we are heading down to alabama tomorrow. hubby's family reunion is saturday, i can't wait. it's going to be a long drive (10 hrs.) with a 3 yr old so we are heading out at night in hopes he will sleep most of the way. i will be prepared either way with activities, snacks, movies and the wii!!! lol
i'll be back with photos to share first of the week. :)
i'm sitting here making this entry when i SHOULD be scrapping. i've been in a slump and i'm slowly crawling out of it. hope to share something soon. :)
My boy, Lake, finished up his soccer season this past weekend. I know he is mine and as a mother I have to brag on him but seriously....we didn't have the best coach....or very active players but my guy, he rocked the soccer field. There were about 3 team players that really carried the team this season...ironically, they all had red hair (well, my son has somewhat redish hair, lol). I couldn't be prouder of him and how hard he played. I felt every shin kick, knee in gut and knock down that he experienced. ouch.
My cutie niece, Alexis is turning 3 today. Happy Birthday sweet girl! Did I ever mention I'm her favorite Auntie! lol :)
I should have my hands on this fun package any day now. I had debated and debated on what photo enhancing program to buy and settled on this one. I can't imagine how long it will take me to learn it but I'm game. :)
Oh, if anyone has masted it and would like to share tips please let me know....or even if you know of a great online tutorial I would appreicate it. :)
have a creative day!
are you a member? i am. several years ago there was a period of a couple years that i enveloped myself in music. i listened to it whenever and where ever possible. i really listened to the lyrics and songs that spoke to me and i played them over and over and....you get the point. lol music has somehow been a way for me to focus on me. i didn't "have" music for the last few years and i've felt lost. it's weird and hard to explain but if anyone can make sense and relate....please let me know. lol i've been downloading mp3 files and burning disks....i'm feeling right again. i think for myself when i have music filling my head. i can walk my treadmill longer and my driving trips seem faster....it just centers me...calms me.
ok, enough of that....
if you have a song.....a FAVORITE song....something that really speaks to you, would you share it with me? thanks. :)
i'm trying to find my mojo so for now....i will leave you with this pic. my 3 yr old decided to put a step stool (from the garage) on top of a foot stool to sit and play with his cars in the window sill. lol boys, sheesh! ha.
i'm excited because this was a long time coming. lol i had purchased a laptop a couple years ago that was gently used (less than a year old) and even though it was from a distant friend it still turned out to be junk and i have been bummed about that expense that was lost. :( anyway, i'm excited to break out the scanner and produce some better quality images of my creations and my motivation to share more of my layouts is busting at the seams. lol
ok i'm done jumping up and down. teehee.
i will be back VERY soon!
i was BROWSING etsy (as i OFTEN do) and ran across three (1, 2, 3) fun sites for creative supplies....go forth and spend a li'l moo-laa. teehee i plan to real soon, i am just waiting for my pocketbook to recover slightly from last week's stash-stock-up for a day long crop i attended this past saturday.
other news.....well, there really isn't any. lol just living life. summer break is almost here for my kiddos and i'm ready to have them home and doing some fun family things. we haven't camped in several years but hope to this year. my little Brody is dying to go fishing. i'm not sure why he has such a strong desire as we haven't done that either in YEARS but he has a child size pole and he speaks of going daily. i don't eat fish nor do i find it entertaining to put live bait on hooks. lol i do like being outdoors and enjoying the beautiful scenery though. :) the zoo, picnics, family reunions, and other short fun trips are all on our 'to-do' list for this summer....what's on yours???
i will be back soon with some layouts and pics from that crop i spoke of. take care.
