Busy as a bee!

Well this week and weekend are going to be busy!! This weekend we have a soccer Tournament about an hour drive from our home. We will have two games on Saturday one starts at 11:00 and the other at 2:40. Then I have to rush home and get ready for my friends 40th b-day which I am helping host and that's a 25 minute drive back the way I came. I still have no idea how I'm going to get a dish ready, me ready, and make sure that I finish her album by then, oh and then I need to make sure I wash both soccer uniforms as well as make sure the homework is being done. We are buying my friend a group gift so that has been ordered, geesh! Oh, and did I mention the husband is on a business trip all week?

Also, Sunday my daughter has a game at 9:30 a.m. and depending on how they place we may even have a fourth game on Sunday as well. Don't get me wrong I love to watch her play cause if I may say so myself she is pretty darn good!!! As a matter of fact one of the moms on another team mentioned last weekend how good she was out loud and of course she didn't know I was her mom cause the game had only been played for 5 minutes or so and I hadn't started cheering (yelling/shouting) go Lauren, go! I'm so very proud, can ya tell?

Okay, so this is as far as I have got on the b-day album. I still have a ways to go but I think I can get it done before Friday. I need to finish the title/front cover. I want the title to be Fabulous @ 40 but I guess I don't have the Heidi Swapp "Fabulous" acrylic stamp like I thought I did, so I ordered it and it should be here by Friday. If it's not here by then I have back up!!

The colors are so much brighter in real life, sorry the pics are so washed out! Well, gotta run to the dentist (yuck). Will post more as I finish up the album.

I Love coffee

Now that fall is approaching Starbucks has my favorite drink .....Pumpkin Spice Latte. Gotta love it when you're in line the and the Starbucks employee knows what you want before you ask. Okay, on occasion I switch it up a bit and order the Chai Tea Latte but for the most part they get it right when the say "Pumpkin Spice Latte?" Oh yeah, gotta love it! What's your favorite hot/cold drink from Starbucks or any coffee house?

Fall is in the air.....

Are you like me the minute the season starts to change you decorate accordingly? I love the long the hot days of summer but autumn is nice too. I love the fall colors and the smell of chimney smoke in the air in the cooler months. Officially the change will come on Sept. 23rd this year, please correct me if I'm wrong. Here are a couple of pics to show you what I mean about changing my decor etc. during the change of seasons, I even change the colors on the computer screen and change my image on my desktop. I will add to my decor as I love candles, wreaths, pumpkins, and all things FALL. {notice I even changed the colors of my blog} ;0)



I love the Sunshine's Cornucopia and Appalachian Trail Wreath maybe that this will be my next purchase!

More goodies....

Tell me what girl doesn't like to shop especially for new scrapbook goodies? My friend and I went to Youngplay Memories in Tracy, Ca. It was our first time there and the young ladies working were very nice and had a lot of patience with us (we kept on adding things to our purchases) lucky for us there was no one behind us in line. Although, we wouldn't keep adding if there was a line behind us. It's the stores fault that we kept on adding they always have the really cute items by the register, kwim?? Kinda like when you go to the store and they have the gum, candy, and magazines by the register??? I always end up throwing a pack of gum on the belt or even better a gossip magazine?!? Do you do the same??

Oh, and did I mention that Tracy was having their Tracy Dry Bean Festival? Kind of weird I thought. I guess they have a festival for pretty much everything these days. Well here's a picture of my goodies, did not buy to much as I had already made a trip to another scrapbook store the week before. Now it's off to vacuum and do some laundry........yuck!!!!

Layout & yet another purchase!

Today my younger daughter, husband and I went downtown and had lunch. We ate at a fabulous Mexican restaurant and had some yummy food and an excellent margarita!!! A couple of doors down from the restaurant there's this really cute store called Magpie and they have neatest stuff. Here is my latest purchase from the store.




Here are some layouts to get you in the Halloween spirit.

Shoes & kabobs....

My husband and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary this last weekend in Napa. We ate at an excellent restaurant, went wine tasting, relaxed by the pool, went shopping, and got a massage (not me though I didn't feel to good). Here's a pic of one of my purchases, I love me some shoes!

What do shoes and kabobs have in common? Nothing silly I just love me so kabobs too and we made some so I took a picture to tease all of your tummy's! :o) Have a good weekend all!
