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

Happy Halloween!!!

I will be spending my evening with a daring Indiana Jones, a super sweet skeleton, and a cuddly elephant. Yay! This is one of my favorite days of the year because it is just so darn fun! We will be heading out for Trunk Or Treat at our church in a little bit so I wanted to leave you with my 3 little cuties. (I'm sure Amy will be putting Miss Rachel up a little later too)

4SS kit and closing

Unfortunately, Lisa has decided to close her doors after this month's kit release, but she is having a great blowout sale to end her time there. November's kit is amazing and she also has a fun surprise Christmas kit for sale. Head over there and send her out in style. Lisa, your site will be missed, but I hope to catch up with you somewhere in the future. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Be a Hero - Don't Do Drugs

Yup it is that time of the year at Rachel's school again this year. The theme for anti-drug week is heroes. Today they were asked to dress up as their favourite super hero. Thanks to Jennifer Rachel looked great. You may remember that when we did the walk to cure diabetes in June, our shirts had a logo similar to the Incredibles one - only we had a J - for Jack's Pack. Well Rachel wore that shirt, a red skirt, black tights and boots and we made an incredible mask with paper. As you can see she looked pretty good. Also - since this is her Jack's Pack shirt ... she will be telling everyone who will listen all about Jack and why we do the JDRF walk - always good to spread the word about the Walk to Cure Diabetes!! Tomorrow is camouflage day, no 'theme' on Thursday and Friday is patriotic day.

Oh and last night was the annual ICK fest at our house - well OK Rachel and Jason refer to it as the most fun with vegetables. BUT I so do not like the smell or the feeling of pumpkin carving. I am there to photograph and ooh and ahh over the creations ONLY. I do not cut, scrape or remove any parts of the pumpkin. Anyway here is how they turned out this year - quite cute actually!

Have a great Tuesday!
