Combining Blogs

Hi All---This is to let you know that I have decided to combine my two blogs. I have trouble trying to keep up with both and since I expect my life to become more hectic and not less as I try to expand my business, I have decided that this is one way to lighten my work load and my stress. If you don't already follow the other blog you can find it at www.No Time2Scarpbook.blogspot.com.

See you there!

Project 365

Yes---I am way behind again. Life got crazy, plus I got an incredible opportunity to go out of town for a scrapping event. I have been posting there every day, so if you are actually interested in what I may be doing, you can check the No Time 2 Scrap blog.

Project 365 Day 116

Today's picture is of the layout I designed for my August Calendar Class. I was working on putting another one together at the crop tonight. I have had some requests so I am offering this for sale outside of the calendar class. The information is on the No Time 2 Scrap blog if you are interested.

Project 365 Day 115

My picture for today is of my newest kit designed because of the recent Hot August Night event here in town. I must be truthful and tell you that this kit makes me yawn. My only excuse is that I really wasn't feeling well when I was designing it. Hopefully someone will be able to add some cool pictures to it and perk it up. In the meantime, I'm stifling yet another yawn. I've got to just stop looking at it.

Project 365 Day 114

I spent the better part of today recuperating. I watched some episodes of Mad Men while relaxing on the couch. I just love this show. Totally hooked on it, but don't give me any hints. I'm behind. I learned of it late and have been catching up by renting them. I was through season two and could go no farther. Season three wasn't out yet and I couldn't watch season four without watching three. My friend Cheryl to the rescue! She also loves the show and buys it. As soon as season three arrived she rushed it over to me. Now I can catch up and then watch the season four episodes I've been taping. Can't wait! I want to catch up, and yet I hate to. I went through the same experience wit 24. Discovered it late, rented it and got totally hooked. Michael and I literally could not go to bed at night until we had exhausted everything we could watch. We caught up quickly. The thing is, you get used to being able to run to Blockbuster to get your next fix, and then when you catch up, you actually have to wait a week or more to see the next episode. Torture! We're so silly aren't we? Anyway, aside from making it to church, Mad Men is about all I accomplished today, so there's your picture.

Project 365 Day 113

Well, I haven't been feeling well for the past week. I've been afraid I had an infection and turns out I was right. Today it kicked in to such an extent that it landed me in the Emergency Room. I'm back home now with two prescriptions to make me feel better. Let's hope it goes away. I don't have time to fiddle around feeling poorly!

Project 365 Day 112

Yesterday, Tracey spent the day here scrapping with me and she came back today. It was so nice having her here, we both got quite a bit done, and we both are headed to Scrapper's Paradise tomorrow to di it again. This evening Matilda came over for a while. It is so funny! Every time she comes over (and I do mean EVERY time) she always ends up watching a movie and it is ALWAYS the same one---Horton Hears a Who. The only time she watches something else is if she watches a second movie after first watching Horton. She just giggles and giggles at it every time too. Kids are so funny. With Megan it was Mary Poppins. At Matilda's age she watched that movie a minimum of two times a day, sometimes more. She just couldn't get enough of it.

Project 365 Day 111

I have for quite a while been longing to have a Travelocity gnome for my yard. At Calendar Class last night, my friend Tracey presented me with this sweet little guy. She found him at the Roseville auction over the weekend and he is, for right now, nestled in my strawberries. I have to think hard to decide where his permanent home will be.

Thanks Tracey! You are so good to me!

Project 365 Day 110

Today is filled with cleaning house and catching up. For my picture today I just have to post a picture of my clever grand daughter's way of baking some cupcakes in her little kitchen oven. Adorable! Just Adorable!

(Yes, I know some of you who are friends with me on Facebook will end up seeing this picture twice, but it's so cute that I think it's okay!)

Project 365 Day 108 and 109

Still didn't feel too well on Monday, but managed to spend the day preparing for my Calendar class and then taught it on Tuesday. Also managed on Tuesday to give Peek-A-Boo a much needed hair cut and bath. She's looking much better.

Project 365 Day 107

Sunday I was supposed to go on an easier hike with the kids, but I barely slept at all the night before and really wasn't feeling well at all. Just as soon as the kids woke up, I threw my stuff in the car and headed home. I was home by 11am and went to bed. I got myself up in time to go to church and that was my day. Pretty exciting stuff, but at least I didn't have to miss church.

Project 365 Day 106

The next day camping I really didn't feel to well. The kids all went off camping and I stayed behind in the campground with Peek-A-Boo and Matilda. I read and played with her until the kids returned. I was feeling pretty poorly, but joined in a card game with them. While we were playing, two deer wandered in right next to our camp site and I got a couple of photos. I just think they are so beautiful!

Project 365 Day 100 through 105

Okay, there's my huge gap of skipped days. I can tell you that nothing noteworthy happened to report, so I will pick up on Day 105, Friday, when I left to go camping for the weekend with my kids. We went to Manzanita Lake in Lassen National Forest. We didn't get there until 9 or 9:30 at night so the main thing I can report is that my sleeping arrangements did not work out well for me. I slept in my car to avoid having to pay for an additional site and it DID NOT work out well. I slept fitfully that first night, spending much of the time awake and reading. This picture was taken out of my car window as I laid awake inside.

Project 365---Day 97, 98, 99

Okay---My computer stopped working again and it finally got to me. I just gave up on my project for a bit until I solved the problem. It was back to Best Buy AGAIN. Turns out I needed a new power cord, so I bought it and got my computer back up and running, but by that time I was very behind on Project 365 and had not been faithful to taking even imaginary pictures. I suppose I should give up, but I'm going to post the only pics I took during that time and pick it back up. I'm bound and determined to make this work!

The last post I got in was on July 28th. On the next day I cleaned up my little yard and hosted a BBQ at my house to say good-bye to Micheal's daughter Rochelle and her husband who were moving to Washington. There were so many people here and so many dogs that it was chaotic enough that I did not think to take one single picture.

The next morning I was up bright and early to host a scrapbooking yard sale. Some of you came and shopped with us and got some bargains. Be watching---There will be another one coming up.

When the yard sale was over and cleaned up Tracey and I joined Megan, Mikey and a lot of his family to attend a Bingo tournament at the Peppermill. None of us won anything--darn it, but it was fun. One lady won the biggest prize of $10,000 all by herself. Can you imagine!
