7 Gypsies Week at Blue Moon Scrapbooking

Guess what? One of my very fave sites is having a HUGE contest this week. It's 7 Gypsies week at BlueMoon Scrapbooking. A week filled with giveaways, sales and specially-designed 7G kits. So hop on over to the BlueBlog and check it all out!

GGS September Swap

I was so excited (and nervous) about participating in the GGS (Girls Gone Scrappy) monthly group for the first time that I was very late sending out my completed book to my trade partner…Big “faux paux” when you’re the new kid on the block! But thank Goodness Hope was very patient and kind, and from what I hear, has received her book with no further delays. I’m posting a few pictures of the girlfriends-themed mini I made for her and a short video. Most of the materials used came from a kit I purchased from Blue Moon Scrapbooking(the Shining Madonna kit). I LOVE Scott and Lisa’s kits! Thanks for visiting and hanging out with me for a bit today. Enjoy your weekend

A Few Cards

As I was shifting through my Fall stash from last year I stumbled upon a few really pretty Halloween papers and embellishments. I don't normally create Halloween art, but this stuff was just so cute I couldn't resist! I love quick projects so I decided to make a few cards and a collage to use up the stash...too fun!

Last month I participated in the GGS (Girls Gone Scrappy) mini album swap. My trade partner was Hope . Here is a short video of the album she made for me...

Autumn Fires

Autumn Fires

In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
See the smoke trail!

Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
The grey smoke towers.

Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!

October’s Party

October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came.
The Chestnuts, Oaks and Maples,
And leaves of every name.

The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.

The Chestnuts came in yellow,
The Oaks in crimson dressed;
The lovely Misses maple
In scarlet looked their best.

All balanced to their partners,
And gaily fluttered by;
The sight was like a rainbow
New fallen from the sky.

--George Cooper

I love this time of year. Some of the things I look forward to are breathing in the crisp October air, eating pumpkin pie, going apple picking, planting mums, jumping on a hay ride, cuddling up with warm blankets and sweaters and sipping hot chocolate...I just love it. Happy October!

“October is crisp days and cool nights, a time to curl up around the dancing flames and sink into a good book.”
