in case you get bored reading my meanderings i wanted to mention up front . . . i have 3 pgs from annie's kit last month and another from this month plus a class sample all almost ready to post . . . so check back in soon . . . yea soon . . . i promise! :D
****************************************************************************************
i really do need to get back on track with the blogging thing . . . sigh . . . life is such a juggling act and i just can't seem to keep all my bean bags up in the air at one time . . . always having to stop and pick up the ones that fall . . . (i did learn to juggle for real back in my twenty something's when i had time for frivolities . . . but even then i could only do three bean bags and very slowly . . . i even hand sewed four beanbags for myself . . . time . . . rambling . . . ) . . . so what all have i been juggling lately? good question . . . i don't feel like this has been a very productive weekend . . . maybe if i list my "accomplishments" i'll realize i've gotten more done than i think? let's see . . .
friday after work i logged 5 miles on the treadmill at the ymca while watching oprah . . . then took the gman to soccer practice . . . then came home and got the kitchen clean and the scrappy table under control . . . not too bad . . .
saturday i took the gman to his soccer game . . . then took him to dq (in mt. juliet of course!) for lunch . . . what else? hmmmmmmmmm . . . i did wash the couch cushions . . . ok . . . so looks like saturday was a dud . . .
sunday (today) mcd's hotcakes for breakfast (did i mention i'm supposed to be on a diet), made it to church, wendy's for lunch (i know! i know! the diet! but i did keep it down to a salad and half a frosty), logged 4 miles at the ymca (burning off the guilt), have the laundry almost done, just finished listing 15 items on ebay, and blogging! don't forget the blogging! . . . so far sunday's looking pretty good . . . and a couple hours left to squeeze in a little more productivity . . . so must get back to work . . .
leaving you with some pictures though . . . picture book blogging . . . here are my september poppy ink layouts . . . i REALLY enjoyed the kit this month . . . not that i don't always, but it was just a really good match for me and i think it shows . . . if you get a chance, swing by the site . . . www.poppyink.com . . . having an anniversary celebration there so lots of fun stuff to see and participate in . . .
I LOVE the layouts! They are so beautiful!

oooooo oh Doris -- love love love these layouts...you aren't kiddin' -- you would think that kit was MADE for you -- but we all know that you could take ANY kit and make beautimous layouts. Way to go girl on all that exercise...so very proud of you. Just another way you inspire me! *smile* Miss you -- let's have a scrappy night sometime soon.

love the layouts! that school one is awesome! i think it helps sometimes to list what accomplished ... too easy to feel like we did nothing when in fact we really did do a lot!

OOOKKKAAAYYY..so how is it that when I had the first-hand scoop on the blog update that I am the SIXTH person to post a comment? Didn't you JUST do this??!! Well, at least I am not some crazy stalker like the others (haha - you know who you are!)!
Seriously though, you have to give yourself credit for also watching my two little munchkins tonight while getting all of this stuff done! You rock!
Beautiful layouts by the way...
:)

Once again, I look at these LO's and think "I can do that" and then...reality. you are so talented at making things look easy and natural. Can I get the pics of the DQ lo so I can scrap lift exactly?

Thanks for the E-Bay lesson:) I made $26.00!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy the fall break.
