It smells like fall

Even though it's 95 degrees outside, I wanted my house to smell like fall today. So, I made some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Turning on the oven isn't the greatest idea, but my house sure smells good--LOL!!


These are the easiest cookies ever---they have 4 ingredients. Here is the recipe:
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 15 oz. can pumpkin
1 spice cake mix
Chocolate chips
Pecans(or other nuts---optional)
Bake at 350 degrees for 18 minutes. YUMMY!!!

I finished a fall door- hanging last night. Now, that is one happy cat on there!! Don't you think? I sewed the binding around it as I watched the Olympics. I like it against the black door. I painted our front and back doors black this summer. They both were green, not a good green, and I thought black would show off the prim stuff I make better.

We have back to school night tonight for our 7th grader. School is really starting!! The girls asked if we could have one last shopping day, so I guess that will be tomorrow. Sigh....am I ready for reports, reading, writing and 'rithmetic? I hope!! Ready or not, here it comes.

Be Nice to People,
Julie

Those cookies look goooood. I bet they smell good. I tend to like anything with pumpkin and spice, so it's right up my alley!

Your new fall wall hanging is great, as usual! And I really like your doors black. Very nice!

Have a great day!

Your newest wall hanging is delightful, as always, Julie. It looks perfect for fall.

I hope today's been a good one, my friend...
