a delayed "tomorrow"

remember in my last post I was suppose to share some good mail...like the next day? Well, thanks to Mr. (or maybe Mrs.? Ms.?) internet's hiatus from last friday until today, that didn't happen...until now :)

My happy mail was this...

just a box..right? A seemingly ordinary, unpromising box.

Or is it...?

Could it be.....

an awesome box full o' Sassafras scrapping goodness? 

As in EVERY SINGLE new embellishment from their newest CHA releases? Almost too good to even break into...almost ;)

And then this sweet Bo Bunny prize arrived too. The same day!

I started snipping that paper up right away and whipped out an owl shaped halloween card. Because as you might have guessed by now, I do love me some owls :)

Super fun to make! Just drew the outline on some cardboard and paper pieced the hoot together. Stitched her eyes (yes it's a "she"...notice the flower!) and the "Happy Owloween", glittered her stripes, inked her edges and flocked the black Bo Bunny swirls on her wings!

Feeling like a pretty lucky girl lately :)

September Gallery

Do you have your Hall Pass?

Lots of love for this kit. Lots.

Want more? Head over to the Freehand Scraps gallery for more inspiration than you can shake a school book at :)

As always if you have any questions just ask! I never know if people want me to share what the journaling says, the stories behind the layouts, what products were used where...or maybe that's just boring stuff...?

Something not so boring? The super fun mail that was waiting for me today! Yipee! Will share tomorrow!

Smile

So many reasons to smile this week.

Connecting with the ball, no "t" involved.



Sweet Mr. McSmiley...what?...you don't swing the first week of August in your Christmas p.j.'s?






Popsicle breaks.




Sweet mail from a new friend.
And then today...this.




His preschool orientation. He couldn't wait. You would have thought today was his birthday and the gifts were school supplies. He had a death grip on these new treasures!



When I saw this picture...*sigh*. Mommas, watch out--I'm afraid he might be breaking some little girl's heart someday. Seeing him look so big certainly is breaking mine.

Chillaxin'

*I love those raisin toes!*

Yep. That's what we are doing here.

Soaking up summer as much as we can.

A little something to remind us of the fun we've had so far this summer.

Freehand Scraps August kits and gallery goes up tomorrow! Be sure and check it out.

Here's to another fun summery weekend!

Old & New

Some old and new shares today...

Giving a little brotherly love...as opposed to the brotherly smack downs we have been having lately ;)


Cards







And a couple layouts






I'll have a few Freehand Scrap sneaky sneaks up soon. Until then, check out the sneaks from Samantha & Heidi!



Anyone else have anything sneaky to share?


*and might I just add that the pictures of my older layouts look pixelated! Weird. What is up with that?*
