Happy Monday to you!
I am trying to settle into a routine, and I really want to know, what happened to summer? We are about to begin school in three weeks, and there is still so much I want to do. I do have family visiting me this week, and I cannot tell you how excited we all are to see them! My Mom, my sister, and my niece will be flying in from the Lone Star State, and will be arriving on Thursday!!! As much as I love California, it is so difficult to be away from family! I feel that I missed out on so much. For instance, my brother now has a new baby girl, and I have not had the opportunity to meet her. It makes me sad, but I try to stay connected as much as I can.
I have not seen any of my family in about two years, and that is way too long! So we are going to make the most out of their visit, and there will be lots of laughs! One thing about me, is that I am very loud. My father, my sister, and my brother, all have loud personalities. My Mom is soft spoken, which is good thing! So put my sister, and I in the same room, you are going to have to cover your ears! My husband will be in for a treat.
I cannot wait to see them! My sister is coming at a perfect time! She is so organized. I cannot even begin to explain to you, how well organized of a person she is in our family. So I know, she will be a big HELP in organizing my space. Today, I finally get to spend time in my room, and begin the task of trying to sort, and put my supplies into new homes. I am hoping to simply have my desk set up, so I can have my workspace. I am missing my paper!
Okay, I could go on about my family, but how about a scrapbook page? Here is a page I created with the new Halloween line by My Mind's Eye. It is called Mischievous, and it was a page I created for CHA. This is the last of my CHA projects to share with you. I did create one more page, but I was lucky to have it picked up for publication. I will definitely share when I am able to.
"Mischievous"
This line has the traditional colors of black, and orange, but with blue thrown into the mix.(Trust me, the rest of the papers do have blue on them!) I love this photo of Macie from two years ago. She was lady bug, and a pretty cute one, too! (;
details:
I always love the chipboard sheet MME includes with their collections, and this one is no exception! I layered the Halloween chipboard shape on top of a journaling card, with the date of Halloween at the bottom. I added extra dimension to this embellishment, by embellishing the letter "O" with more chipboard, and brad. The ragdoll chipboard shape was to adorable not to use on my page, and used her to hold this fabulous chipboard banner.
In the upper right hand corner, I stitched a eerie spider web. Well, that is what Macie thought it looked like on her page. Created a spider flower for the center, and finished the element with string.
Okay, it is already 9:00am, and it is time for me to get busy opening boxes, and setting up my workspace!
Enjoy the day, and thank you for reading today(:
Love the layout! Have fun with your family and I think I missed something but did you move?? Hope you're still local!!
