THought I would post a Layout I finished last night!

I added some more ribbon and embelies to it and like how it turned out. This is the one with 40 pics!

 

yuck

Thats really all I can say. I feel so gross. I am nauseated and dizzy, and my stomach hurts so bad. Stayed home today. The bathroom is my new best friend. peace out.

Its really thursday right?

Woke up this morning thinking it was Friday, made me smile, then I remember that yesterday was Wednesday and that it is indeed Thursday. The day before Friday. The almost the weekend feeling but still not quite there.

I am working on a layout with FORTY pics, yes FORTY! It of our family reunion over the fourth of July. I loved all the pics so much I wanted to use most of them but didn't want to do 6 layouts to get them on there.so I am going to put them all on one double page layout. I don't do doubles much anymore. I am a single page kinda gal. So this should be interesting. Will be working on it a bit here and there so I will post when I get done. using different colors too. ones out of my "box" so to speak.

finally finished it!

Been working on this layout for a week now! LOL.. adding a bit here and there, moving it around, etc. I finally finished it last night. Well almost, still need to journal on the tags in the pocket.

Paper is 3 bugs in a rug. I picked this up while at cku in Utah. Haven't seen it at any of my LSS and I am totally in love with it!

road trip, fishing, cleaning, the er

That pretty much sums up my weekend. We took a fun road trip Saturday to challis, stopped to fish, eat, check out earthquake fault lines, deer, porcupines, cows, and even mountain sheep! No fish were caught but Taylor got ANOTHER bug bite that landed us in the ER LATE Sunday night. Apparently it was by a bee and he had an allergic reaction that caused his ankle to swell to the size of a baseball. I was worried about some nasty disease be all is good. They pumped him full of Zanec and steroids and the swelling has gone down quite a bit. Course now he is tired after only a few hours of sleep so I pray he is OK for Darla today.

We cleaned all day Sunday and took a break to meet with a photography client. I am doing their wedding in August and cant wait! They are so cute and young and fresh!

Well that's pretty much it from the home front! Hope you all are doing well!

Me

Here it is 10:30 and I am already ready to go home....

I wanna get back to the layout I am working on right now. Its a layout with my friend Sarah (yes you) and her hubby. Using some paper from 3 bugs in a rug and completely LOVING it. Want to finish...need to add some ribbon and embelies and journaling.

Taylor went to the Dr yesterday. He has a major spider bite that got majorly infected, almost to the point where it needed lancing. Thank goodness that they didn't have to...I think I would have passed out. They put him on antibiotics and it looks better already.

My little digi camera is broken. sniff sniff, BUT good news. They will let me send it in to see if it can be fixed, if it isn't worth the price they will let me trade it in for a 610 for a hundred and 20 bucks! good deal.......will have to think about it.

Huh, funny the guy across the street is getting something repossessed, well at least that's what it looks like. I think  its his hot tub in his back yard.....

Have a good Friday y'all

Taylor fell asleep watching hocus pocus so I played!

used up some scraps I found when cleaning out my scrap room a few weeks back. Happens to be my favorite of KI's. Took about 15 minutes!

OH and finally finished the wedding proofing! ALL DONE!!

not going to work.....

I took Monday, Tues, and wed off work originally so even though I came home early from the retreat I am not going into work. I was asked to and I told him no. That's just the way it is. I have taken no vaca days and only going to take a week at Christmas so I am taking it off! Slept in till 9 and had a great breakfast with my son. I am cleaning house and trying to get the wedding shoot proofing ALL DONE today. Only a few left.

Here are some of the layouts I did at the retreat. TOTALLY Ali Edwards inspired!

I wanna scrap more but have to do other things first...maybe later!

LOves me!

sneaking a post!

jjust sneaking a post from the retreat. Got almost all projects done I brought, so heading home today to be with bug. Will post some layouts later!

Off for a couple days!

Took a few days off of work to enjoy a scrapping retreat with some friends! Don't miss me too much!

thursday

The day before Friday the day after Wednesday.Tired as all get out and don't really know why. Went to sleep about 10 last night and got plenty of sleep. Need to do a bit of house cleaning tonight and hopefully make some more progress on the proofing of the wedding photos. I am probably a little more than half way done. Want to scrap too, but need to tidy my scrap room up. Piled some stuff in a corner I didn't know what to do with so I need to tackle that. Never enough time in the day. Never.

I know I know....kick me in the butt....i deserve it

But please not too hard it hurts today...so do my thighs....

I photographed a wedding Saturday and boy was I exhausted. I can tell you right now I do not charge enough...think the rates will have to change when 2007 comes along. Loved the wedding. The bride was beautiful, ceremony was precious and the reception was rockin. Really rockin.

Halfway through my CF card filled up, went to grab another and they were GONE. Had 40 min till the ceremony and ran to Farr's (camera, jewelry, and electronics store) for some more cards, opened my purse and my WALLET was gone!!! I left it at home on my scrap desk!!! I burst into tears and Farr's gave me 350 bucks worth of product on the promise of being there before they closed! I had to call in a friend to break into my house so she could bring me my wallet and take my debit card to pay for it. Thank the Lord for Farr's I will always shop at Farr's from now on! Crisis averted. I am loving a ton of the images so far. Took so many pics that i took me almost all day Sunday to just pick the ones to proof!! Will be working on that all week looks like. Please look at the pictures here!!

Got an email today from a friend of mine asking for prayers. She is trying to adopt some children from Wednesday's child. She is a wonderful mother and these kids deserve it, so if you have a moment and feel inclined could you keep your fingers crossed or say a prayer for her?

Went to Jackson last weekend and walked into a photography gallery with photos I could have gotten lost in forever, BUT I was with younger cousins so I just went through quickly but got stuck on this.... Totally entranced and enamored by his work. No way I could afford a print but I did get a coffee table book to peruse. Amazing work with color and the definition of the faces gets my heart beating.

Boys are still gone and even though I  miss them terribly I am still enjoying my 'alone' time. Well that's pretty much it for today! Thanks for dropping by!!

edited: my youngest son just called. He is coming home TOMORROW!!! Oldest will stay a little longer. anyone want to drive to boise with me tomorrow?LOL

OHHHH almost forgot to invite you all to my wedding to this man........................................................................................................................................................................

  Oh baby.....Saw this movie yesterday and loved it so much I didn't want to leave the theater!!! I want to eat him with some fava beans and bottle of chianti.....

Recap

Last friday I met up with my friend of 22 years! Did a quick shoot in her other friends parents back yard. Had fun, had trouble getting the little boy to be happy. He was so tired from a long car ride it wasn't really fair to shove a camera in his face.

 

What fun!
