Post #2 for today! So scroll down! if you missed visiting over the weekend you won’t want to miss what has been shared 😀

Another EXCITING day here! I have so many amazing things going on, I’m just plain grateful and ecstatic! October is a good month! 

I think I am going to have to apologize for my use of black this countdown! I basically paired everything with it this month, for some odd reason! I was just FEELING black with a pop of X color! You will see what I mean! LOL!

Today I am using BOTH of the NEWEST My Timeless Templates: Around Town Tote © & Cash or Charge Trio ©

The FUN part to today’s post is the focus on VERSATILITY! Now we are using (like all my posts this countdown) all the same colors and elements on each project and getting a cool NEW look each time! This goes to show how versatile it all really is! You don’t need ton’s of supplies or even ideas to get MANY MANY various, amazing projects!! Also I LOATHE mass producing. This allows me to use the same products and elements but on DIFFERENT projects so I’m not recreating the same’ol BORING thing 😀

So without further delay…….

Pretty in Pink gift set

Now ALL these projects can fit inside the standard version of the Around Town Tote ©!

Can you see how each has the same elements, but each a fab look? (all supplies listed/linked at end of post)

Wouldn’t you just die if someone gave you stuff in all of this? I’d feel pretty special 😀

First we will see Around Town Tote ©

I LOVE this!

I used my Slice cartridge to create the bird “mask” in which I stamped in my text, then flowers from the Life set. It’s just such a stunning and SIMPLE way to make this bag a real WOW! The tag I used the leaf image from 2009 Autumn tags and added the flowers from Life to it! A whole new look don’t you think?

Clean, simple and easy!!

Now here are my side details

I used the In Bloom paper on my side panels. Another simple decorative element that shows the attention that is needed to the SIMPLEST of details!

I LOVE packaging up Lindt chocolates-so get use to seeing them this season! LOL! Its my GO TO gift idea 😀

As you can see I opted for NO handles on this one. I liked the look for this one without it.

Now we move on to Cash or Charge Trio © samples

Cash or Charge © #1 Wonderful Wallet

Going with the bird theme……I used the SAME tag idea, and used Birds of a Feather in the center. I love it!

Now this template flap generally ties closed! But I made a belly band for it instead.

Slide off the band……

and you have your gift card reveal! My FAVE! Dunkin’s coffee 😀 As you can see NO score lines on this one 😀 There is a slit that gift cards fit into perfectly (or cash!) you will REALLY love this one! I swear 😀

Now we will go onto Cash or Charge #2

Pretty in Pink Pillow Pocket

OH MY WORD! Is this not STUNNING?

Just a pretty simple pink box with a fab tag!

This is the SAME flat pocketbook style template! There is a embossing template that comes with this, so you can create these side panels, and make this template a PILLOW style box-with a ultra cool handle!!

Now on this I used that same embossing template to make my decorative side panels for my box outside! I told you, you will LOVE this particular template in the trio! I’m just over the moon with it.

The tag used the NEW! Giga Guideline, and NEW! Background Basics Text Style II!! You will LOVE it!

Now using the SAME elements once again…last but certainly NOT least……

Cash or Charge #3

Now pretty is this when you use ALL of the layering templates it comes with?

Now did you realize that this can be not ONLY a FAB gift card/cash holder, but a rockin card too?

This is the insert pulled out. Its so simply pretty! I love that.

So here we uses ALL the same elements and got several FRESH looks.

What do you think? Are you seeing lots of gift card holders in your future, and fancy schmancy gift totes?? I know I am 😀

Supplies:

My Timeless Template: Cash or Charge Trio ©, Around Town Tote ©
Stamps:Background Basics: Text Style II, Giga Guidelines, Life, 2009 Spring & Autumn Tags

Happy Monday! 

Well today it is time for a peek at the latest and greatest release from Pink Cat Studio Stamps 😀

I am so excited to share a new release this month called Itty Bitty Christmas!

These sets will be available on Wednesday Oct 14th!

I have 2 samples to share today!

First up-O’Christmas Tree

How cute is she? I feel like I’m always saying that! LOL! Its so true though.

I went with the expected Christmas combo-and I like it 😀 I used some OLD stripped paper to tie in my colors here, and a tag from K&Co. last year’s paper stack. I usually hoard stuff I love, but it was TIME to say bye! bye!

I think it was finally put to good use!

