‘Lil of this and that…
Well, it’s no secret I love to scrap… I’ve been called the Energizer Scrapper, actually. This past week I’ve had a few layouts receive recognition. This layout of my son was picked for layout of the day on the 12th. I liked it because my husband did the journaling for it. Then on the 13th, this layout of my daughter was the layout of the day. I was doin’ good - two days in a row! A few days later, this layout won a layout pick of the month for July and won me a gift certificate for free scrap goodies! Yay! I hope that makes Linda happy since I try my best to showcase her work wonderfully and all three of those are using her designs.
I have one more toot! Last night, I was working with a new release called Summer Cottage (if you’re a scrapper, you may love to know the kit is free with a $5 ’till the 25th) for Sherri Tierney. I just fell in love with my layouts using it. When I woke up this AM and saw someone else fell in love with ‘em, too… as one of the two made layout of the day at GottaPixel. Woot! That made me smile.
Anyway… enough of that. I just felt like sharin’ and didn’t really have anything worthy to say otherwise…
I woke up feelin’ like crap this AM… and have a major headache. Ugh. I was going to go to the doctor today just for a follow-up… but well, I didn’t go. No big deal really… there isn’t anything he can do for me…they just wanted me to follow-up. So… maybe I’ll go follow-up later if I have no changes. One week has past and I’m no different… so we’ll see how I am end of this week.
Lastly, we may be gettin’ some cows on the farm. Isn’t that a hoot? My Dad went (or is going) to check on some today… I love cows. We haven’t had cows on the farm since my parents stopped dairy farming like 20 years ago. My kids are really lookin’ forward to getting some.
We’ve had a friend staying with us durin’ the week for a few weeks… so that means the house needs to be picked up (cleaned, not lifted) because a friend will be here later. Plus, I gotta find some lunch or something. I just thought I’d actually post… I can’t believe how much I’ve slacked in bloggin’ this year. Wow. I suppose that’s enough hoopla for today. Rambled and all.
Toodles.

Yeah, I saw your awesome LO this morning in the daily newsletter from Gotta Pixel. I love all your LO’s, but you know that.
I try really hard to win something, but I never do *sigh*…Well, I just have to practice, I guess. I do love the Summer Cottage material - beautiful, soft colors. I might have to get. Although, I said that I will wait to purchase more stuff *grin*…
I am so sorry to hear that you are no different than last week. I do pray daily for you, my friend…
You did make me laugh though “cleaned, not lifted”…well at least you still have your humor - that is a good thing.
(((hugs)))

Don’t you think you should have gone for your check-up? Especially if you had a major headache?!! You make sure you’re taking proper care of yourself, now, girl!
Those cows won’t be able to look after themselves if you’re struck down poorly.

Hi, there. I’m a newpaper designer/blogger in Knoxville, Tenn.
I LOVE your layouts. Do you do them on the computer or do you actually cut everyting out with scissors and all that? Apologies for my ignorance.

I’m going to highlight the one of your son on my blog. It’s just so cool! Being a newpaper designer, I love great layouts, but refuse to do scrapebooking digitally because I do do much on the computer at work all day.

I just heard about your trip to the hospital. I am so sorry to hear about that!
Congrats on the scrapbook pages! I love them!

I have not updated my blog for about a month and a half now, but I just got on and came to your site, to see how the photo hunt was going and saw that you have bells palsy. I had bells palsy about 21 years ago, and I too thought I was having a stroke. Most doctors are surprised when they see on my chart that I have had bells palsy because I don’t really have any permanent damage. I wanted to share with you, that I went to a chiropractor, and also had some people from my church pray over me. I was back to being able to blink my eye in 2 weeks. I believe in power of prayer and I will definately be praying for a quick recovery for you, it is very wierd feeling, that I will never forget. Take care and hang in there!

Hey TN
I love those, fantastic job on every one of them. My favourite is definitely your husbansd and daughter at the fireworks. The design is wonderful as are their poses, and the small hint of your daughter’s gap-toothed smile adds the perfect finishing touch to it.
You are amazing.
And hey, take care of yourself and get well soon !

Cows! We had Black Angus about 10 years ago when we had the “farm”. And a Red Santa Gertrudis Bull. They’ll eat the grass but I like horses better. They’re more discreet about their waste disposal. We had Horses, too.
