thank you acorns!

I created these cards for my mom's Close To My Heart blog a few weeks ago, but I thought I would share them here! (Since it's been almost a week since I popped in to share anything!) It's supposed to be almost 90 degrees here today, but tomorrow it should be down to 70 or so, and I am ready for a little more fall weather, that's for sure!!! And if there's one thing that says FALL. . .it's ACORNS!!! How cute are these? I used my circle punch, and punched them right out from the Twitterpated patterned paper by CTMH. This is part of a big batch of cards I am making for gifts (so if you get these under the Christmas tree, act surprised!!!!) I am always working on using up my patterned paper, because I never can seem to keep up with the mounting stack of it! Quick, simple, and using up the stash. . .that's what it's all about! (Oh, and CUTE. Definitely always striving for CUTE!)

I need to head out the door to get my little man to school, and then I am off to buy supplies for his class party tomorrow! I {heart} being a room mom!!!! :)

Have a great day, and a TERRIFIC weekend. . . .I'll try to come back with some Halloween treats this weekend!

XOXO

Apron Strings . . .before the month is over!

I realized I never finished sharing my cards using the October Apron Strings kit! I better show you QUICK, so you can run right over and scoop up the goodies! :)

These cards both feature paper from American Crafts. I had THE best time cutting out all these little butterflies, bending up their wings a bit, and sticking them on. I suppose these would be the types of cards to hand-deliver, as the butterflies would certainly lose their charm, all smooshed up in an envelope!
You can find all the goodies shown on these cards, in the Apron Strings October kit! Go. . .hurry! Check it out HERE!

We are looking forward to the Air Show this weekend. . .especially because we'll be watching it WITHOUT the crowded mob of people, comfortably from Eric's grandparents dock, right across the river from the Navy base where it's held. I think the boys are going to LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Have a great weekend!
XXOOX

completely random

Having a random sort of day today. . . and here is a blog post to coordinate.

First, the card - all Close To My Heart goodies, including the circle card. I feel a little challenged by the circle shape. But I am fairly happy with this card (although the photo sort of stinks. Sorry about that!)

Made this for dinner last night:
Chicken Marsala Yummy!!!

Desperately trying to clean my kitchen. Funny how I have been desperately trying to clean my kitchen every day for at LEAST the past week. Funny how every time I get half way done, it's time to cook again, or some wild child runs through leaving a path of destruction behind him. I should be cleaning right now. But as I clean, I also have to remove half the items from my cabinets, because SOMEONE, who shall remain nameless, REALLY likes to pull all the Ziplock bags from the boxes, and REALLY likes to fill the colanders with trucks and magnets. And REALLY likes to spread the PlayDoh toys (minus the PlayDoh) all over the floor, for me to step on. So it's sort of a losing battle.

But onward I must march.
In pursuit of the unattainable goal. . ..
a clean kitchen. Actually, just a NEAT kitchen. Clean would be a bonus.
