Blog Update

Wow I can't believe September is coming to an end in the morning. Where did the time go-oh I know in my gas tank, and check book. ahh I mean running kids from soccer practice and student counsel meetings, plus just regular shopping that has to be done.
Now fall is in bloom here in the East Coast and it's breath taking, I walked to my daughters school last night to meet her so we could walk home together, I truly enjoyed the art canvas that was in front of me, God's beauty showing me a peaceful simple life and breath in the fresh cool air and remember all He has given, blessed and taught me through the years.
With that I am getting prepared for the ladies workshops I will be teaching in November at our Women's Retreat. Putting kits together is hard work, but also very fun!!
Well it's time to drive Emilee to school and I have one sick girl staying home today. Plus I have a Quilt show to drive today so it will be a late night. Enjoy this wonderful day, snap a photo or two and make a memory.

Under the Weather

This morning I woke up to not feeling myself. Excuse me for a moment, running nose, achie bones, full sinus pain. Not to mention waiting for the coffee pot to finish perking so I could have my first cup of coffee this morning. Boy I needed and it took forever, plus I had to drive my oldest to school half an hour early. ahhh I just wanted coffee!!
Now it's the afternoon even though I have been in my studio all day cleaning, creating and blogging. That's a job in it self, now the slight cough and sore throat is coming NOOOOOOO I can't get sick now, to much to do!!
Creating for a fall scrapbooking class, and creating card classes must be done. Soccer games are coming up plus this weekend is Home Coming for our High School-which means I will be running Olivia around and supporting all the games on Saturday. Plus the kittie has her first vet appt. Man I'm glad I don't work right now, where would I find the time to eat, sleep and clean.. Who knows but I do love being a Mom and Wife, just not with a cold. Mom's don't get sick days...isn't that the fact.
Sorry for rambling on and on, I think I need some more coffee...

Thanks for listening.

Inspiration pics found!! enjoy

Here are some things little crafty things I made a few years back for a Christmas sale. These first cards were so popular, they were so simple to make. Just take greens apart and rearrange them to make a design.

bookmark tags

love making these clipboards

more holiday tags with a vintage feel.

Sorry for lack of blogging.

I am so sorry for my lack of blogging here at creative scraps, our summer has turned out to be pretty busy even if it is raining. Now that summer camps are over, babysitting for me is done, now I thought things would slow down nope, Lee has vacation starting this weekend, I have a scrapbook retreat and right in the middle of that we have a family bbq for my nephew before he leaves again of Iraq. Plus I want to get the living room done so my studio can be mine again, everything is a mess.

The girls only have 5 weeks left of summer vacation, and the last three weeks soccer starts ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, don't schools know that kids need a break.

anyway, life is moving fast and I want to enjoy the little moments spent with my family. more to come.
