some days inspiration is easy to find...

and then sometimes i just can't make up my mind...color or b&w??

it doesn't seem like much

but its been so fun playing with this machine! everything pictured was made today with just some scraps...and some of them have more than 1, they just aren't pictured! (click pic to enlarge)

still lots to learn...but this thing is dangerous!! lol!

playing tag

i got tagged by my sweet friend meredith. i am supposed to list 6 quirky things about myself.

i.know.

only.6.

anyways...here goes:

1. i love ketchup, even eat it on my scrambled eggs.

2. i absolutely can not stand anyone else to do the family laundry or cook in my kitchen. (working on the kitchen one, but hey, i'm territorial)

3. i "nest" once or twice a month...so those are the times i run around like a wild woman cleaning and organizing. best to not drop in during non-nesting times:) lol! you might be in for a rude awakening.

4. i absolutely can not stand being late to anything.

5. i can not stand fish. not the smell. not the feel. not the taste.

6. i always wanted to live on a farm. raise animals. manual labor all day. i know i am insane.

ok...so i will have to think of some people to tag...i am far too tired tonight to think anymore!

and because i hate not including pics...here is an all digital layout i created tonight. made it for a cyber crop challenge. you had to use an owl on a layout. so there it is. enjoy!

saturday morning wrap up...

ella decided to cut her hair yesterday with scissors. little turkey.
