Creative Cookbooking DT layout

The challenge for next week is cakes and pies. I chose a pumpkin cake recipe. This cake is so yummy, with a crunchy topping.
Perfect for Thanksgiving! There are lots of other great recipes on the blog, from my fellow design team members. Check it out!!

New President!

No, not for the USA, but for the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority!! My daughter was elected president of her sorority and she is just on cloud 9! Last spring she won a top award and now this. I don't have any pics yet of the president, but here she is with her award.

Trick or Treat

We had about 10 trick or treaters last night. For us, that's a lot!! I know there are neighborhoods that get 100's of kids - just not ours. Since my husband insists on buying tons of candy, I always let the kids take two or three candy bars. If not, I'd eat all the leftovers!!
I had a little witch hat I put on Chiquita, but didn't get a picture. So here is a shot of her in last year's costume. She is such a good dog to dress up like this! Aaaargh!

Creative Cookbooking Design team layout!

This week's challenge was a Halloween snack or treat. I did a layout featuring Monster Mix, which is a trail mix. Pop on over to Creative Cookbooking and play along. There is a special contest coming up....

Fall!

Some pictures of the fall trees in my neighborhood. I love this time of year!

Latest design team projects

For October:
The Halloween moon is for Moments Recorded. I decided to do something different this time, rather than a layout.
The two cards are for Christmas Cards All Year 'Round. The challenge is to do a mostly pink card, since October is breast cancer month.

new layout

A layout I created from a sketch at Pink Sketches. I've had these pictures of Megan and her pink wellies since her 16th birthday.
All she wanted that year was a pair of Wellies. They were not as popular as they are now and we couldn't even find a pair. Anywhere.
I was so desperate, that when we finally found some at Nordstrom's, I was willing to pay just about anything! Fortunately, common sense said No! and we didn't spend big bucks for some rubber boots!! Megan found these pink ones at K-Mart and was just as happy with them. For a lot less money.
