long time, no scrap

So, my gf and I participated in an all day crop yesterday. This girl was miss productivity! I completed my Halloween 2012 album.

I used Rhonna Design's Spooky and Spooky Junque. I like buying the bundles. The album covers are from 7Gypsies.

6 of us went to the Lemp Mansion Halloween Bash. It was so much fun! Once you bought your ticket, everything that night was free. Appetizer buffets, multiple open bars, 3 live bands throughout the mansion. We had such a great time!

The little photos are from my Fuji Instax Mini 25. It instantly prints credit-sized photos. I love that thing. I thought it would be fun to take 'polaroids' all night. 

What have you been working on lately?

Fashion 5-0

Fashion 5-0 by citysingle featuring forever 21

The previous Fashion 5-0 from the other day was my EXACT outfit/pieces (except for the earrings).
I had a harder time finding the exact dress from the above outfit I wore yesterday. However!! I WAS able to get a clear photo this time of me wearing said outfit.

The dress is by MNG at JcPenney.

I made the necklace a couple of years ago. Miche bag is the same in the polyvore. And the rose gold watch I got from my gf, Michelle. She is the owner and creator of Deep South Gypsies. The white cardigan has been one of my favorite purchases. It's light and airy and I love the way it hangs on me. I got it from a new store in the south county mall, Francesca's.  Boots are the same from the other day and in polyvore. (payless, baby!)

I have REALLY been enjoying creating these Fashion 5-0 posts. I hope you are enjoying them, as well!

happy place

the least selfish person still has to be sometimes.
when she is continually looking out for and thinking about everyone else..
continually putting herself, her mind and body last... things start to give.
she loses herself. she has to say no. she has to disappoint. she has to forgive herself.
and most of all, she has to let the guilt go.

people that are used to things being a certain way are not going to understand.
her true friends/family that love her and really care, whether they know the details or magnitude of
the situation, will understand. they will not be passive aggressive. they will not take it personally nor make it about themselves. they will not try to make her feel guilty. they will be there for her and kindly let
her take the time she needs to reset herself.

in this time, she will see who her true friends are. she will see the kindness, the worry and the love coming from those who are loyal, true and not self centered.
in this time, she will find her true friends. in this time she will learn to let go. let go the guilt, the worry, the anxiety of not being able to please everyone. in this time she will find her happy place again.

It's Sharing Time!

I just wanted to share some fun, inspiring and 'what's on my wish list' things today!~

There is a good post by Polka Dot Chair on tips for printing digital. I know I could use some help! Especially, since I have been wanting to do more hybrid scrapbooking lately.

My wishlist, which will turn into 'getting it'.. next Friday (after payday, yo!)

I am really addicted to Rhonna's printables lately!! 

If you know me, then you know Halloween is my favorite holiday and that I make a Halloween mini album every year. (I posted last year's mini below. I wasn't blogging at the time) I think I am going to make a pre-made one this time and leave spots for my Fujifilm Instant prints! We are going to Lemp Mansion this year for their big Halloween bash! So, I should have alot of fun photos to share! 

One of my good girlfriends is a musician, blogger and all around amazingly inspiring person! If you get a chance, hop over and check out her blog, Tribe of Two. 

Rachel and her fiancee are TOO adorable and fun! 

This is one of my favorite layouts right now, by miss marie. If you are not following her blog ...then you are TOTALLY missing out. ;)

Hope you have enjoyed my 'sharing time'. 

Final questions:

So do you have any big plans for halloween? Do you dress up? If so, what are you going to be? (I think I may do geisha again...but, this time with full make up and everything)
