Days like these......

..... make me sooo anxious for Autumn!

Every year I make a

fall journal to record all the events and

memories from

September 1 through Thanksgiving.

This is last year's journal...one of my favorites!

I may have posted this last year when I

first put it together but I wanted to

re-post in anticipation of fall and I am getting

ready to put this year's together! You will

notice this one is still missing a few pictures...

I suck at printing pictures in a timely manner!

Amy said...: Kristen - I love it and I want to make one! Fall is my FAVORITE time of the year. Ok, will you email me and give me some tips? Like what size binder, etc?

Guess what - My hubs, Stephen and I are having a mini Thanksgiving celebration on Sunday. {meaning- we plan on cranking down the a.c. and cooking up some goodies!}

Thank for reading, really I appreciate it. I did actually pick up a book to study. I haven't done that in 2 months.

Normally I find fall to be depressing, but not after seeing it through your eyes :D; 8/08/2009 8:37 PM

Tell Kevin I keep waiting for a post on the Cardinals being in first place in their division... and a comment or two on Wainwright and Pujols...; 8/09/2009 11:21 AM
