Quick Post

I have been neglecting this blog lately. I really have been so busy! With trying to recover from our big trip and getting ready for Bryson's birthday and Halloween. Oh, and we've had company for the past 5 days and will have them until the weekend. It is such a busy time of the year for us!

I am just dying to get into the scraproom, but I am too tired once the kids go to bed. I know I keep promising some blog candy. I will be back with that very soon (promise again)....

Don't you love this birthday photo of my four year old? The shirt is from my college friend, Sally, and her wonderful company, Polka Dot Market. Visit her!

New Stuff and RAKs

This is one of the bonus layouts from my November workshop using Magic Moments. It is also one of the layouts you see in the Idea Book. I love it! I am always so happy when I can use older pictures on pages. These were taken at a birthday party we attended about two years ago at Gymboree. Bryson loved it. He still looked a lot like a toddler at that time. Gosh, they grow up too fast!

My blog friend, Laurel, sent me these great images and a beautiful card! and...
Jena sent me this cool tool box for my scrapbooking goodies! How lucky am I? :-)

I am still trying to settle in after our trip, so I will be back with that blog candy just as soon as I can get into my scraproom and put something together!

Have a great day!

Home

*I just reread my post. Guess I should clarify that this picture is from my "home" in WV. You know leaves never look that good in FL!
We just arrived to our official home in FL this afternoon. I feel a lot like SUPERMOM after 13 hours and two days in the car with the kids by myself! :-)

It was very cold and rainy here today, but it is so good to be home again. Here is a picture from my parents' driveway. I think the leaves are still pretty, but my mom assures me that they looked better last week. Hey, I live in FL now, so I don't get to enjoy this at all when I am there. I think they look beautiful now. :-) I just really hope it doesn't rain so we can take the kids to the pumpkin patch tomorrow.

I miss my paper crafting... Can't wait to get home and just stare at all my goodies. You all know you do it, too!

Mini Pocket Album and a Layout

I saw Tresa's new video tutorial, and I just knew I needed to make one of these for my sister-in-law and her soon (like 3 days from now) husband. I am putting her "gift" and note from our family inside. She is getting married on her family's tree farm, so It's A Guy Thing was the perfect paper to use.

We are leaving tomorrow for a long trip to visit, attend the wedding, and visit some more. We can't wait to see everyone and enjoy some true fall weather. I am sure I will be ready to return to the warmth of FL before it is all over.

This is the inside of my trial one I made to make sure i knew what I was doing. I used Whoops-A-Daisy paper.

This is one of the bonus layouts with my Notebook workshop. I changed it up a bit, and I plan on adding some stitching and ribbon. It felt good to use some of my baby pictures I've had sitting around for awhile. I am currently working on my Magic Moments bonus layouts, but it will be at least two weeks before I can share those. I want you all to see them with the finishing touches! I was not a fan of the paper packet until I get busy using it. Now, I love it!!!

I hope to have a chance to post a few pictures while I am away. If not, I will be back in a few weeks! Don't forget about me. Of course, you won't! :-) How could you? I'll have blog candy after I return!

Fun Park Pictures and a Layout

I took Scarlett to the park with some of our friends while Bryson was at preschool last week. She loves it there. She even let me snap a few fun pictures. :-)

I came home and printed some out on my home printer to put on this new workshop layout. I wasn't crazy about the Magic Moments Workshop layout until I started working on mine. I really love it. I never thought I'd like all that Colonial White showing, but I was wrong. I also used my Friendship Alphabet set. I just love those letters! Sorry for the horrible pictures of the layouts. I was just too lazy to fix them this morning!

I have other pages in progress, but they need embellishments and/or finishing touches. I might be back later today with those. I just never know how much scrapping time I will get with the little ones. Usually, it is not much. Oh well, I really enjoy spending all this fun time with them!

Off to start our day! Thanks for stopping by. :-)
