Wrapping up The holiday weekend...

The weekend turned out to be pretty darn good, for starting it with no plans. Dinner with the musketeer's, A pancake breakfast, A cookout/bonfire, roasting of marshmellows and over tired kids. Strong drinks and good friends. and trading responsibility and chores (laundry will be there tomorrow), in order to scrabook a bit today.

And what did I design? Well for starters I began an 8x8 mini book based off the inspiration of the blog Unphotographable. I used this idea, instead of pictures, to tell the stories behind my favorite songs. You know, the songs in you life that bring back memories, that make you feel old, but only when you realize how long ago the song was popular. This is a paper scrapbook, so I don't think you'll be seeing too much of it on here (and my hand writing is wickedly bad, which also decreases the chances of it being seen by the general public.). Next I hopped back on the 'puter, to redesign this blog that hasn't been touched in almost 2 years (even I was surprised by this). See my new header (look up). It was made using stuff from the fabulous designer Vinnie pearce's kit "Placid" available at 2 peas in a bucket. And then I had fun digi scrapping a few photos of my Nephew, M. At 4 months old he's really starting to become much more interactive!

I Hope that your weekend was as good as mine!

Yes, I shall...

Try this blogging thing again. Maybe this time I'll have better luck, err, consistancy.

Beautiful Day

I spent the afternoon chillin' with Kris and her best girlfriends. They are always willing to have their photo taken, which gives me a chance for a lot of pratice. and I was able to get in about a 20 min, walk too. We hijacked the canoe to take this shot at Hopeville pond, not far from the house. I love when they let me have a small peek into their world.

1 year

Scary. I just noticed that the last time that I posted (other than today) was exactly a year ago. Where does the time go? Aand why haven't I been writing something, anything almost everyday?! Easy, cause I'm a bit lazy. But that "note to self a year ago, it's still true. On that note I'm out of here to go watch monday night football.

Who me, run?

Due to a recent and unexpected turn of events, which I do not yet fully understand, I must (despite my hatred of red and black color combos) declare publicaly that I love the mouse. Not just a mouse, THE mouse (hey there, Hi there, Ho there). The one of a kind, billion dollar generating cartoon with 3 fingers and over sized ears. A Walt Disney kind of mouse. Yes, Mickey.

But more than mickey, I love the fact that this Mouse has tricked my best friend into running (dare I say it) a half marathon! The Princesses 1/2 Marathon to be exact. and means I also have to say that I love Princesses and princess wanna be's.

I do not post this with sarcasm. I do this in support of my best friend. Because if anyone can do this, it's her. And, I have complete comfidence in her. So please, lend your support, visit her blog and make sure that she stays on her excersize and training regime. Best of Luck "Whome"!
