Catscrap Blog Hop

It's that time - and I hope you've already seen the amazing collab the fantastic designers over at Catscrap put together for {i}DSD...

It's called My Life - and it's free when you spend $10 or more in the Catscrap store.  Which is rather easy - and even easier now with the HUGE 30% off sale which is going on right now!!!

You may be on the blog train and have come here from Ferdy's blog...so, without further ado, here's my portion of the blog hop :)

And now to your next stop...Stacey's blog, where you can get two fantastic QPs...

Off you go and enjoy the train... and if you get lost, there is always the Catscrap Blog, where there is a list of all the stops on the train :)

Catscrap's {i}DSD festivities...

There is a huge sale at Catscrap, a freebie, a blog hop and some daily free goodies at the Catscrap facebook page...

Make sure you stop by this weekend - it will definitely be worth your while!!

A Cold Walk

We went on a "freezing and windy" walk one Sunday at the beginning of October.  It was beautiful outside - but it was SO good to come inside again to have some hot chocolate to warm us up again :)

I used Boutique Cute Doll Designs' fabulous new Feel Free ~ available at After Five Designs...

Dawn Inskip's DSD Sale!

The fabulous Dawn Inskip has kicked off the {i}DSD festivities with an amazing grab bag and a HUGE sale...

And even her brand new Frozen Collection is 40% off...

If I didn't already have everything Dawn has every designed - past, present and in the middle - I'd be running to her store with my card in hand :)

Snap Happy

My older daughter loves to take photos (I wonder where she gets it from LOL) and I love taking photos of her taking photos :)

I did this for the All Lined Up November challenges over at Catscrap and I used Erica Zane's amazing Happy Snapper and Little Butterfly Wings' fabulous It's All About Kate - Templates.  Both available at Catscrap.

First Frost

I took a long walk around my town on the morning of the first frost - at the beginning of October.  The weather was so bright and still and everything looked so beautiful.  I must have taken about 150 photos of frozen plants, frozen puddles - and the seals waiting for the sun to reach their frozen rocks by the ocean :)  Every morning should be like this!!

I used Dawn Inskip's amazing new Frozen Collection ~ available at Scrapbook Graphics...!

Beauty

My younger daughter :)

I used Studio Jen D's fab Burst That Paper 1.0 and Blagovesta Gosheva's gorgeous A Touch of Whimsy ~ both are brand new at Scrapbook Graphics.  The "Beauty" wordart is by Christina Renee and the "Sweet" wordart is by Dawn Inskip ~ both also at Scrapbook Graphics.

Christmas Thoughts

Just me rambling on about how every year, in December, I decide to start my Christmas shopping in January, so that I could have a stressfree advent - and every year, I don't start until late November.

Except this year, I had already gotten a lot done by the end of October - so now I'm looking forward to a funfilled, stressfree advent with my kids :)

I did this for SherrieJD's playday over at Scrapbook Graphics and most of what I used is by SherrieJD, except for the alpha, which is by Julia Makotinsky.  The layout is linked for full credits, but everything is available at Scrapbook Graphics.

My Closet Shoes

These shoes live in my closet and have a very easy life - along with a few other pairs of very good looking high heeled shoes and boots, I bought at the same time, but have never been worn.  I'm very much a hiking-boots kind of person - but I do love a beautiful looking shoe, and I've got to own it, even though I'll never wear it :)

I used Jenna Desai's amazing kit My Closet ~ available at The Lily Pad.

Pippi

My younger daughter is all over her bed when she sleeps - sometimes, she sleeps like Pippi Longstocking, with her feet on her pillow :)