This was made during my mojo rut :C So again she was simple and cute.

Next up I have Fairy Christmas

her candy-cane wings just crack me up! Same colors here. Nothin fancy! She was cute enough.

I pierced a swirly fairy trail, and added some snowflakes.

The border is a Martha punch. I love red, pink, new leaf, and gray all together. So bright, cheery and FUN!

Well this isn’t the last of the samples by far!

Check out Melissa’s blog for all the designers samples 😀

AND get this! 2 of my best friends are this month’s Guest Designers!!

Tracey & MacKenzie

WOOT! WOOT!!

So check out their work too!
Tracey’s comments about me got me all teary! Hugs to you my friend 😀 You are the best!

 On another note: You may have noticed (or not) that I haven’t had a My Time to Create Challenge in a couple of weeks. After MUCH agonizing I realized that I HAD to stop my challenges here. I am just to stretched thin these days. I meant to post something sooner, but have had more going on than anyone even knows. All good stuff!!!! Just stuff I can’t really share yet. That being said……I don’t have the appropriate time to dedicate to that and everything else. Sometimes we need to cut back, and prioritize! It is hard to have to stop something or say NO! but the time has come where I have other things (all stamping related :D) that are filling that space right now. I have many goals (and limited time) and a family to tend to. My kids are older and the demands are greater (that is not a complaint :D-just a fact). So that being said I had to end the challenges here.

I will still have the occasional challenge or something…but nothing weekly!!!

Now-my dear friends have decided to not only continue the challenges, but kick it up a few notches!!! They have all dedicated a blog and everything to it! It is called Just Us Girls and you can find them —-> HERE!! Seriously FUN! So check it out. I’m so proud of each of them and hope to support them in any way I can. They are each SO talented and fabulous! I’m happy to call them my friends. What can I say? They just ROCK!

 Now one last announcement!!

I am taking part in sponsoring a HUGE giveaway for a GREAT cause!!! You will REALLY want to check this out —->HERE!!!!

So thank you for stopping by! More to come tomorrow!

 Day two of peeks starts now 😀

I can’t tell you how excited I get to reveal another template! I often forget what I created until we get to the next release! LOL! We have so much stuff done ahead of time that it is all a BLUR! Once I get that template the ideas just flow all over again, as they did the day the project was designed. Its REALLY cool to see something you created used by so many!

In a recent publication of PaperCrafts Magazine I saw 2 of the My Timeless Templates used in there! Of course I scrambled to find my copy while writing this, and my hubby said he thinks he trashed it! (That is another story!! LOL!) So I can’t say what mag or the pages (sadly), but be on the lookout!

I can’t tell you how cool it is to see others designs with the template’s,  out in the world! Better yet the emails I receive from the reaction people get from those who receive their creations using them 😀 UNBELIEVABLE!

Well I hope you enjoyed yesterdays peeks at the Holiday Tags 2009, and the NEWEST My Timeless Template : Cash or Charge Trio! As I said in my previous post the templates/stamps are NOT released until the 15th 😀 I have SO many FAB ideas to share this week with ALL of those, so make sure you check in tomorrow for MORE 😀

Today I have my next peek to share, using our second template this month called : Around Town Tote!

I also snuck in the NEW! Holiday Button Bits too 😀

You will really love this one for sure! It has the large standard size, as well as the Pretty Petite version.

Here is the concept project (usually a quickie sample so that there is a general idea of what all those cut and score lines look like assembled!)

About the template: Around Town Tote

Let’s be honest, sometimes we just need a gift bag! But, just because it’s a “bag” doesn’t mean it doesn’t have to be fabulous! Remember gift packaging is the FIRST impression to the gift you are giving! You wouldn’t go to a job interview in your PJ’s would you? Why not make the packaging a gift in itself? This rounded top style is so pretty, and not only is it sure to please, but people won’t believe you actually made it yourself!  Just add any decorative paper to the side panels, and you have a terrific trendy bag, designed by you, for any occasion. ONE store bought gift bag, like these, can easily cost you the price you pay for a one time purchase of unlimited use of this template! The gift bag you only get to use ONCE! The template, both sizes, one price, unlimited possibilities!

As you can clearly see…it has a rounded top, and angled sides.

The template has a FULL rounded top decorative layer (I chose to cut mine down here), and of course the decorative side panels, which lend a world of design options!

