Pretties

so many pretty things to see and photograph...

Martha's Bats

Our little bit or decor this year. I didn't wanna get our box of halloween decorations out this year...too much work. So this is what we decided to do. Thank you Martha (Stewart) for the paper bats that we purchased at a trip to Michaels. Which is how I bribed Matt into going there, by saying that we were going to get decor. haha. gotcha. which then I proceeded to the scrapbooking ile. (evil laugh)

New from Crate and Barrel

<3 C&B:

I got 3 new ABC bins and I could not be happier with them! They are $15 for the larger of the two sizes which I got and am still thinking what I could use for the smaller size. Maybe photos? I will think of something... here are the photos

Bin #1 for ABC by color
Bin #2 for neautral (silver, gold, brown and black)
Bin #3 for multi colors in a pack and tons of white letters

As you can see my system that I had was no longer working and exploding out of every corner of my desk. After I photographed the ABC's pre-binned I realized I didn't even get out my stash of black letters. But they all fit perfectly! I think Matt is tired of hearing how wonderful they look. : )

Around Town

the other day matt and i decided to drive around town and try to capture the colors of fall. there are always so many neat trees throughout town that i see on my way to work that i wanted to photograph them before it was too late and the short season was gone. he drove me all over town and i would yell,TREE, and he would slow down so i could take the photo. i call that a 'photo drive by'. of course with the window down so i wouldn't get doggie nose prints between the camera and subject. here are a few of the dozens of photos that i took the other day.

Inside

i wanted to share these pretty pictures even though they are from last week while out for my surg. while i was walking Mr. Reagan (or rather being dragged around the neighborhood in my pjs my my large dog)i gathered a handful of pretty orange leaves like when i was little. i loved to pick up things that i saw when my gram and i use to take walks. something i still love to do. after i got back home i tried to figure out what todo with the leaves to make them not dry out and wilt....it only lasted for about a day and a half but it brought a smile to my face. (notice my stripped Paul Frank pjs in the photo)

New Boots

While internet surfing I found a find that was too hard to pass up... so I called the nearest store. It just so happened that had just got the boots in and so that had plenty in stock. Urban Outfitters is usually a hit or miss. And the store is easier to find things than their website. I am more drawn to the fabrics and things I can actually touch.

At their store my favorite section besides the clearance is the books. There is the funniest collection I have ever seen. My most favorite is 'Awakward Family Photos', which also has a website with hundreds. I guess only the best made the book. A must check out tho. Didn't get the book but would be a great conversation piece or gift for the upcoming holidays!

So back to the boots...I got the black and they are fabulous!

BoBunny Chip albums

I wanted to share my BoBunny chipboard album covers I finally finished. There are those certain projects that are almost done but I for some reason cannot get the motivation to finish. Here is one that I can cross off my list. The inside has been done for quite some time and deserved a completed cover.

The papers used were the Cosmo Cricket Camping line that came out 2 years ago. I love love love the smiling smores. They crack me up. But sorry no smiling smores on the cover, just inside on the layouts.
