October Counterfeit Kit

Can you believe that it's October already? I can't! But I am so happy for fall-I truly love the change of seasons! And fall means cooler weather, sweaters, colorful leaves, back to school for the kiddos, and Halloween. With 4 kids, how can I not love all of that? Anyhow, back to the kit!

This month, Beth and Meridy chose these kits from Little Red Scrapbook for our inspiration:

  10. Hey Margie! Thanks for the comment on my kit. I'm glad I popped over, because I could have sworn that I'd already told you that your kit is beautiful. But I hadn't!

    Yours are always my favourites - I think we have similar taste. Just don't tell the others :)

  11. Wow, these kits are stocked full of great stuff, Margie! Love the banners in both, and love the choices of Girl's Paperie and G45 for the first one, perfect matches!
    And I HAVE to also say that your Harry Potter party featured above is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Seriously, so many great ideas and what a LOT of work you put into it! I'm thinking of doing a Harry Potter theme for our family Halloween party after seeing this!