Here is my project: Holly Jolly Tote Set

Talk about Raspberry Fizz being  a FAB replacement for the traditional red & green!!

This the the set, using Around Town Tote, I designed for today’s sample.

The standard tote is 8 1/4 inches TALL, 5 1/2 inches WIDE (at the smallest point at bottom) to 6 3/4 inches WIDE (at largest point) and 2 inches DEEP (at bottom)

The Pretty Petite version is 4 inches TALL, 2 3/4 inches WIDE (at smallest point at bottom), to 3 1/2 inches WIDE (at largest point) and 1 1/4 inches DEEP (at bottom)

So both are  really FAB sizes for MANY gift giving ideas!!

Here is the standard:

The is the larger version of the tote. I used the Holly Leaf image from Holiday Button Bits and my heart buttons in Raspberry fizz. I have to say I LOVE the look. I always feel like I do “detailed” projects for my countdown stuff. I really wanted to show you how you can SIMPLIFY and still get that WOW! Let’s be honest, when creating holiday gift packaging, time is NOT generally on our side! So I think that while this is SIMPLE, its still amazing 😀 This project (standard size only) took under 10 minutes to make (includes template assembly!). Now I LOVE that 😀

I added the sentiment from Snowflake Serenade. It was just perfect-o!

Now for my Petite version

This may be smaller but is JUST as fab!

 I used the ornament hangers from the Everyday Button Bits set, and again some buttons! I wanted them to be SIMILAR.

The buttons on this ROCK! One looks like a snowflake (to me) the other has tinsel, and then glitter! Can’t go wrong.

You can make someone a gift set of punched tags (using the 2009 holiday tags :D) and put them inside or make MINI note-cards for people, and put them in the mini version. Its sure to be a hit 😀 We all need and LOVE pretty tags! They are also easy to mass produce. I’d pick a plain color wrapping paper, then design a group of tags to match and give that to someone BEFORE the holiday 😀 Or for a hostess 😀

Wait till you see the EXCLUSIVE design ideas that come with the Template purchase! AMAZING!

OK another COOL presentation for this is to tie the Pretty Petite version, to the standard version!

Isn’ that just SO pretty! I think I’d be more excited about what may be in the little one! Now this can also fit a gift card too 😀 But I see all sorts of candies or something YUM like that. Its just so darn purty.

I have to say Raspberry Fizz, New Leaf and a pop of black are calling to me this season 😀

OH one more view since I couldn’t decide what photo was better! LOL!

Are you not LOVING the heart buttons as my holly berries? So cute.

I just love this SIMPLE set!

Supplies:

My Timeless Template: Around Town Tote

Stamps: Holiday Button Bits, Snowflake Serenade

Cardstock: White, New Leaf, Raspberry Fizz

Ink: black, Raspberry Fizz, New Leaf

Well I hope you like MY version of what I gift bag should be 😀

In the meantime there is MORE eye candy for you:

Kelly and Laurel have some peeks using the NEW templates too So check’em out!!

Then be sure to check out more fab stuff from Nichole!

More stuff coming from  Dawn, and  Heather who all who have releases this month.

That is all for me today. Tomorrow I have even more FAB gift idea, just in time for the holidays! So put on that fave Christmas CD for another post full of fun.

Thanks for stopping by.

I can’t believe it’s the 10th ALREADY!! Can I get WAHOO!!

My favorite time of the month is this week 😀

The Papertrey Ink Design Team has been hard at work this month! Wait until you see all the yumminess Nichole has lined up for you this week. You will be ready to go shopping, get your Christmas cards done, and put up your tree!

I’m VERY excited to share my peeks with you this week.

Today I am featuring a stamp set additon, to what has become a POPULAR tradition to Papertrey Ink-the 2009 Holiday Tags set!

OH! Wait until you see all the great tags in this set.  I honestly didn’t know WHERE to start! Since I MAKE all my own gift packaging this set was SCREAMING out to me 😀

After MUCH debate, I finalized that I would use my favorite tag, and use it with my NEWEST My Timeless Template ©. Now, I will be using the SAME tag, colors, and elements, create my different gift packaging! You will see first hand you don’t need TONS of supplies or ideas to get so much use from ONE general idea. Plus I don’t want to spoil ALL the fun!

