favorite candy? um, that would be like asking me which child is my fave (well, if i had more than one :p). right now i have sour patch kids, white chocolate & milk duds in the pantry... along with skittles & caramel kisses at my desk, and there's plenty more hiding elsewhere. so yeah, i totally can't choose.

Your Autumn Sense is Touch

You are a very tactile, physical person. Your favorite fall activities revolve around doing something. Whether you're going for a hike, cooking Thanksgiving dinner, or decorating for Halloween, you like to keep moving. You like the feel of crisp fall air as well as you like the feel of a roaring fire at night. You like invigorating mornings, perfect afternoons, and cozy nights. Whatever feeling fall brings to you, you embrace.

What's Your Autumn Sense?

Work is Hard. Time for Blogthings!

So today I want to know what kind of shopper you are…do you start early, do you wait until the last minute, do you pick things up throughout the year??

i'm somewhere in between. i don't start super early like i used to, but my son's bday is just a couple weeks before xmas... so i sort of have to to start a bit early because i shop for both at once. when his bday gets here, i pull a few things out of the stash and wrap them up. the rest are saved for xmas.

i don't really shop for anyone else, besides dh. we'll give the adults (mom, dad, siblings, etc) gift cards and i don't really considering that shopping. :p for those, we do tend to wait 'til the last minute though, just because there's no sense of urgency. it's not like they'll run out of them, right? and there's no wrapping involved. so yeah, we don't rush to buy those.

You Are a Pumpkin Latte

You are energetic and fun loving. You get into the spirt of every season, but fall is definitely your favorite time. You are excited for the change of seasons, and you love the spirit and togetherness it brings. You love to do everything related to fall - whether it's celebrating Halloween and Thanksgiving or going to check out the changing leaves. You truly immerse yourself in the season. You always miss autumn when it's gone, but you make the most of it while it's here.

Here's what I did with it... using a pumpkin patch pic from last fall.and then I grabbed this collab by Sahlin Studio and Decrow Designs (Sept guest at SM).

woot! come celebrate with us!

woot! it's time to celebrate a Libby Lou Crew victory! yep, that's right... we WON the battle of the creative teams at DSA. on behalf of the entire team, i'd like to thank everyone who supported us with comments on our layouts (and, of course, your votes!)

soooo, to celebrate, Libby has posted a generous coupon on her blog. go snag it now and do some quick shopping because this is the last day to use it!

thanks again!

we're supposed to blog about songs we're into right now... but i'm kind of useless when it comes to this topic. i barely listen to new music anymore. it's usually on in the car, but not always. our house is totally wired w/speakers in each room, but we stick to our old faves. so yeah, i don't listen to new music. most of it kinda sucks these days. :p

ssd fob2y 8/6

i'm running behind on this one, but here goes... a pic of somewhere we've been in the last month (my parents' backyard).

Sya's new grab bag

Sya has a fab new grab bag! It's definitely a deal since you get THREE products for the price of 1. ;)
I combined one of the templates with Jill's new kit, Dessert.
Then I made some slight modifications to another template and came up with this (using a new kit from La Grier, coming out tomorrow... so you can't see the preview yet :p).
TFL!! :)

DSA Battle of the CTs -- Round 3 Voting!

The Libby Lou Crew would love your vote! :) This week was tough... well, the actually scrapping went pretty quickly (for me, anyway). The planning stages were tough though. We all had to use the same "formula" for our page. Everything was assigned a number -- 10, 9, 8... all the way down to 1. So here's what we came up with (after many, many lists!)...

10-staples
9-papers
8-stitches
7-buttons
6-ribbons
5-flowers
4-photos
3-frames
2-alphas
1-font

Image is clickable to my gallery. Now head over to DSA and cast your vote! :)

Sweet Shoppe Saturday!

i've been a bad blogger, but i'm back! well, hopefully. :p so here are the fab kits i've worked with this week!

Libby has this fun new collab that works for so many layouts -- zoo pics, nurseries or just crazy kids. hehe. i paired it with her new kraft paper pack and a font scoop from Darcy and Melissa.




up next is this summery kit from Traci. i snuck in one of Darcy's new date tabs also.
and finally here's some fun stuff from my NEW guest spot with Lauren Grier. the alpha is also available separately in a layered version so you can customize for any kit -- great for any stash. ;)


everything's clickable so you can head to the store and do some shopping OR go leave some love on my layouts. as always, everything's 20% off saturday only! TFL :)
