I’m so happy you’re here, and as always, I’ve chosen four creative bloggers to highlight and share their inspiring posts with you. They’ve really brought the spirit of fall and Halloween to life! Let’s dive in and explore these beautiful projects together.

Karins Kottage Highlights
Before we get to this week’s link-up, I just want to say how incredibly grateful I am for this community of amazing friends. You have all shown me so much love through your prayers and messages. It truly lifts my spirits as I navigate this journey through cancer.
My faith in Christ is my anchor, and one scripture that I hold dear is Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” I continue to pray and trust in His plan, and I know that the Lord works through others to bring to pass his tender mercies. Thank you Thank you for being one my many angels.
A wonderful weekend
We had a lovely weekend where I hosted a dinner for 8 of my dear friends in the backyard. It was such a joy to focus on good food and great company. We grilled chicken thighs and salmon, served roasted herb potatoes and a delicious tomato tart with a pine nut crust.
For dessert, my daughter and granddaughter made an incredible chocolate cake with butter and Nutella frosting—pure heaven!
Now, let’s get to the party! I can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on. Thank you for your continued support and for being part of this beautiful community.
Link up your latest creations below!
Until next week, happy creating and decorating!
Love,
Karin
