Creative Escape

Sister and I went on our annual trip to Phoenix for a "Creative Escape"...for those of you that don't know, it's a scrapbooking convention. They say it's the cadillac of all scrapbooking events in the United States...over 10,000 women applied and only 600 got in! Hard to believe!! We had a great time just being together, but the classes were also great. I'm a really slow scrapper, so I came home with boxes of unfinished projects, but I also came home inspired to be creative; which is really what it's all about! I Halloweenized ( I know that's not a word ) my booth today and sold three big items while I was there! Yippie....

Back to School

Going back to school time is always a sad time for me! Austin and Beau headed back to Starkville with the excitement of moving into a townhouse and Ashton headed back to high school with the excitement of being a Senior! Boo Hoo! What will I do next year???

Also in August, Mark and I took our good friends Trey and Courtney to Port Gibson. It was the weekend of the member guest at Moss Wood, so Mark and Trey played lots of golf and Courtney and I did our own thing. Courtney likes true life ghost stories on t.v. and was very disappointed when Momma and John did not come out to greet her. She mentioned a house in St. Francisville, LA that was known as the most haunted house in America; so I googled it and found out it's only and hour and a half away from Port Gibson. We took the tour and walked the grounds in hopes of seeing a ghost or two and I took lots of pictures hoping there would be a ghost in one. These two pictures are of Courtney holding the hand of her imaginary ghost friend and the other one is of the front of the house and if you blow it up really big and look in the front door ( the one with lights on either side) you can see the ghost of the two children that were killed there. They were killed after eating birthday cake laced with oleander! Look close; I'm not kidding! The girl is very clear on the left and the boy is not as clear on the right!!
