Well I am playing around with my blogs to see if I should keep them both going- I was thinking of just keeping the one........ but I thought I would add some pics to this one and see how it looks.

I love Autumn- it is one of my favorite times of the year and I LOVE Halloween!!!!

I have the 31st off and I am going to be having some fun!!! I am going to have my own special time to myself-  a day for me and then I am going to make some delicious treats....... very festive  for Halloween !!!  








 These I couldn't resist- they have nothing to do with Halloween - but they are sooooo funny!! Owen looks petrified and Jake is thinking about what he wants for Christmas--  Classic!!!

To continue or not......


I have been thinking about having the two blogs and not sure, if I should continue both. My time lately has been stretched so thin that obviously this blog ( and the other) haven't really received much attention...... so here I am, do I keep this and just do photography on this and art projects?? Not sure, I will think about this..... in the mean time, here is a little friend, one of a few, we have seen on our patios

Collections


Here is my latest addition to my collection of Starbucks gift cards

If you have any used up gift cards from Starbucks- do not throw them away, or give them to the SB baristas- save em' and recycle them to me.........

I am saving these for something really special that I am going to make out of these little cards.... so pass them to me once your are done using-- I would love it

This one is cool......

these are the sweetest smiles around

a little painting goin' on.....
if there is a fire, put it out- do not let is fester or build
these will take me places.....

Balancing...... well, still a work in progress

I am a mom, wife, cook, chauffeur, accountant, lunch packer, homework director, laundry girl, laundry folder, cleaning lady ( sort of) , 40+ hr worker, dresser, boo-boo comforter, referee, daughter, sister, friend, partner, photographer, memory keeper, artist, reader, writer, but most of all a woman trying to balance it all.........

if I wasn't for a wonderful, supportive guy in my life, I wouldn't be able to do much....yet, I am still trying to work in ME time- which is always last..... I have managed to work in some exercise during my work day, and off time... it is not enough- I need to schedule me in- but that is last thing I do when it has to do with our kids, so I tend to sacrifice my sleep in order for me to blog, write, scrapbook, read, or just relax...... so then BOOM- I am fighting bronchitis, or a cold or whatever........my health suffers. I am still focusing on my goals of 2011- live today, create and relax- but it is a motto I must repeat ( over and over and over ) in my head when I am feeling overwhelmed- what is that saying "remain calm and carry on"
