Without pictures!

Just a few LOs I made without pics.

Where have I been?

So I have been MIA from my blog........let me see if I can explain.

First, that full time job.......yeah really demands a lot!!!!

Second, the new scrapbook store.......my second home :)

Third, husband has been ill but seems to be headed back to a good place!!!!!!!

In the meantime, I have been doing a lot of cooking and scrapin' to, at least, meet my goal for each month for the whole year of 2008!

My scrapbooking has been leaning toward heritage theme pages, maybe???????

Here is some of my latest

Acylic album

This was a fun acrylic album kit. The class was taught at Scrapbookers Dream by Annette Graham, a very creative diva. This is my take on her album.

January Kit Club

We had our first kit club at Scrapbookers Dream. The technique was masking. Here is my finished page!

Looks like christmas!

Thanksgiving snow

Fall photo

How about a fall photo to go with the season?

Oh buddy, so doggone cute!

Just wanted to do a fall page and my buddy just makes such a great subject to scrap!!!!

Spooky!!!

Wow I can not believe I have not posted to my blog for almost an entire month! I guess there are just too many things happening! This month at Bunko we celebrated Halloween. Here are a few of the pics from our bash!

Drake @ 2

I did this today and just loved the way it turned out. The negative space works great with the big pic. Just love to scrap those memories!

New LOs

What did I say......

Did I mention, in my last post, about grandson and 1st day school pics.

YES I DID!

Here is just a little preview!

SEPTEMBER

September......means to me. First, it is the beginning of the fall season. Oh wonderful Fall, with all the beauty of the changing colors, the comfort of the chill in the air, and back to school. I love taking pictures in the fall. The trees are always so pretty, and pumpkin patches.........how fun! I will be getting my grandson and granddaughters back to school pics, from Iowa, soon. I can't wait to scrap that. OK so I am off to take more fall pics. Layouts on there way!!!

And now a quote:

The air is crisp. The leaves are old. Rake them all - the red and gold. Scoop them up. The pile's so tall! Jump right in! I just love Fall!

Today is.........

My son and my MIL birthdays! Today Iwill spotlight them.

Zoo

Drake visited the Lincoln Park Zoo this summer. Here is a LO with a few pics from his trip.

Summer is here!

Wow it took long enough but summer is finally here! With temps in the 90's and heat index in the upper 90's to 100. Sure wish I had a swimming pool. I am glad my grandson does!

Just a few from the weekend!
