Fall, already? & new halloween goodies

Well, although it is not really fall yet, it is getting there. The kids will be heading back to school in less than two weeks. I get a little melancholy when summer ends, it seems to go so fast, and here in NE Ohio it is hard to think that cold weather is right around the corner AGAIN! But there are two good things to look forward to, at least for me, before summer ends. First, our family vacation is coming up at the end of August. I cannot wait to spend some much needed time relaxing with my family. I should say with my husband and daughter. My sons are both in college and will not be coming this year.
Secondly, and almost as good is the new halloween goodies being released from all my favorite scrapbook companies. Check out the Making Memories Spellbound collection at www.michellesscrap.com .I have to say although I love the paper and the glitter foam stickers, the brads have to be my favorite. The page pebble brads are so classy and the bulk brads are so cute...you can't use just one!! What are some of the things you look forward to this time of year?
