Yes we all have to face the fact that summer is indeed coming to an end. The Gothic Arches challenge this week is to create a piece that signifies that fact. the beginning of school was always the end of summer for me even though it wasn't officially. Shopping for back to school meant shopping for Fall and Winter clothing. The days seemed shorter and cooler, the freedom of summer had ended and it always seemed like Hallowe'en was just around the corner.

Great arch Heather, love the colours and the whole mood of it. That image is one of my favourites, - she just looks so ready to go back to school! (unlike me lol)
I love the vintage school photo you've used, Heather.
(I thought for sure this week's theme would be "school," and even put some stuff aside for it:)
love the image:0) beautiful arch Heather!
Great arch, Heather! So lovely!
I love your idea - and how you put it all together!
Heather, what an adorable arch and just perfect for the theme!
What a wonderful arch, Heather. Just gorgeous.
Oh it was always so sad when Labour Day rolled around...school shopping was done, first day outfit and new shoes and socks all ready -- we gauged it by the CNE and then Labour Day and it just felt "over", even if the calendar said it had a few more weeks to go!!
I love your arch Heather -- this is wonderful -- this little girl looks so ready to head back with her abc and the class photo!!
I always had such mixed emotions about summer, but the reality of it was I loved the tradition of school shopping, the allure of brand new notebooks and pens, the fun of seeing all my friends once again, and the comforting knowledge that cooler days were ahead with the holidays not far behind. Love your interpretation of this theme :)
this is gorgeous Heather, I love all the details you've included. I hated going back to school because it meant the fun was over. LOL
Beautiful!
Great take on the theme, Heather, your colours and images are brilliant!
