TGIF; Thankful Friday #433

Hi there and happy Thankful Friday! I've been taking it easy this week since my stomach is a little jacked up, which brings me to what I'm thankful for this week.

This week, I'm thankful for the fact that I can take it easy and it doesn't really affect anything. I relaxed on my recliner, ate sensible foods and drank lots of water without feeling guilty AT ALL!

I know I've said it before, but I am so thankful for retirement. I'm enjoying it to the fullest and not once have I regretted it!

How about you? What are you thankful for this week?

Succulent Pumpkins


Next to Christmas, Halloween/fall is when we do the most crafts. This project is definitely one of my favorites!


The Succulent Swap group in town hosts a succulent pumpkin event every year and we're all about it! We bring our own pumpkins and anything else that we want to use for ourselves and/or to share. Zero fee!

This year I brought a charBOOterie to share too. 

I call this a Paper Pad Party since all the elements for the page came from the paper pad. Now of course that does not include any colored cardstock (how I found this perfect shade of blue, I do not know!!), and enamel dots.


The layout was pretty simple and I knew I was using the new paper pad I purchased last year. The colors matched perfectly!



I love how the layout turned out. What do you think?
