I smell CANDY!

I've been busy this morning hopping around the blogosphere finding some awesome blog candy giveaways! Some are over on the sidebar so be sure to check them out too!

First, we have PinkLilac's Celebration Birthday candy with lots of yummy goodies and adorable stamped images.

Next pop over to Litte's Stash & Dash for a Blogaversary Candy. Ooh there are 3 different candies! You need to get on over there! Oh the possibilities!

Jill's Scrappy Daze (I know, totally cute pun there right!?!) has some candy to celebrate her graduation - congrats Jill! Check it out and pass on your congrats to her as well! She's got lots of fun embellies that I would love to get my hands on.

And last, but most definitely not least, is the Handmade Treasures candy! It is for Fall, back to school and Thanksgiving. I don't know about you, but my Fall stash is pretty bare. I could really use some help in this department. And I need the House Mouse Buzzy Friends stamp - too cute!

I've been crafty!

I have a gathering on September 19th and these are what we will be making. I am so excited about the ghost card! I think I will add a little Boo! sentiment too, just haven't gotten to that yet.

The bookmark says "May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy" I just love this stamp set!

Is this not the cutest stinkin' little ghost ever?

If you would like more info on the products I used to make this card or any of the projects, please leave a comment - I'll be glad to share!

Furbaby Pics are up!

Head over to Life with 4 Purrs to see my "babies" when they were, well, babies. Orange furry adorableness awaits!

Some Oldies

For some reason, for the last week or 2 I've been using my old desktop. Perhaps it is the nicer keyboard and mouse? Or more probably it is the fact that the connection speed is much faster down here. I was reluctant to "work" on it for the last year because it is located in our basement, where we have boxes of old stuff that we haven't parted with, yet. Well we cleaned the basement a little and so my old trusty friend was more accessible and also more appealing. Well, as usually happens when I switch computers, I found some fun "old" pics. Let's reminisce, shall we?

My first apartment in Ruston, Louisiana. They tore them down last year to make more room for the university apartments...or maybe parking. Either way, its no longer there! Sadly, this place was decorated nicer than I feel my house is.

My awesome cake I made in a Wilton class in 2007. No. I haven't made one since. But I'm feeling inspired after seeing this. I took this class so I could do kids cakes...you know, when I get around to actually having kids.
From college, when Oscar was not quite a year old. Napping on my face was apparently the most comfortable place in the apartment. LOL! I don't look bothered by it, but then again I was probably crashing from an all-nighter!

I found several cute pics of the cats too and plan to share them later this week or early next. You don't want to miss the adorable-ness, trust me!
