welcome…

to the land flu hit.
miss E is suffering from cold/flu (kind of a combo- though I lean towards flu on this bad boy) as of yesterday late afternoon…
 
… and I think dot, dot, dot says it all. I got maybe 3hrs sleep last night and am starting to feel strain.
I’ll be back. When my brain [...]

stuck

We’ve all been there- I’ve got a clog in the creative process. A lump ‘o gunk at the opening of the glue bottle. A backed up sink. The ideas are there, but they can’t get out. Very frustrating indeed!
I think it’s probably time to heed my own advice and work on something else, but I [...]

recap:

I liked the Twilight series quite a bit. Do I think Bella is one weak & lame heroine through 80% of the story? YEAH. Does Edward and his sleep watching/all knowing attitude creep me out at times? YEAH. Should somebody smack Rosalie good ASAP? FOR SURE. Ah but the story, the description, the intricate weaving [...]

new favorite pic.

So I realized that the headshot I use for bio/profile shots was taken back in 2006 and that maybe I could do a new photo since I have a camera and all. So I did. How does it go? Well I hold out my arm and take photos from slightly above myself or even with [...]

I’m in.

First off, I get twitter. I like twitter. It’s like reading text messages from a number of my friends and also people who are just funny and/or entertain. Twitter is simple, straightforward, and quick. It’s got my seal of approval.
I never did myspace or any of those things- just never saw the point. Ah but [...]

In between assignments and projects I’ve been working on our Disneyland album…

The American Crafts polka dot paper (part of the craft fair line) totally was perfect for the photos, as was the effervescence border punch by Fiskars.

I used a decorative corner punch on the big photo – something I don’t usually do (along with matting) [...]

The girls and I took the day off Saturday and headed up into the Sierra Mts. to visit my grandma, aunt, and mom who are all living in my grandparents 1 bedroom/bath cabin with a loft. I asked if it was a non stop party and got evil eyed, so I’m guessing it’s not quite the slumber [...]

tgif randomness:

Hi. I’m here in my crafting dojo working on a number of things. Paint + cardstock are two major players, though a lot of scissors and fun are coming into the mix too. First – can you help me figure something out? what is this stuff called? You can buy it on a spool near [...]

dear kid.

Hey E, it’s mom. So it’s frustrating that your idea of a cute photo is this:

Where is the beautiful little girl I know and love? Why must she hide when the camera is seen? (sigh) Once in a while I catch a smile or nice face, but mostly you want to make weird faces like [...]

little bit ‘o tink

Elizabeth insists we go to pixie hollow 5x the next time we’re in Disneyland. HA! She wouldn’t even go near a fairy, but she says next time maybe she will. In the meantime, I’ve scrapbooked our photos + the autographs Rebecca got…

Hmmm… how to fit it all in? (I love ‘in progress’ photos)…

It’s simple but [...]
