Treasure Seekers News

September 27, 2008

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to Autumn, one of my favourite seasons of the year. I enjoy the glorious colours of nature, only available in September and October.

The warm hues of brown, red, and yellow is a new palette for our scrapbook photos. Suddenly orange takes on many tones, with pumpkin, ginger, burnt, rust, butternut and spice. Fall gives us a whole new smorgasbord to feast on.

Along with new colours, September brings new routines, as the kids return to school. Or, maybe this is the first year of school! Kindergarten or high school, a new year is filled with excitement and opportunities.

There won't be another 'first', whether it's first day of school, first class photo, first field trip, first school bus ride, these milestones only happen once. Be ready with your camera!

New Products
