It was time to put a new banner up for one of my favorite holidays! Love this color scheme, too bad I hadn't done this one a few weeks ago so I could keep it up a little longer. Oh well. I finally learned how to capture an image of my computer screen. Pretty handy!
I skipped out on the Halloween parties this year. I love dressing up, but waited until the last minute to go looking for costumes and there just wasn't anything I liked enough to justify spending a ton of money. Plus, the annual party that friends Matty & Colleen have every year wasn't happening this year because they are in the process of building a new house. The other parties we knew of weren't hosted by people we know very well and there would not have been many people we knew attending. Hopefully next year we will start planning early.
Last night was also the WBL Class of 1996 10-year reunion. This was the grad class after me, but many of my friends graduated that year. Hope all of you girls had fun! Make sure to send me pictures :)
I hung out with Lanee a lot this weekend. On Thursday night she took me to a nice restaurant in Withrow, MN that we had never been to before, called Sal's Angus Grill. This place is less than 10 miles away from us, but it is a drive through the windy country roads to get there. The food was excellent and the atmosphere of the place was nice too (large log cabin and fire places, etc). We will be going back soon, I am sure!
Lanee also came over Friday night while I was scrappin'. She asked me if I had any stuff I wanted to get rid of.....I was like, what stuff? She says, "scrap stuff". This surprised me at first because I have never really known Lanee to be the crafty-type. She told me she wanted to make a wedding album, so I said, why wait? We have some pictures here now, let's get started! So Lanee sat down and did her very first scrapbook page, without any help from me at all. It turned out great! It makes me really excited that another of my close friends might want to participate in my hobby with me :)
I will scan and post the layouts sometime later today!
PS I hate that Day-Light Savings Time has ended. I hate it when it is dark out by 5:30pm!!!

Sal's is a cool restaurant. It's about 5 minutes from Ty's mom's house, so I have been there a couple of times.

When can we start a local (drop-off trades rather than shipping and handling) circle journal???

Love the new banner and new colors! Lanee did a wonderful job on her first page.
I don't care too much for the time change either.
