Ready for Fall

Yesterday afternoon the girls came dashing in from outside with a request that I help gather leaves for a great big leaf pile. We don't have any diciduous trees in our yard, but we do have several on the outside of the fence in the pasture area where the cows hang out. 

I grabbed a bucket and helped them make a little pile, and they had a ball jumping and playing around in it.














Do you notice anything.....  missing from my eldest child?  I have a harrowing and traumatizing story (for me anyway) to share about my baby and her 4 front teeth, but that shall be revealed once the layout is finished, lol. 

I'll just say that we now think she's an even cuter now, and we ask her questions with answers that start with "s" just so we can hear her talk.  lol. 

It was actually okay wearing jeans today.  I am SO ready for the fall weather.  Speaking of fall, I wanted to share a fall related layout I created for the fall issue from Scrapbook and Cards (available now). 





I used some Crate Paper School Days with Studio Calico's Elementary line and my apple turned pumpkin punch from Fiskars, as well as that In Stitches punch that I adore.  That's Payton last year.  Isn't she adorable?  And there I am, curved title, yet again.  I can't help myself. 

Tomorrow is Tuesday and I'm back on the CrafTuesday bandwagon.  Payton is home from 8:30-4:30 while Morgan is gone with nothing on the agenda, so unless I want to be subjected with the hula again, I need to come up with something else.

See you then!  Davinie

  3. Your pics are fantastic! We don't have that many leaves changed yet. My kids would love, love, love to play in that kind of leaves... they'll probably get snow to play in, instead.

    I adore the page - those apples are lovely.

    And those missing teeth - can't wait to hear the story! And how cute she is!!! ADORABLE!

    Love the layout & the photos. I borrowed your idea for the circle titles & now I can't stop. Seems like every lo has a circle. I think it's addictive! Thanks for the inspiration.
