Farewell, October!

And what an eventful October it was (some good, some bad). In fact, I've been so preoccupied with said events that I haven't had time for any new artworkies.

Instead, please enjoy a shot of my Halloween costume:

Lifetime Achievement

Today is my birthday! I am happily 28 years old.

 Here I am with a petrified tree - a giant white oak that sprouted, grew, fell and turned to stone over 3 Million years ago. Puts it all into perspective, eh?

Whoosh!

I don't know how Friday got here so fast. This week was a whirlwind of brainstorms and meetings and Halloween costume idea debates and unreasonable amounts of laundry and pretty orange Fall leaves. I wanted to share some photos from our recent vacation, but I keep falling asleep before I get a chance to organize and label them in a humorous manner. Maybe I'll get to it this weekend!

Until then, here's a pretty picture of a lady in the traditional dress of my Slovak ancestors. Happy Friday!

Anniversary Amusement

This is the sappy anniversary card I made for Johnny D.

We're back from out jaunt to San Francisco and boy did we have fun! What a singular, fun, lovely place! I'd fly there again in a heartbeat.

...Although, I must say, the flights themselves were pretty dreadful. Talk about paying an arm and a leg for a service and then being sorely disappointed in delivery. Not a single one of our planes was on time (we're talking about the loss of not only 2 hours but an actual day due to airline malarkey).

But enough complaining! We truly had a blast!

San Francisco, Ahoy!

To celebrate our first year as merry husband and wife (how has it been a year already?), Johnny D and I are escaping into the hills of San Francisco for a little vacation.

I'm very much looking forward to eating way too much scrumptious food and indulging in a little bit of shopping. John can't wait to spy on the sea lions. I can't think of a better way for October to begin!

See you in a week!

The Arrival of Autumn!

How time flies...
Fall is here already! I will miss the warm Summer afternoons, but I always love the crispy crunch and raspy rustle of fallen leaves.

Back-to-School Clothes

I find Fall fashions to be fully fabulous.

Autumn Is In The Air!

I'm not sure that I'm ready for Summer to be over, but I can't help feeling a stitch of excitement when I catch that crispness in the air!
Happy Friday!
