This fall, Bill and I actually made it to the Renaissance Festival last Saturday, September 25! We picked up his friend Tom, and headed out to the Ren Fest… with plans on meeting my friends Chris, Cindy, and their girls. As it turned out, Chris stayed home with Erin because he wasn’t feeling well.
Bill just past the entrance to the Renaissance Festival
It was chilly! Bill didn’t want to take a jacket, but he was glad he had one after we got there… I think the high was supposed to be 58!
Playing with Fire!
A Balancing Act
Flaming Feet?
We caught part of the Zucchini Brothers show, and in this part they had an audience member putting the last flaming baton on the top of his boots. It was pretty amusing since he apparently wasn’t sure how to get the baton on the guy’s boots! He walked around and kept getting hollered at because he couldn’t figure it out.
Procession with the Queen, leading up to the Jousting Event
Bill, Tom, and I were standing in line waiting for the turkey drumsticks at the back of the festival when they started the procession to the jousting field. It was nice to be somewhat distracted while waiting in line! We also heard that all the horses they use for the jousting event are rescued horses that are re-trained. I was not aware that the horses were rescues. Learn something new every day!
Giddy-up!
Morgan had a ball on Bill’s shoulders… although his back wasn’t to happy about it later!
Maypole Dance
We stood and watched the Maypole dancers for a little bit. Bill and Tom are in the lower right corner.
Sitting in the Sea Horse
Enjoying the Ride
Cindy, Morgan, and I went on the Seahorse ride at the Renaissance Festival. Morgan had a ball! She had so much fun… She kept saying she was scared, but when we asked if she was really scared, she said she was just pretending. What a joker!
A Lady and the Jester
I am the Queen!
We found these funny cut-outs to take pictures in. Cindy and Morgan did the double one (well, Morgan did a bunch of them!), and then Cindy offered to take my picture in this one. Too funny, don’t you think?
Bagpipers
We stopped to enjoy the music for a while… and then we could still hear them as we waited in line for food. (Yes, we spent a lot of time waiting in line!)
The Joust
They do a jousting event a few times during the day. Well, Cindy, Morgan and I got food in the back, just as the jousting event was beginning. So we relaxed there on the bleachers and enjoyed the food and the entertainment.
Ta Da!
On the way out of the Renaissance Festival, right after we exited the wooded walk, there are a bunch of huge boulders. Morgan climbed right up on one of them and threw her arms up in the air.
We had a good day. I actually went home with Cindy and Morgan. Bill and Tom took off earlier in the day, since they were both sporting sore backs. We had quite the adventure on the way home since I-75 was down to one lane going Southbound. But we made it back in one piece!

Here is my entry for the MMSC #72.
The image on this card is Lizzie with Muff by Whiff of Joy. For this card, I used paper from my stash. The ribbon and gems I purchased at Michaels. The ones that are over the glittery ribbon are Decorative Accents that I colored with BG07. Unfortunately, that’s the only color I remember since I didn’t write the others down before putting them away!

This challenge is for Michelle Perkett Studio’s Tag You’re It Challenge.
I can’t recall what the name of this type of card should be, if it actually opened up… Please feel free to leave a comment if you know! However, because I wanted to make it so that the recipient has to pull the tag out of the card, I chose to glue down the flaps, so the card does not open.
For the tag and card, I used Michelle Perkett’s image Air. The background paper is from the ATD Wildflowers 12×12 paper pack. The yellow and pink solid papers I matted the digital image on were from my stash. The pretty pink and white ribbon is from My Sentiments Exactly. I used the following Copics to color the image: E00, E51, G03, RV02, RV04, V17, Y11, Y15, and YR09.

Here is my card for Operation Write Home for the Double Delight challenge. I chose this digital stamp because it’s perfect for the Fall, and Autumn is just about here.
For this challenge, I used the Happy Harvest digital stamp by Designed 2 Delight. I used paper from my stash, and ribbon I purchased at Michaels for the card. I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the background with pumpkins. The stamp is Autumn Flower by Stampendous. I, of course, used my Copics on this card: E07, E55, E57, R24, W00, Y23, YR04, YR12, YR16, and YR23.

Here is my Designed 2 Delight entry. This adorable image can be found at Designed2Delight Digital Stamp shop.
For this card, I used paper from my stash. I embossed the orange cardstock using the Spiderweb Cuttlebug folder. The Spooky sentiment is (I think) from a Fiskars set. I used Copics to color this image: 0, E33, E39, RV02, T2, T3, T5, Y02, Y32, YR61, and YR65.
