Hello Friday!

I love your card Tammy! You know I'm card-making challenged, so I'll definitly be copying that one. Very pretty!
I'm so happy to see the weather finally starting to warm up, but then that means it's time to start gardening. Now, I don't have much interest in gardening because it usually involves sweating, but in typical female fashion, I love flowers.
Know what I grow the best?Yep, dandilions.My yard doesn't (luckily) have a lot of them right now, but at this rate, it won't be long. :P

Fortunatly, my parents both have green thumbs, a gene they decided to omit to give to me, so I'll be over there soon taking photos of their roses, and other pretty things that I don't know the names of or can't spell.

What about you? Do you garden?

Take care everyone, and thanx again for all the kind words on being published. :) See you soon!

Challenge for this week!

Good morning!!

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, isn't it awesome? I've actually started digging out my warm weather clothes. For the first time this year, this weekend I wore shorts. Well, maybe not short shorts, but my legs did start to see some sun. Can't hardly wait for summer!

So if we've ever met in real life, you know that I think it's really important to document yourself. No one knows you better than you. And even the littlest details are important to remember. I want my future generations to know me.

This week's challenge is to take a self-portrait, and scrap it. Doesn't matter if the details about yourself are big or small. Doesn't matter at all. Just take a photo of yourself, that you took of yourself, and scrap it. Easy peasy right?

I have a large mirror in my living room that is perfect for when no one I know will let me take photos of themselves. I used up some Basic Grey that I've been hoarding, and some wonderful little letter stickers for the title. I'm not sure how well the title reads, but it says "Whatever you are, be a good one." ~Abraham Lincoln.

The butterfly, I stamped on a transparency with Staz-on, and cut it out.

And you know I love my Tim Holtz products.... these dog tags that say imagine, journey, and wander were perfect.

There you are then, go off! Create! Have fun! See you again later this week!

working on something

So I've been working on a super secret surprise project. Can't tell you what it is, other than to say when Kari told me about said super secret surprise project, I was really excited. *grin*

What can I show you instead? How about some pictures that are inspiring me right now?This one was taken on Mother's day. It's me and my sister and sister-in-laws, and my mom. Momma looks pretty proud huh? I can't wait to do something special with it.

And this one is special too. lol. Me, my brothers, and sister. Don't ask what we're doing, I couldn't tell ya. But it was fun to hang out with them, and just visit. By the way, we're on the couch, from oldest to youngest, starting with me. :)

Take care this weekend, and I hope you get some scrapping done! :) I'm getting back to work asap on my super secret surprise project, I can't wait to show you!

p.s!

BTW! My layout came back from Canadian Scrapbooker today, and they mentioned that the magazine will be out soon. So as soon as I know where I am in it, I'll let you know! :)
