Burts Pumpkin Farm

Sunday, we visited Burts Pumpkin farm. My sister Connie and Josh's stepbrother BJ and his family went with us. We took a hayride through the North Georgia mountains, in the crisp cool autumn air. The trail leads through tranquil mountain stream into popcorn and pumpkin fields. After stopping at the pumpkin house to hear Burt’s talking pumpkins, Autumn and Gourdy, the hayride then proceeds on a two mile trip down a winding mountain road. The hayride ends looking down from a panoramic hilltop view of Burt’s farm and breath taking Amicalola Falls.

We seen thousands of Pumpkins from 1 pound to 150. The farm was filled Indian corn, cornstalks, hay bales, winter squash, gourds and fall decorations. Blake wanted to walk around and explore the pumpkin patches, he in no way wanted to be held. We had a nice time. I love Autumn. The nice breeze blowing your hair and the beautiful colors around you. I love the burnt oranges, reds, and browns.











Its sad to say, but I think this is our first family photo since we left the hospital with Blake. He is now 18 months old too.

House hunting

Look I squeezed in a few minutes to scrap. Ok I'm slowing working on a new page. Problem is Me and the Embellishments are not agreeing on anything, so we decided to do nothing. I need some inspiration. My lack of space isn't helping either. I guess you can tell your addicted when you are forced to sit inside a small closet in the floor to scrap. Yep, I miss my scrap table, and papers and my ME time. I cant wait until we can find a house. In the mean time I'm day dreaming of my scrap room. Im thinking tiffany blue with touches of hot pink with zebras prints and black furniture and frames. Or something a bit more calm like your traditional yellow and black.

So I think we are in for a long and dreadful house search. This week we looked at a few houses. We toured this house and I hated it. I really love the split foyer style , but this is not our house, and I dont care to see another.


The inside stinks. Its very small and all the rooms are extremely square. The owners or previous tenants went crazy with the paint. It was everywhere it should not be. The trims and ceiling were covered where they didn't bother to tape.

For the house flippers out there in North Georgia, I found you a home. The asking price here is cheap at 44,500, and it has 3/4 acres of land. This house needs updating to be pretty again.




The search shall continue......and in case you were wondering the chairs were gone.

A sign of relief, Blake is better. Yay! He is back to his happy little playful self. I have the best news ever to tell.....well I think it is.... Blake learned to give kisses. It was the cutest thing ever in my mind. lol. He is very stingy with them though.

Josh and I went to the thrift store Friday to get away. Josh found some old servers which he was happy to have. I found 2 black wooden chairs that were coated in layers and layers of paint. They were very sturdy and priced at $12.51 each. I didn't buy them because we don't have a space to put them at the moment. I've been thinking about them since we left. I think I might go back and see if they are still there. I could sand them down and paint then hot pink or turquoise for my girl room after we buy the house.

I have something to show you. I finally was able to grab a moment to myself and scrap a quick page. Its quite simple, but I'm happy with it.

The ER

This past week has been rough. Instead of spending the weekend with my sister, we were sick. Josh, myself and his mother all wake up on Saturday morning with some type of virus. It was awful. I have not been sick in years, so I miserable.

Today was Blake's first ER visit. He has thrust. It looks so gross, but they gave him medication so he should feel better soon. Poor little guy looks so miserable.

Blake has some little ones to play with now. This is a photo of Brennon and Blake playing cars. Brennon was trying his best to line 3 up on the track, but Blake was sending them down before he could. It was cute to see the little boys playing together. The second photo is his cousin Jaylin. She was giving Blake a ride on her hummer. He enjoyed that alot.



I still don't have anything to show you. Whay! I need to get some photos printed and some work done. I don't have to space here to drag out all my things. I'm back to the kitchen table and putting everything away every night.....and its not even my kitchen table anymore. ahhhhh!

Quick post

We are finally back in Georgia. Things seem so crazy strange here now. From the accents to the long country roads. wow. I never realized how country Georgia really was until now. I totally understand why everyone was asking me and I quote "where are you from" all the time.......laugh laugh.....but I'm not sure why most thought I was from Sweden? Anyway, nothing new to show you. I hope to find some space to drag out some of my new American crafts stuff soon. Toodles for now.
