Monday...no Tuesday.

I have a really tough time with Monday holidays. It throughs my entire week off. I have to really try and remember today that it's Tuesday and that today we have dance...today I have a PTA meeting...today, Josh goes to Scouts to get sign ups for his final (hopefully) work day for his Eagle Scout project this weekend. It is NOT Monday!!

OK...I've got that off my chest.

No gym this morning...I really wanted to go, but I really don't have much time at home today. (see above) I dropped Emily off at school and went to vote. (Florida Primary today) Came home, threw a load of clothes in the washer and am currently scanning stuff to put on Ebay. I'm sick and tired of talking about it. Time to get this stuff outta here. Mainly scrapbook stuff, but a few other things too.

It's DT upload time again at Scrapforums. We worked with Holly McCaig stuff this month for digi stuff...and another digi sponsor too...watch for that later this week. Holly has some of the yummiest digi stuff. She's got the right colors, the right amount of "grunge"...and the right amount of elements to work with too. My very first digi layout was actually done using one of Holly's earlier kits. And now, almost TWO YEARS later (wow), I'm working with her goodies again! These are the two layouts that I've done for her this time. (so far).

Today we're uploading the stuff that we did with the "I'm A Scrapaholic" kit. I'll share it tomorrow...or you can check it out in the Scrapforums gallery a little later. I want to get this stuff on Ebay before I upload them.

And with this...I'm on my way to Ebay...

Singalong, ebay and just stuff.

Last night, we went to one of the Disney Hotels to celebrate my SIL's 50th Birthday. We saw Bob Jackson perform his funny piano singalong stuff and had a great time. Bob and Lynn had been trying to get us there to watch him for a long time and this time, since it was Lynn's birthday, we felt that we needed to go. Lynn had a few of her closest friends and family there. Josh and Emily didn't want to go but once we were there, I think they had a great time. Emily enjoyed singing with me and I think Josh enjoyed himself too, even though he might not want to admit it.

For Lynn's birthday, I made this for her...it was actually a recipe book that I picked up from the dollar bins at Target. I just added some of the awesome DT stuff from this month's kit sponsor and turned it into a personalized recipe holder for her. I punched holes in 4x6 index cards and placed them inside. The colors in this picture are actually WAYYYY off...there are more greens in here than blues/purples. Not sure why the picture turned out like this.

I've spent some time today list stuff on Ebay...FINALLY!!!! I've got a ton of stuff that I want to get rid of but don't just want to put it in a garage sale or take it to Goodwill or someplace similar. I've been trying to get the motivation to list this stuff and finally started it today. I think I've only listed 5 items so far...all in the scrapbooking category...but there is a TON more to list!! Wish me luck...I really want to keep this going and get it done! Oh, and if you're interested in checking out what I'm listing, just click here...my ebay listings.

Don't forget to check out the fun challenges over at Scrapforums. And also, check out the stuff going on over at The Shaker Box too. Between those two sites...you're bound to find some inspiration to get ya scrapping!!!

Till next time...

A kick in the pants to get you scrapping!!

I've started a new challenge thread over at Scrapforums. And there's a RAK involved too...so get on over there and check it out. This link right here will get you right into that thread...but don't stop there. Check us out...you might want to just kick up your feet and join us for a while.

Today I've been entering registration stuff for Crew and I even went to the gym too. I've met someone new...a mom of a little guy in Em's class. They just moved here from the DC area. (close to my hometown neck of the woods) She and I have met at the gym twice this week. It sure has been nice to have someone to workout with. She might just be the kick in the butt I need to get to the gym regularly. Wish me luck!!!

No big plans for the long holiday weekend here. We're going to my SIL's b-day celebration I think...but that's about it. Alex might have to work on Monday...that stinks...but he'll get used to this new position eventually and that'll change. (I hope)

Off to get some laundry done and the scraproom cleaned up a bit. I've got another challenge that I want to post today too. So be on the lookout!!

Edited to add:
I just put up the new Friday Technique Challenge at Scrapforums. Come over and join us and get yourself entered for a fun prize at the end of the month!
