Winner...no reference to C. Sheen

Do you play along in on line crops or contests? In January I participated in the 2 Peas in a Bucket CHA online crop. One of my layouts was selected (probably randomly) And this collection of Jillibean Soup was my fabulous prize!!! Thank you 2Peas!
Those little butterfly stick pins are called sugar picks and they are my favorite.
The corrugated cardboard trees came with clouds!!! I wanted to use the clouds here, but couldn't seem to fit them in...this time. I painted the trees with a paintbrush and

Mister Huey, Applejack.

The zoo has a new little area for giant tortoise encounters and while we were taking these photos I grabbed a 2 year old (not mine) who decided to climb over the low boulders and have her own close encounter with the 100 year old humongous creatures! Good news, I am still faster than a tortoise.

A Little of Both

It's the end of September and I've got fall on my mind. Of course it has been in the 90's this week. Didn't stop me from scrapping a fall pic from last year. I love love love the colors from fall photos, there is no better prop than a pile of pumpkins...I think my mostest favoritest of all. The girls and I took a trip up to the Central Coast last fall and visited the pumpkin patch at Avila Farms at Avila Beach, my parents live a few miles away.

While fall may be on my mind, this is our reality. Yesterday we took the girls to the beach. He made it very very clear that we would be leaving by 12:30PM , can't be late for Chargers kick off. Speaking of football, I wanted to take more interest in the season so that I could be more involved with something that hubby enjoys. So this is the second week that we have each picked the winners of each game and placed wagers. And this is the second week that I have WON! Oh yeah, I have picked more winners that he has for both weeks that we have played. And yesterday during the charger game I went out and collected my first week's winnings, a pedicure. Feels great to beat him, it really does. And you know what, I do pick the teams with the cutest quarterbacks. By the way, I did pick DETROIT yesterday. Have a little faith baby.

Daddy needs his rest, doesn't know that he is gonna get smoked by moi in football picks.

Yes, there are always 1000 more photos of this one, the other one just runs around.
