NEW September and October Layouts and Cards

Sep '25 Scrappin 2

Hi Cheryl- We missed you!! Is this yard larger than the one at Priscilla's home?
I've always wanted one of those yard poles where you can change the flags/banners for the seasons.
what is a plate cozy? Nice you supported local crafts people.

Sorry I have been MIA!! Outside yard work and regular work has just got me behind. Now that mowing is about over and the only thing left to do outside is trim my bushes, I should be able to drop in a bit more. I don't think I have created anything in almost a month!! I went to a local Arts & Crafts Festival for Labor Day. It was fun! I bought 3 flags for small yard pole. One is for fall, one is for Halloween, and one is for Christmas. I also bought a plate cozy, bowl, cozy and cup cozy some ladies had sewn. I had some ribbon fries and hand squeezed lemonade to drink. After I got back, I got all of my fall decorations out and put them up. It was a nice relaxing day.

Tuesday

Terry- Doug and Charity came over for dinner yesterday. SIL, Rose had plans. We splurged and bought filets. They were so good. Rum did an excellent job grilling them. I feel for your friend. I hear recovery from shoulder surgery is rough. But my SIL, Lynette has had it done on both shoulders and one shoulder twice.

Denise- You're right, you might regret Chocolate colored rugs. Can you shake them out or are they too large? Do you have a Dust Buster? I love my Dust Buster! Yay on the Silhouette booting up and finding your images!!
Denise- you feel like you are becoming more nervous? I have always been a worrier and can't make a decision...not really worried so it consumes me. I have always a hard time letting the past be the past-not going over in my head what I should have done. It's hard for me to think, "it's done, more on"

Jane- I imagine being a Kindergarten teacher, she's a pro at handling children who have lost a tooth. Our secretary kept cute little tooth necklaces that held the fallen out tooth. Poor Aria she's had a rather rough start to K.
I heard today that my window shades are in. They are being installed on Thursday!
It amazes me how fast the kitchen counters can become messy. It is mostly my stuff. ....except the one corner where I allow Rum-o to keep a few things. I have to watch him though or he would have the whole counter junked up. LOL

Hi Danielle- we've missed you. Are all your crops done growing? I'm still getting tomatoes.

I have never heard of the grocery line HEB.

Good morning, everyone!
Started off with a small shower, not enough to have watered anything, now sun is coming out, sky turning nice and blue! Yesterday we went over to ds's and had a nice meal, played with Aria, she lost her first tooth at school on Friday. She got scared, it bled and she cried and cried, teacher was a pro and calmed her down finally, found the tooth and put it in a special baggie with a label that said something like, "Lost my first tooth at school with the date. That girl is growing up for sure.
Anna hope you are doing well, how are things going with everyone?
Terry Happy September to you too! That storm you had sounded awful. Once in a while we can hit with a nasty storm like that scares the heck out of you. We were supposed to get a HEB grocery store in our area, however the powers to be did not want it and would not let this build it like they wanted to, so they cancelled their plans. Most all of us living in the area wanted this store as those who were familiar with the chain loved shopping there. My whole house looks like a hurricane hit it; dang it is so hard to do things with someone else being around all the time. Thanks for posting September/October's forum.
Cathe after you have your hip replacement you will be so glad to not have pain all the time. You will do fine, I know the anticipation of waiting to do it is so hard. Did you get your window coverings yet? I know I am behind in keeping up lately but trying to do better. I have backed off for a few days of weed pulling, tangled with some poison ivy or sumac, etc. Spots on side of neck and some fingers, ugh!!!
Danielle how are you doing?
Denise glad you had a good photo adventure, sorry about your ankles swelling. Nice that you got your Silhouette up and running again and you still have the library working.

When over at ds's house my dil had already started to do some Fall decorating. I will join the early Fall people too, especially since never put all the Fall away from last year, no need to do that now, just put the stuff out (lol).

Have a nice day/evening everyone!!!!!!

Happy September! Went to HEB grocery store. I heard the CEO say they are building one here in Sherman right after they get the Prosper store finished. I am thrilled! Steve thought he had to come with me but I have no idea why.
Its a gorgeous day here and it spit some rain but then cleared up. I'm happy too cuz I figured out the problem I was having so now I'm rollin'. My desks look like a 100mph windstorm hit them.

