Fall is in the Air and NEW Issue of Rusty Tin Roof eZine IS HERE!

Oh my goodness next to Christmas, Fall has to be my most favorite time of the year...well really they are tied in my book. Fall in Texas is really like summer ya know, so I think back to my days growing up in Memphis and the leaves falling from the trees and the wonderful fall smell in the air. Course that was over 30 yrs ago but who is counting (shoot I am lucky to remember that far back).

Tonight was one of those sleepless nights but that is okay for 3 reasons. 1. I celebrated Keelee's 23rd birthday with her today (well really yesterday the 16th). 2. We went to Octoberfest to celebrate her birthday and I walked and drank some wine and watched the music and dancing. Course this is the reason I can't sleep but it is so worth the pain! 3. The new issue of Rusty Tin Roof eZine came out today and it is BIG, so hop over and download your copy or just do what I do read it right there. It is BIG so give it time to download. There are free patterns, food to make, articles that filled my night with reading pleasure and made me want to go sew, craft and maybe even paint a little.

Pop over to http://www.rustytinroof.com/ and click on the Fall Magazine Cover to get your issue today!
Then come by the Rusty Tin Roof Blog and tell DJ and her staff what you liked about the eZine.

Well off to do some more reading and maybe draw out a pattern or two.
Get ready for Fall Ya'll ..cause it is already here!

A Primitive Journey Community and DFW Chapter

Come Join A Primitive Journey Community

Why u ask?

When looking for a place to meet primitive lovers online, I personally like a place that is friendly.... folks welcome everyone and treat each person as if they have known you for years. I also want a place where folks share. They share of themselves as well as their knowledge. AND lastly I look for a place that is unique....different....fun to come in and stay a while.

This Community has it all and MORE.

What are Chapters?

A Primitive Journey has come up with an unique concept where primitive lovers and artist in different cities will be able to meet together to see each other face to face as well as spend time together. It might be something as simple as gathering at a local primitive or antique store to go window shopping ( or shopping for real) or meeting for dinner to talk about what we love most PRIMS. Maybe your city's chapter might want to start a "sewing circle" night once a month where you gather and everyone bring something to work on and you work and visit at the same time.

It is a fun way to get to know face to face your primitive neighbors.

Now what is that big ole Cowboy helmet doing in the middle of our Prim chat? Well..... We are looking for primitive lovers, collectors, artists and crafters in the Dallas/Fort worth Area to join our DFW Chapter.

HOW Do you join?First you need to join A Primitive Journey Community.

Once you are approved come in and introduce yourself and then visit the different sections. Don't be shy there are so many places to come in and visit. The HEN HOUSE is where you can come and just visit, FREEBIE section you wil find lots of free patterns and crafts.

OH of course to sign up for our DFW Chapter head over to the section called

Sign Up Here For Chapter Placement.

Last but not least one of the best things about joining a local chapter is ...

There will be a National Convention in August 2011

so you will already know folks and you can travel and stay together.

(I hate going to places alone or where I don't know a face

this makes a National Convention Perfect in my books.)

If you have any questions just drop me a note put APJ in the subject line and I will get right back with ya.
