K & R

October is month full of birthdays, family members and friends both. Almost every week in October I know someone who is having a birthday. This week two of my very best friends and co-workers had birthdays just one day apart. We did lunch and then back at the office we had cupcakes that I made, both lunch and the cupcakes were delish. I whipped up cards for both girls and thought I would share them today. I'm not really a card maker, but I also have stopped buying cards because I refuse to spend six or seven dollars on something that most people just toss anyway. With as much scrapbooking stuff that I have making a card is not a problem so that's what I did.

Very simple cards, but I think super cute. I also did some embossing on both and even sprayed the top with one with some Heidi Swapp color shine. It didn't take me 15 min to create both cards and the envelopes for them. That's my kind of craftiness. :)

And since its Friday and the cupcakes were Auh-maz-ing I couldn't show them, but I mean can you really go wrong with chocolate cake with a surprise in the middle (a mini reese's) and peanut butter frosting? I think not. I found the recipe on Pinterest and had to try it out and I'm so glad that I did. Of course her recipe called for you take make the cake from scratch I think not, I mean who has time for that?? But the frosting is a keeper for sure. Here's to a great weekend!!

Golden Hour

Aww.... the golden hour! During the Fall its amazing and I'm always trying to think of reasons to take pictures when the sun is just  right in the sky. Today with out reason I just decided to snap a couple quick pictures and just watch the sky for a bit. I love it. But with it comes the understanding that the days are getting shorter and before I know it by the time I get home from work it'll be dark outside. Right now I have about 45min once I get home to enjoy daylight before it starts to get dark on me. So maybe that was my reason in taking a few quick pictures today. Because in a couple of weeks I won't be able to.

It really is the best time of day to enjoy, I think. I've always loved the winter, but fall runs a pretty tight race.

Birthday Wish list

 

 

 

So my birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks (Nov. 5) and I've been searching the net for all kinds of goodies to add to my wish list that way the Mister can't say he didn't have a clue about what to get me. While I don't mind being surprised as far as gifts go, sometimes there are specific things that I want and I try to make sure he knows about those too. ;) These are just a few items that I've had my eye on lately and believe me there are a lot of others things that I'll be adding to my Christmas list too!!!

 

1. camera bag  I've been on the hunt for a new camera bag for awhile now and I'm loving this one.

2. hat  I've been seeing so many people wear hats during the Fall and I WANT ONE TOO. I'm not sure I'll be able to pull of the Fall hat, but I'm going to give it a try.

3. pink typewriter  OMG, a typewriter doesn't really have to be pink, I could go for a teal or black one even, but how cute is this pink one?

4. Instax printer you know I love my Instax camera, I mean it stays in my purse and I pull it out any given time. How awesome is it that this printer prints pictures from your phone!?!??! Plus its has

Wi-Fi and uses batteries.... double score.

5. cupcake plates  one word... CUTENESS. I mean you don't even need a reason to want these they are so cute that I think everybody should have them.

 

We'll see how well the hubs does and what one he goes with. I can't wait.  

  

Journaling Bible

Happy hump day!! It's the middle of the week which the weekend is fast approaching....wahoo!! Wanted to share some more of my page from my journaling Bible. I'm still loving this idea and look forward to doing each week. When I started this I knew that I didn't want it to just be a glorified coloring book. I wanted it to be something that helped me to understand God's word better and to get more out of the messages that are preached on Sundays. And so far I think it's seem to be helping with both of these. I now take notes during church, which I never did before and I pay more attention to the service. So yes, this is a very good thing in so many ways. 

I still don't want to cover up any of the words with paint or anything, but who knows maybe in time I will. 

Project Life week 36 & 37

TGIF!!!! Hello and happy Friday all. Sorry I haven't been around for awhile, but wanted to pop in really quick today to share a couple of week of my project life album. Where is this year going?? Crazy that Halloween is here and before we know Thanksgiving and Christmas. I can't believe the Christmas stuff and the countdown to Christmas is already here. Its true Monday-Friday I wish my life away while I'm at work ONLY, but dang time sure does seem to be flying by. Anyway back to weeks 36 and 37, nothing grand or anything about these spreads just kind of threw them together so I could move onto the next week. But I'm totally okay with that to be honest. I mean its my book and I can do it however I want right?!



This week started off with the rest of our girls weekend trip and ended with date night. A fun week if I do say so myself.

Week 37 was a pretty good week too. It started off with a little 4-wheeler adventure that last for a few hours (so much fun) and ended with another OU football game. Trying to plan some Fall adventures too and hoping that it all works out. What about you any fun Fall adventures? Have a great weekend.
