{October Club }

For this month's club, i was thinking kitchen, warm, maybe the papers had something to do with it....LOL, i used Dream Street Simply Stated Collection.





I got my inspiration for the recipe book bookmark "rolling pin" from an old Paper Crafts magazine issue, thought it was so cute, & the template for the coffee mug is from the net (now if only i can get my Wishblade to cut it out?!)
along with the Dream Street Papers i used my Xyron Personal Cutting System for the tag in the mug & my Xyron Design Runner, Xyron adhesives, misc. rhinestones, trim, & ribbons.

As for this months club sketch challenge (sketch from pagemaps) i used some pearl stickons to the flowers, stamped a Fancy Pants Stamp on a transparency & Scenic Route chipboard. Photo by Megan Klauer Photography.

Thinking Fall....

Although the weather wouldn't make you think that?!

For the Happy Halloween card i used Cosmo Cricket's Haunted Collection & Stamps, and

the Autumn Days card i made with the Xyron PCS , Design Runner & my Bazzill stitchz.

Day 7....

The week has come to an end, already got ideas of booking this book together, although it will probally be a year from now-hah. Today was Olivia's 3rd birthday we celebrated with friends & family, then we relaxed & ate leftovers for dinner.The story with the costume, Olivia has become obsessed with Shrek & about a month-month 1/2 ago we were talking about Halloween costumes & i asked her what she wanted to be for Halloween, she said Fiona, i searched hi & lo & couldn't find one, so we settled on something else~One day i decided to search Ebay again & found one, so i decided to surprise her with it for her birthday outfit!

waiting patiently for party to start

Day 6...

Okay so last weekend went haywire, i did manage to take a few pics , so here it goes...
woke up too early for a Saturday (7ish), fed the girls breakfast. david came home from his guys breakfast, i got ready ran to a gargae sale with the older girls (thanks dad-trash~no man's treasure) well i did get a few videos for .25 a piece, David took the little two with him & got his license plate sticker renewed then we met up at Menards to get a new front screen door~decsions, decsions who what think it's that hard.He then took the 3 youngest girls to visit his grandma, she's not doing to well. I took Alyssa to gymnastics practice~Woo Hoo, she did even though she don't want to admit it yet, a round off back handsping by herself-i cried (yeah i know i'm a big sap). After gym practice she went to a friends for a while & i got that last few things i needed for Olivias party. The rest of the evening consisted of cleaning & setting up for party.Boy did i miss alot of good pics i could've taken.
