The Fall has arrived

It is really starting to look like fall around here. The weather the last few days has been really nice, but they are saying the rainy, cold days are coming back tomorrow. So I thought I would take a few pictures of what fall looks like in my yard.

This is a tree in my front yard. It is just starting to change colors.

And this one is in my back yard.

This is another tree in my backyard. I have no idea what those berries are.

And actually, this looks more like Christmas than fall.

And here is Maggie laying amongst the fallen leaves. Her color has completely changed from the time we got her. This picture isn't the best of her, but I had to stop because I stepped in dog poop while taking this picture. So fall photo session was officially over. ;-)

Thanks again for visiting me!

One more Halloween Post.

I have been working on this mini book for the last couple of years. I got it all caught up this year; including this year's Halloween pics!

This whole project started with a Frankenstein I bought years ago at Target on clearance. I started to take Spencer's picture next to it year after year. It has now become a tradition for us to take pictures next to "Frank" every year.

This book is fun for me to look at too because I can see how my scrapbooking has changed and the different products that are out there now. I used a lot of stickers those first couple of years and now I hardly ever use stickers.

I also added the acrylic years to it. I was so pleased with how they turned out! I cut them out on my Cricut. I used the Graphically Speaking cart with the Design Studio. I just welded a rectangle onto the year so I would have a place to punch the holes to put them in my book. And then I stamped them with different "spooky" stamps!


So here is my "Halloweens with Frank" mini! (I have lots of pictures!)

Pumpkin Patch Day!

We made it to the Pumpkin Patch today! And we went costume shopping for the boys, bought our Halloween candy, and got the Halloween decorations up today. It was a busy day!

This is our 6th or 7th year visiting the same Pumpkin Patch. It has become an annual tradition for us. I had heard that this wasn't a great season for pumpkins and I could tell. There are usually tons of pumpkins still out in the pick your own part of the farm, but this year there were none left. We still got a couple of good ones to put out on our front porch.
