My favorite time of the year!
To bad it always seems to go by so quickly though.  Today I spent a good part of my day decorating the inside of my house for Halloween and fall.  That meant putting away all the florals I had all over the house and lugging up 6 totes filled with Halloween stuff.  Did I mention it was my favorite time of the year!

Here is a mini book I'm working on about little details about Ryan that I want to be remembered.

Part of the September Work in Progress Kit - mini book purchased seperately (see post below regarding obsession with mini books)

This is one of my favorite pictures of Ryan.  It's his 5th birthday and the last one we got to celebrate with him.  His shirt read "Buzzing through the 90's). ...

I've been trying to complete some projects lately.  Its funny I seem to be drawn to mini books and unfinished albums EVERY time I go to any store.  Debbie's addiction is paper as I will always joke with her to "step away from the paper".  But now I'm starting to see my addiction and its as clear as my blog banner that I need to start completing some projects.
I plan on finishing up a girlfriend...

For Kim's birthday in July we all went in and got her these fun dishes that were shaped like flip flops with platters, tea light holders, and dessert dishes.  She said she was having a party with us all to use her dishes. 
When Kim says somthing, she means it!  We all got together at her house last night and even though we are getting away from the flip flop season, had our party!
It was fun...

The kids had homecoming this weekend and we were camping!  So needless to say it was a busy weekend.  Thank goodness the camp ground was nearby so I could run into town and snap some pictures of the group.  Here's some of my favorites.

Recently I've really noticed the sunrise and sunset and how beautiful they can be, though I can never seem to capture their beauty on film, here is my attempt
These are all the sunrise this morning when taking Zach to school




 
These are the sunset the other night when we went to the park for a walk with the dog



Okay this is not a sunset, but I just loved the look...

After spending the weekend organizing my scraproom I decided to take some updated pictures.

I had made into a 12 X 12 at scrapbook pictures. I love this picture! I wanted to scrap the picture but I didn't want to cover it. Finally I decided to add some details to the bottom and call it a layout!

Oh how could it be that four years have passed since that dreadful day in Metro Hospital? Our family will never be the same without you.
Missing you always,
Your sister

I had to get the Work In Progress October special edition kit to play with.
Today I just played with the Making Memories pumpkin. I cut my paper from the kit to 8" talk so I could use them in the book, then with the left over pieces I tore apart the papers and then added them to the pumpkin with mod podge, after inking the edges. Once it dried I used and exacto knife and sandpaper and sanded all the...