Now here is a close up of my favorite tag in the set-Designed by Melissa Bickford

Mistletoe

I just loved that it was SIMPLE, yet I could quickly add some color-for that POP! I used a clear glaze pen to make my berries 3 D.

I LOVE Red, Avocado and Black together. LOVE. So I went with that for this post.

With the holidays coming we are ALL always thinking about GIFTS! What to give this one, or that one.

One of the most POPULAR gifts, is the gift of SHOPPING! Be it CASH or GIFT CARDS, it is by far one of the best gifts to give and receive. Who doesn’t love being able to shop at their FAVE place for FREE?! LOL!

One of the biggest “problems” in giving the gift of $ has been versatile, and neat ways to PRESENT them.

I have today the latest peek at the NEWEST My Timeless Template: Cash or Charge ©

NOTE: Stamp set and templates are not being released until Octber 15th!!

Here is my gift trio using the My Timeless Template : Cash or Charge ©

Introducing a FAB template TRIO!!

Yes I said TRIO! Meaning – THREE for the price of ONE!!

This is a set of three templates , ALL designed with the idea of packaging up those gifts of CASH or plastic gift cards! A gift we ALL love to give and receive. Generally there aren’t too many amazing ways to present these gifts, so we hope to change that for you now! These FAB gifts deserve their own fun packaging, other than being stuffed in a envelope.  Each template is fun, easy and sure to make them say WOW!

I will share with you, over the next few days how these templates are not only AWESOME cash or gift card holders, but can be so much more 😀

Cash or Charge #1

Write Up

This is the perfect holder for……you guessed it! Cash or Gift Cards! This is a no fuss, perfect holder. Now you don’t have to throw it in a card or envelope that it comes with. There aren’t enough ways to dress up those super easy, great for everyone on the list-cash or gift cards, but now you have one. Perfect template for any and every time you want to give such a gift! This looks like a box from the sides, but it’s front design looks like a wallet. Totally adaptable to anyone you give it to.

This template is a “wallet” style.

This leaves a whole world of decorative opportunities too.

There is a decorative layer for JUST the front flap, or for the front flap-which is carried around to the back. You will see more of that later.

For this one I just stamped a panel to match on the back.

We have 2 options for this one-1) with minimal score lines 2) NO score lines! Either way super WOW! made SIMPLE!

It has a flap closure, which when unfolded, reveals a slot for your gift card or cash to insert into!

The template has 2 holes placed  so that you can use ribbon to “tie” it closed.

On this sample I decided I would create a belly band instead.

Once band is taken off you can see it reveals my card, which fits PERFECTLY into the slot 😀 Nice and snug too.

Cash or Charge #2

Write Up

Just when you thought you’d seen it all! We have the perfect Purse Style wrap for those gift cards or cash! The way this gift card holder opens is definitely fun, and sure to WOW the receiver. Gift cards and cash never looked so good! If you are tired of the typical ways to present such gifts, then this is the template for you! It also makes a super cute and cool birthday invitation! Dry emboss the side panels and you have a 3D Pillow Purse gift box! Endless Purse-abilities!

Using the same design elements we have another variation.

These are SO fun.

This particular template in the TRIO is SO versatile, as you will see over the next couple of days! We won’t *just* use them as gift card holders(wink)

As you can see, it looks just like a shopping bag, when designed as you see here!

The COOL part to this is the handle tucks into the slot, and holds this closed.

Again so many possibilities!

This is the open view.

(PS SORRY! All I had for GC was a Hannaford one! LOL!)

Once open (you can use the decorative mat layer as an added layer) you can put in slits to hold your gift card (as I did here), or you can just adhere it inside.

Here comes the FUN part…..

You will also see (really soon!) that when you use the scoring side panels that come with it, it can become a pillow box with a handle, OR by tucking in the handle it can become *just* a pillow box! I have so much up my sleeve for these gift card holders over the next few days, your head will begin to SPIN with ideas, trust me!

Cash or Charge #3

Write Up

Are you looking for the perfect way to package up that cash or gift card? Look no further! This pocket is perfect! Just pull the tab, and the perfect gift-the gift that keeps on giving, is revealed.

The front panels can tie together. 

 Punch a hole through the top tab and it appears to be just like a fancy shopping bag.

You can also use the template as a fun way to create a card.

This is a pull out pocket style.

Super cute for gift cards or cash but ALSO a fun card style too.

