I so want to do one of these!

Weekend in Phoenix

We spent 4 lovely days with our daughter in Phoenix. Jen is there getting her PhD. We did not really do much other than lots of walking! Just love hanging out with her!

Imaginisce October Sketch Challenge.

Think that just because your kids are older that you cannot carry on your favorite traditions? WRONG! My wonderful  22 year old went along without complaint to the pumpkin patch to pick out this year's pumpkin. He does it because he knows it makes me happy and I love him for that!!

I ran out and bought Imaginisce Apple Cider papers to complete this layout and used the sketch on their blog.

Card Making

I have been playing along with the Thinking Inking challenges at 2 peas. Here is a card I made with a new technique of clear embossing flowers I made.

Got Sketch and Pink Paislee

Got sketch #104.

Weekend at the Cottage

I love keeping the traditions alive even though the kids are 22 and 26! Here is Rob choosing this year's pumpkin. We just go to a small pumpkin patch a few miles down the road. Love this paper from We R Memory Keepers!
