Blush ~n~ Dusty Layout Challenge - Late

Well here I am, finally getting the challenge I take care of on Blush ~n~ Dusty posted. Blushbutter has had trouble getting me the mini kit this month, because of taking care of her growing family as well as trying to deal with headaches from allergies, so I got a little behind. I pray that she starts feeling better soon!! I know it's hard to deal with headaches, whatever the cause...thankfully I don't have them as much as I did there for a while!

I think this mini is just beautiful, love the soft pinks and the adorable teddy bears and the beautiful flowers. And that REALLY cool multi frame is really neat too.

This month is all about family traditions. I'm sure most of you have a tradition, either one that has been around for years, or one you started with your own family. I'd love to hear about one of them, so come join us for the challenge on Blush ~n~ Dusty this month, and tell us about it!

My LO shows the two fruit salads I make every Thanksgiving. I LOVE fruit, yet usually only make these at thanksgiving, and it started with my grandmother making them for Thanksgiving Dinner when I was growing up. Least that's when I think it started, sad to say I never asked her if her Mom made them when she was little, so I don't know if they go back further than that. I always loved them, so I make them now for our meal, even though we don't have a big family to help eat them. I did recolor some of the pieces I used from the kit, to go with Fall and Thanksgiving better.

I then had to go ahead and use the kit as it was, with that beautiful pink, for some of my 2009 photos! I picked out some from when our nieces visited us. This first one "Pretty in Pink" is so cool with that neat frame, and I love how the pink works with her dress so well. I blended one of the pink roses she put in the kit into the background, for added interest.

The last layout shows both nieces with their Grandma and a kitty.

We got 3-4 inches of snow on Sunday (really our first snow of the season that stuck for longer than a few hours) and then more last night and most of the day today it's been coming down. I think we have to be getting close to a foot on the ground so far, who knows how much more we will have before it's finally over. It sure is pretty when it's coming down...although it could stop anytime. LOL We are in a Blizzard warning here now too, so once the wind picks up tonight, we could get some big drifts. It will be interesting to see what it looks like in the morning when it gets light. :)

Other than that, not much going on, the animals are all staying in their shelters as much as possible, and so are we. LOL Maybe that's why I was able to scrap several pages today...cause it's the perfect kind of day to do it. I made some yummy homemade chicken noodle soup for Supper tonight at DH's request. He thought that sounded good for a snow storm, he wanted that or chili, and so I figured I'd make the soup now and maybe the chili for the weekend. That should make him happy, getting both of them in the same week. LOL I love the chicken noodle soup myself. :)

Ok, better get going, have to post my LO's to a few galleries and groups before bed. Hope everyone is staying safe in the snow storm, if you are having one too. Have a great week!!
