made.
ReplyDeleteThat doughnut is taken away all of my attention from that cup!
ReplyDeleteBeen colder here, too, off and on. The little baby pumpkins are always so cute. Happy T-Day! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the Mandala and the fabulous colour on those leaves! Having a bit of unusual warm Autumn time here in UK. Chris
ReplyDeleteVery Fall like temps here too. Jeans and sweaters for sure. I had wanted my mittens briefly over the weekend when we were hiking along a river. Chilly!
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day!
ReplyDeleteFall temps? Well Fall temps are 100 degrees for us. It's be so super hot in the last week!
Love those zentangle ATCs. I love to doodle patterns as well. Oh and that mandala is just lovely. Never done a mandala with live objects. Maybe I should try one of these days.
a beautiful flower mandala, and always love me some pumpkins...no matter how small! yes, I am feeling cold here too and probably won't feel warm again until next May. Unless we get an 'Indian Summer' sometime soon...I do love Fall and the colorful foliage. And the upside to the first frost is less pollen! Gorgeous atc's too by the way. Would you like to trade a Fall or Halloween atc with me, just one for one?
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn! I absolutely love your gorgeous mandala, and the fact that your neighbor gave you the beautiful flowers makes it all the more special! And your photos of fall examples are wonderful. I cannot wait to get some cider and warm it up and flavor it with cinamon!! YUM! I have to get out my fall mugs now. You have inspired me to do that this weekend. It is also time to do some fall decorating around here, too! I hope you have a wonderful weekend, my dear friend! Take care!!! Thanks for your wonderful visit to my blog and for this happy post.
ReplyDeleteGood to see lots of fall colors, they are all so beautiful. Thanks for stopping by my blog, glad to know that your week went well.
ReplyDeletePapi is 14 months old now.
We are having nice weather here as well, 90s, can't complain!
