My First Haunted House Visit! Plus 20 new fonts!!!!

Well hello!! I thought I would drop in and add a few photos today and tell you about Amanda's new fonts!!! So here we go:

Considering everything that has gone on in my world over the past, hmmmm...let's say 14 months, life is going fairly well. October is such a busy, busy month! It seems as though there are things to do constantly and that we're on-the-go all the time, but that is a good thing. I suppose I would rather be busy than be being bored! My job search is still feverishly on! I STILL can't get over how awful the job market is!!! I have never, ever, ever seen anything like it! However, I know something good is waiting for me just around the corner and I am remaining patient and optimistic.

Last Saturday I went to a Haunted House for my first time ever. I KNOW, isn't it crazy that I am a grown woman and have NEVER been into a Haunted House??? Let me tell you, it was really, really fun, but it scared the craaaaaaap out of me! I am so glad I had my friend's arm to grab on to! I literally had a death-grip on the back of his shirt! (Sorry honey!)

Here are a few photos of our day at Elitches during the Fright Festival, it was great fun, it was so fabulous to see my friend Phil. I hadn't seen him in quite sometime! I think it was a terrific day!

Here is Cori, Ethan, and Phil sporting their cool hats!



Next up is a lovely picture of Phil and the kids with a nice-looking zombie! It was actually quite funny... once the "zombies" started gathering around the entrance to Elitches, they literally broke into the "Thriller" dance, you know, from the Michael Jackson Video? It was cool.




Next we have Miss Cori laying down on a tombstone! I love it! Oh, I have so many more photos I can post, but it'll have to wait. I have a few jobs that I want to apply for and then I will be watching one of my favorite shows that was Tivo'd last night!



Thanks for dropping by! I love you all so very much and all of your kind words and support has meant the world to me! If it weren't for all of the great friends and family that I have, I just don't know what life would be like.

Here is the info on the new fonts!!!!
Okay, so all I can say is: if you're a font lover as I am, you'll want to drop by Amanda Green-Bottoms' website and grab the 20 new fonts she's released (of course they're always free)! She is so awesome to share all of her wonderful hard work with us. Thank you so much, Amanda!!!! Mwah! Visit Amanda's website for the newest set of fonts!! You can download this new set all in one download, or if you don't have all of Amanda's amazing fonts, there is a separate download where you can download everything in one bundle!!!


Until next time...

I found a great font site!!!

I just found another AWESOME font website! I found it through a great friend of mine, the FABULOUSLY RETIRED :( Ellie Lash! It is very similar to the kevinandamanda font website that many of you may be familiar with, but obviously, there are different fonts. I don't know about you, but as a scrapbooker I find typography to be quite facinating. I mean, what better way to show emotion than to use a bold helvetica! Okay, so I am kidding a bit, but I truly believe a font can make or break a layout! So without further ado, I present to you:

Sugar Frog Fonts

I loved their site so much that I decided I would sport their blinkie on my blog, it's cute, too!

Their blinkie can be found over in my side bar, go check 'em out!------------->

So how is everyone?!? It's been a bit crazy for me lately. I just don't know where the time seems to go. I would have to say that job searching is a full-time job so that absorbs much of my time, and then there is all the other fun stuff you need to get done when you're a SAHM. Yes! I did decide that it has taken me so long to find a job that it's easier to say I am a Stay at Home Mom when someone I meet asks me what I do for a living. It's much easier than explaining that I have been job searching for over a year now!! Gosh, I never expected it would take this long... even with the TERRIBLE economy I thought the worst case scenerio would be that I was out of work for 6 months. And, I thought that was a drastic worst case scenerio!!!

I try not to let it upset me, after all, I know deep down that I am smart, I am capable and hardworking individual, I have great working experience and education, so I know it has to be the terrible economy that we're in that has caused it to take so long. I pray constantly that things will change very soon. Another shocker for me is that Christmas is right around the corner. Holy snap! THAT, my friends, floors me!

On the bright side, I have been pleasantly surprised to see the stock market's change in pace! How exciting! Although I am somewhat apprehensive to get overly excited until an upward trend has been established. Maybe we're on the way to better times. I hope. I pray.

Well folks, I think I have jabbered on enough for today! I'll leave you with a photo from my daughter's 12th Birthday party that we hosted on Saturday. We had a great time and it was wonderful to be surrounded by great friends and family. I cannot believe my daughter is 12! I have a 12-year-old daughter and an 18-year-old son. I think that makes me, well, um... old!

Here is Cori and Johnny at Brunswick


Here is Cori and her adorable "Moose Cake!" (Thanks Cheryl!)


Here is Cassidy (nice face, goofy girl), Cori, Johnny and Maria


Of course I have many more photos to share on my Project 365 blog, which I am sooooo far behind on! It's that whole "time-flying-by" thing! It seems as though I never have the time to get all of my photos uploaded! It will be done...somehow, some way!

Until next time...
