Mini Book

This is a mini board book that I created to sell on Etsy, I'm trying to make some more stuff to post on there. I'm so excited about my tags selling, I will definitely need to put more up there. Don't forget to check out my shop there is a link on the top corner for my shop. Here is the book I made.

Apple Picking Galore

Here are a couple pictures from our apple picking experience. We all had so much fun and had so many apples. It was great though because it was definitely an experience we would all remember. And i definitely can't wait to do it again next year. We have so many apples that I will definitely have to make some caramel and candy apples sometime this week. You'll see below pictures of us and apples, and some tiny tiny pumpkin and then some decent medium sized ones too. We picked red delicious, granny smith, golden delicious and I forget what the other kind was. But they were all very tasty. Enjoy the pictures.

One Word - Gone

Here is my entry for the One word challenge. I stumbled upon this blog not too long ago and was so happy to see something that can give you such variety. Others might be about sketches and following a certain patter, but having one word that could mean sooo many things to different people is so exciting because no two lo's will ever be the same. So here's my entry:

I was trying something different with this LO, hopefully it will be a successful one. I've never used the heide swapp clock so I figured I'd finally give it a try.

Loving Lola

I really wish I had a scanner lol. I love how these LO's turned out. I used Love Elsie's Lola line. It's so colorful and vibrant, I'm really starting to enjoy working with these lines so much. Here are three Lo's of my daughter from the January picture a day (she's grown so much in such a short time).

Tagged yet again (Fours)

Here are the Fours.....

Job's I've Had:
1. My first job was licking envelopes for the municipal court. I think it was some kind of bill I was sending out. It was just like a three day job or whatever but yeah not the best.
2. I then worked at Drug Fair, it's like a pharmacy type place (think Eckerd, Walgreens, CVS etc.) It was a fun job because I worked with some of my best friends, and I even got to work in the photo department. Some people send the freakiest pictures to get printed out hehe.
3. I worked at Lucent Technologies for a summer. I did absolutely nothing but play on the internet and get paid to do it.
4. I worked at Sterns, befor it became Macy's. That was fun. Although the standing up all day isn't so great you just have to keep busy. I worked in the lingere department and let me just say how disgusting it was when people would return underwear, that is still something I would never do.

Couple more pictures

Here's a quick view of California Coast, it was taken while driving on the highway. I wish I could have touched the sand, and I probably would have if I wasn't about to get on a plane in a couple hours. This is the infamous BTC, inside joke for the whores ... she was on the Loser's table this time.
With no cell reception those of us who were absolutely desperate to talk to their nikipoo would try anything to get the slightest bit of reception even making a tin foil hat, Sandy your nuts!
I think every time we were in the car someone would mention taking a picture of the mailboxes, sure enough on our way out I just had to get a picture. I wish I could have stopped and taken a better one but we were following someone. And I wasn't the one driving hehe.
This is a picture of the lake from the dam we were crossing. I loved the different segments in the rock, it really showed you how low that lake was. It was really pretty again I wouldn't have minded getting on their and taking better pictures, but we didn't have time.

Lo's from the Retreat

Here are the Lo's I made at the retreat ...
This is a LO from the weekend before the retreat when we went to the beach. It was her first time there, and our first time there this summer (well technically it was the beginning of fall but you get the idea). Kirk is always good with keeping up with her and chasing her around and having fun, I love taking pictures of the two of them together.

This is one of the pictures that I took in January for a picture a day challenge I was doing, and yes I still have tons from that month that I haven't scrapped yet. But I thought this paper looked really good with this picture so I decided to scrap it finally.

This is another picture of her in her carseat. One of her many uncles gave her this bunny. This is by far one of my favorite lines of paper, it's just too cute and I love browns and the yellows together. Very fall like colors.

Here is the last LO I did, again using the same line of paper as before and extremely simple. The pictures is what I love the most. Her running along the beach trying to chase the birds. I love being able to have moments like this captured in photos.

This double LO was for another circle journal (believe me we probably won't get the originals back till the beginning of next year if we're lucky, too many slackers). The title of the book was to put something you didn't like about the person you love. I put the fact that Kirk sleeps in and I never get to, it's just not fair.

That's all I did at the retreat (well I binded a couple of mini books together but I never physically did any altering to it just binded the pieces together. I had so much fun and got so much done that I can't wait for the next retreat.
