Halloween Goodies


Because I had nothing else to do today; only a class party to plan and a costume to sew.... I had some much fun though! I made these fun treat bags for the girls at Emily's cheer - I love photoshop!

Autumn in West Linn


I was in awe last fall at the drive into my neighborhood, the leaves changing color was spectacular -this year I made sure to get a few pictures. It is truly beautiful; it seems to change daily and increase in intensity. I am so blessed to witness this amazing view everyday!
