at the patch

We started October at the Pumpkin Patch this year. It was 85 degrees and HUMID...but AJ was the best pumpkin model ever!

Tea, My Lady?

that's what AJ says when we are having a tea party. I have had this picture printed out forever and bought the Sassafras Lass Lollipop papers right when they came out for this LO. Funny how I just got around to it. But it turned out pretty close to how I had it designed in my head.

I hope to get to a few more Layouts before the week is over. We'll see how the rest of the week goes. I'm not having a great week health wise. Let's hope I start feeling better.

A day with JULIE

I can't believe it has taken me this long to post about my wonderful scrap day with the infamous Julie. She lives about 1.5 hours from me, so we decided to get together at my house for a mini crop.

I was so totally nervous before she got here. Not about meeting her, but that she was probably going to find out that I am a clutterbug. My scraproom was a disaster area, and even though we weren't scrapping in there, I still wanted it to be clean. And by disaster area, I mean DISASTER AREA.
This room gradually became the "catch-all" for EVERYTHING. And it totally overwhelmed me. So, I started cleaning in there bright and early Saturday morning. At about 11 or so, there was a knock on the door and I knew I was caught. Yeah, I can be a slob. Now you know my secret.

I answered the door and there she was, petting my cat (of course...lol) There was no weirdness, no quiet times from the moment she walked in. It was as if I had known her all my life. She's fun, and so down-to-earth. Which is a good thing, because my house was Grand Central Station for some reason that day.

We pulled our stuff out on the dining table and AJ decided to join us for a bit. She created two layouts with the stuff Julie brought her. She was definitely a busy body - changing clothes about 4 times, singing, dancing, being the normal AJ.

We had a great day and towards the end, I had to get Jules to autograph my copy of Memory Makers where she was currently published. I will treasure it forever...lol

Of course before she left, we had to get some pics:Julie has more since my battery died. :(

All in all, it was a great day, I am so glad to have met her 'IRL' and I can't wait to do it again!

Another busy week....

Ever get the feeling something has taken over your life and you are out of control? NO, not SCRAPPING that would be a good thing. I'm talking work. I'm still putting the late hours in and have no time for anything - much less scrapping!
I did complete ONE layout. I started it on Saturday and finally finished it this morning.
Now I notice the pic is crooked - hmmm....oh well for now.
I am going to a crop tomorrow from 4-midnight, so I hope to get something accomplished!
Welp, gotta get ready for WORK! HAve a Great Day!

I look like who?

MyHeritage: Family trees - Genealogy - Celebs

Julie found this cool site so I tried it out. Seems I am Buffy. If you are a vampire, watch out.....

I started my new job a month ago. I love it, but it consumes a LOT of my time. Working full time is ROUGH...waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. But I love it, and hey, to live the American Dream, it's needed. :D

I haven't had much time to scrap, which I hate, but oh well. I hope to get some stuff done soon.

Welp, need to get ready for work.

Miss you all.
