A Perfect Fall Day includes......

1.  Church and a great message about being on the UNDEFEATED TEAM, His Team.

2.  Layouts completed for a couple of challenge blogs to include The Candy Shop  at http://www.candyshoppedesigns.blogspot.com/ with a prize from BlueMoon Scrapbooking at http://www.bluemoonscrapbooking.com/ .  Here is my layout to include the sketch flipped with my number theme for Halloween and Oct 31st. 

3.  Fantasy Football with women in the scrapbooking world and friends that I met on SIStv almost 3 years ago and did I say women who know their sports...so FUN!

4.  The Texas Rangers and the game tonight, hopefully winning 2 in a row to tie up the World Series.  Got my claws and antlers out for speed and strength.  I BELIEVE.

5.  My boo-tiful Demi dressing up as a military woman honoring the military who are serving today and in the past.  I love the theme her 5th grade had this year doing this since her best friend's dad is currently stationed in Afghanistan for a year.  Here is to all of those HEROS from the past to include Demi's grandpas, my cousin who served, my nephew who just joined the Navy this week and to Matt whom we love and miss dearly.

6.  Trick or Treating with our lil angel, Brylee in a few hours.  We can't wait!!

Scrapbooking and Baseball = One Happy Mama

I found the cutest scrapbooking blog today and want to share it with you as well.  You can go  to http://candyshoppedesigns.blogspot.com/ and see the sketch challenge they have up which ends tomorrow.  The prize that is being offered up is from http://www.bluemoonscrapbooking.com/.  I hope you will venture over to check out all the fun and to see just how lovely this blog is today.

I will be posting my layout for the sketch shortly.  Did I mention how good it feels to be scrapbooking today? 

And to top it off our TEXAS Rangers will play again at 5:30pm today.  We are all hopeful they will go BIG with a WIN at home tonight.  Either way I just hope they play well and have fun doing so.

Happy Pre-Halloween today,

TEXAS RANGERS - World Series Here We Come....

I woke today to the wonderful news that our beloved Texas Rangers beat the NY Yankees 6-1 last night and are on their way to the World Series next week.  The Metroplex could not be happier for so many awesome men and Nolan Ryan. 

CONGRATS RANGERS!!!!

Now if our Dallas Cowboys could pull off a win this weekend against the NY Giants.  This game be tougher than the game last night but I am hopeful our Cowboys can pull off a win and will get back on track for what was supposed to be an awesome season for them.  I know Tony Romo can do it! 

So today I am going to be creating some layouts for some challenges going on over at http://www.pencillines.com/ all week as they celebrate their 4th birthday.  They are giving away some awesome prizes and have some great sketches which the DT pulled up from the past 4 years.  Go check it out, you will be amazed at the inspiration over there.

Hopefully I will be back to post some pictures from the past several weeks and some layouts that I create today.  It has been so long so it will feel wonderful to actually create something today.

I will leave you with a list of what I am thankful for on this rainy Saturday:
1.  The gift of life and another day to enjoy God's simple pleasures.
2.  My faith and the Bible
3.  Being a mom to the most awesome and loving 10 year old (Demi, I love you!)
4.  Starting over
5.  Family and friends who care and a surprise visit this week from my aunt in MD
6.  Compassion
7.  Work
8.  Sinus meds/headache - living in TX with ragweed and pollen can make life more challenging :-)
9.  Transportation
10.The will and desire to hold on and keep going even when I don't feel like and knowing the God has plans for my future. 

Make it a great day and remember to hug your children and let those you love know it.  Find time to make someone else's life better with a random act of kindness!
