Hey!
I have a wedding that I am shooting this weekend. Not a paying gig. She offered but I said I would do it in lieu of buying them a gift.
I ran across this picture of Kyler today and it made my smile. It was taken right after I came back from my New York trip. I think he was happy for me to be home.

Scrappy Jo's - My Product Review and Monthly Projects
This month I got the opportunity to try a product I have always been interested in - Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels. To say that this product is versatile would be an understatement. There are just so many things you can use this on: paper, acrylic, metal, fabric, and chipboard!
The first thing I did was read up on Glimmer mist on the Tattered Angels website. I highly recommend that you start there.
Next up I used a Decorative Corner Glimmer Screen Stencil. I laid it over the craft paper spraying the mist over top, leaving the negative space of the Decorative Corner. I did this multiple times. Making my own paper in a way for the background for this card.
Here are my other projects for the month many of them feature Glimmer Mist too!
To purchase any of the paper in my layouts or the glimmer mist Make you way over to Scrappy Jo's Store

Our Halloween
We went trick or treating downtown, like have for the last two years. This year we met up with Laura, Tina and Katelyn. It was crazy crowded and we didn't get our early start. The kids didn't mind. Kyler was having lots of fun but clinged to me not out of fear but because he didn't want to get drizzled on and he thought my witches hat could be like an umbrella.
We then went by a free bounce house that we could pass up so Kyler played in there for quite a while. We trick or treated Jay Jay or course! And then ate some dinner. Then we did one block of night time trick or treating by daddy's office. At the office Rico's scared the daylights out Kyler so I had some to do some convincing to go to any houses that had decorations. Maybe he won't get scared next year.
Not sure yet what we will be dressing as next year...

Took the kids to the graveyard...

Say what?!? But we went for a purpose. Every year I read that the Josephine Historical Society does a Graveyard tour with living history players. And every year I thought I wonder if that is cool or lame. Well guess what it was cool. They had 10 stations all over the cemetery with actors dressed in historical clothing. Each person was someone who made an impact on Josephine county or Grants Pass. They would tell us a story for about 5-7 minutes and then a bell would ring and we would move on to the next station. I would like to tell you that the kids loved it and listened intently to each story but they didn't. Kyler did the best then Katelyn and poor Emilie couldn't sit still. Kyler's favorite story was that of Elijah Davidson and how he discovered the Oregon Caves.Here are a few of the other actors. It was hard to get decent pictures with them talking and the hard sunlight.
