just going a little longer...posting....G..T...I...baby!

i have decided to extend my 'everyday project' through the weekend, especially since my daughter will be with us plus we'll be seeing her godmother/one of my bff's this sunday for brunch.  my bff is taking a little vacay from las vegas and visiting fam and friends in seattle.  can hardly wait to see her!  yey-yah!

i was just going to do the project for seven days....but figured...what's another 4-5 days.  i'm actually feeling kind of under the weather today...my throat has been bothering me since sunday.  yuck! but i am thinking that i'm not gonna let it get me down and may just go for a brisk walk with my camera and take a few shots around the neighborhood.  don't feel like jogging today, plus i don't want to put in my contacts.  my trendy glasses today will do....

juicy couture baby!  got a lot of compliments on these even online!  yey-yah!  thx baby boo for helping me choose these!

before i post anything else...just wanted to say...  i so admire and am inspired by this lil beauty:  kaia zautner.  she will always remind me to be grateful for life and to be strong no matter what comes your way. when you have time, please read her blog and her amazing story by clicking on her name above.  she is so beautiful, inside and out!

i have been so behind on posting my LO's on my galleries at two peas in a bucket, scrapbook.com, SisTv, scrapbooksetc, a million memories, and Creating Keepsakes' clubck.  i thought being on vacay i would remember to do so, but to be honest, i've been busy with other stuff that i just completely forgot.  gotta get back into it! get bizy jenn!  at least i've been posting here, right?  give me credit okay?  heehee...

well here's an LO i did a couple of weeks back... my hubz was especially pleased and jumping for joy joy happy happy joy joy...(J/k babez!)...but seriously he was excited and said it was sooo cool.  this is entitled "gti" and the journaling notes:

 a.k.a. "Good Times Incorporated"....defined by my one and only hubby, Jesse.  he loves his ride...such special times. =)

and of course you can not forget to check out the fast *ss smooth gti details:

did a lot of tone on tone, border punching and used some leftover die cuts from my cricut. used american crafts, jenni bowlin and graphic 45 papers on this one.  loved how everything goes so well and managed to keep it "manly."  that car is fast like a m#th@f#$@!!!!  i should know because i tried it a few times on sport mode.  yey-yah!  but don't tell my hubby that...heehee...ooops...oh yeah i forgot i already told him that...with a smile.  wink!

have a good day and until next time!

running behind on schedule

hmmm...i write out my to do lists on either paper or my nifty sticky notes app on my droid...and sh*t!  i'm kinda running behind on my to-do's today...i got so caught up on checking my finances and making a correction that i had emailed someone in error, hopefully that's all resolved.  then i got caught up on uploading and labeling my photos for my "everyday project."  hmmmm?

and now what am i doing?  realized  i haven't blogged all weekend...well i was busy having fun this past weekend.  saturday...my hubz got me some new running shoes from South Sound Running:

did a jog/walk around the lake, heritage park:

did a little bit of people watching and had lunch at chopsticks in olympia, i had the tofu sauteed w/ onions fresh salad bowl and da hubz had the wonton soup, yumm-0! we sat at the window bar, which was cool since i've never sat there before:

did a walmart grocery run:

then home and relaxed and played on our droids and then i looked through our civil wedding album:

hmmm...might have to take a few pix of it and post it here someday.

then sunday....

scrapped an LO for our Hawaii Honeymoon album (will post this one at a later date):

went for a road bike at Chehalis Trail:

we got hungry and had a slice of pizza at Vic's Pizzeria:

took one of my infamous bathroom selfies and saw their chalkboard and made my mark:

then chilled at home, did some house stuff, picked up my daughter, really missed her during the weekend, but so happy she got home last night:

and now it's good morning monday 10:54 a.m. and sh*t....i'm definitely behind on schedule.  oh well.  i'm on vacay anyway....nothing always goes as planned right?

well it's about time to put another LO... i did this for our 2nd wedding.  this is one of my fave photos of us.   i got this printed in 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10.  this one is the 5x7, mostly used red AC cardstock and then used scraps that were used for the wedding decor.  really love how this one turned out....this LO will be the last page in our wedding album:

did a lot of tone on tone deetz:

have a good monday!  tfl!

this one was inspired by my daughter, maiya. it had just turned spring and she had the cutest description of the blooming cherry blossoms...check it out:

the pinky, cottony candy deetz:

here's an LO i did the beginning of april a little after Kelly Purkey's online class, using her sketch #12.  i was inspired one day going thru some paperwork and came across my very old old passport.  instead using myself, my hubby was guest star of this LO. used silver ink and journaling frames stamps to mimic passport stamps, did a lot of tone on tone punched stars as well.  these photos of my hubz were photos he took for his passport and they had him wear that 'funky shirt' (his words).  had to redact some of the id info. isn't my hubz handsome?  check it out...

THIS LAYOUT WAS TEMPORARILY TAKEN OUT...WILL BE REPOSTED....

sorry the photo of this LO isn't all that...i kept taking it in so many angles, lighting, inside, outside and for some reason it just would not do me good.  anyway....here's a few deetz:

have a great friday and weekend.  happy mother's day!  i'm off to go for a jog!

love of family really does matter

just wanted to post one LO of one of my fave collage photos... used a Kelly Purkey sketch from an online class she taught a few weeks back...

have a great saturday!
