The only good thing about this is I get to go blog hopping. I ran into a link from another link, well.. you know how it works!  Denise from This scrappers life is having a huge thickers giveaway!  So very generous... go get your name in the hat and spread the word.. you only have until Nov 7th!

Now, please cross your fingers my FB account isn't down for a week or more... I may actually go stir crazy and start cleaning the house and doing laundry! ;)  Have a great weekend!!

I'm into long titles

It's funny the little changes that take place in your scrapping over time.
Right now I am big-time into these constants while scrapping:

  1. Ink and lots of it
  2. Folding paper accordion messy style
  3. bling
  4. long wordy titles
Here's some more of my work over the last week.

I am also considering trying out for a Design Team again. I haven't tried out or been on one in 8 months.... it may be time to throw my hat in the ring. Hope your hump-day is loads of fun!

I am now the mother of a teen.

Sheesh.

You blink and thirteen years FLY by.
Birthday Pie
Happy Birthday Katelyn!

We celebrated with a sleepover birthday party yesterday. Her BFF spent the night last night and K had a couple other friends come over for the pizza pies and the dessert pies.

The girls made their own english muffin mini pizza pies... they liked it.

I spent several hours on Friday making 11 pies. We bought 3 pies at Walmart last week.... 14 pies in total. Can you believe it? We have leftover pie coming out of our ears. I sent a few pies home with my mom yesterday, and everyone had a slice of pie for breakfast. We had apple, cherry, turtle, key lime, oreo, candy crunch, double layer pumpkin, regular pumpkin, strawberry, pecan, and I'm forgetting one. They were all pretty good. So I hear... I haven't actually tasted all of them yet! lol
Pie extravaganza

Love this photo.
Birthday group
See Katelyn's #13 on her shirt... we found that Halloween shirt a couple weeks ago.. how fitting for her to wear it on her milestone into teen-hood.

Oh... these were a huge hit. Their called ghoulish grins or something like that. You mix up an 8oz block of cream cheese, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract. Quarter your apples, cut out a lil notch from the red/green side of the apple, and insert the cream cheese filling. Then throw on some slivered almonds to resemble teeth.
