well, it’s my turn up at elle’s journaling class.

still super thrilled to be participating along with all the other super talented people.

here’s my layout.

thanks again, elle, for the wonderful opportunity.

i’m…

i can hardly believe it, but it’s true.

we got home tuesday night (last week) from a week away and wednesday morning i woke up to phone calls and emails that the shoppe site was down.  virus.  great.  (course that virus has come back in the meantime, but, whatever)  :(

totally putting a damper on my day.

and then i got an email from cheryl at cartwheels in my mind asking me to join their inspiration blog/magazine. ummm… yes please!  a site totally dedicated to scrapbooking, photography, home decor, organization and all things crafty.  it couldn’t be more dreamy.

i’ve been floating on a creative high since that morning.  but of course i lost some sleep that night too… worrying about how i’ll contribute to the already fabulous team there.  shh.  don’t tell.

i actually had plans that morning to go out to the creek and take a picture of myself doing a cartwheel for this post.  but let’s just pretend that it didn’t happen because i didn’t have anyone to take the picture. not because i thought i’d pull something!  ;)

so, if you haven’t stopped by the site you really should.  it’s updated multiple times a day and there’s some really cool stuff happening there!  i’ve been enjoying it since it started, and it’s sooo cool to actually think i’ll be contributing to it!

rain day | family

we have every intention of FINALLY doing this session.  it was planned for a while ago, but then i got sick (for a month!) and it got postponed.  and then summer happened and it was so hard to schedule.

we finally set a date and watched the weather all day.  numerous emails later we decided to push it up a couple hours to avoid the clouds that were rolling in.

as soon as they got here it started raining.

we waited it out.

as soon as it stopped we ran out to get started, determined to get as many family shots as we could before the rain started again.

and we just got started with the kiddos…

when it started to rain again.

so, we’re rescheduling (again) for a child session.  :)  and hopefully that’ll be the last time!  ;)

cleaning the studio

while cleaning out my studio i found a bunch of things that were waiting to be listed in my etsy shop.

i marked a lot of these items down and i still have more to list, but i wanted to get some out so that i could justify making some new goodies.

enjoy.

journaling

just a little reminder for you scrapbookers that Elle’s journaling class starts tomorrow.  there’s journaling tips, layouts, prizes and more everyday till the 28th!

here’s a peek at my layout for the class…

and in shoppe news… the virus affecting the site was fixed, but now it’s back.  so the site will be down until that’s resolved.

have a great weekend.
