whoa.

ok.

so tyler felt a little left out after courtney's big photo shoot...so since i wanted to take a few pics of our yard right now in all it's magnificent fall wardrobe, i told the boy to jump in for a few pics!

i love how we are still being blessed with all these amazing temperatures ( afternoons, anyway!) and how we can still be outside and enjoy the colors of the season without icicles forming at the bottom of our dripping cold noses!

...one of courtney's favorite things about fall is seeing CANDY CORN appear in the stores!

( i love seasonal treats too...so we had to get some! )



...and i've been on the fence and looking for quite a while lately into getting our family's kitchen some new eating digs!!  i found these lovelies at ThinkKitchen and immediately had a crush.

now...as of yesterday morning...partly because i caved and partly because they were on sale...

they live in our house!

YAY!

(service for 8 'cuz i like to entertain - wink )

...and now just a little somethin' somethin'...

i also bought myself one of these...



IT GOES FROM THIS:

TO THIS:

FOR THIS (OR THAT):

AND FOLDS BACK UP INTO THIS:



...i just happen to have purchased several of them for some door prizes ( and different colors ) to use at my hall crop on Oct.7....

(giggle)

I have been having an extremely busy week and have been finding it hard to keep my 30 Day Photo Challenge in order of sequence for this, my last week of the challenge. BUT i have been keeping up the photos in a different order this week...and since today is Sept.30, the last day of this fun project, i promise i will share the complete finished mini book with you ASAP....i have to survive the rest of this weekend first!

...be back soon...
