A Few Pages to Share

A few weeks ago I started to scrapbook a few of the pictures from when we went to Disneyland for my Birthday in April. I am almost finished with all of the pictures from the trip so I thought I would share a few of those now.
I love how all of these pages came out it was a lot of fun to sit and scrapbook these.
I will share a few more pages in the next few days. I am off to Los Angeles in a few days for Jen's wedding so I am busy getting things ready to go. Have a great day!

I need this...

This cool new letterpress machine that is. Just have to figure out where to put it....

Finally Finished a Knitting Project!

So I actually have some knitting to share! It seems like months have gone by and I haven't finished a knitting project at all. Meet Ishbel, a beautiful shawl pattern that I found via my friend Jen. She mentioned the pattern and I went and looked at it and had to have one!
It is currently sitting on our living room floor being blocked but should be dry soon, and now that it is starting to feel like fall here I am sure I will get to wear it very soon.
It was actually a really quick knit, I finished it in about a week which was nice since I haven't been doing a lot of knitting in the past month. More projects to share soon!

September Already?

September is going to be a great month. It already feels like fall here, although I wish it would stay a little warmer for a few more weeks. Here are some things I am looking forward to this month:

*Finishing some knitting projects, and starting some new ones too

*Going to Stitches MidWest and getting some fun new yarn to play with

*Working on some fun scrapbooking projects

*Going to Los Angeles for a week and spending time with great friends

*Jen's Wedding!!

September is going to be great, I can tell already!

A Mini Book to Start the Week

Happy Monday everyone! I have been a little mini book crazy lately. Here is a mixed paper mini that I made a few weeks ago. The cover is two envelopes put together. Everything is held together with ribbon.
Here is the inside, I used a variety of blue and green papers that I had in my stash.
A page with a clear envelope to hold small things.

Now all I need to do is figure out what pictures to fill it up with!

Hope everyone has a great week!

what I have been up to lately...

August has been on very busy month! I have been going to concerts. (above photo is of The Killers playing Lollapalooza)
Spent some time in New York City.
Saw Jason Mraz.
*Made 200 flowers for Jen's wedding.

*Played Nanny for a week to two little girls.

*Worked.

It's no wonder this month has disappeared from me! I have also been working on some other projects the past few weeks that I will show off this week, even some knitting, I promise!

Hope your August has been fun-filled!
