Saturday Market in Portland Oregon -keeping Portland weird!

Today my hubby and i went driving around Washington County near were we live to photograph the last of the fall color.......we have had the most beautiful sunny weather. We may pay dearly for this Indian summer, but for now... its worth it. This old barn with the smoke of a burn pile and the trees showing the last of the yellow, golds and reds of fall..........Kat

Its been a busy summer......

I can't believe summer is almost over.  We have had so much fun.  Wave romping on our waverunners.  Lots of family birthdays in July.  My granddaughter turned 4, my daughter and son in law all share July birthdays.  We had a Minnie Mouse birthday party in the park and then a 9 day total trip to CA.  2 days in Disneyland and 2 days in California Adventure.  We met new babies added to the family and my grand daughter met all the family on her Grandpa's side of the family, including cousins, great grandpa and great grandma, lots of great aunts and uncles.  Fall comes quick in the Pacific NW....so we cherish our sunshine.  Hope your Summer was wonderful!

Had a great time at the CK Convention last Saturday. Took a class with Stephanie Barnard, left in love with the flip card.   http://www.ckscrapbookevents.com/CKScrapbookConventions/CKCPortland.aspx

Yummy all natural body scrub I made for co-workers for Customer Service Week

Don't you just love Pintrest?!? I know i get a lot of ideas and inspiration. Today I am sharing my version of mini heat packs. Can be warmed and put in pockets or put in the freezer and on the eyes for a headache. These are going to be finding their way in to stockings in different materials :)

Halloween Treat tins

I want to make sure to give creative credit to Kimberly at My Craft Spot for the original idea, please visit her site to see the originals. Here is my version. Tin is Pirouline container from the dollar store, paper is Martha Stewart, tag on the top is "Stamps for life".

Hello Everyone! Had to whip up a quick card and add some Trendy Twine.

Just working on a couple of cards....my first embossing.

After a long time, well over a year. I finally bought myself a Sizzix Big Kick for die cutting and embossing. Such a great compliment to my Cricut. :)

Here is my grandsons journal:

Over three years ago i started journaling to my unborn grandchild. It was how i dealt with the excitement and the reality that i was going to be a Grandparent. It has since developed into a way to document our visits fun times together.  Now our grandson has arrived i am working on his jounal. Here are hers. I will add his when i am finished.
