Is there anything more vivid than walking down a long road looking at the trees as they change color from green to red, orange, and yellow? Just the colors alone can bring many creative thoughts.

Others might get inspired as they put out the Halloween decorations with their families. This season has so many wonderful things about it. Halloween and Thanksgiving are two big fall holidays in America that bring out the smells, tastes and sounds of fall.

Halloween brings out the child in young and old. You can be anyone you want to be with just a little bit of make-up (or for some of us a lot of make-up!). Many families come together choosing the right costume to wear, shopping together or creating it out of things around the house. With the laughter of trying out the costume or planning how to create it, one thing's for sure as you stand there and watch your loved ones, you can't miss the overwhelming feeling of happiness seeing a family getting along so well.

But maybe it's picking out the perfect pumpkin or going for hay rides that gets your creative fall juices flowing. One thing is for sure, the season inspires many traditions and countless artists. And then there's Thanksgiving. Oh the smells of this holiday: roasting turkey, sage-laden stuffing and rich pumpkin pie. When the smells of good home cooking are lingering in the air who can resist trying their hand at an autumn-themed mini?
