Wow - Long Time! Happy Halloween!

Not sure why - but decided TODAY was going to be the day to update my blog - now hopefully the fall will hold off and not snow anytime too soon - so I can keep this look for a bit - isn't it CUTE?!

I'm no longer posting my P365 Layouts - well maybe I will on here too - but they are on my facebook page. Maybe I'll post them on here - we'll see how it goes!

But I thought I'd like a place to put out some thoughts, pics, ideas, whatever - sometimes Facebook just isnt the place!

So I have no idea who reads this - if anyone - ha ha! But wanted to share the kids' Halloween cards that I made! I think they turned out cute (but I'm pretty biased - cute kids, cute kits - what more could I ask for?!)







The kids are passing out treats in their classrooms and I printed 4 of these per 4x6 print and cut them apart and stuck them in snack size baggie with their goodies. Who knows if anyone will even look at them - I mean come on - there is CANDY in there! ;) But oh well - they're cute nontheless!

Plus after a few days of a sick hubby and kid (and dog for that matter) - I needed something to cheer me up! Here's to hoping no one else throws up my in house for a LONG time!

Alright - E is napping I best go jump in the shower before I have to go pick up Bug!

Ok - I'm so far behind on posting to this blog - that I'm just going to post the Layouts for the month of June - if anyone wants to see all the pics - they can visit my facebook page - they're all on there! :)

Not sure if I'll get a chance to do all the July pics - its a lot more time consuming than I had planned - but you'll def be able to see the LOs! :)

Day 142 (photo 1): I thought I did a pretty good job on the cake for today!! The grey isn't the smoothest, and the white line across the red circle isnt centered the best....but overall I think it looks pretty good! :) (BTW it's Ratchet the transformer (animated version) - made with the Wilton "Van" Pan (I had to cut the cake to shape it more like ratchet and free hand the colors)


Day 142 (photo 2): The Zenner crew (plus two) - at Trev's birthday party! I was so glad they could all make it! :)

Day 144 (photo 2): Had cupcakes out at Grandma Ann's & Grandpa Trent's house for supper!

These boys were sooo silly together - it's great to see how well they can play together! Here they are eating ice cream together and Caleb asks "Trevor you're going to always be my friend, right?" It was just too cute!
