1 Month

Well I guess one month since my last posting is better than my previous record!!
         I can't count the times that I have heard the saying " the older you get, the faster time seems to fly by", boy, is that true! I am only 30 and time is almost a speeding blur, I can't imagine how fast it will seem to pass me by when I am in my 40's! School is getting ready to start this coming week and for the first time I will have both my little loves going! Kaleb will begin his first grade journey and little Olivia will be in Kindergarten! It seems like yesterday I was getting them both ready for preschool. I am going to miss their sweet smiling faces and I know I will be counting the minutes to 330pm when it's time to pick them up! I will say, that I am a "tiny" but excited for the freetime I will have on the days that both of them go on the same day. Kaleb goes fulltime M-Fr, but Olivia only goes M, Thur, every other Wednesday. I am also looking forward to getting back on a normal routine! I am hoping it will give me time to really get back into my art studio and get some projects completed!
        I want to share a couple cards I made, one thank you and one Halloween! I love feedback, so let me know what ya'll think!!
