Chatting with Gundi

[Shana34]

Shana - if you were hanging here all day, why didn't you come to Sunday Chat?

*cowers* I uh...fell asleep. I'm sorry I really meant to make it this week too. :(

[ReneT]

Ooooh oooh oooh *raises hand* I missed you! I'm glad you had fun. :D I bet the both of you needed that pretty badly. Pictures of Gary spray painting the Cadillacs coming?

I thought they had a shorter week too at first, so I'm right there with you. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Well, I have a photo of Gary PRETENDING he's spray painting Cadillacs. Does that count? :rofl: We didn't take any spray paint, but there were lots of empty cans laying around, so he picked one up and pretended it was him who painted the romantic purple :love1: on one of them. :rofl:

[ReneT]

Of course we missed you! Look how quiet it's been!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[ReneT]

Oh, I forgot to say... Yes, of course we missed you! :D

:D

I'll post a couple pics in a second. One of them of Gary is hilarious.

[idtwinmom]

*cowers* I uh...fell asleep. I'm sorry I really meant to make it this week too. :(

Oh, please don't cower! :hug: With having been sick, falling asleep is a totally acceptable excuse! Just know you were missed!

[idtwinmom]

Ahhhh! Silence! DH just took the kids to the playground!

Michele - I just got #6 for SWTS done! Proud of me? I didn't start until yesterday!

[Shana34]

Ahhhh! Silence! DH just took the kids to the playground!

Michele - I just got #6 for SWTS done! Proud of me? I didn't start until yesterday!

YAY! I don't think I'm going to make it this month. It's been hard getting 1 page done let alone 10, but hopefully next month I'll be back on track. :D

[Shana34]

Well, I have a photo of Gary PRETENDING he's spray painting Cadillacs. Does that count? :rofl: We didn't take any spray paint, but there were lots of empty cans laying around, so he picked one up and pretended it was him who painted the romantic purple :love1: on one of them. :rofl:

Awww how romantical! Did he make you swoon? :rofl: I can't wait to see the pics! I've always wanted to see the Cadillac Ranch! :D

[idtwinmom]

Oh Chris - gotta question for ya! That Alpha that you used in the Autumn Flair kit for the title - do you have that in the store, will you put it in the store? Or can you at least tell me what font you used? (Of course, it probably wasn't free so I'd still have to buy it, huh!)

[ReneT]

Awww how romantical! Did he make you swoon? :rofl: I can't wait to see the pics! I've always wanted to see the Cadillac Ranch! :D

No, not so much! :rofl: Gary's more about making me laugh than making me swoon, although occasionally he'll do something romantic. :)

[ReneT]

Here are the Cadillacs:

:rofl::rofl::rofl:OK I am such a dork! I am thinking alpha? I used an alpha? who knew! :rofl: Went and checked .............ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I guess I could make an alpha out of that. Super idea, Lisa! I will make that tomorrow. The font is Suzi's Radical something or another. Should be in the TOU.

Rene of course we missed you. Glad you had such a super good time

Heather unfortunately that does sound suspect. :(

[Christine]

hey look at the 2nd car from the left, it almost looks like it says gundis in yellow :D

[Shana34]

Rene - awesome pictures! I think a guy that can make you laugh is VERY romantic....I love laughing of course. :D

Chris it almost does look like Gundi's! LOL

[stitchmich]

Ahhhh! Silence! DH just took the kids to the playground!

Michele - I just got #6 for SWTS done! Proud of me? I didn't start until yesterday!

YEs, I AM Proud!!! Keep going, you can make it! It took me all week, but I finished 10. I'm tired now.

Here are the Cadillacs:

Have you been in TX and didn't come see me?

[Christine]

must have been my alter ego ;)

Super idea, Lisa! I will make that tomorrow. The font is Suzi's Radical something or another. Should be in the TOU.
Would you create a value kit with all 3? I haven't bought that kit yet, but have it in my cart. If you would add the alpha I would buy the whole set!

Rene of course we missed you. Glad you had such a super good time

Heather unfortunately that does sound suspect. :(

Seems like he's getting used to having his picture taken if he would do that!

YEs, I AM Proud!!! Keep going, you can make it! It took me all week, but I finished 10. I'm tired now.


Glad you are proud! I now have 7 done, but was working on number 8 and really screwed up! I hadn't saved it yet, but had been working away and really had something starting to shape up when I accidentally closed the whole thing! Argh!!!!!! Getting used to the pen can be torture sometimes!

Off to dinner and then will restart it!

[addicted]

Heather, you shouldn't talk bad about me when I'm not here to defend myself. :rofl::rofl::rofl:


Who me? I have no idea what you are talking about. :rofl::rofl: I'm an angel!


Heather unfortunately that does sound suspect. :(

That's what I'm thinking! I need to call and see how she is doing.

Stitchie, CONGRATS!!!


Rene, glad you are back and had lots of fun.

[addicted]

Oh and your pics are hilarious!

[ReneT]

Of course you are! :D

Hope she doesn't have the flu.

[idtwinmom]

OK, guys, it's a World Record! I did 10 LOs in 2 days! (Hope at least some of them are actually good!) Will be posting them in SWTS and Featured Designer probably tomorrow! Oh, and Michele - I actually got the Sunday Scrap Challenge in there too! Yay Me!

[Christine]

wow! you really kicked it in gear! Good job you!

[ReneT]

[Christine]

I actually scrapped tonight! yay!!!! I get so busy designing that I am wayyyyyyy behind on my scrapping.

Psssst, Stitchie, be sure to move your Fall Flair layouts over into the Multiplicity gallery if they don't have to be somewhere else. :D

[sands_healy]

ahhhh true :( but what happened to the old one? or your diving one. I'm thinking you have at least one camera around there w/ a manual mode ;)

ok yes I still have my 350D but... the dive camera.... although has P, S, A and M, cannot be used on those!!!! How stupid is that?

