One of my favorite places to be

I'm working on a layout from our San Diego vacation--our last day when we went to the beach, but I haven't finished it yet, so I thought I'd share one from last Christmas when my sister and her family were out here. I blurred some faces cause I don't have permission to post their pictures (and it's a little late now to get their permission, lol!). This is one of my all-time favorite layouts. The design works so well with the photos. There's a lot of journaling, but I'm just too lazy to write it. Going to the beach in the winter has such a different feel to it. I enjoy it.

I really like the fact that you can use multiple photos; purple paper (recolored) from Iron Orchid Designs; Hand Stamped Alpha by Michelle Coleman at Scrapartist.com; brush that I used to make the vertical design is from MissM "Doodle" brush set; sand is just a photo I took that day; Font: AnotherHand, Jane Austen

I love black and white pictures! I've been studying the scrapbooks bytes tutorials! There is so much to learn! It's almost overwhelming with all the things you can do. Thanks for sharing your pages!

Missing You

We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Just another day ...

Today was a full day. The workers put in our patio door ... sooooooooo excited to have this door!!! The pictures look much less than impressive b/c I didn't take time to play around with them in Photoshop (CSI: Miami is on so I'm glued to the T.V, plus I have a huge load of laundry to fold still). I'm so thrilled to have this door that, good pic or not, I have to share. Like I said, we've never done anything like this before, so every little thing excites me beyond belief :-D They worked on it all day, having to break out a rather large section of the wall, take out a window and door, and move our electrical outlet and porch light. And as you can tell, they have to finish tomorrow. This is the view from the inside: This is the view from the outside: It was strange to have them in my house. But apparently, in deference to my "feminine ears," they decided to refrain from using their Spanish cuss words. That was nice :) Plus our washer is on the blink (has bee...
