Yup, no Chicago CHA plans this year and instead I’m headed on a client business trip to good ole’ Vegas tomorrow morning through Saturday.

So in that case, with no indulgence of new scrapbooking products to partake in, here’s a sneak peek of what’s debuting from little ole me at A2Z Essentials. Have a great week!!

Fun chipboard sheets:

So the scanner has been going psycho on me lately and then I literally forgot about posting these guys with the lovely black patterns and punchy accent color combos of the July Mosh-Posh kit.

Here they are in their camera glory (argh. hate taking photos of layouts.)

Yep, Hobby Lobby has about 75% of their Christmas stuff out. It is crazy.

And the first time I was in there this week, I was thinking how ridiculous it was. And then I went back today and I actually looked at the stuff. And the wheels starting turning…and I was already thinking of ideas for presents and ornaments and looking forward to my 2nd Annual (in TN) cookie party….and how great it would be to get a head start on it all…

YIKES.

Dude. I can’t be thinking about this sort of stuff when I’ve got wedding menus and programs to design and assemble, invitations to finish up, blah blah blah.

Evil Hobby Lobby.

Our photographer is amazing! She got these edited and done within 1 week because they were heading on vacation and didn’t want to make us wait so long. I love them!

Wait for the slideshow to fully load before you hit play and have your volume turned up for the music. :)

I love ‘em! I love ‘em! (and even Brandon does too which is a rare thing!)

These little guys come out in the summer time, usually after a rain. People even stop traffic and get out of their cars to help these guys cross the road. But it hasn’t rained much this year so there haven’t been as many. Brandon has found a few this year wandering around the yard, all little guys. One was even the size of credit card (yeah, I can’t really come up with any good size comparisons better than that-lol). 

Contrary to popular belief, these guys are fast! And for some reason I hear people around here calling them "terrapins" rather than "turtles."

Ah, whatever! Just another cool thing about TN I had to share. :)
