Terrific!

Working away today on kitting October's kit...can't hardly wait to share a sneak peek!! There are lots of tiny pieces in this kit, which has made my job tedious...but I think there is a great mix of things in it. I love including a 1/2 package of this and that. How many of you have seen the jar of GREAT flowers that cost a load of money...and you know that chances are you will only use a handful of those beauties!?? Or maybe in my case 2 or 3...since I am not a flower hoarder. I hoard other things...like CHIPBOARD. In fact at CHA when I was buying for these upcoming kits, my sidekick shopper (a.k.a. my sister) had specific instructions to steer me away from chipboard unless it was to die for! (After all we can't completely cut off chipboard...that would go against the laws of scrapbooking!) What can I say...do they have a chipboard anonymous group with some 13 step program. If so, sign me up!

Yard mowed...(just so you know I have nearly 7 acres and this picture doesn't show the half of it) check.
House cleaned...check.
Laundry done...check.

We are off to enjoy the beautiful weather and play this afternoon! Fall is definitely in the air in our neck of the woods. I mentioned last year that one of the towns that neighbors ours...the closest town with a Wal Mart...is the pumpkin capital. It's home to Libby's Pumpkin brand. (If you cook with pumpkin...I'm sure you've heard of it!) Each year they have the "Pumpkin Festival" which is basically a grimy carnival...but with really good food. I can't wait to eat some pumpkin chili this year. Yes, it sounds gross, but it's SO good! Saturday is the pumpkin parade and they usually have a craft fair where vendors can sell their goods. My kids are over the moon for this little tradition and are begging me to go. So that's the plan...if you're lucky I'll take a picture of my chili so you can all be jealous!! LOL. Hope you have a beautiful evening!
