Happy October to everyone - I can't believe it is here already!!! Ryan was super excited to pull out his candy corns from our Halloween Countdown Calendar today :)

We have been having LOTS of rainy days . . .

but finally this afternoon some nice, cool, breezy fall weather broke through :)

As I mentioned earlier this week I have been doing lots of scrapping these days - restless sleepy nights so I end up going to bed late when my body is just about ready to drop . . . that way I am really too tired to feel uncomfortable & play the game of toss & turn :)

I finished up my last Guest DT project for A Million Memories . . . the September kit had such a wonderful softness to it. In my most recent TJ Maxx shopping adventure I found this adorable distressed frame for $3.99 & dressed it up a bit with some goodies from the kit . . .

A BIG thanks to Michelle at A Million Memories for allowing me the awesome opportunity to work with their kits!!!!

I also finished up my last assignment for Your Scrapbook Stash - I have been hoarding a particular mini album for a while now. It is a corrugated cardboard album by the etsy store SpectacularStuff - a mere $2.00 people & SO VERY STURDY!!!!! I am totally ordering some more of these - they are awesome & she has tons of other cool albums & chipboard goodies in her shop - check her out!!! I combined this album & TONS of fab Bella Blvd goodies to create a "Dates To Remember Planner" . . .
