District Champion!!!
Yesterday was Districts for track & field. The top 3 javelin throwers move on to State...next week. Shelby had an 'ok' start. She threw 117 something...and then 112 something. Which put her in 3rd place. Yikes. Then.........this: Wooohoooo! That throw put her in first place! :) And the...
Duh. It's GIBBS.

That's what Ian said in the car yesterday. woohoo! It's Tuesday! All I can say is... had better not be dead or maimed. Her either. We are just the slightest bit obsessed with NCIS at our house. Did I tell you about the NCIS Clue game the kids and I made up awhile back? We printed off...

Don't say it.....Don't say it!!
I hosted Bunco at my house last night. I sort of forgot that it would coincide with NCIS. I know. I KNOW. I know that Tony & Ziva are ok. But I'm hearing disturbing hints of things to come. I'll watch last night's episode tonight... Speaking of Bunco.... One of the gals in our group has a da...
I KNOW!!!! I kept saying to Iz..."Where is Emma...Where is Emma...she's lurking around somewhere"
Did not see that ending coming!!! Ca-razy!!!

Finale next week! Can't wait. Joe is off the rails...lost control. I laughed so hard when Claire stabbed him again with a fork, of all things!

A few things...
1. More baseball. Way to go Pirates! They won their game last night... Not sure why this boy is batting with his batting gloves in his back pocket. He is concentrating though. Love it. :) 2. Padilla Bay. All day. Today. It's Ian's 4th grade field trip, and we're going to the Padilla Bay...
Thanks Kelli :) You're so sweet!

Project Life - Week 13 :)
Here is last week...or as I call it, the week of the javelin. (Somehow, about 90% of my pictures were of Shelby throwing. Because I'm so balanced like that. I really do have a son at home. I just didn't take one single picture of him last week. Ugh.) The left side: I have a harder ti...

A blessed Good Friday to you...and happy Easter weekend! We are headed to my brother's house on Sunday for brunch, an egg hunt...and to celebrate my Mom's (87th...shhhh!) birthday. :) From yesterday's track meet: Shelby & Shauna. Shauna is just the most awesome mentor. Shelby holds the cur...

a few fun things...
1. Some digi stuff... from The Lilypad (and it's half off!): These look fun for $1.50 :) These would be fun on some journaling cards...$2.50 Thinking about these... $2.00 2. Bunco last night. Which is always fun...and I never think to bring my camera. Duh. Next month is at my house...
Ha! I do the same thing Gloria! I get so distracted. :) I'm a big lister though...so it helps me focus if I can cross something off my list.

Costco will print 12x12...so in Photoshop I put 2 6x12 pictures on one page. Then I cut the 6x12 photos in half for 6x6 :) I do the same thing for 3x4 photos...I put two of them on a 4x6 template in Photoshop.

Thank you! :) I use Photoshop (CS5.1) to design my journaling cards. And I use a combination of Becky Higgins page protectors (http://www.amazon.com/Photo-Pocket-Pages-Design-F/dp/B005TYGI8A/ref=pd_rhf_dp_p_t_2_WZSA) and We R Memory Keepers (got mine at Michaels) :)

the vacation list book is coming out. T- 5 days and counting...
Yes I have a vacation list notebook. It's a notebook. With lists of vacation stuff inside. I'm extremely nerdy that way. Iz asked me a couple of nights ago if I'd started making lists yet. (He knows me so well.) And I hadn't. GASP. I'm going to remedy that today. (Providing I can find my not...
Thanks Gloria...Unfortunately, I don't know how to do those cool tutorials with screen shots...or better yet, the video type with the photoshop screen. And typing it all out would take forever, and be confusing, I think. :(
I highly...HIGHLY recommend Jessica Sprague's Subway Art class. Super cheap, and you come away with not only learning how to do subway art...but a good basic understanding of layers and text boxes. :)

Sorry for the wonky pictures. The spot I usually use currently has my stove sitting on it. The good news is...the floor guys were able to come a day earlier and rip all the sub floor out. So hopefully today they can get the new sub floor in...and then new vinyl. Woohoo! I never thought I'd mi...
I agree! I didn't see Rene at all...and I liked Anne's dress until she got up...even Belle commented 'she needs a bra mom!'
I know $4 is more than I usually pay for cleaner stuff...but this is worth it, I promise! And you can refill it :)

1. What the heck is wrong with Kristen Stewart? I get it. Her schtick is bored & rude. It's her THANG. But really, it's the OSCARS. Could she maybe drum up the tiniest bit of personality to present an award? I can't stand her voice. Ugh. I didn't watch much. (Spoilers coming....) I saw...

I was supposed to have a new kitchen floor yesterday. But when the guy pulled up the old vinyl, there was extensive water damage and mold...from a leak that had been fixed awhile ago. We just had NO idea it had been going on for that long, or that it had spread. :( Soooooo, no new kitchen floo...
