Blueberries, Blueberries, and More Blueberries!!!

Good Morning! I finally have a moment to share these photos from when we went blueberry picking two days ago. All three kids actually were able to come, which is a rare occurance these days. The picking went faster this time since there was four of us. I've already made a blueberry pie, and next were going to have blueberry pancakes, and Jordan Marsh blueberry muffins. Has anyone else used this blueberry muffin recipe before? It's the best one there is!

Zachary who doesn't show his face on my blog much since he's so busy these days!
All three together ~ I love this photo! I may turn it into an 8x10 and scrapbook it! Although of course I'll need four 8x10's so that I can make a page for all three kids albums as well as my own!

Yesterday Zachary had his senior portraits taken. The office was located in Rye, NH near the ocean. He had a bunch of indoor photos taken, then outdoor photos in their yard, and then we drove down to the ocean and had some taken there as well. I'm so excited to see them, but it will be two weeks until the proofs are sent out.

While driving home along to ocean I videoed a bit of the drive. The area along the ocean in Rye is so beautiful. I then turned it into a little movie (like 2-3 minutes) and wanted to post it here, but I keep getting an error message. So hopefully sometime I'll figure that out so I can share it.

And finally I'm going to embarrass myself by sharing some very old photos of myself when I was small. Today I will be turning thirty-? and the kids are making a cake, and giving me a little party tonight with family, which is always lots of fun and includes lots of laughing (mostly done by me). Anyways here they are~

(Told you these were old, but it doesn't mean I am!)
Hope everyone has a Happy Friday!

Another Halloween Item!

Hi There!

Yesterday I created this Halloween Banner which I was very excited about. I've always loved the look of handmade banners, and I have all the materials, so I thought why not make one myself? I think that this is going to something I'll be making more of. Not just Halloween themed, but all different themes.


This morning we are planning to go blueberry picking. It's kind of late in the season, but supposedly the picking is still going strong at the place we like to go. Every year I bring my kids along and things start off good, and everyone's having fun, and then I get to a point where I can't stop picking. I just keep picking more and more and my kids start complaining. I let that go on for awhile until I convince myself that we've got enough blueberries to get through till next summer. And of course I always have so many extra blueberries that when the following summer does arrive I have to try to use them up so we can start the cycle again!

Well I'm off to wake the kids so we can get going!

Have a great day!

More New Stuff!

The last few days I've been working hard to replenish my Etsy shop. Below are the two newest items which I've added ~ the first is a simple Halloween card, and the other is a girly gift card holder/card.









This Trick-or-Treat Halloween is now listed for sale in my MIM shop. To list there it is free, for now at least.

As of yesterday I've been working on creating a Halloween Banner/Decoration thingy which I'm planning on listing on Etsy, although if it doesn't sell I'm going to keep it for myself! I love these types of decorations ~ they're very crafty! Soon I will be sharing photos.

And there's good news for my Facebook Fanpage ~ http://www.facebook.com/pages/PJMDesigns/68608899889?ref=ts .
I've gained almost 30 new fans during the last few days ~ wohoo! I am up to 108 fans which means that I can now have a personal url instead of using the big long one you see above. BTW, I've used the long one because I still have to figure out how to use the shorter version. I'm sure it's easy, I've just got to figure it out.

Have a great day!
Paula