I love the way the two front folds meet together!! You can tie them closed, use buttons, brads….or just use an image-like a circle over the center. SO many possibilities.

This has a perfect decorative panel for the middle as well as the 2 “wings”, leaving you so many styles to create.

Now all you do is pull up on the tab……

and it will reveal your treatlet!!

Now you can also use the 2009 Holiday Tag set “To: and From:” as I did here to fill out your info!

Isn’t the insert so cute too?

As I said endless possibilities!

Supplies:

My Timeless Template: Cash or Charge ©
Stamps: 2009 Holiday Tag Collection, Background Basics Retro, Believe
Cardstock: White, Pure Poppy, Basic Black
Patterned Paper: Bitty Dot Basics
Ink:Black, Copic Markers
Ribbon: stitched black, pure poppy twill

Just wait, as there is MUCH more to come 😀

We have LOTS more to show you, so be sure you come back tomorrow. You will get to see our 2nd template for the month. It has a standard and Pretty Petite version too 😀

In the meantime there is MORE eye candy for you:

Then be sure to check out more fab stuff from Nichole!

More stuff coming from  Dawn, and  Heather who all who have releases this month.

Till tomorrow 😀

Hi everyone

Sorry I’m so MIA-but I have LOTS of eye candy to come, I swear! With all my hustling my mojo is coming back 😀 YEAH!

Sadly I have 344 photos to edit before I can really share too much :C That should tell you something 😀 Plus I have dates to wait for too.

As I shared the other day, my family played hookie from school so we could all go to the annual Deerfield Fair! This is something we do EVERY year, and all look forward to. This was by far the easiest year with the kids. No needing to LUG too much stuff, and Alexa is much stronger and was able to keep up with all the walking. Usually she has a hard time getting around all day long.

Really a FAB time, except for the CHILL.

This year was especially FABULOUS because  Amber won FIRST PLACE for a Sunflower she painted!! It was featured at the Fair 😀

Here it is

Isn’t it so cute?? She just loves to do anything crafty. Melts my heart.

 I was so excited about this.

This is the first time we had anything featured at the fair 😀 We didn’t know she won first place-until we got there. I could have done a cartwheel for her. She can’t wait to get it back and buy a special frame for it. OK that part was my idea! LOL! But I really was proud of her.

Here we are – posing in front of her flower

Sorry-I went with Black & white because when Jay took the photo it was a bit out of focus, and this was the ONLY one I had of us here, so it looked better in B&W

Here she is with daddy

See mommy knows how to take a good photo-first try! LOL!

Here she is later with the clown

She is a camera HOG 😀 Most kids would run from teh clown (as Alexa did! LOL!) but not Amber-she loved her.

This is how poor Noah spent the day at the fair! He cracks me up.

I have to say it was especially STINKY this year :C He isn’t big on me getting any pictures of him.

I do love this one though-taken right before he lost his 2 top teeth, one right after the other. No bottoms in this one.

I felt the need to share it as he is MIA in most of these photos.

Visiting the sheep is one of Alexa’s FAVORITE things to do. Most are so friendly. They all flock to her when she goes to the gate, and that makes her feel like the sheep whisperer! LOL! She gets SO excited.

Here we have the trio

We always get a photo in front of the pumpkin winners. This year was busy and people kept passing in front of the camera, so this was the quick shot.

Got one with dad in there too….

 Fun to see how much changes year to year……

IT was chilly! I had 3 sweaters on that day, and still a bit cool. It was like 50 degrees. To ME that is freezing to be out all day

Now here I am again with my crazy girls-Noah didn’t want in :C

Alexa is mocking me here-gotta lover her sense of humor! She always makes fun of my “posing” for the camera smile stuff.

As you can see my hair is VERY short!!! But I’m OK with it-I think.

Well I figure I should share at least ONE card with you-

I made this a few weeks ago, and forgot to share it-I’ve needed some BOYISH cards, so here goes…

Ruffles has a birthday!

This image is beyond perfect for a birthday card! BEYOND!

It is called Ruffles Party. I think its beyond cute. Best part of these images is they are so gender neutral, which is a plus when you have girls AND boys. My mojo was still away when I made this, so I kept it simple. I love the COLOR. I don’t think it needed to be overdone with tons of layering.

I had a blast coloring it most. I have been itching to use it for some time now, and was FINALLY able to ink’er up.

