Some projects..

Here are a couple of minis for WIP this month. I have to add some photos to each of them. The nature one I am going to use as a nature journal. I took the leaves apart and added a ring binder so that I could add photos, quotes and other natural things that I have found this fall.

This one is a fun fall mini about what's going on right now. I have halloween and some other fun photos to go in here. Trish had sent a paper box with the kit, and I took the top and bottom off to make the mini. Lovin the wood grain paper from Cosmo Cricket. If you look at the bottom photo you can see a small bit of my little man. We are still waiting for a court date. And yes I'm sad. But always positive.

Happy Halloween!!

One of my favorite holidays...Check out these AWESOME pumpkins that were on Gossip Girl the other night. I had a post on WIP about white pumpkins, and these KISS ones are the coolest.

Favorite cereals of all time....

This halloween would be a little better if we had our little man here, but next year will just rock. Have a safe and fun halloween. We are heading to a party dressed as ghostbusters. Fun.

"The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you do the work"

I can't wait to build forts with my little man.

No word on the court date yet. It is discouraging...that is why I needed some rainbows today.

What's been going on...

1. Where the Wild Things Are...Very good movie...not for the super youngsters though.
2. I really want this coloring book! You can find it HERE.

3. Pretty cool co-workers.

4. It was spirit week...so fun pink stripe in hair.
5. Kate Voegele concert at House of Blues with Kirsten and Wendy. Pretty good.
Update on adoption: The courts opened on the 12th...we are waiting for a court date that could come any day now...or weeks from now. Hopefully sooner than later!

Hangin in there...

We got some disappointing news on the adoption homefront yesterday...the courts in Ethiopia are staying closed for a while longer for training purposes...which delays us getting a court date for a while longer. We were hoping to find out in a couple of weeks, now it looks like a month or so. It's hard. I mean really hard. To watch your son grow up in pictures sucks.
Other things going on...WIP LO's for the month...
This is a mini I did with elementary school photos.

What have I been up to? HMMMM....NOT A WHOLE LOT!

• Having foot surgery...not a good time.


• Scrapping with Laina...good time.


• Seeing The Informant with the hubs...not a good movie.


• Waiting around for a court date for our adoption...sucks.


• Reading 'Me Talk Pretty One Day' by David Sedaris...funny stuff.


• Watching new episodes of my favorite shows...relief.


• Seeing a white deer...something new.
