Life gets in the way…

No excuse, just haven’t been by for a bit. I haven’t really been doing anything productive, just putting things off lol. I didn’t really do that many pages last week, so I spent some time organizing some files and setting up some tracking pages so that maybe I don’t have so many sticky notes cluttering up my desk! But I do have lots of great stuff to share this week, so here I am!

This is what’s new, in stores, and on sale this week!

Valorie Wibbens has her Add-Ons to Memory Pockets Monthly:

Even though I didn’t come by last week, I did update the gallery with my new pages. You can check them out there if you so desire 🙂 Hope you have a great rest of the weekend!!

TGIF

Love Friday evenings. They are my “do nothing” evenings…no chores, no cooking (well, I did pop a pizza in the oven), no homework…just staring blankly at the internet for a bit and sometimes cuddling on the couch with my dog and the little guy. And that was the idea behind one of my pages for this week using Let’s Stay Home by River~Rose:

Let's Stay Home by River~Rose

And It’s October, and that means thinking about all the great scary ghoulish things going on! A couple of years ago around this time we visited the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. It is such a cool place! I would love to go back and do one of their paranormal tours sometime! I couldn’t resist using the photos I took there with Danyale’s new kit – Haunted Halls! Her Halloween kits are always amazing!

Life in Pockets

I said I would come back and update my Life in Pockets today and figured I had better do that before I start putting it off again. Especially since you can get such a great deal on Traci Reed’s Pocket Life ’15: September Collection at such a great price right now! I love this one!! The colors are fabulous and the cards and elements are not to be missed! Here are this week’s pages from me:

Happy Friday!!

So glad to see Friday get here!! It has been a busy and tiring week. Time to recharge the batteries and get some neglected things done. Hopefully there will be time to get outside and do some things before the weather starts turning colder. We had 6 trees cut down in our yard this week, so everything is in a bit of a mess.

I have a few pages to share this evening, and all these kits are live and on sale now!

First up, September Wolff Pack by Amy Wolff. I love everything about these pieces. I paired up the new releases with her kit Think Happy Be Happy.

I’ll be back tomorrow with updates on my Life in Pockets and Traci Reed’s new Pocket Life Collection…yay!! Have a great Friday night! Peace, out…

Sunday comes so fast…

Man, do the weekends ever fly by! Chilly and rainy Sunday here. I am so not ready to let go of summer! I think I would enjoy fall a whole lot more if it didn’t mean that winter was right behind or if I didn’t have a ton of leaves to deal with in the mean time. But it’s coming whether I like it or not. I did get my first Pumpkin Spice Latte on Friday and that makes me very happy! Plus football has started!

Swinging by here this morning to show off some of the amazing designs that I had the pleasure of working with this week. You can still catch them on sale and they are all fabulous!!

First up… I am so excited to now be a part of Sahin Designs Creative Team. Here designs are so amazing!! This one is called Monochrome Fall and it’s available at The Digital Press and her Personal Store.

Ahhh Labor Day

Starting school earlier this year was not on my list of favorite things ever, but I have to say it is nice to have a little break after only a couple of weeks. Usually we have to wait until Thanksgiving for a day off. I’m trying to enjoy every minute of it and not rush through all I have to do like normal weekends. I meant to come by earlier today to share this week’s pages, but I worked on catching up on my Life in Pockets a bit this morning and then mowed grass this afternoon. Mom came by for a bit and then it was time to cook dinner.

Lots of beautiful new stuff this weekend and there’s still time to get it on sale! I have a few layouts using BYOC products at TLP…mixing and matching by Etc. by Danyale, Amy Wolff, and Valorie Wibbens. You can still catch these on sale if you hurry 🙂

Ahhh Sunday

Sundays are bittersweet. They are so nice and relaxing, no pressure to do anything except make sure everything is ready for the upcoming week. But there is the bitter part – upcoming week. It’s all good, routines are nice sometimes.

Stopping by here quickly to share my pages for this week. My guest spot at TLP is coming to an end. It’s been super fun and I hope I get the chance to work with all of them again. And also, if you haven’t see the news, Amy Martin is retiring and her store will be closing tomorrow. This makes me very sad. She was one of the reasons I started shopping at TLP and I will miss her templates a lot! She does have a fantastic sale going on, so get there before they are gone – Amy Martin Shop.

On to the pages:

First up is Enjoy the Ride by ForeverJoy Designs. Absolutely gorgeous kit!!

I still need to catch up on my Life in Pockets pages and I hope to do that in the next day or two. I just need to get my photos in order. Thanks for looking and I hope everyone has a fantastic rest of their Sunday! Peace, out…

Layout overload…

I’m a bit behind on posting again. My only excuse this time is trying to get back in to the swing of being back at work. What a crazy week! And I don’t feel any more prepared for my students than when it started. We have relatively little time actually working in our classroom. Most of the time is spent in meeting after meeting. But, as I always say, the kids will come…ready or not!

Anyway, I thought I would take the time to come by and share my pages in case anyone is interested in checking out these amazing kits while you can still get them on sale!!
