chocolate chip cookie comfort...

I'm a comfort seeker....and I have my favorite things that bring me that sense of....ahhhh, all is well...you can do it....we'll get through it...tomorrow is a new day....things like a cold Coke....I wish I didn't love it so...Enya...a comfy quilt....a house full of people I love all tucked in and safe for the night...and warm, gooey cookies.

 
Today was one of those days....too much on my mind...a list that never-ends...unsettled matters here and there....does my day sound similar to yours ;)  That is one thing that brings me comfort...I know I'm not alone...anyway....as soon as my little one was home from school today, I knew what I needed...what we needed...warm, homemade chocolate chip cookies...I didn't want to make them without her....it's always so much more enjoyable when she's here...her little spirit filling our home with noise...I love her noise.

 
 

I've unearthed an old love for fabric....how I've missed it...I'm not going to let it get stashed away ever again....little bits on this pocket card...on the tag inside and on the sweet Maya Road cupcake...with sprinkles of shabby, chunky glitter.

 
More fabric here....accompanied by the Papertrey Ink stamp set called Fall Elegance.  The die cut is the Mat Stack 4 die, scrunched seam binding from This Good Day...and then other assorted goodies. 

 
Lastly...a little taste of fall...cause I love it so...and have you taken a peek out your window tonight.....I see the most beautiful Harvest Moon tonight....sigh...it speaks comfort as well.

 
 
 
 
 
More fabric....mmmmm....I love you fabric....and sweet wooden houses which I purchased from my friend Kim Hesson....a little village created for the Maya Road blog...you can read about the supplies I used HERE.

Happy Harvest Moon!

My husband and I took a walk this evening and saw the moon just coming up. It was beautiful. Just love your cards - you are such an inspiration to me. I check in everyday!

I love all of your little creations, Melissa! So much shabby, thoughtful, detail that makes each one special! I'm inspired by everything you make, and by your encouraging words!

As always; hand made jewels. I wish I could take a workshop from you..... I love them all (and your story.)
Have a wonderful day!

[Melisa Hunter]

What beautiful creations! Love all the gorgeous details you put on each and every project... little surprises tucked in here and there...

[Maureen Chandler]

I just love all your creations and look forward to your blog! Your style is similar to mine and I love to see what you do with all your embellishments! Thanks for sharing so much of yourself!!! Hugs!

I love these--the glitter especially. I have that chunky glitter and have never used it. You make me look at it in a new way-- not as the star, but as a minor detail, and I like it much better that way. Thank you again.

[Patty O'Malley]

Oh how I just love all your cards and projects. I love the "enjoy the little things" sentiment. I just came across a quote in a fall cooking magazine that is similar--"Enjoy the little things for one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things."

[Melony Bradley]

Beautiful, magical, sparkley Fall goodies here!

[Yana]

Oh, what a cute houses! Must do something similar, "HOME" maybe... To decorate the fireplace. Such an inspiration! And cards are very sweet and beautiful as usual. Love the cupcake!

[Troy Louise]

What a wonderful group of lovelies! I was just thinking about using some of my enormous stash of fabric on some cards. Thanks ever so much for the fun inspiration. Hope you & your little one enjoyed those cookies!

[Anne T]

[Alice W.]

These are all so cool Melissa! Love all of the little special details and touches!

I just wanted to thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment (I believe it was the real you, lol!). I was just so touched and honoured that you would think my card was so beautiful. Thank you for inspiring me to try something different and embrace vintage!! Being able to do it repeatedly is another matter entirely though, haha!
