Fall Fun!

Hey, everyone!

As this year speeds closer and closer to the end, I think my life is speeding up, too. I feel like I cannot get everything done in one day that I really had intended to. Instead of slowing down and enjoying the fall season, it's been a whirlwind of to-do lists and appointments, errands and running and I didn't take any photos of the colorful leaves as they changed or of my children playing in the leaves, but I did stop to enjoy them! The sun would shine on the golden leaves in our front yard and it instantly made me smile. My gift from God...right outside my window! The wind would blow the leaves around the yard and my son would jibber to it, stretching as far as he could to see them and scream with excitement! The weather was so warm that I even let him walk through the leaves with no shoes or socks on and he loved it! I laughed so hard when he would deliberately scoot the leaves along to hear the rustling noise it makes. My daughter would point out the various colors on trees as we would drive down the road and so often I would have missed the beauty of God's creation if it weren't for her teaching her mama to slooooow down a little!

If you couldn't guess...yes, fall is my favorite season! I love the colors, the weather change, the crisp air, homemade caramel apples (my mother-in-law makes the best!), pumpkins...and well, everything! So, you can imagine how delighted I was when I went to my class and saw what our project was going to be! Yes, I took a class for a change! LOL It was fun being the student! Anita at Memory Lane Scrapbooking store taught me how to use my Zutter Bind-It-All machine and it was so much fun and a LOT easier than I thought! (See, there I was letting myself be intimidated by a new and different product....) The project we worked on is awesome and I love it! Anita made hers so that it would sit horizontally on a table and it's double sided so you could see it from either side. I made mine vertically and after I got home punched 2 holes in the top with my Crop-A-Dile and was able to run some ribbon through it so it can hang on my wall. Mine is double sided, too, as far as paper goes but if you were making yours to hang, you wouldn't need to do that. So here is my fun FALL project using my Bind-It-All!! I hope you like it!

Just a reminder, we now carry the new version of the Bind-It-All. There's a photo below and you can see it is pink, but the color isn't the only difference! During our Double Dips promotion would be a great time to get it for 50% off. If you are interested in doing that, let me know and I'll tell you how.

My daughter was eager to make a project with my BIA since she saw my class project! She loved it and see even a little girl can use it! LOL She made a notebook and wanted me to give you all a little message that she wrote out for me to share with you:

Hi!

I made a book out of the Cheez-It box. It was fun. I love my mom.

Kadesia

Isn't she so sweet? Here is a photo of her and her finished project!

Be sure to leave her a comment and I will help her read them! Below is the small notebook I made myself. It's out of the same box and some scrap papers inside. It is tall and skinny...great for a grocery list to tuck in my bag!

I was inspired by this Froot Loops notebook here.

Well that's all for now! Be sure to come back tomorrow when I give a very special announcement (you'll love it), share some more links to some great stuff, and I'll be giving some blog awards away! You won't want to miss it!!!

Hugs,
