I think there’s a blog prompt out there somewhere called wordless wednesday. This is gonna be my version of that. More pictures less words because I’m…emotionally drained, way behind on last weeks to-do list, still in my pj’s at 8:30 and meeting Nikki at Panera in an hour. So, quick recap of the past week in pics…
I like how this has sortof a wooded whimsy look. And because I mentioned new clothes in the last post. This is my new favorite top, although you can’t see much of it here. You’ll have to trust me that it’s very cool. :)
My new bag. Still playing with a new design but this one I couldn’t part with. The original idea was to take it for one night to get some pics in real life rather than hanging on a hook and then sell it but all the little things I carry around with me have called it home. Oh, and it’s much cooler here now so I’ve hauled out my favorite shiny red shoes. They make me happy every time I wear them. :)
A night of sewing with Jill and then with Nikki and I’ve got 5 new bags posted in the shop. I’ve given up picking favorites. :) 
An off-road derby on Saturday night that I got to see 4 of my nieces at. No pics though, rushed off to not miss Dan’s race and forgot to grab my camera. :( He did great though. We’ll have to wait for Kimmy to post again for the details.
And yesterday I received a little package in the mail from Katelyn with another super sweet card and my very own remote for my camera. Now I’ve got a tripod and a remote so no more excuses for not using my camera more often. Plus I can finally take better pictures of my purses. :) Oh, and there’s my new jacket from last weeks shopping trip. :)
Okay, off to finish getting ready for Panera and then work today and sewing with Jill again tonight. Tomorrow is a whole day of blog designing. First person to guess who’s banner this one is…
…wins a little RAK from me. (click image to view full size)
I’ve got 3 others that should all be coming together by tomorrow and I’m working on another FUN project for Tara that I can’t wait to share too. I got an email from her last night that actually said, and I quote…”I LOVE THIS MORE THAN OREOS!” That made my heart smile.
Kay, gotta run, back soon (hopefully) with more blogs to share, that recipe (sorry, just crazy busy) and a new revised to-do list template. I’ve discovered that certain areas need to include far more space. I also need to add a ‘long term goals’ area or something along those lines. Wow, this has turned out to be very wordy for a ‘wordless wednesday’ post. Sorry ’bout that. Now I’m gonna be late for Panera. Oy!
Have a great Wednesday!

Kimmy says:
Great pics, Shawny. I love the one of you in the park, especially. It’s amazing how green everything looks. Glad to see you posting more often.
I have no idea whose banner that is - I should ask more of those types of questions. Although, I have to admit that I have no idea what RAK is - probably not something I’d be into anyway. Wait a minute - is that your blog banner?

Hi Miss Shawn.
Thank you for commenting on my logo designs a few days back. I am getting so many comment spams on my blog that Gmail is sending ALL comment notifications to the Spam folder, so I miss out on REAL comments. So sorry!
But I am so glad I found your blog. You seem such an amazing person! Your scrapbook designs are fantastic and you complement them with great photography.
Honestly, this scrapbook design you tried here: http://auntiepea.typepad.com/auntie_pea_blog/images/2007/06/18/my_eyes.jpg
is very much like what I want the design for my Star Magnolia online boutique to look like. Elegant yet whimsy. I read the post where you were pondering on how to make a little extra money (girl, I feel ya, I’ve been working this out myself, too!) and I wish wish wish wish I could hire you to make a few graphics for my website. I’ll def keep you in mind in the future!
Again, thanks for posting on my blog. I’ll be looking out for yours from now on :D

That picture of you is SO cute! and love your bag, and of course those SHoes! you know Red is my favorite! :)
So sorry I missed that you gave me that sweet nomination for a rockin girl blogger……You see I am completely out of it when it comes to these things…so a BIG belated thankyou, and geez what kind comments you left for me!
I am VERY glad I did not intimidate you! I certainly hope I don’t come off like that! just remember, i am just like you….trying to keep it all together in this crazy fast-paced world!
Thanks for making the blog world a much lovelier place!
xoxo

hey shawn-
thanks for the comment today. i would love some help. i don’t understand the widget stuff in blogger. do they have widgets in typepad? i would love to scrap some little headings for my sidebar categories, but i don’t know how to get them on my blog once i do them! if typepad is easier, i may have to suck it up and spend some bucks to have a nicer blog. the price is right at blogger. :)

Great bag, blog, and pics! Esp loving the pics - which begs the question (if you have time to answer)…what kind of camera do you have? That’s my next major purchase, so I’m surveying folks…

I love the bag - the colours together are so perfect…no wonder you kept it!
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment - it’s always so nice when someone de-lurks…not least because it has led to me finding such a lovely blog with so many wonderful colours. I love it - it feels like a notepad that you’ve put beautiful doodles all over!
It sounds from the last post on here (not written by you) that you’re incredibly busy at the moment - I do hope you get some time to relax very soon! x
