from (under) the desk of May:

I realize that tomorrow my “recipes” class starts. Four weeks and more than 45 layout examples… we’re going to have FUN!!! If you haven’t already you can check it out (and still sign up!) here.
Back to the present… So I’m cleaning out under my desk, taking a break from work (yes, I realize I said [...]

can you say ouch?

Running a bit crazy behind schedule all thanks to the mystery flare up. Am going to work up a crafting kit for me to do in-bed, and share all about that. Keeping my leg up and slightly bent is my most comfortable position. I’ve been here before friends- and with rest and not messing about with [...]

in progress

edited to add: book winner from post last week is MARDI. E-mail me to claim your prize! (mflaum@comcast.net). More prizes to come…
I’m working on a page right now with Kimberly Poloson’s new love letters line- so beautiful.

This is what I have so far. Problem? I have to change out my bobbin thread in the sewing [...]

not the lite.

here’s a glimpse into my wacky world at this moment…

This is a photo I took quite a while back for promos for my big picture class that starts in about 2 weeks. (or less?) 1 week! NEXT THURSDAY!!! Just got an e-mail from myself about Recipes, and I’m SO excited to start this class. I’m gathering some prizes [...]

sorry, but no.

Hi. I’m sorry, but I can’t allow mommy to sit and write a nice long blog post today. Nope. I’ve got teeth coming in and I need her attention. I’m going to be happy only if I have everything I want when I want how I want.

But I am wearing this CUTE shirt that will [...]

Know what makes me smile?

So I’m working hard, feeling a tad overwhelmed, and working harder. Don’t get me wrong- I love all the hats I wear and jobs I do… but today has been a rough one. So then I see that the photos on www.fiskarscrafts.com got updated today for our design team.

and I have to tell you- seeing [...]

come on in!

I’m here… just not here. If that makes any sense.

That’s my desk when last photographed. In a moment I’ll be under it cleaning out chipboard central… and probably doing a give away (as well as drawing a winner for my last prize!) As you can probably tell I have about five too many projects currently [...]

game day.

my girls.

How cute are these girls??? I know I’m biased, but still. I have a whole series from this shoot that turned out cute, and I can’t wait to get them developed.
Well, seeing as how I want to catch a few hours sleep… I’ll save a bigger post for tomorrow. Now I’m off to sleep. [...]

reading time

we do a lot of reading time here- Elizabeth especially loved having her aunt here to read on-demand. Good times.

Gotta love a 20min or less layout. This one used up some left overs I had on the table. I’ve got a bunch of paperwork/e-mail to finish up so I can go PLAY over at [...]

sister pics

One evening while my sister was here we put on full make up and did a quick photo shoot. I always try to either have a (distant) background, or if it’s close make sure it’s neutral and won’t take away from the headshot style pic.

It was fun taking pictures of an adult subject for a [...]
