sketches.

I've never been a huge "sketcher" when it comes to scrapbooking. Part of my problem is that I have next to zero drawing talent and find it easier to put it together with my supplies. I do, however, like other people's sketches. Have you been to this site before? I tried this sketch by Ali with a few of my Hawaii photos. I took about a zillion from the helicopter. Just couldn't believe the views from the sky! Sketches are good, when I'm not the one drawing them!

this weekend.

It was beautiful here this weekend. We found this cool guy down by the lake. Normally, I'm not into bugs, or anything that creeps or crawls like this, but his hugeness and orangeness caught my eye! I wonder what kind of a butterfly he'll turn into?

Also, my little cutie, Libby. Just love her!

Happy Monday everyone!

feeling creative

Today, I was feeling creative and finished a couple layouts that I stared a while back. I love my new organized-by-color deal I've got going on in my scraproom! I found things I forgot I had, too! More layouts to come, too! This first layout was totally inspired by the fabulously talented Jill Hornby. So cute!

And, did you see Ali's room today? Love it! AND, her book is on it's way to my house right now! Happy Tuesday everyone!

organizing by color

Okay, I used to have my goodies organized by brand and texture, ie. metal, buttons, etc. I've long wanted to organize by color. That's how I scrap, so it makes sense. I'll keep you updated on how it works out and if anyone out there has some suggestions on what they do, please let me know. {insert smiley here}

Sea Turtle

I know, I've been lagging in the layout department! I'm trying to get the journaling and little add ons to finish up those layouts I did while camping. So, here's another Hawaii layout from the camp/scrapping trip.

back.

We made it back! Whew, was that a long drive! 8 hours to be precise. It was well worth it though. Lots of love, family, friends, food... Good food. Cheesecake factory. So did not need those extra carbs, but who can resist the chocolate raspberry truffle? Not me! I'm glad to be back though. Traffic there is too much for me. I guess they just get used to it living there.

Libby did really well in the car for 8 hours. We stopped 3 times on the way down there to give her plenty of time to stretch her legs. She's a good doggie!

Hope you had a great "season premier" week! Hooray for Grey's Anatomy and CSI! Too bad my two favs are on at the exact same time! LOL! Until next time...
