Decorations and some projects..

It's getting chilly..

I have been doing some Halloween decorating around the house. It is such a fun holiday when you have kids because they love to see the change in seasons and all the pumpkins and ghosts and the anticipation of trick-or-treating.




I have also been trying to catch up with some of my kits. These layouts are from my AMM September kit:




I just love that Sassafrass!
Have a great day! Off to work on some more projects..

Apple Picking

We went apple picking last weekend and I took some photos:
gotta love the apple hat!
cute little pumpkin!



Here are a couple of layouts I have been working on..
Some Summer ones:



And one of the little one using some Anna Griffin paper I got for real cheap at the NJ Scrapbook Expo:


I have also been trying to get rid of some scraps, like all this Sassafrass that I have:


I am working on Isabel's school scrapbook that I have been planning on doing for a while.. It seems like there is always something that I have to finish..
Have a great Thursday!

First Taste of Fall

Well, It is starting to get a little chilly out and we found our first tree in the neighborhood to sport some new Fall colors. Isabel and Bailey had a great time playing outside and exploring all of nature's beauty.



We went to the Central Park Zoo last week and Isabel got to see a snow leopard.



This little one was just happy to be carried around in her sling..


Speaking of Bailey, she is starting to reach a lot of milestones lately at 4-1/2 months like rolling over:



and finding her toes...


I finally finished the last bits and pieces of my Studio Calico September kit. I just loved working with those colors especially with Black and White photos:







That's it for today.
Thanks for stopping by!

Back to School!

This week Isabel went back to school and the cool weather has really settled in..It gets you thinking about Fall and taking photos. Apple picking, the pumpkin patch, Halloween, Fall leaves...







Bailey is doing great. She is really starting to look around at the world and is starting to chew on her toys and play..She is sleeping through the night in her crib..It was a little sad giving up her sleeping next to my bed in her Moses Basket, but I figured it would be a much easier transition for her to start sleeping in it now.



I have been working on some layouts, but most of them I haven't taken pictures of..I guess I have been lazy with the downloading, but here are a few....Thank goodness I have two girls, because I just love pink and all that vintage shabby-chic goodness. I got a bunch of Crafty Secrets and Melissa Frances when I went to the Scrapbook Expo last month.



I got my Studio Calico September kit yesterday, so I am ready to create today. It has been a while and I love the colors in this kit-blues, greens, reds, black, and white--lots of Anna Griffin and butterflies..fresh and lovely...

Have a crafty Thursday!!!

Hot fun in the Summertime!

This is me with my "Girl Posse". Yep, that is what we call our house full of girls around here. All I can say is poor Daddy!!



This layout just makes me smile. Don't you just love the ones that are so fun to make and you hate to put them away?? I know when I see it in the future..it will make me just as happy then as now.



Happy Monday! This is going to be the first really HOT day this Summer. The first day it will reach over 90 degrees. We'll try and stay cool!

Izzy made this Wall-E project at her Summer program in school. Isn't he adorable?

Here are a couple of layouts that I have been working on lately:
some Studio Calico:

A little of this:

And a little of that:



Have a great week!!
