Well, It's the day before Halloween. Isabel has a parade tomorrow at school and the parents get to watch. I can't wait to take photos.
Isabel and I made some Halloween cupcakes yesterday, and of course, she is mad because she can't have one for breakfast.
You can see our "work" below:
In terms of scrapbooking, my mojo has been severely lacking this week. I am not sure what it is...I am waiting for some more pictures in the mail, the cold weather, lack of new stuff--I haven't been buying much at all lately (well, for my standards) I am hoping this shall soon pass as I am trying get inspired from my magazines and the net, but at this point I feel like I am just "window shopping".
I did get a really fabulous kit recently. I mean I think it is my favorite this year at this point. It is my October "Bad Girls Kit". Some of the adorable things in it are those Prima journaling cards, those knit cherries, the exclusive owl stamp, and that fancy packing tape. I really have to hand it to Wendy over there. She really makes her kits quirky and fun. I hesitated a long time before subscribing because it is a little more expensive than some of the other clubs, but it has been so well worth it and I have never had any regrets.
Here are a couple of layouts from the kit:
For some reason, I love making frames for Halloween. I have started a tradition that each year I make a new frame for my daughter in her costume so over the years she can enjoy them and see how muh she's grown.
I just go to Michael's and get the unfinished frames that are a dollar and doctor them up. Here is a picture of them displayed on my mantle..The latest one is in the middle with the owl and acorn inside.
Well, that is all for now...I hope that everyone has a wonderful, safe Halloween!!

Love the frame idea! You do a great job at displaying them. I love your LO's and it doesn't look like your mojo is gone at all to me!
Cute idea about the frames, looks like fun! Sorry about your mojo, it just takes some time I think. I always go crazy looking at inspiration and stuff and in the end I just have to do something else. My brain eventually unlocks that way. Love that kit, wow!
