St. Thomas = Paradise

We had a blast. I apologize that it took me so long to get photos to you all. It's been stressful the past few weeks, between getting Champ home and then everything else going on. I worked dillegently on finishing some cards for a swap and that's all the scrapping I've been able to get together. I'm hoping this week gives me options for more creative outlooks. But without further stalling...some photos from the trip! The cove boyfriend and I swam at one of our days there where we just chilled on the beach. Driving on the left side, but the cars are still set up with the driver on the left side. On the boat after snorkling in Turtle Cove. We had a fun time snorkling. Really cool to see sea turtles (check that off the list of things to do before...

Home at last

I'm torn between being completely excited that I'm home and depressed because I really didn't want to leave.I don't have pictures yet to share, but I'm hoping to get them loaded up to flickr this evening. I managed to get a few on Myspace, but you don't have to look at that (and you can't if you don't have an account). Check flickr tonight, or tomorrow morning, and expect a blog post later this week (tonight if I'm really moving). It was really a beautiful trip, the pictures don't even scrape the surface.The July C2P kit is absolutely lovely! I did get to play with it briefly before I left, working on a card for a subscriber who just had a baby boy! Between the new kit and having an excuse to use my Cuttlebug airplane die, I was in scrapbooking heaven. I'm hoping to jump more into C2P...

Headed out

Hopefully, this will be my location from Wednesday to Sunday. I'm not sure why I'm doubting this trip so much, I guess it just seems to surreal to be headed to St. Thomas to visit a friend. I hope everyone has a lovely rest of the week and weeke...

Manic Mondays...

With a stack of cards I worked on all weekend (and another stack to get into) I sadly don't have pictures to show yet. But hopefully later this week before I head out to St. Thomas for a much needed, real live vacation. (I know, I travel more than anyone else you know, but so much of it is like one day in the airport, the next day somewhere and another day in the airport. I'm taking time off and taking Champ along. It's going to be magnificent.)Since it is Monday, I wanted to get your day going (even though for most of you it's almost over) with some fun stuff to share. So here's my list of what I'm loving/craving right now.Blogs I <3:-- James, my dear Deccor Fellow, such a great blog. I find his stuff totally inspiring and I'm not even into design (well interior design). But I can...

Sunday Showdown

Welcome to the Sunday Showdown. As part of a weekly post you, my adored readers, get the honor of being exposed to some grand rant that's on my mind. so get geared up and we'll get down to business. Feel free to weigh in on how you feel about subject as well. (Oh I wish I was better with Photoshop...I think this series needs it's own logo!)Ok, I'm not a designer or an artist or much of a neat and tidy person. I'm not a wedding planner either. I will stand here and tell you though, there are certain things you just don't do for a wedding reception.I understand too that it's nice and cheap to have the wedding reception at the church where the wedding was held. In my honest opinion you cut down on the number of interesting events that could happen...

Finally...

I keep starting this post and then things get in the way.I love this shot from Memorial Day weekend. Champ + yummy food = my favorite thingsThe photos I took that afternoon came out so lovely it surprised me. That's what it's like to take photos in the Atlanta summer I suppose.Super happy it's Sunday, even if this Sunday means I'm at the office working. It's nice to be on a normal schedule again. The idea of making dinner with boyfriend (Champ) and his roommate or my roommate in the evening just makes me happy. Or the idea of going to the gym in the evening and seeing a new set of familar faces. I love that I recognize people there. It makes me happy. For some stupid reason I honestly love that place. I need to photograph it.Here's shots from...
