It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Sure you might read the title of this post and thing - wow she's already in the Christmas spirit but nope - for me the most wonderful time of the year is the Food & Wine Festival at Epcot! I count down to it like Christmas that's a true store!! 

We visit the festival multiples times during Food & Wine season where else can you try samples of delicious foods at small prices with small portions so that if you don't like you could just toss it in the trash  - as you can probably guess though tossing food is a rarity with us crazy Taylors! 

This week was our second visit through Food & Wine, it was a lovely week night stroll where we saw Sugar Ray perform and we ate some yummy foods! And not so surprising we are heading back to the Festival today with friends to enjoy the beautiful Florida weather and more deliciousness! 

One of my favorite shots I've ever taken - EVER 

This Italian girls loves her some Pasta and shrimp!

Another favorite shot playing with the Vibrant Color setting on my camera

Delicious chocolate and coconut Cake from Australia

I think my plan for these photos will be to scrap them of course - I might put together a Smash Book wouldn't that be fun? And I will for sure put some of the amazing tips I learned during this weekends True Scrap event to good use. Stay tuned as I have A LOT more to say about True Scrap as well as new creations both in the scrapbooking room and in the kitchen and some fun we've had with our Halloween decorating! More soon...

Around My Desk

Having fun creating photo strips with the Vignette App on my phone so thought I would give a small glimpse around my desk this morning!

Alive

I am still here alive and and for the most part well. I have let so many other things get in the way of blogging and crafting and cooking but I'm here and I'm back on track. It helps that this is my absolute favorite time of year there is something about the Fall that just inspires me. The weather is getting nicer, the holiday season is kicked off, there are so many yummy foods and amazing craft projects that just need to be done so it makes me happy to be back in action now that Fall is in full swing. 


I kicked off Fall festivities with a quick trip to New York and New Jersey. The reason for the trip was so I could be Godmother to my dear friends Bob and Shannon's new bundle of joy Raiden. While I was traveling up North I spent a couple of days with my cousin and best friend Denise. Being with Denise reminded me how much I love the City and city life. Walking to the store and getting our hair done, and going to parks that did not have rides and lines and gift shops but instead had trees and leaves and walking paths. One day we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and it was dreary and rainy and I was wet but happy! And Denise made me feel so welcome that I'm already trying to figure out when I can get up there again!

It was windy and wet and fabulous

Beautiful!! 

Aahh yes real and delicious NY pizza! 

Me and Denise in the park 

In Jersey I got to spend time with Bob and Shannon and all their children - how fun! I wanted to smuggle the kids home with me. The Christening was beautiful and Shannon and Bob really went above and beyond making me feel welcome and comfortable in their home.

Me and the adorable Piper!

Willow and Amelia

So glad I got to spend time with Diana and meet Amelia FINALLY!

Now that Fall is underway and the weather is cooling off here in Florida we are going to be out and about much more and I will be blogging much more. I apologize for my absence but I will ask you my readers to hold me accountable and see that I don't disappear again! More soon...