Cute, detailed , but not too overwhelming.

I felt it was boyish until my son pointed out the fact I added a PINK button-and colored a pink balloon! I could just slap myself! He said its NOT a boy card if it has ANY girl colors-like pink. A point I will remember in the future!! I would not have thought otherwise, had he not said that.

Well thanks for hanging in with me and ALL my craziness. I know NONE of it makes sense till you see WHAT I have been working on, in between family. I have a lot on my plate these days, and its ALL good stuff!!

I feel so blessed to be where I am in my life right now. So blessed with my family (especially),and  myself-coming into my 30’s I know what I want, where I want to go, and HOW to get there (I think! LOL!), I have gotten healthy and stayed that way, I have continued with my "career"/ hobby. I have set so many new goals and am working so hard to just make it all happen.

So, while I get it all done, I appreciate all of you who stop by and visit. I have especially enjoyed a recent flood of kind emails from readers who have totally brightened my day, and made my remember why I keep trying to push forward and better my best.

You all make my time shared here so worth every moment.

I really just open up my life and every ounce of me. Its cool to be able to do so.

THANK YOU!!

Hi everyone!

Hope you all had a FAB weekend. I know we certainly did.

We went to the Deerfield Fair, and celebrated my hubby’s birthday. I’ll share some cute photos this week, and you can see my hair that I cut off! LOL! Its just below my shoulders now-EEK! I’m getting use to it, and actually like it-when I straighten it, anyway! Something different.

What did you all do yesterday for WCMD?

Nichole has some challenges, so take a peek!

On WCMD I actually got to stamp ALL day (preparing for my template release)! Now my back is killing! LOL! I stand to stamp, I just can’t SIT, so it took its toll on my poor back. I tried not to hunch forward, but apparently I failed miserably at that quest.

Add that to the fact that my card making mojo has been lost! I cannot find it. I do not know WHERE it went! I just know I can’t for the life of me get ANYTHING to workout! Maybe I’m over-thinking things???? Not sure. I just know what usually takes me a few moments, has turned into a LONGER process, and I’m NOT liking it ONE bit! That is what happens when I take a “break”. Now my breaks are never intentional-I just usually have this little thing called a FAMILY (LOL!), and they need to eat, and clean clothes are always a plus! I know YOU KNOW what I mean! Let’s not forget teacher meetings, doctor appointments, and the MANY activities they all par-take in! So sometimes before you know it its been DAYS since I have seen ink and images :C If I have a break its usually hard to get back into it. The MORE I stamp the easier the ideas just flow and keep coming.

Anyway….I have more samples for you today!

Tomorrow is the October Release at All That Scraps! Check out the blog for your chance to win some FREE rubbah!

6 sets are being released:

AmyR Congrats sentiments

Angel Emma

Swiss Pixie Birthday Bash

Swiss Pixie Birgitta

Pond Life

and Reason for Season

So don’t miss out 😀

First up-

The Angels Sing

I adored the angel trio Christine has drawn. I kept it SIMPLE, and I loved the outcome.

I had this music bkgd stamp-forever, and rarely get to use it. It was perfect, stamped in gold on this creation.

My mojo is still on vacation, so I find starting off simple is often best for me.

As you can see she is 3D. Her arms, and horn are on dimensionals. I have to say making things POP forward is so easy, but definitely packs that little something extra, and is well worth the time 😀

I colored her halo with a gold pen, and glittered her wings (of course!)

Next up we have a Cupcake Pup

One thing I DON’T do enough of-BOYISH style/gender neutral stuff! So I tried to keep it neutral/boyish here.

I think the dog is cute, and who doesn’t love cupcakes??

I then added some Liquid applique on the “frosting” part. You cannot tell but I added glitter prior to heat setting 😀

The buttons were used to create a “balloon” bouquet.

I had that FUN ribbon from American Crafts for quite some time, I just love it! It was perfect with my colors on this too.

Now last, but not least-Birgitta

I think she is SOOOO cute 😀 I really love all the Swiss Pixie’s most of all. How can you not?

Again-simple card-no mojo here! LOL! I did have fun coloring her though

A little close up view

Well that is all for me today. More time with the kids today, before its back to the daily grind.

Hope you enjoyed your weekend.

Oh, and if you find my mojo, kindly return it to me! I have too much to do for it to be lost :C

As always, thanks for stopping by 😀
