Happy Birthday (cards)

I've made a few birthday cards this month.Two being for Ros and Kathryn's birthdays (see post below).

And both my Mom and Dad's birthdays are in October so I decided to make their cards this year too.
All of the cards say "Happy Birthday" inside except for my father's card. It says this,
It fits him and everyone, including him, thought that it was funny. My husband is the one who picked that stamp out just for a card for my father. It was a perfect match. I've got some other scrappy stuff hopefully coming soon, but that's all I've got for now.

Spooky enough to eat

 I made these Halloween themed cupcakes for a lady I work with (her birthday was the 25th). I think they turned out pretty cute. I love to make cupcakes, but wish I was better at it. I know they say practice makes perfect so I guess that means I need to make more cupcakes. (hehe)
 I love the way the ghosts turned out and thought they were perfect as toppers.
A closer look at the ghosts.
I've done a lot of cupcakes/cake this past week and I know I just said practice makes perfect, but I'm hoping not to practice for a couple of weeks. (hehe). Thanks for stopping by.

Bethany's Pizzeria

Welcome to Bethany's Pizzeria!! We had our monthly meeting of the minds today over at Bethany's and she made pizza. It was delish. We've only been getting together for a couple of months now and it is so much fun. We talk about everything under the sun, catch  up on whats going on, and of course we eat. We have a good time.



We also celebrated these two ladies birthdays. Rosalind's is tomorrow and Kathryn's is Monday.


Happy Birthday Ladies!!

Of course I had my camera so we took a few pictures.


And a group shot.

Already looking forward to next months "meeting".

Scrapbook Pages


Finally did a scrapbook layout using Studio Calico's October kit, Field Guide. I only got the main kit this month, but wish i would have gotten some of the add on kits too. Nothing to fancy about this page, I had this Instax picture laying around and wanted to use it on a page so this was what I ended up making. I like the way it turned out.


The journaling says, "Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." ~ Robert Brault. I ran across this quote and thought it was perfect for so many reasons.

Since I already had a mess on my desk I decided to do another page using bits and pieces of stuff that was laying close by and this picture that has been on my desk forever. It turned out ok I think. I'm still in a semi-creative mood so hopefully there will be more layouts soon.

Bored

This is what my husband looks like when we are in a store that doesn't interest him. LOL! It was so funny to look up and see him sitting there, ever so patiently (yeah right!). I had to snap a picture of it. 

Love you babe!

#813

I went to Houston this weekend to see David. Got there late Friday night and got home late last night. I love little weekend getaways. I really love them when its to go see my husband. We didn't do a whole lot over the weekend. Saturday we did watch OU kill Texas. Go SOONERS!!

 It rained ALL DAY Sunday. But we were brave and got out in it to do a little shopping and exploring.
That about sums up our weekend. Nothing major, but still good times together.

Hello October

I can't believe we are already well into October. I love Fall. I love the Fall weather and all the colors that go with it. I also love the Halloween/Fall decorations and I've been trying to get those out and work on a few new decorations for both. I'll try to get pictures posted sometime soon. I know some don't consider it to be a blog post when no pictures are posted (I know I don't), but it's been a busy week and I've been gone all weekend so this short post will have to work until tomorrow.

Ride 'em

Got my camera back on Friday. So excited that they got it done so quickly because this evening I went to watch my newphew ride some bulls and of course take some pictures. He did pretty good. It was fun to watch. Here are a few of the shots I got. He rode two bulls and I think on the second one he even rode the full 8 seconds.                                                                                        






This dog stayed inside the reing the whole time they were riding. He helped out a little bit too.
