November 1st Attitude of Gratitude 0

Saturday Nov. 1st our family hosted an Autumn Family Fun Night for my husbands' work. The weather was BEAUTIFUL. A calm warm afternoon, showing all of Autumn's glory, cooling off just enough for our guests to thoroughly enjoy the campfire. I must say it was one of my favorite company get-togethers. Here are some of my favorite pictures (sorry I didn't get to take too many - I was a little busy making certain we had everything to make the night a success).

My husband and his grill master helpers.

Cute little conversation pieces (now I am showing my inner Martha), I actually did this so MY KIDS wouldn't eat all of the chocolate! It was nice to have everything prepackaged for our guests too (You can assemble your S'more while the marshmallow's still hot).

We even had an old fashioned hay ride - complete with a trip through the nearby cemetary! The adults got to go on a longer ride through a more wooded area near our property as well.

I LOVE this photo, it glows of the yellows and oranges that were so gorgeous that day. In real life the tree was lit with twinkle lights (my absolute favorite type of light.)

One of the blogs I read, posted a challenge and I think it is appropriate for the month of November. The challenge is called 30 days of Gratitude and since I just read the post, yesterday, I will be posting quite a bit to let you all know what I am thankful for and to get me caught up on the challenge. If you would like to take the challenge too, hop on over to Erin's blog and drop her line.

Holiday Cards 0

My apologies for taking so long to post these. For those of you who have purchased a gift certificate for Holiday Cards these are your options. They are all standard 4.25" x 5.5" cards, handstamped and pieced some have bling, others have popped out elements. All cards come with an envelope. If you have questions or wish to see something different please feel free to drop me an e-mail or give me a call. Thanks for looking!

Don't forget the kids' lunchboxes! 0

School is in full swing and I created these fun little cards to put in my kids' lunchboxes to let them know I was thinking of them. Don't worry I made a few! They're decorated on the inside too. It's an exciting week for them - it's Homecoming. Don't you think this will make an already fun week even better? It doesn't take much to let someone know you're thinking of them either.

Welcome to my Blog! 0

A place designed to show off my passion - Creating beautiful works of art, gifts of the heart, and little glimpses of my life. I am a stay-at-home mom of four beautiful kids whose ages range from 9-3. My passion is paper crafts, when I'm not being a cook, housekeeper, or taxi driver; I'm creating. To paraphrase Erin Lincoln, "Scrapbooks help you prolong the moment." And as quickly as my kids are growing, it's so wonderful to see their tiny little faces in their albums and remember precious times.
