Dear Blog,

I haven't forgotten you, I PROMISE. Really! I even gave you a new look this afternoon to show you just how important you are to me. I will try harder to at least check in here each day and see what you have been up to. You have been a great source of communication with the outside world this past year and I totally appreciate it. And Amy has been here the whole time keeping you company. She even wrote a post with all those great links. Lots of places to click.

What did you say?

Where have I been lately?

Well...Um...Awww....I can explain...



Look me up if you are there too ;)

Guest Design Team Contest

ScrappinMojo are kicking off our guest designer contest this month! And it's going to be a good one! Make sure you check out the rules and responsiblities associated with this contest before you apply. All the guidelines must be followed, no exceptions. If you are chosen as our first ever guest designer you will receive your goodies shortly after Christmas.

Now for the contest: With Thanksgiving just past us and lots of opportunities for family, friends, and fellowship in the month of December, here is your challenge - Use this quotation by W.S. Gilbert as the inspiration for your page - It's not so much what's on the table that matters, as what's on the chairs. The quotation is not required on your layout, however you can include it if you wish. We are super excited about this new aspect of our site and can't wait to see what you create!

Please upload you layout or project to our gallery and link it to the contest thread no later than December 20 midnight PST. We will announce our winner by December 25. GOOD LUCK - we hope that lots of you submit a layout for this!!!

All good things...

must come to an end... I sure wish they didn't have to, but we had such a wonderful week in Anaheim with our favorite friends. We packed the week with all sorts of yummy surprises for the kids and once we get caught up we can unpack each wonderful day of our trip for you. For now, here is one of my favorite photos of our day at the beach.Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I hope your day was filled with yummy food and good conversation and fellowship! I know ours was and I am so thankful for the greatest friends God could have found for our family to share. I can't wait for the next trip!

Scenic Route Sponsor at Scrappin' Mojo

We were so fortunate to be sponsored by the incredible Scenic Route Scrapbooking company this month. They are my go to papers and embellishments so creating was a breeze for me. Here are a few of the projects I worked on for the DT reveal on Saturday. Head over to Scrappin' Mojo to see more. Amy also created an incredible little book that she will hopefully post here very soon ;)

I am totally in to making embellished tags at the moment - here are a few!

A little altered notebook for a friend of mine too.

Kindergarten Turkey Trot

This morning Jackson's class participated in a Jog-A-Thon for Break the Barriers. They ran for 20 minutes and Mr. Jackson ran 17 laps. I was so very proud of him! His little cheeks were all red and shiny when he finished, but he never stopped going. Kaden even ran for part of the time too. He held his own with the Big Dogs, LOL! Here are a couple of pics from the day.

GO BOYS GO!!!!!!

Make sure to stop by Scrappin' Mojo tomorrow for our November Sponsor Reveal. We received some VERY yummy stuff to work with and I have been having lots of fun creating!!!

My little witches ...

Here is a pic of Rachel in her costume ... she was not into the green make-up, but she did look so cute!!!And here she is with Jennifer the cat. Jason said this was mean, but the cat did not seem to hate it too much! And Rachel thought it was cool to be dressed like the cat :)

Happy November
