Today is going to be another hot one in Dallas but we are expecting to have a cold front by Friday! 

I can't tell you happy that makes me.  Just the thought of wearing a sweatshirt, a big cup of hot chocolate warming my hands, feeling the crisp air on my face, I'm so ready!

Are you one of the lucky ones who's already experiencing wonderful fall/crisp weather?  Lucky You...I can't wait to be lucky too!

 I'm expanding my link list, let me know if you have a blog. 

Onto today's cards...

It's easy to see
how postcards and stamps
can be so lovely.
Art, humor, whatever you like
there's always a postcard that's just right.
