Forgiveness Friday and a Little Freebie

Yes, I am seeking forgiveness. I haven't been around for a few days, I haven't forgotten my vows, it's just that my computer and Verizon haven't been very co-operative. I would go into the entire tale of the past few days but, do you really care? I'm sure ya'll have your own stories of bad service and impossible situations. Anyway, I am back. YaY!

I did get some LOs finished. This one, for example, which was posted at DDF..



The others, 3 more, I haven't posted yet so I'll wait before showing them.

I've continued with Project 365. Here are a few photos.
















I love Valentine's Day, it's my definitely favorite holiday. This is my first year scrappin' the day and I can hardly wait. I love the hearts, the chocolate, the cards, the flowers, the sweet little gifts. I love it all. So, because I love this special day so much, I'm starting on it now and I made something especially with you in mind. ( =

Too Cold Thursday

Here it is two days later and the frickin' postperson has yet to deliver my camera. I am seriously thinking about 'going postal' all over his ass. All I want is my camera. I have been patient. Very patient, for me anyway, and now it's time to hand over my goodies. I even called the post office yesterday after the post person once again left a 'tried to deliver' notice when I know for a frickin' fact he did not. That's what is annoying me the most about this situation, he can't lift his skinny butt out of his seat to walk over here and ring the bell. Hell, he can even sit in his vehicle honking his horn for all I care and I'll waddle my fat ass to him. I JUST WANT MY CAMERA!!

Enough whining for ya?

I just finished up the LO I was working on. How long does it take you to design a page from start to finish? I usually take a few hours. Since I'm taken up scrappin' I've been trying to design my own kits. It's fun and it allows me to feel a sense of creative accomplishment but it does take me awhile. Here's my page called "Trees"..

Your Snow Test Says You're Independent

You feel like something good will happen to you eventually, but not soon. You love to work, especially when work is physical. You do well in any job, as long as you're not stuck in an office. You are an independent, individualistic person. You thrive when you're doing your own thing. Your biggest worry in life is your family. You stay up at night thinking about them. When it comes time to relax, you always go the extra mile. You take relaxing as seriously as anything else in life.

The Snow Test

WTH Wednesday.

It is soooooooooooooo cold here! 38-ish degrees, believe me, that is cold for south Cali. If I didn't have things to do today, I would take my chilly butt back to bed. But, alas, I can not. I'm waiting for the mailperson to deliver my camera. The little shit (pardon my potty mouth) simple dropped a 'we missed you' notice in my box yesterday without even bothering to come to the door. I have been so anxiously awaiting this package and here it was within 25 feet of me without me even getting a chance to get my hands on it. How annoying is that? But I'll show him/her, I'm going to be on the look out this morning. No way I'm going to let it get away another day.

I don't know if ya'll are familiar with **Wacom Pen Scrappers**, they hold a contest for a Bamboo and I entered the contest. YaY me!! I'm always afraid to enter anything or even to join a new forum because I just don't think my pages are good enough. Long psychological issue for another time. But, this year one of my 'can do's' (borrowed the term from Kate Hudson) is to be braver, have more confidence, try new things and, sometimes, just leap. Okay, so maybe that's actually 4 things, perhaps I should add 'study math' to the list. So, if you have a moment, pop over to 'My Page'. If you do, I promise to repay the vote when you need one. If you do it every single day until January 31st, I pledge my undying affection. ( =

Here is the page I submitted..



and this is the LO I finished for a scraplift at DFF..



I'm not overly happy with them. I've been trying something new, filling the page whereas I usually scrap very simply. I'm trying to do things differently to see if I like them. Not so sure. Ya never know unless you try, right?

Well, I'm off to get a few things done.
Ciao.

Monday

Happy Monday!
Hope ya'll had a wonderful weekend. Mine was definitely full and a bit emotional. I spend Saturday with my relatives, which is always fun but also immensely draining. Sunday was grocery shopping then helping Steven pack. He left this morning for Riverside county where he'll be working as a substitute teacher for awhile. I know it will be so much better for him but I miss him already. He's the baby and it's so hard to let him go. Such is the life of a mom.

Tomorrow my camera should be here and I am SO EXCITED!!! I can hardly wait. I want to join in on the 365 days of photos but my little Pentax sucks. The photos turn out so horrible, I am so hoping it's not me. Keep your fingers crossed but, if it is me, there's no where to go but up.

Here are the few pics I have taken..


This is my aunt's dog Dollie. We had a great time playing together.



This was our Christmas fire.



Random palm tree



And another one. I love trees.

And this is the LO I made from a couple of the photos..



Time to toss a little dinner in the oven.

Resolutions, Anyone?

Here it is the third day of this brand new year and I have yet to make any type of list whatsoever. Not that I ever make resolutions, I don't, I prefer to make a 'things I want to do this year' list. Such as..

1. Visit New York during the Christmas season
2. Go see John Mayer in concert
3. Start a scrapbook design business
4. Learn a little French
5. Read at least 50 books

I'd rather have a 'things to do' list than a 'what not to do' list. It's much more fun.

Okie dokie, I'm out of here for awhile. I get to spend the day with my father and my relatives on that side. Lucky me. I tried to get at least one of the folks from here to accompany me but no way. I'm on my own. Oh well..

Here's the LO I finished this morning..



Have a brillant day.
