Cathe, What perfect goodies to find on your blog today. I am from Deer Creek IL and yes we love deer here! I'm going to put the deer graphics on my granddaughter's composition books/journals. I'm going to put the yankee almanac on a gluebook. Thanks for making my day. Sally

Cathe,
Thanks so much for these, I was born in Worcester Mass. and I know just what I'm going to do with these. How about wrapping them around a glass canister and putting a candle inside so that the light glows out?
I'm gonna try it!
Thanks for the inspiration, how fun this will look for Fall, my favorite season....
Cheers to you,
Gail

I finally did a three word Thursday. It is not creative or giving like yours but at least I remembered! Do you know the origins of TWT?

Here's my post: http://greatfullday.blogspot.com/2009/08/three-word-thursday.html

Thanks for this Cathe!
I was so inspired by the design, so made a unique handmade greeting card as featured on my blog today.

Thanks for sharing - thought you would be interested to see.

Wow! I love the deer graphic ~ I'm going to try a paper cutting with it. I'll mount it and frame it and then it will be the perfect Christmas gift for my boss. I'll share it with you - if it turn out! : )

The almanac will look great on a little journal. Thanks for sharing them!

Thanks for sharing! I'm wondering how a Christmas card would look incorporating these sweet deer. Wish I knew how to paper cut like Marie, then I would frame it and give it to my son. Karen

Dear Cathe,

Thank you sooooo much for sharing this beautiful deer graphic. I'm definately going to use it. I'm thinking my blog header is getting a bit old and I need to try something else. Maybe I can squeeze it in.

Tootles,
Fawn(Dear)
