| tate farms |

--------------------->  We took a trip to Tate Farms this weekend to the pumpkin patch.  I'm so upset that my camera died but Aniyah loved the hay maze and picking out her pumpkin.  It was almost too cold to stay so we spent roughly an hour there and left.

It was so nice that my friend Rhonda was able to come with us.

-----------> we are off to make an attempt to carve a pumpkin. Hope you all had a fabulous weekend.

| Christmas Gifting |

------------------->   I always struggle on what to get my mothers for Christmas, yes I'm already thinking of Christmas gifts.  Each time I run across something I think they may enjoy I jot it down. So far I have three things on my list. I usually like to include something "crafty" and then the rest probably a fashion and/or beauty item.  They almost always expect me to give them something that includes something with pictures of Aniyah so I defintely put that on the list.

1.  Paislee Press | 2013 Calendar Kit
     I think this is something perfect that I can include pictures of Aniyah as well as allowing them to have a  calendar on their desks at home or either work.

2. Thierry Mugler | Alien perfume
     Absolutely love this perfume. A lot of times I don't like to purchase things for people unless I'm 100%certain that it's a fragrance that they love but I'm positive they will love this one.

3. Turbie Twist | Hair Towel
     I love my turbie twist for my wash days.  Aniyah and I both have one and for only $5.99 at Ross, it's realy worth it.


If you have any ideas or suggestions for things to get your mother and/or mother-in-law or any close friend for the Holidays please let me know. Hope everyone has a great week!

   Hi Tania I love your album and was wondering where you got the mask and the stick pins? Thanks Rhonda

   ReplyDelete
   Hi Rhonda! The stick pins are from Making Memories Spook Alley collection I believe. I'll double check that tonight and I used Making Memories Spook Alley Slice cartridge to cut the mask and then used Glossy Accents on top.

--------------------------------------------------------------->

I am definitely in need of a MAJOR closet makeover. I'm way too embarrassed to show pictures of how it looks right now but I'm thinking I'll record the before and after and post it here when I get done. Where we currently live does not have the space for the dream closet I'm thinking I want so I've been trying to find ways that I can arrange/re-arrange things but before doing that, a major purge is necessary.  I was trying to give myself some guidelines as far things I haven't worn in in the past 3 months, it HAS to go!  I'm starting tonight so wish me luck.

Exhibit A



Items I'm thinking about getting:

1.  Non-Slip hangers (TJ Maxx, Target, Marshalls, etc)

2.  Shoe shelf/racks to organize shoes

3.  Coat hooks for purses/bags, scargs, belts

If you have any ideas or tips for cleaning/organizing small closets/spaces please let me know.  Have an awesome week!

| BOO | *october afternoon

---**I fell in love with Witch Hazel the minute I saw it was to be released at CHA. I love all their Mini Books and I had fun starting this album.  I will continue to add to the pages and hopefully have a full update at the beginning of next month. Can't believe we are already in October!

| jbs wren cards |

 ---***I worked on these cards this weekend and I love how they turned out. I realized that I don't have cards on hand and it irritates me to go to the store to buy any when I have all the supplies on hand to make them myself.

---*I'm so loving the fall trend of the vampy/deep berry look going on right now.  Ever since Erica Dixon from Love & Hip Hop Atlanta wore the look on the reunion show, I've been obsessed.  Here I have MACs rebel lipstic, Revlons VaVa Violet, Jordana lip pencil in Eggplant and Essie's wicked polish.

---**This layout shares my love of the Fall trend.

---**Hope everyone will have a fabulous week. I'm having to bury myself in studying for the GMAT test.

| December Daily |

---** Yes the Holidays are approaching and I'm excited once again this year to do another Dec Daily.  Last year I didn't purchase the kit from SC and Ali Edwards but once I saw that they were collabing again this year, I submitted my pre-order. Before doing that, I already had in my mind that I was going to do something similiar to what I did last year and just use what I have on had but I also regretted not getting the kit last year and I didn't want that feeling this year. The colors may be a bit more challenging since I do love traditional red/black/white/green/golds but I will mix with my stash I'm sure.

---**I also love the album and size. I haven't worked with an album this size before so that's going to be fun. IT has a mix of chipboard, transparencies and page protectors.

---**You just can't go wrong with Ali Edwards stamps. I love them and will definitely be mixing what I have in with this album as well.

| cheers to the weekend |

----*** dropped my love off at school and cheers, it's the weekend and a long one at that! Yaaasssssssss, lol! Hope everyone will have a safe and Happy Labor Day weekend. I plan to enjoy some time with my sweetie and some football. Maybe even scrap but I doubt it, lol!

Hey Tammie...girl people are crazy! All I can do is just lift them up in prayer! I can't wait to get my stamps either. I'm so ready for the Holidays for some reason, maybe the cooler weather! Hope you have a good weekend! =) xoxo T

FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO WITH YOUR TIME 

 

Dear Anonymous (unfortunately you read this blog so you know who you are) but by definition:

 

a·non·y·mous

 [ ə nónnəməss ]   

1. unnamed: whose name is not known or not given
2. with name withheld: with the performer's, maker's, or creator's identity withheld
3. indistinctive: lacking individuality or distinctiveness

The third describes you perfectly. While I'm ok with taking personal attacks as I am an adult, what I don't take lightly is the fact that you would attack my child and then cowardly name yourself anonymous which makes you look even more pitiful. Please, clicking the link to this blog is just as easy as not clicking it.  You know who you are and you will be deleted.  Find something better to do instead of motivating me to keep doing what I'm doing.

#haters will always try to find a way to try and set you back but what do you do??????.....you keep on moving forward.

I've already wasted too much time discussing you......enough said.

*back to my regularly scheduled program........., lol!

------*** I am working on something new and beautiful that I hope will come together nicely.  I have my ideas together so hopefully it will turn out nice. OAN: So glad that it's time again for football and the fall. Almost time to bring out those Holiday decorations which is my favorite time of the year. I'm ready to wear boots and scarves again.  This picture I came from vee* over on pinterest. I absolutely love it.  Have a blessed Monday!
