…but I love the Our Paper Place blog too. If you want to follow along in my new adventure as an owner to one of the coolest scrapbook stores ever, check it out here.
Miss you all, and I hope to update soon.

PS: For those of you wondering how my challenge is going, it’s going EXCELLENT. I’m definitely over thirty pounds on the weight loss. Phew! Talk about hard work! I’m still continuously working on this one, so I’ll keep everyone posted.
If you haven’t already heard somewhere in the grapevine, I’m opening a scrapbook store local to the Bay Area!
It’s gonna be rockin’, so if you are in the area, you’ll have to come and take a trip down!!
More details on my store coming soon.
hugs,

Last night was way too much fun! The turn out to Hambly‘s Spooktacular event was great, and I got to see friends that I hadn’t seen in a while. I managed a Halloween make and take using Hambly products, of course. …and Mr. Hambly and the rest of his crew are all so amazingly kind!
Suzy went as “Facebook” and her daughter, Sierra, was the most adorable fairy ever!

Check out some of this Hambly goodness:

Andrea offered face painting for everyone at the event! I, of course, had to get a cute l’il ladybug on my face.



Left to Right — superhero Canon Girl (Gina), the adorable ladybug (me), Deputy Cris (Cris), and Facebook (Suzy).

Holly brought her son, Tyler, and he’s a cutie for sure!

…and Nancy visited with her two sweet girls, Mackenzie and Ainsley! Here’s a picture of me with Monster Ainsley:

After the event, a group of us crazy gals went up to La Fondue! Holy smackers, I love this place. It’s nothing like Melting Pot; it’s literally a hundred times better (at least in my opinion). …and just so you all know, I was just there on Tuesday night, haha! Two times this week?! Talk about not staying on track with my challenge! Yikes! I say that it’s time for me to head to the gym, again.
…but before I do that, here’s a couple of layouts I made with the fun Christmas line that Echo Park Paper sent to me:




Happy Friday!

PS: My fingers are crossed.
…so when life gives you lemons, what do you do?
Please excuse my temporary absence. There’s lots on my mind.
Hugs,
Sarah.
Today’s post is brought to you by us, the cutest doggies that ever roamed the planet! In case you haven’t met us yet, we’re Maui and Hilo. ((Hilo: I’m the one with the handsome brown markings!))

Yeah, yeah. Arf! We know that today is Tuesday, which means it’s Mommy’s designated day to post about her challenge. However, woof, we thought it would be fun to blog for her. Let us give you our own perspective on Mommy’s challenge.
We think it’s woof-tastic that Mommy has been doing things differently around the house. She gets up every morning, eats breakfast, and takes us out on our morning walk. After feeding us, she heads out to the unknown. Ruff. We still don’t know for sure where she takes the car, but we think she goes somewhere to get sweaty and stinky. We don’t understand why we can’t go along with her; we loooooooove to get stinky! Arf!
…and sometimes on our lucky days, we get to go out on jogs with her. The feeling of our ears flappin’ in the wind can’t be beat. Well, except for getting our bellies rubbed by Gloria, of course. ((Hilo: Maui, don’t forget the random excursions we go on with her nowadays!))
Woof! Every now and then, she stands on this square thing. It’s definitely not one of our toys because it doesn’t squeak. We aren’t sure what it is or what it does, but it always shows random numbers. Today, Mommy was in a good mood and gave us an extra treat after standing on the square thing. Ruff. We have no idea why she had a huge smile on her face, but she did tell us this:
“Guess what kids?! Mommy has lost a total of 30 pounds in seven weeks!”
We don’t know what that means, but as long as she’s giving us free treats, we’ll act happy too! Woof.
…and because we’re getting free treats, we decided to ransack Mommy’s scraproom and give away some free treats to you too. Arf. ((Hilo: Perhaps one of those scrapbook kits that Mommy has lying around her room!))
Leave us a comment, and we will tell Mommy you said hello. You have until Tuesday, October 26th, by 11:59 pm to play.
Licks and kisses,
Maui and Hilo.
