A Halloween Page

Are you ready for Halloween?  We are almost ready.  I still have to sew an apron for Lauren's costume, a Kandy Korn witch.  Ian will be Harry Potter (again!).

The layout below is in Better Homes & Gardens Scrapbooks etc.'s October '2009 issue.

My kids from Halloween 2008:

Scarlet Lime: October '09

I thoroughly enjoyed creating these pages with the latest Scarlet Lime kits!  Fall is my favorite season and I tend to take lots of photos of the kids.  It was great to pull out some of their older photos & scrap them.  It amazes me how much they've grown since these pictures were taken.

This one is of the happy threesome, taken recently on Ian's 7th birthday.  The kids just adore Bea, my friend Genevieve's daughter.  I think the kids may be arguing over who gets to put this on display in their bedroom.  LOL!

Fall is here...

This has to be my fave season!  I missed out on this while living in CA.

Now, it's one of the things I love about living in the midwest!

The leaves are starting to change colors... and it's almost time for us to go to the pumpkin patch.  The kids have so much fun.

Then, there's Halloween.  We'll be picking out the kids' costumes pretty soon, too.

Lauren wants to be a candy corn witch and Ian is still undecided on which superhero he'll be.  lol!  

Speaking of halloween, my Spooky Halloween Mini Book Download is available to showcase photos of your spooky traditions and cute little goblins.  Check it out!

Wanted to take this chance to greet my baby a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. He's 7 today!!!

Off to have lunch with him at school.  :D

Have a great day, all!!

Happy Friday

Although I did have one rough Friday (that involved a trip to an Urgent Care facility and a shot for migraine relief - was that TMI?  :-P), I am happy that it's Friday because I have decided to make my weekends almost work-free.

Just a few of things to share here.
