Happy September!

I am so excited because September officially marks the beginning of Fall for me; even though it is still miserably hot in Texas and I miss home so much! The kids and I enjoyed a long weekend and I am sad that it's over and back to work tomorrow. I finished re-organizing our craft room and managed to get some cork boards hung for their school papers. I also made it to Michaels today to put to use the labor day 50% coupon. I could not think of one thing to use it for but it was burning a hole in my purse so I bought another painting book. This book is geared a little more toward Tole Painting and I figure I will try my hand at it. The designs are so endearing.



I also happened to find this little gem of a magazine at the check out stand and couldn't resist. I'm glad I picked it up but now my head is spinning because I want to make everything in it! I especially love the altered wood frame and star on the front cover. There are some very cute paper Christmas trees in it as well. I highly recommend to get it now!



To celebrate September I had leftover pumpkin from pumpkin pancakes this morning and fresh blueberries so I made pumpkin bread and blueberry muffins. As if I needed anything else to go straight to my hips! They are so good and I've been baking more and more lately with egg replacers by Ener-G and soy milk. So much healthier, cruelty free and I have to say everything turns out so much moister. I also need to go to Philly now; I've been reading about all the cool Vegan/Vegetarian friendly places to eat there. ROAD TRIP!!!! Ha Ha!



Last but not least I was in Target Saturday and saw this cute little tote bag; why on earth I didn't buy it is beyond me but it is worth posting a picture of.



Have a fabulous week and until next time!
Peace,
Ann
