I haven't posted in forever and a day. I know it's actually been since my auntie passed, well, after she passed that I wrote a post about all that went on. Anyway on to the good stuff. I've decided to get back into designing. Angel Dolly Designs has found a new home to sell designs at! YAY!!! But for  now the following... I started out actually just doing some layouts, kind of getting my feet wet. LOL. Here are a few, okay more than a few: Kit is Snowflakes of Winter by Lindsay Jane Designs. Fonts are Gillie & Hilda. Kit is January Daze by Kristmess Designs. Font is  Miama Regular. This was my daughter's first picture taken with Santa. The photographer wanted to know if I wanted to have it taken again. My response, "Of course not, this is perfect!" Kit is Season of Joy by Ponytails Designs. Fonts are Cool Dots & Mistery Curse. Template by Ponytails Designs. Kit is #2017 January Mini Kit by Connie Prince. Font is Milk ...

WOW talk about a huge change in weather. Yesterday we had a high temp of 101. Today got up to a whopping 79! I was just coming back in from taking out the garbage and I realized that over night the shadows seemed to change, or maybe it's just my wishful thinking! Autumn is my absolute favorite time of year. I love the way the shadows lengthen and the smell of the crunchy leaves. We don't get the gorgeous color changes that other parts of the U.S. get but it's definitely on its way!I wish someone could've reached out and gave me a cyber smack, saying, "wake up girl and post something on your blog!" LOL I guess I just didn't even think about it, no other excuses! School is going well for Elizabeth, Andreas is enjoying his job, and of course I love my work. I always say my job is a monkey job but where else am I going to find something I enjoy, something that pays EXCELLENT and something that doesn't stress me out? I may have never shared what I do. I wor...

So, the first week of school was pretty uneventful. I briefly explained in my last post that Elizabeth's school got shut down at the end of the last school year due to budget cuts. The district decided that they would bus the kids from the old school to the new school. Right now the whole bus situation is a joke. Last Saturday we got E's bus pass in the mail. It said she was to ride the 7:40 bus. Umm, no way! School starts at 7:50, and she's supposed to be on the 7:40 bus, there is no possible way for that bus to make it to the school on time. We took E to school on the first day, it took us 30 minutes to make it there when it normally takes 5 minutes. The traffic was so backed up, it was incredible! According to the principal, it's gotten better each day. But the bus thing has me all confused. I take her to the bus stop in the morning at 7:10, which is in time for the earliest bus. There is also a 7:25 and then the 7:40, who knows what will finally be decided. I guess ...

...back to school!!! I can't believe it. The summer went so incredibly fast. My girl will be starting fourth grade!! Where has the time gone? We have almost all of E's school shopping done. (Elizabeth has decided she wants to start going by Lizzy, so I'm working on trying to remember that.) We've bought the clothes and the backpack. We got some new pencils, erasers, pencil sharpener, ruler and folders. Oh, and heaven forbid I forget to list the pencil box!! LOL I'm going to wait until after school starts to get the rest of what she might need. Today we went to E's new school to meet her teacher and find her new classroom. It's a really nice school compared to her last two schools! I think this just might turn out to be a good thing. The school she went to last year closed due to budget cuts. I haven't been doing much scrapping. I'm not sure why. Blocked maybe? I have a few that I've done in the last month. (all the layouts are linked) Let me s...
