Summer's gone........

Well now that summer is over and its humid as all get out..... makes me want to dress for fall....NOT! I know soon enough it will be cold, windy, and you know.... the s word...snowy.
My fairy book class went fantastic.....great students! They said they loved it.... music to my ears. Makes all the work worthwhile. Now....I do believe my next book will be a fall book.....not Halloween......just pretty fall colors. A great book for yourself or a friend. I will be using the new Basic Grey... Indian Summer. I did start....but only have the cover figured out.... so need to get busy. The Grandma's Apron book will come after...I haven't forgotten it.
Don't forget its Scrap Pink at PaperTales on October 2, 3rd, 586-773-7911. Call and sign up now. Its going to be tons of fun. I'm sorry I will miss it this year. Were going to Tennessee to golf and visit friends.
Tomorrow is a sleep over with the boys.... Mom has to go to Lansing on Wed. We will be going to McDonald's for dinner....a treat for the boys. Of course popcorn and a movie before bed. The donut shop in the morning before we head back so Forrest can get to school. Busy days, fun days....
Off to play.......

Fairy Book

It's finally done...........boy that took a long time.....lol. Check out Papertales blog to see pictures.... I of course forgot to take some.
I'm babysitting all day tomorrow.....such a chore......lol NOT! Forrest started school last week.... where has the last 5 years gone?
Last week was very busy and I think this week will be also... the kids, prepping for classes, stitching at my house on Wed. Guess I should go clean......lol.
So after the fairy book class next Sat., Sept.19th, I believe my next book will be "My Grandmother's Apron". Very vintage, memories of our grandmothers working in their aprons and other items from that time. It will be fun.
Off to bed......

September........... where did summer go?

I'm still waiting for all the warm weather........sure we had some very hot days.....and spring. Oh well hopefully next summer will be somewhat warmer.
I have been busy working on a new class....... A Fairy Book....... its coming along nicely, Paper Tales posted some sneak preview pictures on Facebook. Check it out. I do hope to have it finished very soon......I'm working as fast as I can. Well.....almost.
I signed up for Lisa Pace's new workshop.... All Hallows Eve, her website is...... www.lisapace.com. Check it out! I printed my supply list and have been busy gathering my supplies. It is going to be great.
We had the boys over this week, they spent the night Sunday and stayed all day Monday. We had fun, they love going to the donut shop with Pa........ going to the fruit market, ice rink, bait store.....all those fun things. Picking raspberries........and of course eating them. We also celebrated Matt's birthday........my baby is 33.......sigh. Where does the time go?
Hopefully I will be posting new pictures soon....... Don't forget to check out Paper Tales classes.
Off to play...........
