Happy September

Happy September, everyone!

Goodness, can you believe we are fast approaching the fall/winter season with all the wonderful weather changes and holidays. Everyone needs to get those cameras ready. My mind just races with the possibilities of wonderful moments to capture in my scrapbooks.

I'm looking forward to this month. Jessica will be celebrating her birthday on 9-ll. Even though I won't be able to spend that day with her it will still be a day of celebration. The birth of each of my children hold wonderful memories and it's always something to stop and praise God for. The week after her birthday I will be spending time with her. I will be in Hochatown, Oklahoma with a group of friends. We will be spending 4 glorious days relaxing and scrapbooking. Yipee! I can hardly wait!!!!!!

I'm also excited because my new grandson's birth date, Oct. 28, is quickly approaching. I'm also excited because my son, Joe Nathan will be celebrating his 26th birthday on Oct. 29 and who knows he may get an extra special gift if baby, _______ James Kelly (1st name still undecided) decides to be a tad bit late.

I hope everyone is settling into the routine of having kids back in school. I THINK I'm finally adjusting to my "school time schedule". That makes me happy because I'm beginning to find a little more time in my schedule to work on page kits. I still have so many "ideas" floating around in my head. I wish that I was more like Jessica when it comes to the designing part------her paper just "falls" into wonderful layouts. Let me tell you, I have to labor over mine! =)

I'm still working on packaging the last two kits that have been added. I'm sure I'll have them all put together before the weekend comes to a close. I've made my list and I'm checking off all the "to do-s" as I go. I love making lists------it makes me so happy to check off something that I've completed-----that's why my list consist of many SMALL steps. =)

I want to thank each of you for stopping by and visiting my blog. I appreciate each of you taking the time to do that. I especially want to thank each of you that take even more of your valuable time to drop me a line. You guys have no idea how much I appreciate your words of encouragement. You guys are truly a blessing and I thank God for you.

May your day be full of God's presence! It's all because of Him and His great love for us!

DANDELIONS - Designed by Diane Kelly

Superkid - Designed by Diane Kelly

I've include precut letters so that this layout can be titled "Super kid" or Super dad". These photos were taken of Stephen in Jan. '09. The Superman suit he's wearing, I made in Oct. '79 for his daddy, Jonathan. I journaled the story of the suit and included a couple small photos of Jonathan wearing it. Oh, the memories----that's why we scrapbook!!! Please, think outside the box for this layout. I know most of you probably don't have an almost 30 yr. old Superman suit tucked away somewhere. I think a Superman t-shirt would work while maybe reading a Superman book or playing with a Superman toy. A Super dad wouldn't need a "costume" at all.

Fright Night (2) - Designed by Diane Kelly

Title is printed on white cardstock. You just need to cut them out leaving a small white border and then adhere them to black cardstock and cut out again leaving a black border to give them the "shadowed" effect. The ghosts are created out of vellum to give them that "see through" look. =) You may notice that Jessica has a "Fright Night" kit using the same pattern paper-----well, I found a bag of the remains from those kits and designed another using the same product plus added a little extra. Because of the way this layout came about, I was only able to package 9 kits. So if you want one don't wait too long.
