{ I’m a Scrappin’ Fool and Other Random Stuff }

I am a scrappin’ fool lately and I *love* it! I missed it more than I’d realized (have I said that before??). Well I did. I actually finished 2 pages this weekend which has to be a weekend record for this s-l-o-o-o-o-w scrapper. Here’s one of the pages I finished that actually covers 3 *count ‘em THREE* challenges in one LO. I’ve been wanting to jump in on all the great challenges posted here and there in the scrapbooking world for so long so I guess I made up for lost time with this one. Or at least tried. :) The main theme of the LO is from the Hodge Podge challenge to scrap your favorite feature. The design was loosely based on a Scrapjack LO from back in March I believe that I’d saved in my blog-roll by Adrienne Looman (love her stuff) and I also used the word ‘my’ in the title which is the word this week for the One Little Word challenge. That one was sorta a bonus since I really just happened to use that word in the title without having the challenge in mind but I think it still counts, right? Anyway, you can find the credits (and my other weekend LO) here (of course).

Other than that, nothing too eventful going on. Lovin’ the fact that gas prices were under $3 today. Was completely on empty so ozone action day or not I had to fill up. Hoping to do some scrapping in my air conditioned apartment tonight. Really need to get that fixed on my car soon ‘cuz 94 degrees makes me pretty cranky without A/C.

Got some cute pics of Pixel at a local park Friday night that I may try and scrap. For now there’s a couple posted in my flickr. She’s gettin’ bigger. She doesn’t really seem much heavier really than the 5 lbs. she was when i got her but she looks about twice as tall already. She did awesome this weekend on the house training. Like really awesome and she’s learning the ‘sit’ command pretty good. She goes to the vet again this week so I’ll have to ask about getting her signed up for puppy training as soon as she’s old enough. She’s a sweetheart though and super cuddly. More playful and rambunctious when I have people over which is frustrating but I guess it’s ‘cuz she’s such a social character. She get SO upset when neighbors walk (or even drive) by without stopping to give her attention. If they’re within eye sight she seems to think they couldn’t possibly go about their day without at least saying hi. Crazy pup. Gotta love ‘er. :)

Busy work week, lots of project ideas to work on in the studio in my *spare* time, girls night with Jill (and hopefully Kimmy), another afternoon at the beach (although I’ll be starting from scratch again on the tan), and hopefully a little scrapping thrown in here and there while I’m on a roll. :) Oh, and picture takin’. REALLY gotta get back in the habit of taking at least one photo a day. That’s the goal for this week. Might need a theme. Hmmmm.

Kay, hope I didn’t lose you on that completely random rambling post. So much more I had planned on gabbin’ about here but once again I’m worried I’ll lose ya’ll with my 3 page posts. Be back soon. :)
