Update

Anybody remember this layout from a few years ago??

Well I thought it was time for an update...

Supplies: Patterned paper, stickers (Little Yellow Bicyle), Brads (American Crafts)

Journaling reads:

I did a layout in 2006 titled "Daddy's Little Girl" about Shada & Lee. I wrote on the layout about how Shada cowers if Lee disciplines her but she basically ignores me if I try. She greets him energetically at the door but she might not know I exist. I mentioned how she comes a running if he calls her but she plays deaf with me. Since 4 years have passed since that previous layout, I figure it is time for an update. So here's the update: there is no update! Refer back to previous layout. My status has not changed & Shada is still very much her Daddy's little girl. Maybe things will eventually change...ha!
as of 2010

My crazy weekend was productive at least.

Got some cute pictures with Mom...

...and a much needed new headshot {see above on right}!

{thank you Carolyn!!}

And of course I scrapbooked!

Supplies: Cardstock (Bazzill), Patterned paper (Sassafras), Stickers (Sassafras), Bling (KI Memories), Glitter alphas (Making Memories), Orange Thickers (American Crafts)

I did that one pretty late at night & I was bordering on delirious, so I would like a little credit for my mad poetry skills!
There are 2 rhymes on that page-can you find them??

I made alot more stuff this weekend.

But what fun would it be if I showed everything all at once!??

Plus I've got a bit of a scrapbooking hangover & my eyes are starting to cross from self-induced sleep deprivation.

I will be much better after a good night of sleep!

crazy weekend!!

10 years ago "crazy weekend" would have meant something entirely different.

Now it means a couple of days off,

a road trip with Mom,

meeting up with friends,

making new ones,

scrapbooking until the wee hours of the morning,

taking pictures,

getting some education about how to fight off dogs & treat spider bites

{neither actually happened but if they do, i am ready!},

and concluding that pineapple-upside-down cake is in fact a fruit & cannot be counted into my daily dessert total.

And the weekend is not over so it might get crazier!

I hope yours is just as fun!
