Hi, Creative Friends-
It’s that time of year when the greatest of all fruits arrives in markets everywhere, beautiful apples! With a wide array of crunchy, sweet, and sometimes sour characteristics, apples make a great canvas for creating and making autumn beautiful.
Ultimate Apple: If temperatures are still riding high this fall, try creating my award-winning apple-inspired milkshake! The Ultimate Apple Pie Milkshake celebrates autumn’s most delicious and perfect apple, the Honeycrisp. If the weather has turned cold, try this recipe from King Arthur “Apple Cider Caramels.” Pairing this caramel with fresh crunchy apples would put make any afternoon happy.
DIY Happy: Apples are a great way to great creativity in the kitchen but are also the perfect tool to make a happy DIY project. Try this tutorial by Creative Live “DIY Apple Stamps.” Gather a few supplies like this acrylic paint, watercolor cards, and ink pen, and spend an evening creating joy and saying hello to Autumn with fabulous DIY greeting cards.
Mantel Magic: The Autumn shift always whispers for us to light up the pumpkin spice candles, clip a few Ginko branches and decorate the fall mantel with the crispness of the first fall frost. To make our mantels magical, we can look for inspiration at Good House Keeping. They bring us “30 Chic Mantel Decor Ideas To Celebrate The Fall Season.” Add a beautiful bowl of Pink Lady or Gala apples or this lovely Happy Apples Art Print from Society 6 and let the mantel swoon this September and let creativity bring happiness to Autumn!
Drop me a message and let me know what you are working on or how are you creating with apples.

Hi, Creative Friends-
It’s September! It isn’t officially autumn but it IS time to get ready for days brimming with magical warm greetings, making with dashes of cinnamon, and curling up in a warm sweater to do something thougtful. That’s why…
Greetings For Fall Y’all: Greeting a new season in a new way, whether it’s mentally taking a moment to celebrate the switch from one season to the next or by purchasing something beautiful to celebrate a new beginning can inspire happiness! Try framing and placing this “Happy Fall Y’all” art print on a mantel or display it on a door. A simple act can spread and help celebrate the autumn shift in such a big way!
Delicious To The Core: In last week’s newsletter, I shared a secret recipe: The Ultimate Apple Pie Milkshake which uses autumn’s most delicious and perfect apple, the Honeycrisp, to make the most divinely, decadent milkshake. You can find the recipe again here but if learning something new this fall sounds like a good way to create happiness, try Molly Wilk’s virtual french baking class “Tarte Tatin” class. In the class, we will learn how to make a true French classic – Tarte Tatin, an upside-down apple cake!
Fall Into Sketching: The longer days can bring us indoors and we might find ourselves looking for something other than Netflix to keep our brains happy. Try this Skillshare class “Illustrated Journaling” by the very talented Dylan Mierzwinski. I’ve been taking the class and it’s a super fun way to relax and get creative everyday! If you are new to sketching and need a good set of supplies to make sketching satisfying and happy, here are my personal favorites: markers, pens, and a notebook/sketchbook.
Drop me a message and let me know what you are working on or what you will do to make the start of fall happy.
