We are sponsored this week by the lovely Digi Doodle Shop

 For our challenge this week staying with a season theme, I would like to see anything to do with

Harvest Festival

Harvest Festival is a celebration of the food grown on the land.

Thanksgiving ceremonies and celebrations for a successful harvest are both worldwide and very ancient. In Britain, we have given thanks for successful harvests since pagan times. We celebrate this day by singing, praying and decorating our churches with baskets of fruit and food in a festival known as 'Harvest Festival', usually during the month of September.
