Some scrapbook pages

I have a goal for October, and it is to do 1 layout everyday. I didn't make this goal until just the other day so it wasn't the 1st day of oct. that I started. So far I have managed to do this. And my other goal is to only use my stash, nothing new. So we will see how I do.

I decided that I would really try and mix up my older photos with some of the newer ones, that are of course of my dgd, monkeyface!

so I dug out photos from the 90's. These ones are of Harvest Days in Les's hometown. The fields were "stooked" just like in the early 1900's and an old threshing machine was brought in to show people how harvesting was done in "the olden days" It was a great demonstration and it showed how it really took a team effort to get the harvesting done then. They started out with horses pulling the hayrack but I think the loud noise of the old tractor running the threshing machine scared them , so they converted to a tractor pulling the hayrack. Or maybe they were just running out of time, I can't remember. But I thought this was a great memory to have in the scrapbooks. I am going to try and find some photos of actual threshing in my mother's old albums. If I do, I will add a page of them to this set.

I am trying out the method of grouping my embellishments in 1 area like I have seen on alot of the scrapbook blogs and sites. I am not sure I have the knack for this but I will keep trying and see how I like it. I still prefer simple and minimalistic but I have to use up some stash so will try to add alittle more than I usually do and see how it goes.

On the weather topic, it is still snowing here and I don't like it one bit. It is way too early. And with the wind, it feels like winter, not fall. We had a long cold spring and now an early winter, it just isn't fair!!! But we all know the answer to that one, don't we????