Denise: so glad the Silhouette is up and running and you have your library still. Big sigh of relief!
Cathe: I know 4 people who have had hip surgery and they all say it was piece of cake. So much easier than knee surgery. BFF Pam has had both hips and 1 knee done. And thankfully she finally after 10 yrs is going to have a shoulder replacement too. Can't lift her arms at all. You will do wonderfully just don't think about it now.
Danielle: HI!!!

Anyone do anything for Labor Day? I'm going to make hamburgers & french fries for supper. Take care....

Graduation

I took a hiatus this summer as my scraproom is upstairs and there's no a.c. up there. Glad to be back at it!

Well will wonders never cease! The laptop turned on and the silhouette opened and there were 702 cuts still in my library as well as the fonts. I'm very happy even though some cuts are missing. I'll take what I got.

Jane thank you for hosting July/August. Terry thank you for taking over.

Oh yes. We put out our fall decor a couple weeks ago as we were looking for items for the kitchen. BTW 3 Saturdays until it's offically autumn.

Speaking of the kitchen. Katie odered chocolate colored rugs. We are going to have to keep them vacuumed as every little crumb shows. They do look nice though.

Cathe, ask Google about the Camel Experiment in Texas. The Monument will.pop up and you can see the ocean in the background. That is Matagorda Bay where they landed.

I understand being scared. I'd think long and hard about it myself - I'm a coward though. I do know that if I hurt bad enough I'd do it. I'm so sorry you hurt so badly. Hugs and prayers.

I'm about to go try the Silhouette and see if it turns on. I'm so nervous it won't work and I'll get all worked up. So silly...but there it is. That seems to be me these days. Nervous Nellie

Sunday
Jane thank you for hosting July/August. Terry thank you for taking over.

Denise- You really braved the heat and got a lot of the markers photographed. Such a great thing to do. Did Tim and your mom stay in the car while you photographed what you wanted to?
Yes hip surgery Sept 16. I'm very nervous about it.

Terry- Thanks for the suggestion to check You Tube. I think as we age we tend to jump from one thing to another. I know I do and I don't have ADHD either.
That and I can't spell anymore. LOL

I had to run to the grocery store and the meat market. I didn't leave until 12:45 because the library opened at 1:00 and I needed a book. I went at 1:00 as that was when they should have opened. No one was there. The newsletter said they were closed on Monday, Labor Day so I don't know why it wasn't opened. If I had known that I would have gone to the grocery store at 11:00. oh well.

I put out my Fall decorations the other day. The white hutch looks nice and I put a few things in the small green hutch in the kitchen. But those are hard to see due to the cross bars "windowpane" doors.

Thank you Jane for hosting the last 2 months.

I don't know about anyone else but tomorrow the fall decorations come out including my glass pumpkins! Yea, I so love fall with the colors and the temps.
Otherwise, nothing new (except this thread!) and I'm tearing my hair out trying to get what I envisioned down on xmas cards. Nothing is working so far but I'm not giving up hope. I think I just have too many ideas and can't focus on one at a time. I'd say ADHD but I'm not that either.
And Stamptember is only 2 days away. Yipee!!!!!

Have a great Labor Day weekend. Hope you get to finish your photos of markers Denise. Did you decided on a cutter machine yet?
Sorry Cathe that you didn't see Kian in the marching band but pictures are a great alternative. Check out YouTube as someone that was there may have posted a video.

Linda for some reason your birthdate is not on our list. If you want to share it, I'll put that on the list.

Welcome to the New Layouts and Cards for the months of September and October. We would also love to see any other project, photo or imported images you'd like to share with the group.
The rules for this thread are simple: Post a newly uploaded layout, card or project, get comments and give comments on everyone's pages. No "drop and runs" please. If you get love be kind enough to give love back. Since there are several people here, try not to flood the post with too many LOs or cards. Maybe 5-7 in any post and no daily limit. Follow SB.com instructions for downloading and linking your projects.
Come by and join the fun! This thread has gained a fairly regular following. We enjoy seeing new people come by to share their work and join in the fun! You can join in at any time. Just remember that it is more fun if you give love and get love too!
While this is a laid-back community of artists and crafts people sharing their work and support, it's not a place to just drop off work and not visit the galleries of others in the thread. We encourage you to enjoy all the marvelous talent and leave comments! Should you encounter a problem with another poster in this thread, please PM them directly to ask your question or resolve your issue. The hostesses are not referees and can't step in the middle for you.
