Halloween is over and Daylight Saving Time has begun!

My goodness how the time is flying by. I am feeling very "rushed". Glad Halloween is over. Our Granddaughter came over and was so cute dressed up in her little Tinkerbell outfit while her father was Peter Pan and her mother was Wendy. What a cute little family trick or treat! We had a fair amount of trick-or-treaters and I even answered the door instead of turning off all the lights and going to bed like I have done many years lately!! Sorry, but I am just not into the Halloween thing!

Ugh! And Daylight Savings time has started again. I love the fall back but what I would really love is just for them to leave it alone and let it be the time that it is!!! It is getting harder and harder for my body to make the adjustments from the change.

Well, onward to what I have for you today. I did more kits this week and hope you all enjoy them.
First off is Birthday Bash by Robyn Pali Designs at ESS. Very cute kit--and not just for birthdays, as you will see from my LO below. First shows the kit and then my LO's.




The next LO I did is with Trish H Designs kit Eggplant at ESS. Lovely purples and my LO's don't do it justice!

This next LO was done with the same kit Eggplant and a template from Robyn Pali Designs. It was her Gettin Round 2 It Template. It was so fun. I am fairly new to templates so I was not very pleased with the outcome but I know it can be made beautiful. I loved the kit and the template.

Last, but definately not least, is Cinnamon and Spice by Trish H Designs. Beautiful kit. Here are my LO's.

Another Week-Another LO

My goodness where has October gone? It just started a few minutes ago it seems and here it is almost over! Things are still quite hectic around here getting ready for my daughter's wedding, even though she is taking care of most of it. Excitement ruled here as she got her invitations. They turned out darling. Family spent yesterday filling envelopes! Only four weeks and one day to go.

Yesterday we had our annual Family Halloween Dinner, anyway I guess it can be called annual. We had it quite a few years ago and then last year and this year. It was fun. This year I assigned out the meal so I didn't have to do it alone. Last year I had more family at home to help but this year not so many--in fact only one lives at home for the present time. (Which could actually change at any moment! LOL) We had Witches Fingers, Ghosts, Eyeballs, FrogEyes, wormy punch, and skeleton faces cupcakes and a delicious pumpkin dessert. The meal was so fun...but so was being surrounded by family. I am so blessed to have all my children live so close at this time. I cherish every moment. That is not something I had when I married and this is truly a blessed thing. I thank my Heavenly Father each day for this blessing.

Today I have a LO from Robyn Pali's Designs. It is a collab with Color With Caryn at ESS. It is a delightful kit for those moments of being toothless!! Take a moment to go check it out at ESS.


Toodles now--until another day! And if I don't make it back before Saturday, ya'll have a Ghoulish Halloween!

It is beginning to feel like fall and the leaves are turning. What a lovely time of year. I am really enjoying the cooler weather and have been able to get out and walk more. I wish fall and spring would last longer where I live. I enjoy those seasons so much, mostly because of the not too hot and not too cold weather! LOL

Last night I finished my teaching for this session of the Adult Education program in our community here. I teach a class on self-hypnosis and using hypnosis to help alleviate/minimize pain. Teaching is one of my loves in life so I really enjoy doing this throughout the different sessions of Adult Education.

The wedding is coming along. Over the UEA holiday we were able to do a lot. She is a teacher and spends so much time at school preparing the different things for the children and all that is required. She worked hard on the wedding over the time off and wasn't ready to go back to school on Monday. She had her engagement pictures last night and got rained on some. Her sister and sisters-in-law are planning a shower for her and I delivered the invitations over the weekend.

Well, finally...here is the LO I promised using Robyn Pali's new Kit "Fall Harvest". What a delightful kit to play with! I really enjoyed the variety of elements and didn't even use all of them. I even did two LO's! You can get her kit here.

Lost!

Well, it has been a while since I put up anything and that is bad because it makes me forget how to do everything that I need to do to make things upload and go in the way they are supposed to!! LOL I feel behind and scrambling to catch up. A day late and a dollar short seems to translate into LOST at the computer!

My oldest daughter got engaged last month and it has made life extra hectic!! But I am happy about it. Her three younger siblings are already married and her baby brother is engaged to be married. I am glad she has found the wonderful young man who treats her with great respect and love.

So on to the scrapping stuff! There is a sale happening at Robyn Pali Designs at Enchanted Studio Scraps in celebration of ESS Fall Festival. Robyn has an awesome new kit called Fall Harvest too. I will add a LO soon but go check it out. It is only during this week so hurry.

I Can't Stop Lovin You

I was so intrigued by Robyn Pali's kit Road Trip that I created a layout using a love song theme. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pictures of my daughter seemed to fit perfectly to the song! The kit is so versatile--not just for trips! Go check it out.

Are We There Yet?

Hey guys and gals, check out Robyn Pali's kit "Road Trip" at Enchanted Studio Scraps. It is a very fun kit. We just went on a trip last month that I had photos to insert. And yes, it is the truth...we stuck 4 adults in the back seat of a Camry to ride 9-10 hours! LOL Long story and memorable trip!
