Gross weather on Halloween proper, but we trick-or-treated earlier in the month in some crazy heat and dressed cute for the day!

My son and I share a birthday!

A few shots of the off time and hanging out at the amazing accessible house during our Make-A-Wish trip.

Today's Independence Day prompt made me think aliens, which lead me to Lunar Love, which then had me combining space and mid-century design for a drive-in built to feed space race crowds.

It's always a little spooky in our house since this ghost balloon seems determined to haunt us forever. We got it in 2024 and I took that bottom right photo today. Seemed appropriate to scrap with this kit, especially since I'm already planning my 2026 Halloween balloon garland

Call me anything, just don't call me Marie 😆

Playing cars in the dirt... as always

We listened to various versions for a half hour, and didn't see the time pass!

A little welcome card (to welcome a guest, someone back from a trip, or congratulate someone on their new home)

Everything has come full circle. When this kit first came out, I made a page about how I was considering modifying a jam recipe I had to taste like a strawberry margarita. Then I made said jam (guessing on how much tequila I could use without making it too runny) and used the kit to make the...
