T-R-A-V-E-L album

Look what Crop Paper Scissors has..... these totally cool letter albums. They have everything from F-A-M-I-L-Y to this travel album, AND every letter of the alphabet that you can alter..... so get down there & start creating! Kristi gave me this travel album to alter, and display in the store to show what you can create. I have had a heck of a time making a 12 x 12 scrapbook of the cruise Jeff & I took so this mini one just shows the highlights & beauty of our first cruise. Had to share it with you all.......

I have a great online store to share with you- it is called Elle's Studio & she also has a blog. She creates the cutest tags, & journaling tags.... I have purchased my fair share and when you create a layout using her items and post them in her Flickr account she picks her faves monthly and you win items from her online store. I won back in June for a layout that I did. I was super excited! So check out her store and blog- she is a Northwest gal too (Washington State)!

Tag is upper left corner- love these!!

This morning I did my first work out in our new gym at Regence....it felt so good to get back on track. I got there at 5:00 am- that will take a little getting used to.

This week I have to start getting ready for our long camping trip with the Leiterman family and the Stelljes duo- we are going to Skull Creek and I cannot wait. It has been a few years since we were there and I just loved it. We will be camping Tuesday - Sunday.....I am sure I will have lots of pics to share.

Sunday we took a road trip to check out some land for possible purchase- but I told Jeff * NO*- too much work needed to be done and we have no time to do it. Besides I want new carpet and furniture and he wants Vinyl fencing. I took some cute pics of Jayton though walking the 'land'.

Trying to be......

..... computer savvy- trying to make a new blog header-trying to change my blog name from 'sleepin on the job' (just made no sense really). So tonight I took a pic of my license plate off my Acadia added a little blurp ( -n- chat ) and I have a new header. I have wanted a pic of my plates as my header for awhile..... It isn't exactly what I had envisioned but it will work for the time being. I tried to make it the 900 x 150 pixel size that my last header was and it made my pic look all wacky. So if anyone that reads my blog has some computer knowledge & can offer some helpful advice please do so. Or if ya think it looks OK you can tell me that too!
Good night.....

quotes & stuff.....

Well, my friend Kristi came across a fun blog full of quotes that are pretty great ..... it is call BLOGTATIONS and some fit me to a 'T'- and others are perfect for others in my family & friends or happenings in our lives...... so I had to share a few.....

"I break out in bitch when exposed to clutter." ~Juggling Life(.... this is totally me)

"But really, what are scars but conversation pieces you never lose?" ~Fat Cyclist(.....will have to share this w/ Jayton when he is old enough to understand)


"For those of you who haven't tried to pee in a cup while 36+ weeks pregnant, let me just explain the procedure. You hover and hold the cup and just pee with reckless abandon praying you'll hear the pee hitting inside the cup." ~Zoot (.....I thought of my pregnant from ape when I read this one)

"I hate my period. And by "hate" I don't just mean your average, run-of-the-mill, "I hate it when telemarketers call" kind of hate. I mean I well and truly hate my period. I hate it with the white hot passion of a thousand blazing suns...I am one of those women who will usher in menopause with a big, fat party. Anyone I have ever met in my life will be invited. I will expect lavish gifts and exuberant, over-the-top congratulations from all. I will have balloon animals and a special sky-writing airplane, announcing to all who look to the heavens that I AM NO LONGER OVULATING! HALLELUJAH!" ~Walking with Scissors (....... for those that know me this is a FACT!!!!)

"I hate onions. I think they should be banned from all food products. Please explain to me why anyone would eat something that smells like old feet and a sweaty-man's B.O."
~Ordinary Art (......EXACTLY! onions are nasty)
