a Bit of This and That

Golly, where did the time go???
Being sick can REALLY throw me off.
Back to life here.
We have celebrated two more birthdays since my last post.

Been making cold medicine runs like nobody's business.
Trying out some new recipes, some failures, some keepers.
And doing a bit of scrapping.

Everything on the LO is by Sahlin Studio.

Plans for November

I am going to toss in a few of my latest LO's for your viewing pleasure while you read.

I have been thinking about November, the month that kicks off BUSY season for us around here.

In Nov. we have an anniversary, Thanksgiving (which will be at our house), some friends and family b-days, home bible studies start, etc.

I also need to nail down and wrap up (literally and figuratively) Christmas gifts.

Figure out something for hubby and I to do for our 20th ann.

Start getting goodies for DD's upcoming 16th b-day.

Hubby and the kids are going to concerts out of town (two separate places) this Friday.  I am staying home and organizing our photos.  Ugggh!  They are a mess.

windows

so i have a thing with windows.
doesn't everybody?

i love windows. 
the light they let into the house.
the view.
the ability to spy on your neighbors.
(you know you do too.)
it is one of the big reasons we bought our house.
we have two windows walls.
everywhere you go in our house there's windows.
cleaning them it another matter in and of itself.

yet windows-at night-well they need to be TOTALLY and completely covered.
no gaps, no room for eyeballs to peek through!
especially when we lived next door to two families from church.
you know eyeballs like on Count Olaf's ankles.
like the one's in the isles during Halloween.

anyway, have a great day and cover your windows!

We're back form a quick trip to visit my mom and stepdad in the Az. mountains.

It was a relaxing trip.

Had a day just about to myself so I scrapped!

Here's one of a dandelion in Pinetop, Az.

I think I have a new favorite...my friends baby.

Trying to get a family photos.  Son was being playful.

A cute crop of the family photo.
