And let the Holiday season craziness begin I say!

Okay so life has been so totally wicked non-stop crazy since I have been back from my northern hiatus!

I have been swamped with orders left and right getting a handful

of new ones every couple of days or so.

( That's amazing for lil' ole me)

On top of all that I have been taking care of the infamous Stinky.

She is doing worlds better now thankfully but the Vet said it would take up to 6+

months for her to heal and she may never have use of her tail again.

I am just thrilled shes walking and can go potty on her own!

Now

On to some amazingness!

Here are a few of the goodies that I picked up from

Ink About It

In Westford, MA 01886

(review to follow!)



Some wonderfully delicious paper from Websters Pages and Graphic45




An awesome Tim Holtz sticker pack, Pebbles stickers, some ADORABLE
stamps for Christmas and Halloween etc.




How absolutely sweet at these ?!




Some odds and ends




Some Flower Soft in "Autumn"
Okay folks... I CANT NOT wait to try this out
on some of my cards and layouts!!! I have so many ideas in my head !
Tell me that stuff doesnt look like actual fall leaves... I dare ya!



Now on to some of what has been keeping me so busy!

I have been cranking out some of the cutest little Holiday gift tags people!

THE. CUTEST.

I was sitting on the couch on night thinking of the card packs I make

And I said to myself

 "Self... what if we offered gift wrapping with handmade gift tags!"

Aaaand the rest was history, next thing you know I am making up whole packs

of tags for people to buy to their hearts desire.

I nearly swoon from cuteness overload each time I look at them!

On top of all this fun, last night I made some of what I think will be my favorite Christmas cards

of this whole season... yes its wonderful I know!

However, those I will be saving for tomorrows post... I cant let you in on all of my fun at once

that would be craziness! 

Im alive I swear it !!! Back from my northern hiatus, and all in one piece even!

 I am officially back from my month long hiatus to New England. Goodness that was such an amazing trip, right in the midst of Autumn on top of it all!

I will absolutely have layouts and pics up for you all shortly ( as soon as I finish unpacking that is, it seems to be taking forever!) I so badly want to just dive in and get my hands dirty with creative and scrappy goodness. But alas, I am back and there are things to be done! One of the things on my to-do list was of course to get my blog once again back up and running!

Then it was of high importance that I got my personal scrapbooking business up and running and taking orders again. (which I have been SWAMPED with, today was my first actual day back at work in my studio and I think people have been waiting because as soon as I announced my return I got FLOODED with orders... YAY!)

Unfortunately there will be no actual scrapping for a couple of days. I still have some unpacking and cleaning to do, including clothes, goodies and loads of super fun scrapbooking supplies that I got while back home.

All of that and we came home late Friday night to find our poor Stinky baby got severely injured while we were making the 1500 mile drive back to Florida.

The vet says that she is suffering from blunt force spinal trauma!!!

Our guess is she got scared when our friend came over to feed and care for them and jumped out of our high

window in the kitchen and fell rather than landed.

I havent slept for days between worrying and giving her meds, bringing her to the potty and

constantly watching her.

NOT the homecoming I had in mind.



Poor Stinky (that is her nickname, her actual name is Lady haha) laying down after
her trip to the emergency vet because
that is pretty much all she can do for now.



What are the rest of you up to, and what has everyone been up to while Ive been gone, I feel like there is loads of catching up to do! 

I will leave you all with a few of my personal favorite pictures from our trip home.
(brace yourselves its about to get very picture heavy!)

Fall shopping...

Happy hello to all of my friends and wonderful readers!

My little New England adventure has been nothing short of AMAZING so far.

I do love being up here more than anything but it honestly doesn't leave much time for blogging.

I have been so busy with activities and with visiting family that

I have not stopped once !

I wanted to let you all know that I am very much alive and kicking up here in the

'Shire!

For now I will leave you with this lovely picture taken this afternoon.

I will be along shortly with a proper post!



As promised (Finally Friday part deux)

I am back!

And I bring with me pictures of a last minute layout I just did this afternoon.

Hoorah!

So I am pretty much in lurve with it and I am so happy that

I decided to make a layout today.

See you all soon!
