Long Time, No Blog! :-)

It's was a busy summer and an even busier Back to School / Fall than anticipated.  I'm sure Hilary will agree with me!

It's time to really get back to meal planning.  I have taken the opportunity to make some double batches of soups and chilis over the last few weeks and I am stocking my freezer like a squirrel preparing for winter. I sure hope that is not a sign of the winter we will be having on the East Coast!!!!

Anyway, I really wanted to get back into the swing of things with blogging and meal planning and some scrapbooking stuff. So, while I have your attention I thought I would share my plan for this week.  

Sunday - Buffalo Chicken Chili with Scoops Chips
Monday - Chicken Tamale Casserole with Black Beans
Tuesday - Hawaiian Chicken over Brown Rice
Wednesday - Bowties with Sausage, Tomatoes and Cream 
Thursday - Pumpkin Pancakes with Scrambled Eggs and Chicken & Apple Sausage Links
Friday - Tacos with all the fixins, previously made and stored in the freezer crockpot refried beans and Spanish rice
Saturday - Chicken Parmesan over Spaghetti with Garlic Knots
Sunday - Cheesy Rigatoni Bake

It looks like out meals this week are shaping up to be yummy ones!

Fall is a busy time of year and this fall is no exception.  In case you didn't know I have been working with a great bunch of ladies over at Inspired to Scrap on creating layouts for sketch classes that the owner Stacey offers several times a year.  

July was my first time on the Design Team and I am now the Design Team Coordinator.  I've been having a great time designing samples, creating challenges and we had an awesome online Fall Crop! 

I thought I would share some of my layouts from the previous sketch classes and challenges that I have done.  Hopefully, they will inspire you!

This is one of my favorites from the July 2012 Sketch Class.  I love that messy face!!!


Here is another one from July.  Who doesn't love to eat....I mean blow bubbles?


I also created a few challenges for the Fall Crop that was at the end of September.  Here is my layout from the Fast Formula Challenge.


And my layout for the Raid the Office Supply Cabinet challenge....


This layout I created for this month. It's my Round the Corner challenge.  The photos are from 2007.  I'm finally catching up.  Okay, sorta, maybe catching up!


There is a new class coming up in just a few weeks and it would be great if you could join us. There is always plenty of inspiration both during the classes and on the forums.  If you are interested in signing up for the November Sketch Class you can get more info here.  Tell Stacey I sent you! :-)

Hope you have a great week and I promise not to let too long go between blog posts again!
