Feels Like Fall

Morning everyone..feels like a fall day in Alabama this morning. Of course I'm sure by afternoon it will be hot again. Right now it feels really crisp and cool..love it!!! I found out Gemma doesn't like the cool weather...she wants out to do her business but she wants to go right back inside..LOL don't know what she will do when it gets cold.

Well-I'm wondering what all of you are up too..not many of you are leaving me a message..sure would like to hear from you..the only way I know that people are actually coming in is the page counter and the amount of downloads on the freebie..LOL come on leave me a comment and make my day today..

I have some great things to show you today so get comfortable!

One of my new Halloween Sets is in the store now..the other has passed quality check and will be added sometime today for sure..here's a little preview..

all HALLOWS copy

This is one of my favorite pictures of my oldest GS Josh when he was barely 2 years old and yes..I have the year wrong on this page..just noticed it...(just chalk it up to feeble mindlessness) I used paper from Kim's new grab bag and a frame from Jenni at Chaos Lounge..elements are from brushes and ding bats..

Now for some really beautiful pages from my awesome CT

SAS-y-Challenges-002-Cameron-Week-Three-#1

This is Cameron and the layout was done by O2BNGdHope she said "Cameron, is 90% angel. The other 10% is questionable" LOL..used wa from my Little Boys Set..and it seems perfect for Cameron...great page love it..

PLAYING HOOKEY

Good Morning Everyone...don't faint because I'm actually here today!! Let me tell you its been one thing after the other these past few days, power went out for awhile, cable also went out, Arthur and Bertie really acted up for a couple of days, I think its the rain and cooler days we have been having..I'm going to see if my Doctor..(I sometimes have my doubts if he really is one LOL) will refer me to a rhrumatoligist. Rheumatoid arthritis runs in both sides of my family so I've been thinking this may be something I am going to have to live with. Now don't laugh but I also have gout in my big toe...I had it before in my foot..but just my toe...but let me tell you one toe hurts as much as 5 of the buggers..I shed a few tears because of that pain...My baby Gemma just didn't understand her mommy crying..she was so sweet...and stuck to me like glue..even me hobbling around made her just walk a little slower and not dance around like she usually does..isn't it funny that pets seem to have a 6th sense when you are not yourself..OK I promise no more gripping and complaining!!!

First let me tell you I have 2 new Word Art sets coming out I hope before the week is over..they are Halloween Haunts, and Halloween Titles...I know its a bit early but Halloween will be here before we know it...I love them and I hope you will also..I well let you know when they are in the store.

For all you kitty lovers Kim B has a wonderful mini kit (FREEBIE TOO) on her Blog today...Its a birthday present for Sylvia a CT member and good friend..stop by her Blog today and wish her Happy Birthday.

WOO HOO Fridays Here..Football Saturday

Hi Everyone..

Guess everyone is glad its Friday..I sure am..that means Auburn has a game on TV tomorrow..Auburn is Auburn University in Auburn Alabama, there's another university here University of Alabama..now if you live in Alabama you know that's a rivalry that has been on going since I don't even know when, longer than I have been alive..and you are for one or the other..can't be for both...some nice folk in the state are for both teams, until they place each other and then everyone has their favorite..my brother-in-law is for Bama, he graduated from there, I found out the first year he was in the family we could NEVER discuss football..he told my sister I was the most obnoxious Auburn fan he had ever met..wonder if that's because I sent him a cross stitched little saying about Auburn and Alabama which of course put Auburn in the good light..lol..

Auburn used to never win a game until Pat Dye came to town..that changed the whole football program, we started winning and we haven't stopped..I think we have a 5 or 6 year winning streak going on..but I've learned not to run my mouth and brag because its anyones guess who will win that game..Auburn football team is called the Tigers, but their team Mascot is a beautiful Eagle..so the chant is go War Eagles..whose name by the way is Tiger..LOL but thats a story for another day...we play LSU tomorrow and it could go either way..but I'm rooting for my war eagles..

My new Word Art Bundle is in the store now..Here's a page I  made using it. Remember I sell exclusively at

DSO

LR_HereKitty_Wordart_Bundlers

forever friends copy

I made this page and its a combination of my word art and some goodies from Kims new grab bag I'm going to show you today.. Josh bought this rat whose name was Tiny, when she was a tiny little white mouse..the Lady at the pet store told him you could train them...and he did..he knew his name, would come when Josh called him, and he followed him around everywhere when he was out of his cage...we had a Cat named Floyd at the time. Josh was scared to death one day when Floyd was in the house and he couldn't find Tiny...everyone thought Floyd had made a meal out of Tiny, Josh had a flashlight and he looked under the bed and this is what he found...we all were floored but they remained friends until Tiny caught a cold and passed away...there's another story there I will tell you later.

I have a few pictures to show you from my CT

WHOOPS....I OVERSLEPT

The kids spent the night last night and I conked out on them...and I also overslept..They woke me up at 10:00 when their Dad came to get them...they are going to their other grandmothers out of town today...Chase was 19 on Friday and Josh will be 21 in October.  I'm thinking it's to give them their birthday money. I still I haven't had my big inspection.  I told Chase this morn. if they didn't come today, we had to mop and wax again over the weekend..Did you know I couldn't find any Floor Wax..they have mop and glow and Pledge floor finish,and other such things, but I could not find any plain ole fashioned floor wax.  I looked at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Big Lots, Family Dollar, Dollar General, and Grocery Stores, only places I haven't looked is Lowe's .  I am going to look their tomorrow..Floors just don't hold a shine with those other floor mop and wax products.

They must have been hungry too..LOL..Chase hasn't hasn't been working this week..they have a new job starting next week.. so I imagine they ate all of their groceries.  I had some canned ravioli and beefaroni, ramen noodles, and tuna fish I got for them to eat when they pop in hungry...and man did they eat LOL..cleaned out my stash. They also brought a huge basket of clothes to wash but they got disappointed about that..I am out of washing detergent..LOL Got to get me some tomorrow..so they left them in the laundry room..guess they will come back tomorrow and wash them..

Hey, I need for you all to pop over to DSO and check out my photo op challenge... You just have to alter your picture in some way and tell us how you did it and you will receive a posting bonus..this is it..
