Each day I will try and post the ABC's of me one letter a day...
1. Apple lover (Love this time of the year!)
2. I take all my pictures in the AV /Aperture priority mode (since Karen Russell class)
3. Love my Apple Ipod (or would this go under I)
4. Australia is somewhere I'd love to visit one day
5. Acceptance I have come to a point in my life of acceptance of the things I cannot change.

How did this happen?  Chelsea is a senior this year and this is the first that it is really beginning to sink in.  Today we had to order her cap and gown, she will be measured when she gets to school.  And order the announcements!  Too many choices of nothing I really liked? and yikes are they expensive?
She also signed up for the New York City trip, which I hope I can go along as a chaperone!

Took a card class last night, a Christmas card class!  It seems every year I want to make my own cards.  Maybe not for everyone on my list but at least some hand made cards and either I don't have the idea or I don't have the time.  So when this card class was offered I thought why not get my ideas starting to flow and find something cute, simple and fun to make for Christmas.  I was very happy...

While the Indians were awesome, my dissappointment tonight was in the biggest loser.  My favorite person to win was Phil.  He seemed to work the hardest (including the challenge tonight that Amy quit early on - he kept it going and won for their team)and always be there for his team and when they voted him off - that just pissed me off!  The logical choice would have been for Amy to go so I don't...

These games are awesome, nail bitting, stomach churning fun!  They keep me up late and for that matter, they keep everyone else up in the house because of my screaming :) - Last nights game was no different.  While the first 5 innings were quiet Casey Blake hit a solo home run and then things just started rolling!

I ordered 199 pictures from Scrapbookpictures yesterday.  Guess its been a while since I've placed an order.


  

 Another Awesome Game!

OMG!  I get nothing done once that game starts, I can't pull myself from the screen.  And what an awesome game it was!  When Lofton hit that homerun  everyone was cheering, I was screaming - although my family is used to my baseball enthusiasm.  It was so fun just watching the fans in the stadium and around downtown Cleveland! 
 
 
Just because something...

Trish be recognized for her awesome Work In Progress Kits at Willow Traders
This is such an awesome kit - she deserves all the recognition she gets!
Here's some of my playing with this months kit.  I found these books at Catans and knew I wanted to make something with them.  And once I got my November WORK IN PROGRESS kit and the add on I knew what I wanted to do. 

 
 

  Every year in the fall Medina County does the Fall Foliage Tour. We used to go every year and then it was either a busy weekend or bad weather that kept us from going. Today couldn't have been better weather for a day touring Medina and the stops on the tour.
We began at Buckeye Woods (a favorite place of the kids and me to walk the dog or go on a bike ride) Chelsea tried out the stilts and...

We had a good time at the reunion and it was so nice to see everyone. Although there were a lot of people I still didn't know. It's funny how people look at you and remember you by your maiden name and yet you almost forgot about that person because for the past 23 years I'm known as Mrs. and Mom. Even Zach questioned my name tag of why it said both names on it.
Seeing everyone was fun and flattering...
