Your Mother Should Know ...

I'm tied up with projects ...

so I'm leaving this for your listening pleasure ... or not [since you might not like this song].  LOL

What did I do today?

Well, I guess the question is incorrect since it's technically Thursday!  So, what did you do with your Wednesday,Sherry?  I'm so glad you asked that question.  And a picture is worth a thousand words.  Goodnight.  :)

Eliminated in Round Two!

I'm sorry to report that I did not make it to round three of the contest. Possibly because I don't know how to follow instructions?  It would be kinda nice to know, but I guess I can live with the uncertainty.  LOL  The good news is that I can still following the lessons, and I really appreciate the reduced stress.  I can also sit back and continue to cheer on my friends.  Go girls!

It's here!

 

Woohoo!  I got some help putting on the strap, and I figured out how to attach the lens.  But all I can do is sit here and look at it because the battery is still charging!  Technology!  What a hoot!

Still Playing ...

I'll have to wait until 10pm tonight to go if I move forward another week or am eliminated in the BadGirlsKits contest.  Here's my class 2 entry; the class was about mixing patterned papers and pulling the colors of your papers from the photos.

 

It's coming ...

I finally took the plunge!  Or I should say DH and I did.  We ordered a DSLR camera! It's the first one we've had in this family.  DH has a 35-year old Canon SLR, and he's thrilled to have me out of the point and shoots!  LOL  I don't know how loooonnnnnng we have to wait, but I'm hoping to have it here by next weekend so I can play with it.

We did our researching and comparison shopping, but couldn't beat the price of this bundle!

 

I'm playing in a scrapbooking contest

I've submitted my work only once for publication.  Nothing came of it.  I keep telling myself I'll try again, but I want to be satisfied with my work first!  LOL  This month I entered my first competition.  I didn't enter to win; there are so many more talented scrappers than me -- like  my daughter, Brenna, and a couple of our design team members, Kim and Lynda!  Go girls!  I entered to learn.  To soak up everything I can.  To practice, practice, practice!

And thanks to DH and my darling youngest daughter, I'm still in for another week.  I had given up.  I tried again.  I gave up again, and I tried again.  Then I didn't have enough time to do a good job.  I would have liked to start all over and call this a draft, but it is what it is.  I submitted the first image.  Then I played with it a bit to get something I can live with.  I like the second image much better.  If I'd had more time, I probably would have changed out the lettering paper, too.

Submitted:

 

I like this one better:

 

And tonight I begin on this week's assignment due Sunday.  I've learned something already -- give myself more time to do work I like!  :)

I did promise you another post

if you came back today, didn't I?  So here it is.  Here's Clarice, a young girl with a big voice.  (Next post I'll get a photo up of the layout I made on Sunday.)

Columbus was right!

There really is an edge to the world, and I fell off it.  It's very dark down there.  And there are other people there, people who also don't keep up with their blogs, people who are looking for their way back.  You can't see the peeps because it's dark.  NOT A good place for a person who loves the daylight.  I could tell you the entire story, which should be good for a few blog posts, but you probably didn't believe this much so why press my luck!

When people begin to make comments about your blog being out of date, it's embarassing.  I'm bad, bad to the bone.  For now you can enjoy this, but tune in again tomorrow.
