Secret Garden:

Good Morning!

Can't believe September starts tomorrow.  While

I'm sad to see summer go, a part of me is very

excited. One I will be turning 33 years old soon.  Next the boys

start school, just love the smell of freshly sharpened pencils.  Lastly,

the Holidays are right around the corner.  Can't get

enough of those colors and smells!!! Yes, I'm one of those

nuts about the Holiday Season. 

You have already seen a few creations, but just wait

I have so many more to share.  They only need to

get out of my head first, lol.

Now for my layout today using Blue Heart Scraps kit- Secret Garden:

Good morning!!!

I'm up really early, as we only have

2 days left before the boys are off to school.  While

on one hand I have things ready, I still need to

go over those last minute details.  So

I wanted to get all of my computer stuff

out of the way first thing.  In turn giving me more time with the guys. 

First, I want to share a get template bundle that 3 Li'l Monsters has out.  If you

our last couple of fun things to do this weekend, and on Monday.  Although,

the rest of next week will be getting those last minute school

things finished.  While the clothes and supplies have

been purchased, I still need to go over everything

to make sure we didn't forget anything. Sometimes

I can't believe that my little boys are 2nd graders!!! 

Time is just going by way too fast.

Lemonade kit:

Good morning!

As I told all of you yesterday, we are having some work

done to our house.  I'm a huge fan of the Holidays, and

can't help myself when it comes to decorations.  I have boxes

and boxes of Holiday goodies. 

Over the last two years, we've had them

on some shelves that keep them some what organized.  Although,

they never really gave a feeling of being that way.  Since our

garage seems to never be closed, due to the boys, we decided

it was time for some storage units to hide all of my goodies.

After today, I'm happy to say that we will have a nice clean and organized

garage.  Plus I even received some extra room for more

decorations, lol! 

Now for something creative:

Sorry no card for all of you today, but I do have this

layout using Sunshine and Lemonade by 3 Li'l Monsters:

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Dreams come true:

Kiki Halbert has a new kit out called Dreams come true. 

Her inspiration for this kit was Disney Land.  So while it worked

great for our Disney Cruise (yes I still have tons left to scrap).  The

boys would in no way would get close to any of the

princesses.  Todd and I would laugh because

they would go the long way just to stay away.

Now time for my layout.  When looking through

the galleries, I normally come across a layout or two that has a

photo stacked just like in my own layout.  I love

the way it looks, and gives the photo a

different feel.  After looking at a few different one,

I decided to try it for myself.
