To Pass the Time layout

paper: cosmo crkt

i love how this paper really played into the title. i couldn't wait to finally use this adorable cosmo crkt travel line, especially the cars paper with the cute little puppy in the window.

this page goes toward our sept 2010 colorado book. which i had better hurry up bc we just got back again last night from colorado and i have enough photos for a whole nother book.

funny how i get inspired to scrap when i should be unpacking...

turkey trip

today we drove back from colorado. matt, the pups and i have only been home for 5 hours and we miss the mountains already. here are a few photos of our travels...

packing and wrapping

tonight the one thing on my list was to get the gifts wrapped! we will be taking them to Colorado wed on our big road trip. since we are going to my parents once between now and christmas we have to take all the gifts with us to leave there. we will save a ton in shipping plus we can buy what we want and not worry about the weight of it.

i got the red and white houndstooth wrap at hobby libby last week during the 50 off christmas sale which is still going this week too. houndstooth is my very fav!

i also have been piling all the important things that we cannot forgot for our trip on the island in the kitchen because i just cannot think straight when it is crazy busy.

tomorrow night we pack, clean and load the car for our trip the next evening bc there wont be time to diddle around wed before we leave.

better get some rest for an early day tomorrow...happy early turkey day and safe travels

Updated Work Space

Today I am inspired to get things cleaned up and fix my wall space above my desk. I have hada few things collected over the past couple of months that I have been wanted to put up by my desk but it is a pain to hang things. But today it got done.

Here are a few photos of my finished wall! The mess around the desk is another story...maybe a project to later on tonight or Sunday.

Used:
Frames from Pottery Barn in multi sizes, "clip" art is from Home Goods, My giant scissor that was found at Super Target, magnetic mirror is from Super Target as well, and then of course a few favorite stamps.

BIG mail

the big boxes were sent from a great friend who has been harboring our things from our last big move that we were not able to take with us.

the smaller box with all the papers goodies were purchased from... http://catchthemomentskits.blogspot.com/

....who sells kits, "garage sale" items as well as her new Thickers Club. Check her out!
