Back to School? Already?

 

Back to school has a different feel around here this year.   Not 3 kids….not even 2 kids…this year I have only one that will be hitting the books.  Ceara is off to grad school this fall.  Long gone are the days of buying crayons and glue.  These days “school supplies” are more like “apartment supplies”.  But that’s okay.  I quickly sniffed a box of crayons and then moved to the aisle with ironing boards! 

The schools in my town start on Aug. 5th and with temps today only in the low 70s it definitely feels like summer is fading fast.  I still have a month before classes start at my college but it won’t be long before I’m back there full time preparing for that first day.  It will be nice to see students back on campus.  I’ve been working a couple of days a week this summer and it is just too quiet without the kids.

I must admit, it has been a pretty lazy summer…but I have been working on scrapbooks too.  Lots of custom orders (which is always fun) and even some new things for my Etsy shop.  Some variations of old favorites…and some entirely new things too.  Here’s a sneak peek of some of what’s new…

Did your summer include a trip to Disney?  Or are you still planning to fit that in before the school bells start ringing?  This book has 8 fun tags to use just for autographs…and plenty of space for the photos that go along with them!

One of my twins is getting married next summer so this summer has been all about the wedding plans.  So many decisions, I think my head might explode! Hopefully by the time the bachelorette party arrives it will be smooth sailing…

Pregnancy books are always popular and I’ve made this one, or a variation of it many times…but I absolutely love the papers I found for this one.  They’re by Heidi Grace Designs and the colors and designs just make me smile.

Catching some rays…

 

flowersIsn’t it funny
how day by day
nothing changes
but when you look back 
everything is different?

This is me today.  Being a beach bum….at the "pool” though instead of the beach.  Oh well.  Still  beats working….
