Hi all, and happy first day of December! Are we ready for all the festivities of the holiday season? I am not! I guess I better start thinking about it anyway. The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas in a school is a little chaotic, but fortunately I was able to come home on time today and take a little bit to browse the galleries. I hope you enjoy the fabulous layouts I chose to share this evening!

Hi all, and Happy Monday!! I hope that everyone’s week is off to a fantastic start! I have mixed feelings about Mondays. I tend to dread the start of a full week, but it’s also the one day where not so much needs to be done around the house because I mostly got caught up over the weekend. That fact has also given me a little extra time to browse the galleries this evening!! Just a little heads up as we are ending September and heading in to October that our bloggers have a super full month coming up. We have bloggers getting married, renewing their vows, moving, and all kinds of exciting things! So if you notice that our posts are a little scattered, know that it’s just a busy season for all of us! Thanks for understanding and I hope you enjoy my picks for this evening!
