FOR TODAY… February 15 2010

Outside my window… SUN! real honest to goodness SUN!!! I totally forgot how nice it could be!

I am thinking… about taking a trip to see my Mom.

I am thankful for… the birth of Henry Cooper!

I am wearing… jeans, penny loafers, black polo shirt, teal cardigan

I am remembering… I need to pick up meds on the way home.

I am going… to go home and upload pics of Perrin. Ive been such a slacker!

I am currently reading… I just finished Tithe by Holly Black. I really enjoyed it and look forward on starting on Valiant tonight.

I am hoping… that my foot feels well enough to Zumba tomorrow.

On my mind… finishing Jess’ birthday “sign”

Noticing that… If I eat regular food I gain weight L stupid portion control (or lack there of)

Pondering these words… KIM ARRIVES THURSDAY!!!

From the kitchen… back to pre packaged diet food for me.

Around the house… my last week of “staycation” so as much scrapping as I can manage.

One of my favorite things… My orange elvis bear P got me for Valentines Day

From my picture journal…

We got screwed again as they always ct away for a commercial when it's our turn to march into the stadium. They didn't even show the actual flag so I had Perrin stand in :)

For once I actually started with sketch 1 (I usually just start with whatever moves me), it just happened that I had the perfect photos for this sketch. (Don't worry I did sketch #9 next. lol)

My Take:

Supplies: Bazzill Swiss dot CS, Crate Paper & Jenni Bowlin PP, Sass paper strips, Basic Grey letters and American crafts thickers, Creative Imagination journaling sticker, Cosmo Cricket velvet yellow ribbon.

Sorry for the crooked photo.

ok so I am a little late in posting this but I just got started the other day. I almost always use a sketch or someone elses layouts as a jumping off point for my own scrapbooking. Sometimes it's a straight up scrap-lift- sometimes its inspired by and sometimes it looks nothing at all like what I started with. lol

I was sooo excited that Jessica*Bree was doing a whole sketch class. 10 wonderful sketches to get my creative juices flowing! Im hoping to get them all done this month as i am on a roll!
