Sketchy Saturday: You Made Me

I am making a commitment to document my life more. I used to only scrapbook about myself. Then it was my relationships with Ryan. Then came Millie. My goal is to write down more of my thoughts and feelings in these moments in order to process life and keep record of who I am now. 

This sketch is from the Scraptastic blog. I love the design and didn't change much with my interpretation. 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Layout: You @ 2

This layout was fun to make. I had the concept in my head for a while (about 3 weeks) before I had time to put it to paper. This month's sketch helped it come together super quick! 

Wildtree Wednesday: Zesty Mustard Chicken

The Zesty Mustard Sauce is one of the new fall products. I highly recommend it! We used it to marinade boneless chicken breasts over night, cooked them in a pang and served them with a big salad! 

Dinner was simple and healthy. It was perfect. 

Layout: Pick of the Patch

Yesterday we went to a Pumpkin Patch and I told Millie that she could have as many pumpkins as she could carry. Unfortunately she couldn’t really carry any of the pumpkins...so her Daddy helped her out and grabbed a pumpkin for her! She is developing such a fun personality- check out her face on the photo on the right! 

Little bits of mist and splatter mixed with Jillibean Soup die cuts and enamel stars. 

Those Simple Stories jack-o-lanterns are too cute and I love the alpha to bits!

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Sketchy Sunday: Paper Issues

I saw this sketch posted on Instagram and was inspired to create a page. 

I had the photos printed and paper trimmed but this sketch was the perfect kick start to finish the page. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Friday Finds (on a Thursday): Degree Motionsnese

Thanks to Influenster, I received this product free in exchange for my review. 

Where was this when I was a teenager and only wore black t-shirts due to my embarrassing over active armpit sweat?!? 

So far I am really impressed with this product- I'll break down my pros and cons below. 

Yesterday, I walked a mile before going into work and and felt fresh and not smelly afterward. Very cool! :) 

Pros: awesome moisture control, actually works to control perspiration with increased activity. 

Cons: invisible solid...covered my shirt with white marks this morning, the scent is not my favorite. 

Final review: I would buy. I think I'll give my free sample to my mother and go buy the Powder scent for myself.
