My free kit from Life Preservers

I love to hang out at Life Preservers because the women there are such sweethearts and are just a joy to chat with!! The owners Von and Frank are just as equally wonderful! They are constantly giving out prizes and gifts. So I wanted to share with you all my new layouts from a kit that I recently won. I won the December Alternate kit that was filled with tons of goodies from the Sassafras Lass Amplify line!

Spreading some Christmas cheer!

Right now I am just beside myself!! I actually took the time to make all of my Christmas cards. First year ever! Yeah me!! Not only have I had fun making these cards but I know whoever receives them will know how much I love and care for them with just a simple card that says "Merry Christmas"! That's what this season is all about, right?!?! Enjoy!!

Autumn Splendor layout and cards

This month's kit from Color Me Daisy is called "Autumn Splendor" and it truly is a kit filled with a lot of splendor-ific supplies!! It is a beautiful mix of Dream Street's Sam and MLYB's Autumn Bliss. Also thrown in the mix is some Maya Road velvet flowers, fabric tags, rub-ons, chipboard houses, and the gorgeous Maya Road kraft envelopes. Michelle still has a few kits left if anyone is interested!!

This layout is for our monthly sketch challenge by Julie Bonner. Always fun to use one of her sketches! Here is my oldest son standing outside by the house where I was trying to catch some of the color of fall. Now a days, I'm so grateful just to get a good picture of him let alone any picture of him. He's growing up and has a mind of his own!!



Also throwing in a couple of cards that I've made with the kit.





Wishing you all a the happiest of holidays and a tummy full of turkey on Thursday!! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Halloween Night

I swear, kids are like a fine wine. They just keep getting better with time until they hit the teenage years. But that's a whole other post!! Halloween keeps getting better and better with Josh and Gracie! As you can see in the pic, Josh was a dragon and Gracie was a princess mermaid. How cute are they?!?!?!

We had a very interesting night! It rained on us!!! We did manage to get 75% of our trick-or-treat route completed. Luckily we were on our way home when it really started to pour. We only let it add to the fun. The kids were laughing while trying to run in their costumes. The main thing was not to let it rain on the candy!! Mission accomplished and it was a Halloween to remember!

Halloween Dinners

Halloween always seems to the greatest time of the year to get creative with dinners! The kids love eating them almost as much as I love to make them! Tonight we ate Sea Monster and it was so tasty! We each got to choose which part of the sea monster we were going to eat. Chad got the head, Chris got the throat and the heart, Josh got the stomach, Gracie ate the lower intestines, and yep, you got it, I got the butt!! I tried not think about it while I was eating! LOL!! Here's a picture of it.





Here are some pics of the other dinners I've made for the kids.

Dead Man's Casarole and Mummy Dogs



Spider Web brownie

I lost the spider that was suppose to adorn this dessert. Actually, I think I had some help loosing it!



Ghosts in the graveyard

This dinner hasn't happened this year but will on Saturday. These are pictures from last year.





And lastly, I have to post a picture of the pumpkin that was left up to Mom to finish. I really didn't mind because it was fun to carve! The kids loved it!




Hope everyone is having a very Happy Halloween filled with fun and nothing but sweetness!


Until next time!!
