Autumn Acorns!  Thanks to all the ladies for your great suggestions.  There were quite a few that I loved!

Can some of the really talented ladies start working on badges?

Also, any volunteers to run the check ins? 

If you can't tell, I'm super excited to get started!

    Acorn treats for good luck? https://www.ourbestbites.com/2012/11/easy-acorn-treats-two-ways/

    I can do a check-in, if needed.

    I like the (pseudo)growing acorn. Maybe I'll find some acorns on my way to the gym today and see if I can make a nice photo. On the other hand, that sounds ambitious :-P

    Huge thanks to @katemonster1‌ and @tweetyknicks‌ for volunteering as our check in leaders for the month. You ladies are awesome! 

    Do you want me to set up a badge poll tomorrow or wait for more ideas? I'll be away starting Saturday until the following weekend so I won't be able to post. If someone else wants to take over the badge poll, I'm fine with that too.
