Happy Birthday to me

Today I entered the last year of my 30’s.  I could be depressed, but I hear the 40’s are awesome, so i’ll take my friend’s word for it…and just live it up till I get there. 

Not much going on today.  I’m od’ing on chocolate and coffee.   In the meantime, I scrapped (as a present to myself).  Just being a little honest about ME today. 

Happy Birthday to me.

I’ll have some photos of the kids from Halloween soon.  I’ll show ya a bunch this week…right now I gotta go shower, cuz I’m going to Sarah’s for dinner.  I really don’t know what I would do without her and Rob…they love me more than I deserve.  Thank you Lord for the best gift ever…my loyal and caring friends, SARAH and ROB. 

Halloween Mini Album

***My dryer broke – I think i shall break down and cry now.

I made a Halloween Mini album out of some of those thin foam pieces you can buy at the Dollarama.  I see them all the time.  A package of pre-cut shaped thin foam pieces.  I just happened to stumble on these last year – and they were in the shape of a pumpkin.  I  knew right away I had to have them because eventually I would want to make a mini album for my step-daughter.  So i bought them and they sat on my scrap table for an entire yet.  I think the cats even chewed a bit of foam off the stems of two or three or them. 

I dug out my scraps and leftover kit pieces from the Imaginisce line last year (last year’s LP kit).  I also had some Rusty Pickle patterned paper and a couple of sheets from American Crafts (i think it was).  Also at the Dollarama I bought a couple of sheets of neat looking embellishments.  CHEAP.  Affordable – I like it.  The really neat thing is that the foam was actually thin enough that I could sew a piece of patterned paper to each side and run it through my sewing machine – no clogs, no mess, no fuss!  I love that.

So…the above foam turned into this.  God, I love it when a plan comes together like that.  ;)
