Santa's Workshop

Here's a sneak peak @ our Santa's Workshop.

If you are missing it on Saturday, don't worry we'll have another one in November & December.
But if you'd rather just get the kit, we have that too.

Many have asked, so just to let you know Croptober Fest dressing up is optional.

Wicked!!!

I personally love Halloween! I'm not much on the truly gory, scary stuff, but I love to be able to pretend I'm someone else & dress up without people looking at me funny, like dressing up in the middle of July or something.

Our backdrop for Halloween pics is almost complete. We will start taking pics on Thursday and we have a layout kit to go along with it for $8.

Here's the sample layout
The only item not included in the kit are the letters, but you can come by to get them cut out on our Cricut. Here's our backdrop, thus far.


We still have a few adjustments to make.

Well, if you didn't notice we were featured in the Big Fun on the Bayou Insert in The Courier & The Daily Comet.
We still have a few spots left for Friday night's Croptober Fest. Dressing up is optional, but we will be having several games and contests that evening. Along with snacks & refreshments.
Also, we will be having an early Santa's Workshop on Saturday @ 10AM. We will be scrapping & stamping the day away on cards, gift tags, ornaments, and layouts.

Ranger Danger

Danger -- Ranger is here! Whooooohooooo!!! It's about time. Come check it out I'm too pumped up, just wish it would have been in sooner. I wanted to do some really cool stuff with it for Scrap Pink. I did this great Layout in honor of my "Second Mom" Annette.
She was very dear to me and I was unable to go to her funeral, due to it being in another state and I had just had Claire. I don't think I've been able to feel any closure until I did this layout. Funny how you can say scrapbooking is like therapy and joke about it but in reality I really believe it's been great therapy for me. It causes you to stop and smell the roses or coffee whichever you prefer - mine being coffee of course. So, I've realized over the years that as I scrapbook I reflect. Reflect on my life present, past, & future. Reflect on the meaning of life, the meaning of others around me and it has opened up a new world to me. I take the moments in one by one, whether it be the humming of ABC's by my one year old at the table while bouncing or my sons making a complete disaster of their room claiming they were playing Hurricane. Cuz' hey those make some great pictures and stories to tell. So, let them tear it up, hum it up, drum it up,... because everyone needs to "Bust a Move" once in awhile. We all march to the beat of different drummers even if it means we look a little "white" when we do it. Be not afraid of who you are -- Just Be You!

How Funny!!!

Okay so you know how as mothers we tend to dish out quite a bit of advice all out at once, well this Mom, happens to be the best at it, watch this video, you can't help but laugh. She is a riot. Return to blog after.

So, if you've watched it!!! Don't you see yourself yelling all those things out of breath, in the rush of things. I sure do. I spill out every word I can squeeze in and pray that he or she heard the most important ones. I'm famous for that as we are pulling into parent drop - off (by the way why do they call this parent drop off you are really dropping off students not parents - anyway) as we drive through the line, I began with my speech: "Okay, Seth tell everyone Bye! and you love them, don't forget to listen to your teacher, follow the rules, stay focused on your work, don't bully anyone - be nice "Spread the Honey", and if anyone bullies you tell the teacher" then as the door is closing I'm shouting, "I love you, Bye!" and he is off to school. He's probably saying to himself I've heard the same speech now for the past 3 years Mom - but instead he listens, (or at least I think so) and takes it all in, and leaves. No sassy mouth here. Love that!

I see how the trend over the years has been to just spill the same advice over and over again. You tell your kids the same things that your parents told you, even though you vowed to never be like your parents, but hey you didn't turn out so bad now did you? So, what's wrong with that! Absolutely nothing. Parents need to be consistent and if it ain't broke don't fix it. Do as your parents did.

I don't think it's a bad think to talk with your children and speak to them daily about what you expect out of them. It gives them some guidelines to life. So should you run into some down time with your child talk with them and let them know (just try not to have an emotional outburst)- we can't just assume they know the rules.
