Crisp Days of Fall

I know it's snowing in some parts, but it just doesn't do that here in South Texas! Do some people actually have to 'trick- or-treat' in the snow? I can't even begin to fathom that! Our last real recorded snowfall was in January, 1985 and we received 13 inches! Talk about a total fluke of nature. I've basically resigned myself to going to Colorado each year to see some real snowfall. Anyway...enough of the white stuff...

It's been quite cool these last few days...mid 70's with a beautiful, crisp breeze. Puts me in the mood for some pumpkin pie, caramel apples, and some fall layouts...so here's one in honor of the new season:

Take care everyone...be grateful for all of your blessings, and don't sweat the small stuff! 'Til next time!

Scrap Heaven

A little birdie on a scrapbook forum told me that Scenic Route is going out of business (Boo!). I love their stuff! Well, to keep from drowning in my sorrow, I went to their website and dove head first into their clearance section! Nine days later, sitting on my front porch, was a box bursting with 13 pounds of pure scrappy goodness. Here's a peek at part of my new stash!

And I must give a shout out to the best scrappy buddy ever, who always manages to find the best deals and includes me in them...my supporter and enabler, otherwise known as txzrock (Zandra). Thanks for my goodies. The occasion? Just 'cuz she has the biggest heart ever! You're the best!

To add to all of my excitement, my first ever layouts were published this month. And, I found out this past week that I had more acceptances for publication in Scrapstreet.com and Scrap N' Art magazines.

Wow, I am basking in scrap heaven! Thanks for everyone's support!!
