the bad news is that i am still only halfway through that last list i posted. the good news is i have reversed the no mojo trend and tackled all the scrappies! this is one i just finished today for the very first challenge up at cartwheels in my mind. have you been there yet? it's a new ezine that is the brainchild of my colorful, creative, and fun friend cheryl. i am enjoying it a great deal.
dear staci played in the challenge with me and wants me to post my journaling here so she can read it, so here it is . . . my mom named me after doris laquire, one of her best friends. i grew up knowing my name belonged to an older generation, but it didn't bother me. i've never really been the trendy type. i did find it humorous that my name was a popular one for the chicken buses in honduras. i saw my name emblazoned in bright colors on many of the buses there and it always got a good laugh out of me to see it. since i had the little guy i have finally gotten a popular name. the toddler crowd always assumes i am "dora" and so think my name is way cool. it's kinda fun to be cool amongst the toddler crowd. actually the nickname is rather fitting as i am a bit of an explorer myself.
now on to the winners! email me with your mailing addresses at [email protected] and i will get some prizes in the mail! (luckily the post office is still on my to do list).
the winners are:
- amy coose
- kathy r
- rita timmons
- charmi
- karen lee
come back tomorrow for another scrappy share! and then another giveaway saturday! :)
yay! thx for posting the journaling. Very cool and so sweet that your mom named you after one of her best friends, love that! and btw, if you'd just start watching gabba, you could easily become even MORE popular amongst the younger crowd! ;-)
