Soup Spotting 8.24.11

Good morning!  Anyone up for some soup spotting this fine day?  And, I say it's a fine day because my oldest started third grade today and I'm not sad.....yet.  A little peace and quiet around the household will be nice for more leisurely spotting.  I won't have to yell in between searches:)   Of course, I don't yell and my girls are perfectly behaved angels.  Do you believe me?  Anyway, here's what I found this week.  Enjoy!

Cards and a Project on Monday!

Good morning!  Did you have a fantastic weekend?  I'm VERY SORRY to say that I didn't make it to the Iowa State Fair because of sick children.  I wanted so much to get a picture of the butter on a stick for you.   But, I did hear that it tastes more like a cinnamon roll.  Although I don't have any freaky food on a stick pictures for you, I have alot of cards (and a project) inspired by love.

Soup Spotting 8.17.11

Good morning!  We've been frantically trying to finish up our summer 'to do' list at my household.  Unfortunately, it came to a screeching halt when the girls came down with sinus infections and ear infections.  Wonderful.  Nothing is better than summer illnesses!  But, it has given me extra time to catch up on some soup searching.  I've found some great layouts inspired by Julie Bonner's sketch on facebook.
