I have been goofing around with several different projects (as usual!). This is the first pair of gum paste shoes for the cake I am making for the Young Women's presentation on the 17th. I did these on Friday, then I also got a second pair of shoes made yesterday.

On Friday evening I met with some ladies to work on scrapbooking projects. I haven't touched any of my scrapbooks in quite a while. I took a photo album from 10 years ago and actually managed to get a few more photos placed into it. The other women all do digital scrap-booking. After seeing Kasandra's projects and talking to her about it, she convinced me to give it a try.

I did this page with a free program I downloaded last night. . . I just may have to do more of this type of "scrapping". All of my photos are digital anyway. It is really no muss, no fuss, and also fairly inexpensive; besides being quick and easy.

We had 4 neighbor kids drop by for trick-or-treat last night, we then split candy the leftovers amongst our family. . .that was the extent of the celebrations here. We had planned to take the girls up to the mall for trick-or-treat, but one of them has been more than a little reluctant to get her schoolwork up to date; then there was some VERY bad attitude displayed. After multiple "second" chances, we finally pulled the plug on the festivities. (I guess I got to be an ogre for Halloween this year.) Fortunately, the individual involved is acting more civil this morning.
