blah blah blah

why is it i can go for weeks without talking to myself and then in one day i have all this stuff to post.

this picture cracks me up. how precious. matt decided he wasnt finished eating. so he leaned over to lick the leftovers off the counter. i happened to have the camera within reach, too bad it was a sucky shot. everything in focus except his face LOL

i ordered my new camera bag from tracy joy - thanks kerry for putting the link on your blog and selling me on it. i got the joey backpack version plus a zipper bag, plus a strap sleeve. in the hot couturier pink/black. can't wait to get it.

a few more projects completed today - must be the diet pepsi max - keeps me going. speaking of diet---i'm working on week 4 of simply counting calories and not going over 1500 a day. its not that hard really and it has started to pay off. I am seeing results! i'm inching ever closer to my 25 year old body...i think i lost like 8-10 pounds.

star trek marathon on today on sci-fi. love that.

sure beats superbowl. hate that.

my misplaced NY peep - i miss her. and so I made her and the girls some stuff today. for her i made this little friendship journal. the idea is to send it back & forth - she writes me a note or creates something inside...sends it back to me...i do the same and send it back. she who has the book for more than two weeks gets dubbed "CANOLI HOLE". i know who will be first.

Worldwin Papers Crafty Creations/paper bag card

Worldwin Papers parchment vellum (inside pages)

used my new Bind It All for binding it into a book. very cool toy. getting the hang of it.

i added a present pocket in the back for good measure!

for the girls - silver glitter monograms with green organza ribbon ties, green vellum envelopes - those are printed black & white paper inserts in there.

and finally - an i-might-keep-this-for-myself project:: a digital diary. of course ITS not digital, but its a handy dandy take anywhere book where you can keep your digital notes, user names/passwords/blog buddies/email addresses--and if your into digital artwork, a place for ideas...i used real live vintage library cards in there too. yea - i definately need to make another one of these.
