{ A Couple More }

Just a few more

Of some work I did today.

I think I need to go back and darken up

the journaling on the Dudes one...

But you know me...

I'm kinda lazy...and I can still read it...

So that probably won't happen!

Why do I admit these things?

*smiles*

Be Free

This one took a lot of "prep work!" I sat and resized all those pics and made them all fit like that...whew!

It's done!

Thanks for lookin'!

Luv 2 Bake

While I'm at the computer, here is another.
Pic is BRIGHT in real life...my scanner hates pictures!

Doing This...

Because I am bored and don't want to go back to my apartment yet. It's 5:19 pm and I have no studying to do...and without a tv or internet...what is a girl to do besides sit at the campus library computer lab?

So, I am doing this instead: (and perhaps finding some interesting things on the inernet!). Found this on Kelly Purkey's blog....

1. If you could build a house anywhere, where would it be? Probably somewhere on an island in the Carribbean--think: turquoise blue water, white sand, island vacationy fun, nude beaches (JUST KIDDING!)...but the more I sit and think about it, it would be somewhere near my hometown, because, honestly, I really like being there :)

2. What's your favorite article of clothing? My cream low v-neck top from Aeropostale with bling around the V...so cute, trendy, girly, dressy but casual, sexy, and chic all at the same time!

3. Favorite physical feature of the opposite sex? I love eyes...

4. What's the last CD that you bought? The newest Nickelback CD...LOVE #6!

5. Where's your favorite place to be? When I am up at school, home. When I am at home (on breaks and in the summer and such...) I love being on vacations or my friends' houses. Well, that or my scrapbook room!

6. Where is your least favorite place to be? Yeah....that would be working at daycares...lol...so why do I do it? Hmm good question! Oh yeah, and I also dislike going to WalMart.

7. What's your favorite place to be massaged? My shoulders/upper back

8. Strong in mind or strong in body? My mind I suppose.

9. What time do you wake up in the morning? As of the past two days...5:30 am. Fun stuff, hey? I think not...before, in the glorious days of my "summer vacation," I got to sleep till 9!

10. What is your favorite kitchen appliance? I am quite fond of the KitchenAid Mixer!


12. If you could play any instrument, what would it be? A fiddle. Naw, jk...I have no idea. Played the clarinet in 6th grade and sucked...not musically inclined I guess!

13. Sorry folks, there isn't a #13!

14. Which do you prefer...sports car or SUV? Neither. Can't drive stick, dont want to pay for the gas...ha...

15. Do you believe in an afterlife? Yes, I do strongly. I don't deny Heaven but I don't believe in it either...I have a strong belief that we'll find out everything when we die, and all our struggles in life will make sense at that point.

16. Favorite children's book? Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! "Do you have enough room?" A to B, and B to C, I'll race you to the top of the coconut tree!" Wow..........well, thats me!

17. What is your favorite season? I think summer. Hot. Tan. Bright Colors. Ahhhh...

18. What is your least favorite household chore? D-i-s-h-e-s

19. If you could have one super power, what would it be? Teleporting? Is that what its called? When you can be one place, think where you want to be, and POOF, you're there...I hate driving, flying, walking, etc etc etc!

20. If you have a tattoo, what is it? I have two tiny black outlines of butterflies on my upper right back/shoulder area...and then my new one is on the top of my right my foot...solid back Chinese symbol meaning "SHE"...thinking about getting another on my other foot :)

21. Can you juggle? I'm pretty sure this question gets a "no," but I'll try sometime and let ya know...yep, so NOT going to do that...


23. What's your favorite day? Probably Friday, when all my duties for the week are done...then I can just relax!

24. What's in the trunk of your car? Figure skates, a furry white winter mitten (the other is in my center counsel...I should reunite them, huh?) jumper cables, spare oil (car eats it like its candy), and a brown grocery bag full of plastic deli container lids (to donate to something kid related for paint dishes)...random, hey?

25. Which do you prefer, sushi or hamburger? I have only experienced sushi on one occasion, in a gourmet Japanese restaurant in Mexico...it was soooooo delicious, but I dont know if thats what all sushi tastes like...not a big fan of hamburgers...so for the sake of curiosity, I'll take the sushi.

Game over!

Back at School

Moved into my apartment yesterday...and my bedroom super cute :-) I live with four other people...3 girls and one guy...we all have SO MUCH STUFF....thank god we have our own rooms because our panty and kitchen (which are HUGE) are all FULL and so is the fridge...haha everthing is SOOO jam packed!

I will post some pics of the place when we get internet at the apartment...that should be in later this week. Until then, I'm stuck only using the computers at school in between classes! Frustrating!

So, sorry if I don't post much!

Some more layouts!

I'm having a fun day!

For product lists, visit my layout gallery at Scrapjazz.com

Pic is of my friend, DeAnna, who is also Greg's sister.

Effer Dare Layout #1

Decided to check out the Effer Dares and do some of them.

I decided to only do that ones that speak to me; and not do them in order. The whole idea of this is inspiration, and I hate feeling like I "have" to do something a certain way.

So this is my first Dare project, #8. You're supposed to do something that revolves around the "everyday" in your life -- so, decided on doing what I drink in the morning everyday, my coffee concoctions!

Its much brighter in real life...tried photographing it different ways, scanning it over and over...nothing. It's really not so blah!

More to follow!

Product list for layout:

{Paper by Memory Botique} ; (Tim Holtz Distress Ink); [My Mind's Eye Rhinestones & Printed Overlays--green and blue swirls]; {Heidi Swapp: floral, chipboard alphas}; [Sharpie Pen]; (Random Buttons); {Target Paper Clip}

A Few More Pics...

Just some more pics from this weekend that I like.

1. Our Cutie Patootie Cobalt, all grown up. :-)

2. Me and my new shirt. I had never worn anything hot pink before this weekend...and I think I'm in love a little bit!

3. The sunset Sunday evening was absolutely gorgeous! Loved watching it!

Some "firsts" from the 30D

Nothing great...but these are the first couple shots I took with my new camera so they're kinda sentimental...LOL!! (In camera land anyway!)

I love the angle of the second one...so very Tara Whitney of me...hehe!

Hopefully more pics to follow in the next few days...I seriously need some "camera and me time" ...I have only used my new baby THREE TIMES...I think thats considered camera SIN!

"She" Tattoo -- And Mystery Sickness?

Got this little thing put on my foot last night. It hurt pretty bad, but it wasn't horrible. It only took about 10 minutes to do so it was all good.

Camera

Orderd this baby from B&H last night...along with some filters and fun stuff like that
