Hard to believe it’s already Thursday, not to mention that it’s nearly February. Where does the time go? I feel as if I open my eyes on Monday morning and the next thing I know, I’m going to bed on Sunday night. Zoom zoom.
Also, I can’t believe I haven’t blogged since Sunday. Wow, I really am off my game this week. I’ve been working on a couple of kits I want to release on February 1st and it seems I become a tad preoccupied in the whole creation process. I love it. I love watching images come together; by putting a circle here and a few more there a flower appears. I love paying with the colors. Before I know it, hours have passed. The thing is, I’m still so new at all this it takes me a very long time to complete a kit. Weeks. How long does it take for you to complete a kit? How do you decide what you want in the kit? I can’t believe it’s been 4 days since I’ve posted. Zoom zoom zoom
Bitter is the New Black by Jen Lancaster that’s the book I picked up Sunday while I was gritting my teeth at Costco. When I first started reading it I wasn’t all that taken. The dialogue between characters seemed juvenile to me. But once I ventured further into the meat of the story, it becomes much better. The protagonist (Jen) has a bit of a bite to her but it’s her snobby attitude that endears her to me. Now, promise you won’t tell a soul, but I suppose I was somewhat like her once upon a time. Snotty, sarcastic, cynical and definitely mocking. I love her wit, it has me LOL quite often. If you’re in the market for something little and amusing, pick it up.
Here are my latest layouts.

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand
I love that song.
Happy Sunday.
What an amazingly glorious day it is here in SoCal. The sun is shining, warming us up against the gently cool ocean breeze keeping us cool. I just love the day after a rain storm. The sky is a beautiful blue filled with white cotton candy clouds.
The hills have come alive in gorgeous shades of green.
This is the ideal afternoon to go picnicking, stroll along the beach, read a book by the pool or even simply sit on the front porch drinking a glass of strawberry lemonade listening to a little John Mayer. Now that’s how I would have liked to have spent my day, instead, I did my grocery shopping. I’ve always done my shopping on Sundays; as far back as I can remember. I hit Ralphs or Vons, Target, Costco and, sometimes, even Michaels. We’d do breakfast or lunch and then stock up for the week. So, today, we headed out for our weekly task, as usual, as did a few hundred other people. Vons was a tad more busy than normal but Costco, Oh. My. Gosh! Complete and total zoo.
I could kick my own ass for going there on a Sunday, but it’s never been this bad before, not even at Christmas. Yuck. We finally finished squeezing in here and oozing out there, then grabbed some Jack-In-The-Box (yes, I know it’s crap food but it’s yum crap food) and headed home where I curled up under my covers (after the provisions had been packed away) with Pooder and my new Scrapbooks, Etc. magazine. Perfect way to end a busy morning.
I haven’t been scrappin’ much the past two days because I’ve been working on a couple Valentine kits. Perhaps I’ve mentioned this before, I LOVE Valentine’s Day. Love it. I love Godiva’s chocolates and Stargazers and cute cards with sweet sayings. Needless to say, I’m having a hard time dragging myself away from pink and purple and red hearts. I’ll be giving pieces of it away off and on until the 14th. I just love Valentine’s Day.
I’ll be back with today’s freebie.
Here’s a few of today’s (and yesterday’s) photos.
Okies, here's a goodie for you. I love the look of glitter so I fixed up a few blingies.

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. ( =
