Adding something else to the list.

So i came across A one very talented Marcy Penner who is doing Becky Higgens' PROJECT LIFE. I am freak about saving papers and receipts and ephemera and the whole thing really got me wanting to join in. I'm DEF going to order the multiple pack 12x12 clear sheets, bc they are really great, but I have TONS of 8.5x11 photo and baseball sheets that I have been finding over the years, and i like the idea
Of
How they would all look on a shelf
Together...each year finding another cool binder and using it. So, I know that with Ez becoming 2 during this year that a weekly thing would be impossible, so I am aiming at an every two weeks thing. I have a basket where I save all the stuff, and I'm leaving the binder open and ready so I can add as I go. It looks like it's going to make the whole day to day bits and pieces scrapbooking process fun, easy, and somewhat effortless in a weekly manner. For all those cards and notes and weird stuff I save. Here's the start: EDIT: I started thinking that there was no way I would have enough stuff/pictures for a weekly thing. Yeah, right.

I love a good excuse to ramble on about Ezra..

Dare 186. Inspired by Kara's a-z post. (who's art I've always drooled over) couldn't pass this one up.

Finding time for nothing. (Sunday love.)

And that's a good thing. Today I plan on doing nothing. Me and the monkey are hitting up old river road for some sunshine and QT. Then it's off to a birthday party for a minute and then the mission starts for the ultimate park. (Ez is SO cute playing on the stairs and sliding down and swinging)
got a job offer making more money, less hours, less labor intense job. Off Friday & Saturdays.

Not in the flower business.

There’s a commute, and I could ride with someone 3 of 4 workdays. It’s a commitment, and although creative (graphic design), I’m not at all familiar with how to do it. Not playing with flowers everyday. But weekends off has a ring to it that could really change my life. And people need change, right?

Been playing with supplies, sort of:











Sweet, sweet Fall.

The color for today:

GOLDEN YELLOW.









(i love iPhone apps)
Good Sunday to you. Go make something.

A very good fall Sunday.

Tired eyes.


So. Stinking. Adorable.


My mom is awesome:


Picking pecans:


Sweet fall goodness:


Pecans! Shoes I love! Canned beer!


Sweetness:

5 things I am grateful for right now:
• a quiet house, kinda clean, windows open
• ez's laugh. It's seriously addictive.
• having a job I love and Rock at...takes my mind off everything being SO BUSY.
• craft time when it happens and projects brewing. time away from making stuff always makes me get crazy w it when I finally can.
• this amazing weather, hello boots and corduroy!

Pics from the last few statements:

Sometimes you wanna make all of the things in your head, but there are times you can't. Every time l sit at my macaroni and cheese colored table I feel blocked, forced. I wish I could say that's all I can think about, but cold beer and quiet time are consuming most of my time. The final weeks of summer seem to be slipping away from me, undocumented and unaware of the winter ahead. Right now I am taking much pride in all of the little things I accomplish. (as in making my own coffee in the mornings, getting to the shop on time, and watching Ez learn to go go go)
Note to self: you will continue to bloom whether the sun is shining on you or not.
Random eye candy:

(in the last 7 days)

Fall window to aide in speeding up the cooling down process:








I <3 flowers; still:


Summer simplicity at the shop:


What's hanging in the window? These pretties. All you need is a bag of fall leaves, pretty floral wire, fabulous ribbon, and some extra time. I'm going to make some more and Hang them in my house somewhere in a window where the afternoon sun hits them. No, it's never too early to bathe your life in fall colors. Here in south Louisiana we really don't have a "real autumn" so I say: START EARLY.

Pictures from a perfect week:

Go go go, still:

The foot shot never gets old:


Happy weekend, people. Make something or something.
