Heather Preckel is my new favorite Celeb!!!! I got to meet her yesterday at The Scrapbook shoppe. She is so genuine, talented, and just downright nice!!!! We made some serious kick butt pages. 3 to be exact. Then we made these flower pot things. I had so much fun. The other pic is of Lexi, Julie, and Heather. Whooo!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to get some pages done! I love how Heathers pages really pop. I love the 3D look to them. I was drooling looking at her album. You just want to touch all her pages!!!!! I love working with fabric and taking this class just reinforced that! I can't wait to finish my little purse album from when Bonnie and I went to the all night crop! I have two more pages I need to make my goal on www.theschoolofscrap.com I can't wait to get busy!!!!

We had so much fun today. Norman came by to play with kids!!! They had a blast in the yard running around, playing kickball, and working every part of the swing set. The backyard had never been so fun because now the kids had an audience and it was Norman what could be better!!! It was a symphony of yelling his name each time they performed a dramatic stunt off the swingset or slide. They had to make sure he was looking, lol!

Then Mike and Melissa, and Mac stopped by and we all went to the Pumpkin Patch and had some more fun! We took tons of pics! Turns out the Dentist knows a thing or 2 about how to work the camera!!! Whoooo, vibrant orange pumpkins in the backround may be cliche but who could resist!!

The weather is finally getting cooler here. Yippie, some relief from the hot weather.

Today the kids get their report cards! This is Kelly's first year to get actual letter grades. I can 't wait to see what she brings home. It is also Jillian's first report card ever!!!!!! Wow, big day for the girls. I'll take lots of pics. Here are a couple of recent pages. True colors was a challenge on www.theschoolofscrap.com We had to use a Cindy Lauper song. This is a digi layout. I am still and seemingly forever working on Kelly's school album. Here's one of the latest pages.

Confession: I am addicted to scrapbooking but you already knew that, lol!! TFL!

Hello and Boo!

Billy picked out his Halloween costume today. It is so cute. I actually reminds me of a suit in a picture a friend of mine posted. It's skeleton Man!!!! He loves it!

Right now Jillian is saying she wants to be a lady bug which is fine by me because we already have the costume! She's been a lady bug the last three years! Kelly changes her mind daily.

I love this time of year. The weather was beautiful today. I sat outside the Nana and Lana while the kids played. Its been an long hot summer so it was nice to play outside again.

Happy Haloween.
