{ Updates & New Music }

First, Fifi’s blog is becoming more and more fabulous every day as she’s adding posts and updating the albums. If you haven’t checked it out since I first posted the link you’ve already missed a ton. I don’t know how she does it.  

Pixel had a GREAT time at the dog park. I wish it weren’t so far away ‘cuz I think we’d go there everyday if it were closer. Nikki was so sweet to invite us along. I just happened to be out watering the flowers on the deck when she was driving by & the afternoon out in the sun, rather than sitting on the computer all day, was just what I needed. Pixel and Murphy had a blast. Here they are terrorizing a poor little dog who was trying to enjoy a nice walk through the park. LOL

Pixel slept pretty much the entire rest of the day and evening. She’d wake up to eat a bit and go outside and then fall right back asleep. So…finding a closer dog park might be on the agenda for this weekend. I’ve had Koda all week while Scott’s up north fishing and dealing with the two of them has been rather trying.

I did get at least a temporary site posted for the blog design and also the boutique. Check out Jill’s purses. She’s been busy busy sewing. :)

I know I’ve got a spelling error (which I’m usually so careful about) on the pricing page. I’d like to add paypal buttons to that page this weekend so I’ll fix the spelling error when I do that.

Tara (Bella Pink), Maegan and Shari, I’ve got you all on my list and I’ll be emailing you today with questions to help get me started on your blogs this weekend. :)

I’ll be catching up on e-mails today. Last night I actually gave myself a bit of a break from my usual computer tasks and just spent time chatting with friends and finding new music. And I found some great stuff. I was originally in search of a song that had me in tears on the way home last night by this group. I’d have bought their whole album but it’s not available until the end of august and they haven’t even let the first single out yet. :( The song is called East to West and you can hear it by clicking the link above. It’ll definitely be on my blogpod as soon as it’s available.

I did actually discover two new artists that Lauren and Katelyn had never heard of though. Score! :) Sara Bareilles & Jon McLaughlin are fast becoming my new favorites. I’ve updated the blogpod with a couple songs from each of them, as well as some other new stuff that Lauren sent me and I think a song or two discovered on ‘So You Think You Can Dance’. One of the great bonuses of watching that show. :) This selection of songs best represents what I would consider my style of music. I like all kinds but if I had to pick a style these songs would fit it perfectly. I already see the lyrics from a few of these definitely showing up on a scrapbook page or two (or three).

Hopefully I’ll be back with 1 or 2 links to fresh new blog designs and maybe a purse or two by the end of the weekend. I have two that are so close to being done but just haven’t spent any time in the studio this week. And I really should work on my own blog design that is long overdue if people are going to be coming here to see what an Eclectic Whimsy Design blog could look like, dontcha think?

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
