I’ve had this post half written since Monday so I’ve already accomplished a couple of these things on my list for this week. It seems the laundry thing even though I’ve done a couple loads already this week I can never check off because there’s always more to do. I don’t know how with just one person I can still practically do a load a day. I may be a bit obsessive about it. I haven’t washed the car yet since it’s been rainy and yucky the past couple days. May end up having to just do the vacuuming part between rain drops and wait on getting the outside cleaned. And my friend Jill ended up buying the laptop that I was borrowing. Sorry Amy/Nicki. If you’re looking for suggestions for finding something to scrap on I’d be happy to help. Just shoot me an e-mail. :) I’ll be busy re-loading everything onto my laptop tonight. So excited to have it back. I forgot how much I love scrapping on a 17" wide monitor. So anyway, here’s my to-do list for this week. Maybe tonight I’ll include it on a new desktop screen to celebrate having my own laptop back. :)
Editing to add a song after emailing songs back and forth with my sister this morning. I stumbled across this one as well as another by the same group that I will surely be scrapping into an art journal style page sometime this weekend. Anyway, this one reminded me of the ‘she’ statement that I included in my ‘to accomplish’ list for this week. Pretty big goal for one week I suppose. May have to extend that one into next month. :)
And then I’m hoping this scenic photo catches the attention of my Utah blog visitors. Kim claims to be single-handedly responsible for all the Utah visits on my blog but she’d have to be doing a lot of traveling all over the state to various coffee-shops and I’m pretty sure with her recent projects she doesn’t have a lot of time for that. ;) So, I’m a little curious about why Utah seems to be the gathering place for so many artsy crafty people. Would love to hear from you. Not that I don’t love hearing from any of my blog readers but at the moment I have a particular interest in this creative mecca otherwise known as Utah. :)
And did everyone see this duet last night on American Idol?! Unbelievable!! The youtube quality video does not do it justice but I had to post it here at least for now since Fox hasn’t apparently pulled these yet? I was thinking they were one of the networks rather protective of that stuff. Anyway, check it out while it’s still there. It’s amazing what they can do now days.
Kay, off to eat dinner, then a trip to blockbuster to return a movie that was supposed to be back last night and then I’ll be busy reloading the laptop and hoping and praying all my ACDSee tags made it through the less than stable back-up process that took place before sending it off for repair. Wish me luck. :) I scrapped one page before getting it back and I sure did miss the handiness of having everything so organized. Hard to believe I used to scrap that way all the time. Ugh!
Also editing to add my pilates ‘stickers’ for this week since I didn’t have everything loaded to the laptop for posting yet yesterday. Slackin’ off a bit this week. I’ll have to make up for it somehow over the weekend.
Sweeeet font you used!!!!!! Totally agree about all the creative ones coming from Utah~And looved AI last night! Did you see stephs’ new kewl font site? Love it! Muah babes!
I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you that all your ACDSee files are in tact. I know how hard you worked getting everything tagged. Ugh, I don’t even want to think about it. I still haven’t finished mine.
As for the laundry, frankly I think it breeds in the hamper. How does that happen? There is more laundry to be done just hours after I have finished. It drives me nutty.
Hey girl….Yup about the laundry..I am on my 5 load since last night and I still have a ton more. I am going to start doing a “to do” list and maybe I can get some things accomplished. And my car is first on my list today after a walk with my neglected dog;) I am working on pendants today too..so I’ll show ya.
I have asked Kim about the disproportionate number of scrappers from Utah…I always had my own hunch that the scrapping was a spin-off of the Mormon recordkeeping/geneology thing. So far there are no hard facts, only speculation. ;)
Hi Shawn, you probably don’t remember me at all, but over a year ago (like nearly 18 mos. ago) I found your blog and I was just recently asked by a friend “who inspired you to start a blog” and I had to say “well it was this really creative girl that I don’t even know” (you!)I’m happy to see that you business has taken off with your darling purses, congrats! I had lost you for a while because of some changes to your url, but I googled “Eclectic Whimsy” and found you again! (I’ve been a little busy with my babies, 20mos and 2 mos, so I wasn’t quite hangin’ on to the blog band wagon very well!
ANYWAY, I blogged about you, and linked your Eclectic Whimsy stuff as well on my blog at eightcowmom2.blogspot.com now I just need to pick out a diaper bag!
I just wanted to stop by and say hi! I haven’t visited in awhile but I just heard your interview on Disc Talk Radio! :) It was so cool to listen to ya!!!!
mmmmmm, Utah….. ;) Farmington is 45 minutes from Park City/Canyon’s. However, only 15 minutes from Snow Basin. Oh, and 40 mins from Kim. And the mountain biking…*gasp*. There is also a military base. Wow, Utah just sell’s itself now doesn’t it. :)
Would SOMEBODY email me the link Shawn’s radio interview. She won’t share it with me. I want to chop it into a funny video and post it on Youtube. (<—should I have left that part out).
Oh, you wouldn’t have so much laundry to do if you didn’t wash a pair of socks and 1 shirt per load. Just an FYI there. Hope that helps. :P
PS. That lady doing the pilates kinda freaks me out.
