a few images yourself!

Have a great weekend!

Happenings...

Hi! Thankful Thanksgiving is over!! I had the family
over the Saturday after, it seems as I get older, it takes
way more energy than I have sometimes!We are going to
move soon. Too much house now that Sara is gone and Adam 

will soon be gone too. We have SOOOO much stuff,
trying to go through it all is a very daunting task! I haven't
been doing much crafting, but decided to show 

you a few things I've done lately.

 I've been keeping up with my fall book.

 Making Christmas cards...

 and they turned me loose to make arrangements at work!

 which I love doing.

Challenge #157

Over at DP2 Challenge, this weeks challenge is "Autumn Fun".

Normally I would make a card but the image I used

is purrrfect for my Gracee's first Halloween!

She is going to be a kitty....so I made a page

instead of a card.

I can't wait to add her little picture!!

Check out Mo's Digital pencil!

All or nothing....

Been busy...but not really. It's been a while since I updated and the 

standard is to say you've been super busy...which is true..

but not. I have had many chances to update...just have nothing

to update about. This post will be random as all get out!

Been doing a lot of this! But who can blame me!

 Been cooking more...now that Adam is back at home.

 Been creating more....love coloring with copics!

Even got out the ole' sewing machine...to make this.
A cover for the sewing machine.

Also helping Lil' Miss prepare for her 1st Halloween....

 I missed getting some fall photos...the perfect day to
go out was busy...the next 3 have pretty much
blown off all the leaves, go figure.

I did get these....

as a thank you from Sara, for watching Grace.
I had an interview with the local grocery store
about a position in the floral department. Should know 

soon enough...I will only work the days Sara is off....

so we are always covered with a sitter for Gracee.
