of Twilight…

Okay - so toni and i returned to the movies tonight for another viewing of twilight, this time hopefully sans screaming teens.  we lucked out and no screaming teens - although there were a couple of girls sitting behind us who obviously dont’ know you’re not supposed to talk during a movie.  anyways - i thought i would hate it, or at least like it less than the first time i saw it.  my sister had warned me that when she saw it without the screamers, it wasn’t as good.  and while i found some parts funny when they shouldn’t be, i actually like it a little better.  maybe it was the excitement of being out of the house on  my own once again, but i really enjoyed it again

anyways - max turned 4 months on saturday and so we started him on some rice cereal.  he was super cute eating it and i think he liked it.

he seems confused about it though - spends half the time trying to suck his thumb rather than eat the cereal.  

I’ve been rocking out to this tune by the Killers lately.  They performed it on the SNL perfomance they did as their second song and I’m assuming it’ll be their next single off of their new CD.  Wasn’t sure what I thought of it at first - as it seems to be about alien abduction, LOL, but I really like it.  It makes me smile and I love the beat

For my black friday, I got up at my regular time, hung out with my kids like usual, but then my Mom and Dad came and took Alex for half the day.  And BONUS, Gordon got home from work a little early so I got to get good work done.  I had a quick turnaround little thing for Prima to get done before the weekend and another new project I’m starting for someone else.  Then there’s the digi stuff…which shoot reminds me I didn’t blog about my releases this week!  I had one new thing and two old things that I moved over to 2PEASINABUCKET. 

{Hand-Stamped Antique Alpha}

{Hand-Cut Scalloped Mattes}

{Glittered Snowflakes}

We have three printers in this house and not one is in working order right now.  Argh.  First, the epson started printing wonky - colors are bad and it looks all dot matrix-y.  I think it’s having an identity crisis.  So I dusted off the old Canon Pixma.  Great printer, and I was happy because it has two paper feeds so I can have plain paper and card stock ready to go AT ALL TIMES.  Worked great for about three months and tonight decided to seize up and stop eating paper properly.  Poor thing has bulemia.  So dusted off the *gasp* ALL-In-ONE HP thing that is well, older than Alex and that just flat out refuses to print.  I think it’s ticked that I’ve used it for it’s scanning only and even recently broke up with that in favor of a scanning-only HP number I borrowed from my parents.  So I’m a little screwed, as they say, since my next releases I’m working on now are all printable projects.  Frickety Frack.  Oh, internet gods - please smile upon me and let one of these printers decide they want to be my friend again…

Anyways, moving on…tomorrow is Twilight!  I know people are going tonight - I wish I was one of them, but it’s probably best I wait til tomorrow night.  It’s going to be madness - screaming, teenage madness and I don’t care as long as they DON’T KICK MY SEAT, or talk during the previews.  I bet there will be some good ones before this movie - would love to see the HP trailer on the big screen.  So I’m psyched from some Edward/Bella fun tomorrow night with Tery, Toni, Celeste and my lil’ sis.

And that brings me to new releases.  Had a couple new goodies go up at my favorite veggie site on Tuesday.  A couple of oldies (but goodies, of course) and a couple of new things that I hope will intrigue you!  Have a great weekend if I’m a slacker and don’t check in again, cause I roll like that…

Legibles Set No. 1

Legibles Set No. 2

Painted Photo Mattes

Squishy Paint Brush Mega Pack

Today is a good day.  Even though I was up at 6:45am this morning, it turned into a pretty good day.  I’m not an early-bird by any means.  I told Alex he could either go back to sleep then or he would take a nap later (something he hasn’t done in months).  He said he didn’t want to go back to sleep so we snuggled and watched some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  Then, a quick trip to Target and a playdate.  Then, the big event of my day happened.  Max took a nap.  And Alex.  Wow.  I was impressed and barely knew what to do with myself.  I worked of course, but was happy to have that time to myself.  It has made for a much better boy this evening also.

Another reason today is a good day - Max has achieved one of those cute baby milestones…the raspberry.  There is nothing like a baby that thinks they are doing something HI-larious.  And it is downright adorable…

It’s hard to see there, but he’s got it going   And this week was Alex’s first school pictures.  His last haircut was sometime in August, by way of Daddy and some clippers.  He hates getting his hair cut - you’d think it hurt him or something the way he completely FREAKS OUT.  So, since picture day was coming, I decided to do something that I hate - I bribed him.  Yep - with a toy.  So, this is what a $40 haircut looks like… ($15 for the haircut, $25 for the Bounceback Racer bribe toy)

It is a really cool toy and we all like to play with it.    Doesn’t he look dapper?  Ready to start breakin’ hearts, this kid…

I’ve been trying to be more organized these days and that means to-do list.  I have one that I made especially for work.  I started looking for something online one day and then I thought to myself “you idiot - make it yourself, this is what you DO…”  oh yeah - that.  so I made one and am using it a lot…

I just print it out and add things as I go along.  The boxes are nice and big so you can add lots of stuff or leave them BLANK and that is fun too   hehehe…  I thought I’d share it with you in case you need some organization in your life too!  Click here to download it.

I hope you had a good day too!  And here’s to another good day tomorrow and the next day and all the days after!

So when I first started with playing with images and my computer - after countless hours of paint shop pro and massive headaches, it was all because of my need to create a siggy for my ec on ivillage.  Soon I had the bug and was creating for others, and fonts were my passion.  I stumbled upon two peas in search of cool fonts and soon after found the digital scrapbooking part.  It was the first online site, besides ivillage, that I was a member of.  One of the first messageboards that I posted on, and now here I am, selling there.  It is a leap for me - so tough to make this move, away from SBG, where I have been for about two years (if you don’t count that short primahybrid stint).  So although leaving behind SBG is very sad, this new exciting adventure is starting to make me creative again.  Make me having IDEAS AGAIN.  Can you believe that?  And the thing that I find most shocking - I want to scrap and be crafty!

So here are my two brand new products up at 2peas this week…

Talulah Mini Kit

Pitter Pat BG Swatch Book

And the fabulous layouts my CT girls did with Talulah…

Tomorrow is my big day over at Two Peas in a Bucket.  I am very excited and nervous and all that stuff.  I hope that you like the new little mini that I am putting out tomorrow - as well as a little hybrid project!  I’ll have previews and links up tomorrow!!

I am leaving SBG.  I have had an amazing run being a Studio girl and will miss the ladies over there, especially since they welcomed me back after leaving once before.  I am sad to be leaving them, but hopefully will keep the friendships that I made while I was there.  Friday is my last day at SBG and I will be starting at a new (for me) store on Tuesday, Nov. 11th.  I’ll make the announcement then about where that place will be… I am super excited!

Why are Americans so ridiculous?  I just don’t understand how we got here.  Today is election day in the US - I vote in pretty much every election, even the ones where presidents aren’t being elected.  On Friday, I was watching CNN and saw a story about how one of the reporters went to vote early and the lines were so long he gave up.  He said he wasn’t sure he’d have time to go back on Tuesday.  Umm…hello?  You GAVE UP?  Are you kidding me?  There are people in this world who will wait in line FOR DAYS to vote.  Seriously people.

So in searching for that story that I saw — which I didn’t locate — I found this.  A craiglist item.  I hope it’s a joke - someone who doesn’t want to vote, but was going to vote for Obama.  They are asking that someone else agree that not to vote for McCain today so they won’t have to do all that extrenuous line-waiting.  I bet this poster waited in line for days for a iPhone…  Seriously.

So if you can find the time in your day and you’re an American citizen over the age of 18 and registered to vote, please…VOTE!
