Bravo!

Mainly posting about this for posterity's sake. I'm sure at some point it will end up in a layout. My day was crazy busy. I had to take the day off from work first because it would be impossible to drive around this much and try and get back to work in between. Basically I needed to act as chaffeur to get to 2 ortho appts, 3 dentist appts, 1 kid to and from school twice, 1 kid to and from school once, 2 kids to and from volleyball and 1 to and from soccer.

What's SO nice about this is despite all the running around, Wenatchee is small enough that it was only 32 miles on my car. What's BAD about that is in my car that was about 5 gals. of gas. I get horrible gas mileage, but sadly high-gas prices are still much cheaper than having a car payment.
... is not like the others...", I totally heard that song when I saw this little guy! How cute is he?? A little spotlighting to give him the, well, spotlight, he deserves. Did he fnd his way home in my suitcase? Sadly, no, I had already needed to buy another suitcase just to carry home all the books I got (and bought.) How come everything looks so much more "must-have" when it's somewhere out of town?

Back again from Sin City. LOL, I just love to call it that. Haven't had much chance to go through my photos yet. Needed to play catch-up all day with laundry, kitchen, unpacking, etc, you know the drill. This is the first and only pic I've gotten my hands on and thought I'd share as I loved how it came out. The NAPP Photoshop World conference was as awesome and inspiring as I had hoped. If you ever get a chance to attend this (and, of course, you're into PS and photography) then by any means do so. My favorites are Joe McNally and Jay Maisel - two of the world's top photographers with portfolios that were so incredible they brought me to tears. Check them out.
The purse I made for Stephanie needed a little something, some color, so I made these little appliques to add on. Now she seems "done." I'm counting them as 1 of my projects, as I have never made an applique before and it was a learning experience. And they did use a small part of my stash!
The yellow and black purse I made last night for myself. I love the contrast of the vintage flour-sack fabric with the graphic and whimsical polka dots! Made a wider strap for comfort and 4 extra pockets to keep me organized.
I found this old pic of Indy on her very first birthday! This was way back when before I scrapbooked, so I was thrilled to find this little morsel 'o' goodness! The layout is called "Eat cake" (wait all year, after 365 days eat cake!)
