99 Days

I just found out today, that there are only 99 days until Christmas. Did seeing that make anyone else freak out a little bit?!? I have started my Christmas shopping, thankfully, but still 99 days seems like not enough time to do all the fall crafts I want, and bake all the pumpkin recipes I've pinned on Pinterest, and decorate my house for each and every holiday....

Time seems to be in short lately. Between back to school, traveling, my infertility medications and routines, and household stuff, I feel like have little time for anything else. So I'm gonna work on that. We're gonna slow down a bit. Commit a little less, organize a little more, and see what happens.

This past week I got to visit my Grandparent's beautiful garden and admire all their hard work. Have you ever seen such beautiful zinnias? I was also able to capture one of the several bees, pollinating their garden.

Zoe had so much fun helping pick raspberries and green beans. I hope she remembers this when she gets older. It's such a treasure to spend time in their garden.

I did sneak in some creative time yesterday. I finally got to play with Kelly Purkey's new stamps, that arrived last week.I made a couple of cards with her new thankful set, white woodgrain cardstock, and my Amy Tan Ready, Set, Go 6x6 pad.

I used American Crafts Zing embossing powder with the stamps, and they turned out great. I have to remember to use my embossing stuff more often, then just make stamped images POP!

XOXO,
