(more) T-Shirt Bags 2008-06-01 21:52:00 Today passed by in a blur. From Sunday School to the service. To a small shopping trip. To lunch. To the grocery store. And home by 3. I was worn out from the activity and heat! Horribly hot and humid here.I managed to squeeze in a little creative time though to work on some new t-shirt bags from 3 shirts I bought at Goodwill yesterday. I managed to complete all 3 and add them to my Etsy sto Read more:Shirt

More Organization Ideas 2008-06-07 11:49:00 I'm on a cleaning kick today. Straightening up and rearranging some of the items in my scrap room. It started off as a small project - working in room for a new album in my Crop In Style unit. Then exploded into "well, if I move this here...and that there..." I think you get the picture. ;) They aren't major changes, but hopefully will help me tidy up a bit and rework my expanding collectio Read more:Organization
Updating Folder Pictures 2008-06-07 09:36:00 As with my digital photos, I keep my digital scrapbooking kits in a folder in My Pictures
. I'll use my DigiKits album when trying to come up with an idea, but sometimes I know exactly what I want - I just need to get my mouse on it. ;) That's where having them all in one folder with the view set to thumbnail helps.A few weeks ago while scanning my eyes over that folder in search of a kit, I rea Read more:Folder
Staying Cool 2008-06-09 05:00:00 Ah yes, the joy of triple digit weather. We had tickets for Sunday evening to go to the Durham Bulls baseball game. Yup, sit there and swelter for 3 hours. Hmm...well, with my asthma acting up and Trent overcoming a cold - that just didn't sound very appealing.Instead, we picked a cooler option and went to see You Don't Mess with the Zohan. Very funny movie. Adam Sandler is a riot as always.
Digital Scrapbook Prints 2008-06-08 13:45:00 We ventured out into the heat briefly today to make a trip to the grocery store and the Post Office. I recently placed an order with Scrapbook
Pictures.com for prints of 13 of my digital scrapbook pages. I had the order shipped to our PO box versus home in case they arrived on a weekday in this heat. And, sure enough, they were there and waiting for us.This was my first order from ScrapbookPictu Read more:Digital

Daily Grind 2008-06-19 05:55:00 A follow-up yesterday's Traffic Jam post - fortunately that is unusual for my commute as I travel opposite most of the traffic. The only slow times are when, as Monday, there is an accident. Really doesn't matter where it occurs because people will slow down to look regardless. And while this one was on the far right in my lanes (completely closed down the right lane for that matter), even the Read more:Daily
