Third Thursday Scrapbook Stories: October 2013

Katie is not only a Mrs. now, but she is just one day back from her Bahamas honeymoon....she better be rockin' an awesome tan!  I would have been more than understanding had she asked for a reprieve this month with all that she has had going on, but as always, she was prepared.  I actually received this post mid September.  Not only was she early but she made sure that her layout was season appropriate!

Hi everyone!

October is going to be a crazy month for AJ and I. I'm saying "going to be" because I'm writing this post way way in advance so I can get it to Julie before it posts (which I guess would be today!)

The reason I have to write it so far in advance is that AJ and I are getting married on October 5! And we are going to be on our honeymoon until October 16 (which I guess would be yesterday...)

So, here I am in August, writing this post for Julie :)

Aside from October being our wedding month, October is also home to one of my favorite holidays - Halloween.

Now, some people are shocked to hear that Halloween is one of my favorites. Scary movies, blood, gore and anything haunted totally freaks me out. As in, afraid to turn off the lights, crazy nightmares, can't sleep for days because of a movie commercial, kind of freaks me out.

But, Halloween also has an adorable side. A smiling jack-o-lanterns, nice witches, friendly ghosts side. That's the kind of Halloween I like!

And this Halloween paper fell squarely on the "cute" Halloween side, so of course, I had to use it!


I wish I could remember what paper pack this adorable paper came from. I know I bought it at Michael's, but despite all my online searching, that's all I can dig up.

My other favorite thing about this paper (aside from the cuteness) was that all I had to add were my pictures, the journal spots and the "fa-boo-lous" ghost. Everything else was already there for me!

Sometimes its so nice to just have to add my pictures and move on. Especially when it is already summer and I've yet to scrap Halloween!

Do you ever use pre-embellished papers?

    1. Hahaha, thanks! I wish I was always this prepared, but I got myself together for this one!

      Thank you about the layout :) That ghost is my favorite! I've got a few more stickers just like him stashed away for another Halloween layout one day :)

  2. Cute baseball costumes! Halloween is the best holiday ever and we should totally celebrate it twice a year. And get the day off paid.

    1. Thank you! I loved our costumes that year!

      I agree with you - I want the day off paid. I also want it to be acceptable for adults to trick or treat. I mean, I know I can buy my own candy, but you never get the same variety!

    1. Thanks! I loved those costumes! We were hoping to rock them again this year, but no one is having a Halloween party!

      We were going to have one, but we never got our act together after the honeymoon to put it together!
