Hello, welcome at Allsorts Challenge, our theme for the next week is "Autum Trees, Leaves or Berries" or just pick the Anything goes option.
 
Our trees are mostly yellow, some beautifully red and orange. In my DT Card I used stamped image about leafless trees. I have had it some time and don't even remember is it my own stamp or have I stamped it in some craft meetings. Could it be Penny Black's? Anyway it's been coloured with Gelatos.

Fallen leaves are die cuts and sentiment stamp says "You are wonderful just how you are".
We are still under flu, one hardy one!

Last week we visited this huge tower at Aulanko, Hämeenlinna, just one hour trip from our cottage.
Never been there earlier! Imagine, I climbed up to the top, 33 meters, it's up in a big hill and the view is so beautiful to the lakeside. It's a fabulous outdoors place, so much to do and see around.
The area and tower was built late 1800's to 1926.

Terveisiä "pohjoisen" reissulta, teimme pikamatkan Ouluun ja Kuusamoon. Säät vaihteli kovasti aurinkoisesta sumuiseen ja sateiseen kotimatkaan. Poikkesimme mennessä myös Tuuriin ja yllätyin miten vähän siellä oli askartelutarvikkeita, viimeksi oli enemmän. No kaikkea muuta kyllä löytyi! Oulusta menimme sumussa Iso-Syötteelle ja Pikku-Syötteelle, mutta eihän siellä mitään näkynyt!
Paitsi poroja, niitä oli ihan valkoisista melkein mustiin, pääosin harmaita. Siinäpä inspiraatiota joulukortteihin!

Greetings from our short Lappland holiday! Here's some inspirational photos for Christmas cards!

Lots of Santa's helpers by the roads and sometime on the road, not any hurry!

Shopping Center at Tuuri, it means Luck! Horse shoes everywhere. Everything is big and gold, like in Dubai. But I didn't find much crafting goods there anymore. Ok, I have enough...
