The Lilypad weekend!!!

Have you heard any buzz about what is happening this weekend at The-Lilypad??!!  Lot’s of fun stuff I tell you!  The Lilypad designers hooked up with the designers from 9th & Bloom to make a fabulous collab!!!  It will be perfect for you to scrap those fun pictures you take this weekend of trick or treating!!!

And if you love a good blog hop where you can pick up some really cute quickpages and freebies then you will want to hop on over to Amy Martin’s blog starting late tonight thru this weekend and start downloading!  I even have a quickpage being offered on one of the blogs!

Here is my LO done with the new collab:  the title is no boo, because my little girlies have never dressed real scary yet – all sugar and spice here – no scary!

And here is another new LO with a newly released kit today!  It’s a collab by Amy Wolff and Emily Ann Designs.

 

And last, but certainly not least…I am hosting a speed scrap on Monday at 2:00EST time!!!  Please come and scrap a LO with me – I give you the prompts and by the end of the time (1 hr of chatting/scrapping, and then an hour to finish it up and post it), you will have a sweet page!!!  So get those kiddos down for naps and join me in The-Lilypad chat room on Monday!

And just for participating and posting your page by 4:00EST on Monday you will get this kit as a prize!!!  So you get a page done and a free mini kit – how about that?!

 

We’re off to a waterpark this weekend with the girls!!!  Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Llamas

I seem to have taken a love to all things llama lately.  Alpacas even!  Just down the road from us there is a couple that raise some alpacas/llamas (not sure what they are exactly), and I love driving past them everyday!  I know, I know…it’s kind of a weird animal to like, right?!  How could you not though – there’s something very cute about them!  Which leads me to this cute set of kid’s books that I have fallen in love with!  The first book we got in this set was Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney.  The kids love it, but I think I love it even more!  It’s an easy read and just so cute!

How could you not think he’s cute?!  And for stocking stuffers i just got the Llama Llama Mad at Mama, and Llama Llama Misses Mama books!  There’s a new one coming out as well for the holidays – might have to scoop that one up as well!  So, if you’re looking for a couple CUTE books to read to your kids at night I would strongly suggest these!  Even if you don’t have a fascination with llamas like I do! :)

Recent LO’s

Just a post with some of my latest LO’s.  I’m feeling a little lack luster lately, hopefully i get more inspired again soon!

This last LO was a lot of fun to do and I did it for the Oct. Journaling challenge that I am hosting over at The-Lilypad!  Do come and play along – good chances of winning a TLP gift certificate!!!  I did a tag mosaic using flickr – all photos are stock photos and they each represent my answers to the tag!

Ciao,

Girls Weekend Getaway

last weekend I had the opportunity to go up to my sister’s cabin – up north Michigan with a group of fabulous women! We all felt like we really needed more time, but we enjoyed the time we did have! We ate yummy things like cinnamon chip scones with maple icing, frittatas, this delicious pasta dish, eggs in a basket, and Mexican corn salad to name a few! We ate good! We did some antique shopping where I found a really great set of glass bottles to put up above my cupboards, and also a set of wood shutters that i have big plans for! We went wine tasting in Traverse City at Brys Estates. We ate dinner at the Jolly Pumpkin on the peninsula. One of the fun things we did as well was to take pictures of each other. As women and mothers we are often behind the camera, so we each stepped out and got fun pictures taken of ourselves! Lots of laughs! So here are a few pictures from our weekend! Enjoy!

Can you tell we had fun?! We had the most beautiful weather and the colors of the trees up north were just so pretty! We took a nice long walk on Sat. morning too! All and all a perfect weekend getaway!
