It's all About the L

Round and Round

My week was CRAZY!!  Workwise, it was super productive, for which I am happy.  I really felt in the groove at work.  Got a lot done, even though I have a bit of work to do this weekend.  We had an incredible speaker at the sales meeting I attended, his name was Marlon Shirley, an Olympic track and field athlete.  He was truly inspirational and really spoke to me.  Listening to him strengthened my resolve to seriously attack this weight loss thing.  He is one of the fastest people in the WORLD.  Very incredible.   So, thanks to Marlon for his inspiration, even though he might not know it!  Here is Marlon's website, Marlon Shirley.

On the personal side, My Daughter's Wish, my local scrapbook store, had a HUGE Open House where everyone was invited to come for food and to do ATC cards with the Wish Chicks, the design team.  I might have posted this before, I am one of the Wish Chicks!  Yeah!!  We all made ATC's then did them as make and takes.  We were PACKED with people, every 20 minutes we got another group.  I had sooo much fun!!  It was great to meet all the customers and for them to see us and our work.  Sheri, the owner, did a fab job putting on the evening.  I KNOW everyone had a FABULOUS time.  I hope we do it again!  This was my card...I know, I know, not my usual brights.  I didn't go to the Design Team meeting because of the flu, so I got a leftover baggie of stuff!  I loved it though, I rocked the muted colors!! (Julie L-B, if you read this, aren't you proud of me for rocking the muteds? LOL!)

Today is Saturday!! I had a really productive workweek so I am feeling good today!! I do have a bit of work to finish this weekend but that's no biggie!!  I got a bit of sleep and then I got to SCRAP!!!  I needed some creative time!  I wanted to make a mini book of a girls trip, but a STAR I had gotten from the Cocoa Daisy kit last year was calling out to me!  I altered it with some Scenic Route and Love, Elsie papers along with some Bazzil, Imaginisce, and Lil Davis Flowers and topped it off with some Heidi Swapp Bling!  I love the way it came out, very understated and awesome!  I am giving this away as a gift to one of my dear friends.  I might be tempted to keep it for myself though!  LOL!!  You probably want to see a pic, right?

I am off to do a bit of work before doing more SCRAPPING!!  Sooo excited!!   

Let Him Fly

Here are the pics of the mini album I made of the big graduation photos!  I got this Maya Road Bird Mini Album in a kit and we all know how I feel about birds! LOL!!  It ended up being the perfect inspiration for this project.  Let me know what you think!

These are some of my fave pages.  I really wanted this book to be very lumpy/bumpy and textured.  I am happy with the way it came out!

First Blog Post of 2008!

Yes, Virginia!  I am still alive!!  I haven't blogged in forever!!  Let's see what's happened:

• Had Thanksgiving in Southern California, had a great time! 
• Visited my mom in AV, it was fabulous to hang out with her!
• My birthday in December was AWESOME!  Ross took me to see Wicked in LA.  I cannot even begin to describe how utterly fabulous it was.  If you get a chance, you MUST see it.  My new song right now is "Defying Gravity". 
• Unfortunately, while we were away, I ended up getting the flu!  I woke up on Saturday morning feeling like crap and with a 101 degree fever!!  We were celebrating Christmas with Ross's family and I ended up being feverish and out of it for most of the day.  Not too much fun.  Ross dropped me off at the hotel . I ended up being out of work for 3 more days, which was also not fun.
• My mom came home for the holidays.  We had a great time with her.  I miss hanging out with her more often. 
• We had a wonderful Christmas.  Ross got Guitar Hero and now we are addicted! 
• I was on vacation for the week of Christmas.  I had a work meeting on January 2 then was on vacation for the rest of the week.  I played Guitar Hero on Thursday morning and scrapped in the afternoon.  By 5pm on Thursday, I was in bed with the flu! 
• Today, I am getting tons better.  I missed a meeting of the My Daughters Wish Design team, total bummer.  I am not sure if I am going to my church thing tomorrow.  I don't want to have a relapse.  I have way too much going on at work next week.

So, that's what's going on with me!  LOL!!  I worked on a special project during my vacation.  I will post pics later on this weekend.  Have a great day!
