Making a list and checking it twice!

Why does it always seem like there is so much to do? I still have shopping to do that we have put off until we get to Phx so we didn't have to ship a bunch of stuff out there. I did do some online shopping and got a few things taken care of. Now I am trying to make sure we have all the clothes clean, ski stuff together, etc. etc. etc. I did stop long enough to do a new page last night. It is some of our Hawaii pics from 2007. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

Where are you?

I got an email from my blog (aka Liz) today asking where I have been. Well, I can't really say that anything in particular has been keeping me from posting. I have been working on more stuff around the house again, painting more trim work, putting out some decorations..etc I haven't done many scrapbook layout either, so my blog shouldn't be getting jealous of my Photoshop program either. I have done a tutorial or two and I did one layout, but that is about all. So, like I said, there isn't really any thing I can point to that explains why I have neglected my blog recently. I guess it is just one of those things that happens! ;)

I will post the one page I have done since I last posted....

Scrapping Fool!

ok..here are 2 more layouts that I completed and had not posted yet. I got a new kit from the designer today so I will be doing something with it soon.

Home Alone..

Well not really. Roger, Chris, Cameron, Justin (friend of Chris') and Jim left this afternoon to go pheasant hunting in Lubbock. Chris got one last year that we got mounted and it is now hanging on the wall in Roger's study next to Josh's deer. This is the 3rd time that the guys have made this trip. Papa Eddie was supposed to join them but he ended up getting sick and Oklahoma over Thanksgiving and had to bow out of attending. Josh was planning to go but ended up needing to work so he is here with me and Kylie. I don't think the trip is as much about getting anything as it is about just hanging out and spending quality time together. I know that is what Papa Eddie was looking forward to. He enjoyed the trip a lot last year.

Liz sent me a Dec. daily photo challenge and I have not been very good at keeping up with it, so I have to get on the ball with that one. I completed two more Christmas 2007 layouts today! At this rate I should be all caught up, uhmmm sometime in 2011! ;)

Christmas Wonder

I was contacted by a designer to be on her Creative Team. Basically this means I will get a free set of her kits and in exchange I will create a layout using it to be posted as a sample of what can be done with her kit. Here is what I created with her newest christmas kit. I bet Liz likes this LO!

Not much happening...

I don't really have a lot to post about. Roger made it home safe and sound last night and his meeting went really well. They have created a new department under him and added a good number of headcount. This is really good for him because they were struggling to keep up with not enough people to do it with and part of what he was responsible for was under someone else's control and that caused issues. It will now be consolidated under him, so he is happy.

Tennis has started back and I am now in Learn and Play 1. We drill for 45 mins and then play doubles for 45 mins. I am really trying to focus on dropping a few more pounds before the holidays so this should help!

I got one more page done..which is good since I am wanting to give some of them as a christmas gift. Thats all for now!

Know who your friends are...

It is important to know who your friends are...I have always thought I was Liz's favorite SIL. She has always been super helpful when I start something she has already had experience in. So I have really been trying to return the favor and let her know when I find out about anything new she might not know about.

But she has been holding out on me! I found out about a really cool time saving extraction tool last night, so the first thing I did was drop Liz an email to make sure she was well informed. I wake up this morning to an email that says...Oh, yea..I use it already. Hello...friend! Did you not think I was worthy to know about this? Just think of all the time it would have saved me! Now I see how you are....
