I did it. I finished a page. :) I think I’m finally starting to feel like a digi-scrapper again. Pretty exciting stuff. The page isn’t anything fantastic and quite honestly it’d be totally lame if I didn’t have Nancy’s fun frame templates to start with. She has completely transformed my scrapping style and pulled me out of my 1 photo per page rut. They worked so perfectly for these photos of me and pixel on our first LONG weekend hanging out. And I’ve already got two more LOs in the works using more of her frames. So great to be scrapping again. I can’t believe how much I missed it. So here’s the first of hopefully a FEW finished LOs for this week. :)
Gotta finish getting ready and head into work and maybe pick up a planter that my mom so sweetly painted for me so maybe this weekend I can add some flowers to my sunny deck. Now if only the weather would be more like may/june instead of july/august so I could enjoy sitting out there more often. Have I mentioned how much I hate 86 and humid? Ugh!
Oh and tonight my best friend Jill is coming over. Have I talked about the shirt I made myself this weekend?! I don’t think I have. Well, I made a top that should’ve been SO cute. Perfect Amy Butler fabric, shirring, just too cute. Well it’s way too small. I’d never shirred before and clearly I should’ve practiced on crummy fabric instead of my favorite stuff but Kim gave me some pointers and I’m excited to give it a shot again. I’m sewing my own clothes, how geeky is that. LOL OR we could pretend I’m a fashion designer. I think we’ll look at it that way. :) Anyway, if I get it finished maybe I can have Jill take some pics.
On my to-do list between work and hanging out with Jill and sewing is also finally finishing up responses to e-mails and comments. I really am terrible about that so if you’re still waiting please don’t take it personally. Also need to update the boutique with some new bags and take down a few that have sold. Watch for that maybe tomorrow morning.
Hope everyone has a great Thursday!
edited to add: thanks for all the sweet comments about my toes. LOL Haven’t gotten a pedicure in I don’t even know how long but summer or winter they’re ALWAYS painted. I was actually kinda bummed that I hadn’t done a fancy french pedicure on myself before taking photos of my feet. In case anyone’s interested (cuz it’s so hard to find the perfect color) it’s ‘all the berry best’ by OPI which reminds me I should probably pick up another bottle for summer. :)
Love..love that page Shawn. You inspire me to do more. I will have to email you a photo of some shirts Joey and I have been making..something alittle different, but definitely fun:)Love all the photos there too:)Have a fun weekend.
Shawn!!! I got the bag and I LOVE IT! Thanks so much!
OH gorgeous gorgeous page girl!!!
LOVE this layout! Soooo happy you are scrapping again. You need to motivate me!! ;-) I think its totally cool that you are making your own clothes… you fashion designer you!
Going through a divorce is hard enough on you, it doesn’t help when your family abandons you as well. It’s too bad they can’t set aside their selffish agendas and love you for who your are instead of what THEY want you to be. Your a daughter, a sister, an aunt, yet because you don’t meet their conditions and expectations, your disowned.
If everybody on earth acted the same way your family does right now, the world would be a terrible place to live. In adverse conditions, relationships can either grow stronger or fall apart. Godbless Kimmy (and Jill) for their open heart and ability to see past your mistakes and see you as the amazing person you really are.
I know the family situation has a lot to do with me. The hatred they have towards me is being taken out on you. It’s too bad they feel better having a broken family then accepting their daughter/sister. It’s out of your control. The future holds no promises, just hold on to your hopes and dreams, maybe one day they will share in those dreams, maybe not. It’s definitly their loss.
I will do anythign for you, even if that means stepping away so things can be fixed. I’ve offered that many times, not because I want to, but because I want you happy.
I do love you.
Also. I find your toes sexy.
YAY! you take frame clusters, which I have an entire folder full of, and add a little bit here and a little bit there, and give them a totally awesome look and inspire me to open up that folder and SCRAP! I love your page, and I would love to see it at DST so I could bookmark it…you know, since you decide what to do based on my blog comments, lol.
