Crazy Beautiful Life: Fall

Fabulous Autumn

Hello. I love Fridays. I love sleeping in on Saturdays (if Brianna lets me..haha). I can't sleep in too long tomorrow though because I have a MUCH needed hair appointment with my stylist. :) "Make me beautiful!" I always tell her. Bless her heart, she tries. :-/

It feels like it's been a while since I last posted. I haven't been feeling so great. You know how you instinctively know when something's not right with your body? Well, it's hard to explain but I feel strange--something's not right. I'm in the process of changing doctors and hopefully I'll know what's going on with me soon. Maybe it's just exhaustion and stress. I don't know. How much can you push before your body says, "No More!".

-----------------------------

Remember the Basic Grey "Indian Summer" I was so gung ho about? I received it, and sadly, it sat on my desk for nearly 3 weeks before I started it. When I did begin working on it I was excited until I noticed it was getting really thick. I knew by the time I finished it, it would be even thicker (and barely close). So--lost my attention on that and let it sit some more. LOL I finally finished it (don't want to look at or even work with this line for a LONG time) and it's a pretty fat "mini" if you ask me. Taking pictures was tough.

I'm only showing a couple of the pages here. If you'd like to see all of them, I've created a photo album for it. You can find it down on the right hand side under "Photo Albums" or simply click here. Once there, click on the thumbnails and see the larger version. :)

Enjoy your weekend. :)

Halloween Happenings

Hi! Did you have a great weekend or what? Ours was awesome! Brianna really had a blast the entire weekend, especially on Halloween. :) She trooped along joyously in spite of the runny nose and cough she's had for the past 4 days. She's not running a fever, thank God, but still keeping a careful eye on her for that. We DO NOT want pneumonia to reappear!

This is going to be a picture heavy post--I'm rolling a couple of days worth into this one post. Haha! Most posts will be like this from here on out. If Jeff can catch a break and get to a computer, he enjoys reading and seeing pictures of what's going on here at home. :)

First off, I'd like to show you what Brianna gave her little classmates for Halloween on Friday. It was really precious. I showed up at her school early to pick her up and brought these. She got to pass out each little bag to her friends. She totally loved it!!

Pumpkin Carvin' 101:

On Thursday evening I seriously thought Brianna would ditch me for some cartoons and leave me to carve pumpkins all by my lonesome. In previous years, she's wanted nothing to do with the pumpkin goo and guts. That little munchkin shocked her mama! She dove right in there this year...had it up to her elbows and everything! lol We had so much fun together!!!

Here she is on Halloween in her costume:

It was so windy!! No wonder she didn't want to take pictures. Haha!!

Alright, that's about it for now!

Match Made in Heaven....

Do you ever get so freakin' excited about something scrappin' related and you feel downright cheesy for feeling that way? That's me right now. :)

From the moment I saw the Basic Grey line "Indian Summer"--I was drooling and in love with the gorgeous colors and patterns--so rich---did I say gorgeous already?!

I knew I had to have pretty much EVERYTHING there was to buy when it came to this line...and it would be expensive....so I've been waiting. Well, got an email from A Cherry on Top about 2 hours ago..and couldn't resist. All the new Basic Grey is 10% off right now and they also have a super $2.99 flat rate shipping promotion on orders of $40.00 or more.

Here's the code: 299SHIP

Why am I so excited? This is one of those times when I'm so happy that I never scrapped these pictures of Brianna from last year! It was a little Fall Photo Shoot we did --using my outside display. Can you say "PERFECT MATCH"?

There's a ton of pictures from this shoot that I dearly love so I'm making me a mini!!

Until then, I'm camping out at my front door with my coffee ---waiting on Mr. FedEx Man to come with my pretty package. :)

Warm it Up!

Wow! It's Friday already. Where does the time go? I wanted to jump online and post before I head out for a full day of shopping...gotta love those tax free back to school days! :)

For the Pre-challenge "Warm it Up" being hosted at Candy Shoppe Designs, I created a little Fall Mini Book. I've been wanting to do this...so thank you Lynnette for the motivation! :)

Every year I look forward to setting up a Fall display outside. This year, Brianna was eager to help me. Decorating quickly turned into a photo op! I couldn't resist...she was just too darn cute!
