Bring on the Oldies - And Fall too!

It's Oldie But Goodie Day at The Bug Blog
While I LOVE LOVE LOVE new images, there's something that is so much fun to me about digging out the OLDIES and giving them new life!

With Olivia's special note box, I TRY to never use the same image over.  I'm sure over time, there will be one or two that get reused (by mistake) because the old mind has forgotten, but for now, no duplicates yet!

Because tomorrow, September 22 is the official first day of fall, I thought I'd share with you Livy's "Welcome Fall" card for her special box!

You might be inspired to pull out some of your oldies too, OR to head over to The Bugaboo Stamps Store and add an oldie to your collection!  :)

Hugs & Happy Days!

BINGO!

It's a BINGO challenge day at The Bug Blog!

Great BINGO challenge that I had to get in on today!  :)

This little cutie is for my mom who just celebrated her 70th birthday (er, I mean 29th birthday) this past Monday, one day before Olivia's birthday!

She'll be at our house today celebrating with Olivia and all our family & friends!  

My BINGO was Sentiment, Sparkle & a Bugaboo Image.
I LOVE the way this turned out!

Anything But A Card @ The Bug Blog

Happy Monday!

Today it's an Anything But a Card Day at The Bug Blog!

Before we had Olivia, summer freezer jam was something that was made in our house like clockwork.  My mom would spend the weekend, we'd have more fruit then we ever thought we'd be able to peel, squish & can.  But, every summer we'd do it!  We'd have a gorgeous array of fruit freezer jams that would last us the year.  A yummy addition to a housewarming gift, host gift, or just Sunday English Muffins or Scones!

Well, now that Olivia is almost three, this summer SHE helped with the freezer jam!  :D  She loved it!  She likes to do her Kids Size cooking, so this was RIGHT UP HER ALLEY!

We made 24+ jars of jam in Yellow Peach & Raspberry Peach.  Of course, we could have made more, but the attention span of an almost three year old kept us to around 2 dozen jars this year.

Anyway, I yammer on because my ABC project today is little labels for our Freezer Jam Jars.  :)  The back of the label has the date it was made, the flavor, storing instructions and made with love signed by Olivia.  :)

Tools - Cuttlebug & Nesties to cute the round labels out and attach to the freezer jam jars

Extra STUFF - Computer program to create labels

You can pick up this image and lots of other great images at The Bugaboo Stamps store.  Tomorrow is a new release day, so be sure to check back.

Tomorrow in our house, we'll be celebrating Birthday number 3!  

Where has the time gone?!

Hugs & Happy Days!
