Fall Party

Happy September everyone!  I can't believe that fall is almost here already.  I think each summer goes by more quickly than the previous one.  This one was extra fast because we knew we were taking Katie to college at the end of it.  Katie is doing great at school so far, and as for me, well, I am "surviving" without my every day "flesh and blood" contact with her . . . . and knowing that she is doing well makes me happy!!!

Today I would like to share a fall layout with you in honor of September being here.  I used photos from the Boorstein's Halloween party last year!  They have THE most fun and fabulous Halloween party every year that this past one was no exception.  Here is the page I created using the fall papers and embellishments that my sister gave me:



Don't you just love the warm feeling that fall gives you?  I know I do!!!!

For my layout, I used a sketch created by Kim Keane at My Creative Sketches.  They have a monthly sketch challenge at their blog:  you can get you layout featured on their blog, and you can win a great prize, too!  Check them out!!!!

Here is Kim's sketch:



Happy Labor Day weekend, to all of you USA-ers out there!  I hope you all have a safe holiday, and have loads of fun in the process!

I will leave you with a photo of us enjoying the labor day weekend last year:

I remember Katie took this photo - we were getting ready to see "Big Time Rush" at the Allentown Fair!  Fun memories . . .
