Whoo-hoo, school has started! That means more time for me to work, do some creative stuff and plan my big idea. I have been playing with the scheme in my head for quite a while now, but haven’t really had much time to do anything practical with it. But if I pull it off, it will be fun, because it will put together my love of words with my passion for crafting. I couldn’t ask for more.

Oh well, still a lot of work to be done though, and since I am Procrastination Queen, I have spent the last half an hour or so looking at the holiday pictures. Some of them are really fun (often in a horrid kind of way) and I can’t wait to scrapbook them all. until then, here is a snapshot of what we did last summer (after all, it is almost over. Today, it feels definitely autumnal over here).
