I used both of them to create this digital pocket page. 

This past year has been hard. The hardest actually. And I have spent a lot of it being sad. But also happy. Because it's okay to be sad and happy. I've definitely had to choose happy. I wouldn't say it's come easy over the last 13 months. 

In any case, we just celebrated our 24th anniversary, and happy or sad, I'm thankful it's this guy by my side. 

Go check out the sale and take advantage of the awesome prices!

Once again, it's time for SOSN at the-Lilypad. 

That means, that for today only, you can pick up the This is Us Mini Kit and Pocket cards for 50% off the regular price. But don't delay, this sale is through today only!

Last week I hauled my crew out to get family photos taken. I like to have photos that are up to date, and the last time we had family pictures done was back in 2020.

It was a cold brisk morning, and we got these shots done in record time. I'll be using some of these photos for this years Christmas cards. In fact, the cards have already been submitted. Now, just waiting to get them back to so I can address and send them off. 

I love sending cards and I love getting them. Sadly, not a lot of people seem to fee this way. Christmas cards seem to dwindle each year. I especially love photo cards, to get a glimpse of the people you don't see very often. So here's a sneak peek of the 4 of us:

SOSN | Remember Me | Designed by Soco

Happy Wednesday everyone! You know what that means, it's SOSN [something old, something new] at the-lilypad.  For today only, Designed by Soco has her Remember Me Mini Kit and Pocket Cards on sale for 50% off. 

I'm a pretty private person by nature. And yes, I see the irony in that when I have so many layouts posted on the internet.

But this past year, has been the hardest of my life. 

It's coming up on the year anniversary of losing my Mum, and honestly, it's just as hard to wrap my head around it now, as it was then. 

I used the Remember Me kit to create this pocket page, about my missing her.  I couldn't be more thankful about all the great photos I have of her and I together. We have had some great adventures over the years. 

Take photos of your loved ones people. I have been teased hard over the years.  People groan and roll their eyes at me when the camera comes out and I start to take photos. But... 

 I'm so very thankful for all the photos I have to cherish.

Perfect to use this time of year, as Halloween is just around the corner! 

Here are the products that are on sale: 

A few weeks ago I made a page about the kids past Halloween costumes. I realized that we adults have fun too! [Though the kids would disagree with that statement, they think we're utter bores] This kit was perfect page to showcase some of the fun costumes we've had over the years. My only regret, is we don't have photos of all of them... The days before digital cameras and cameras on phones, you were a lot stingier with photo taking...

SOSN | Right Now Collection | Designed by Soco

Today's SOSN [something old, something new] on The-Lilypad, Designed by Soco is featuring her Right Now collection.

For today only, entire collection is reduced and can be picked up for 50% off the regular price. Here are the pieces I used.

I used Designed by Soco's recently released Pocket Stories Vol. 5 for this page. 

We've had the nicest fall I can remember in a long time. We actually still have some trees with leaves still on them, which is kind of unusual for us. It seems that as soon as we get a killing frost, which quite often happens early on in September, all the leaves change quickly. We have had a couple of heavy frosts, but apparently not quite heavy enough. One of the last times I remember having such a beautiful autumn, was 14 years ago. We came back in late September, from a nearly 3 week anniversary trip to Greece, and then got to enjoy fall. 

Enjoying the warm days and cool evenings. 

Also can't believe we sat on the outdoor patio of a pub a few weeks ago.