Oh Chris - gotta question for ya! That Alpha that you used in the Autumn Flair kit for the title - do you have that in the store, will you put it in the store? Or can you at least tell me what font you used? (Of course, it probably wasn't free so I'd still have to buy it, huh!)

Hey congrats..... gees been a long time since I did swts.

[stitchmich]

Psssst, Stitchie, be sure to move your Fall Flair layouts over into the Multiplicity gallery if they don't have to be somewhere else. :D

okey, dokey! THanks for the heads up. If I change the gallery, will I have to update my links? or will they still work? And stop putting reminders in the Multiplicity thread before somebody comes in a steals the lead from me! :lol: just kidding. I've been waiting for Shana show up any time now with about 30 ploppers. Seriously though, I really love your kit.

Good job on getting your SWTS pages done, Lisa!! You rock! I'm glad I got mine finished because I don't think I'll have a chance to scrap at all this week. It's lookin like one of "those" weeks. :p

I'm a little bummed about my tablet. :( The main reason I went ahead and got it was for my job, doing embroidery digitizing. I had hoped that it would help with the pain I have been having when I work for the past several months. I may be just shifting my pain to a different set of muscles though. Maybe I just need more time to get used to it.

WEll, have a good Monday, Gundi Girls!

:rofl: I've been trying so hard not to do ploppers lately so I actually go out and take pictures! hehe. I did do two, so you've still got me...but the day is young! Kidding. ;)

[carolyn d]

Awesome photos



Again... you've probably done this before, but how does one do a meter reading?

When shooting in manual AND shooting in the SAME LIGHT as the subject, I took my meter reading from the sky-- aim the camera at the sky, depress the shutter button half way and then adjusted so the meter read at 0... tnen focused on the subject and took the shot WITHOUT making any meter adjustments after the fact. I do it this way because I want to control the shutter speed.

In apeture priority, the camera will automatically set the meter to balance the available light.. and set the shutter speed. if you need to adjust you would use your compensation adjustments. In the case of the water, I saw the shutter speed was about where I wanted it to get that silky water... it's a faily slow speed so tripod is necessary...

Either way will give you the same results.. you just need to watch the shutter speed.

If you are in the shade and shooting INTO the light, then you need to use manual all the way for the best exposure otherwise you can get wicked silhouetting from the darker areas.. and that may NOT be what you are looking to do.

All the water shots were taken using a circular polarizer to reduce water glare.

[carolyn d]

So you don't actually have a piece of equipment that's called a meter reader :think:HAHAHA ! You have one built into your camera ! A light meter ( incidence meter ) is a handy little thing if you are using multiple flashes--it helps to balance the flash output onto your subject...

[carolyn d]

he he he, doesn't he make you just have to grin?!
http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii294/gundimom/Kids/DSC_5864.jpg
He is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy to cute ! and a great shot ! The ONLY thing I would critique is moving him to the right so all the flowers/leaves become the SOLE background tones/colors.. there is a very dark shadow growing out of his head ! I love the positioning and your angle of view. The hardest thing i have learned is to actually SEE EVERYTHING in the frame !

[carolyn d]

I'd love to have the details if you could get me some. Maybe I could organise to go either one of them.

here is the entire workshop list for 2010.... this was the entire email send via his facebook....

2010 Workshop ScheduleShare
Wednesday, October 14, 2009 at 6:32pm
I have attached my 2010 Photography Workshop to this email and I am sure you will agree there is something for everyone this year. I will have ALL the workshop details ready to send out by the middle of next week, but for now, and as the saying goes, The Early Bird Gets the Worm. So, if you are at all interested in one or several let me know ASAP. These workshops will fill up very quickly, particularly when I send out the much larger email late next week. All you need to do at this point is reply to the following email address:

bryanfpeterson2@mac.com

and indicate your intent to attend and I will place your name on the list for that particular workshop. Then, late next week,you will receive the Pay Pal $100 Deposit request along with the PDF file that explains the workshop details in full.
Once you have received the Pay Pal Invoice and the PDF file of information, you will have 72 hours to secure your spot with the deposit. If the deposit is NOT received within 72 hours of sending it out to you, you will lose your spot.
I am really looking forward, as always, to making new friends in 2010 and seeing those familiar faces as well. Any questions? You know what to do-send me an email: bryanfpeterson2@mac.com.
To those of you that have already "reserved" your spots in one or several of the workshops on the 2010 List don’t fret. Your spot is secure and there is no need to sign-up again.
Also, some of you reading this have signed up for a workshop with me in 2010 and you may not find that workshop listed on the attached schedule. Rest assured those workshops are taking place and they are not being listed here because they are already full e.g. Cape Cod in May and the first Provence workshop in June. Again, if you already signed up for either of these, rest assured, the workshop is taking place and your spot is secure.
All my best-
Bryan F Peterson

Wow! You manage to get a lot of great shots with that Ap priority setting! Yup... because the light was awesome and even all around... just setting the ap to it's largest number literally guarantees a slower shutter speed.. but you def need a tripod ! Mine got quite the workout... in mud, water.....OMG.

[carolyn d]

Here's some madness from Day 2 in downtown Portland. Basically learning various techniques.. so these are really awful for the most part. But the techniques are really interesting so thought I'd share.

I solved this! When doing a lot of scrapping/digitizing, turn the touch off! Then you can rest your hand more appropriately and it really takes a lot of the strain away!

Great shots! It's fun to see Bryan standing near the Convention Center, without any sign of the building and still know exactly where you were! I wonder if I will ever learn to be so critical of my shots! I thought the one of the leaf where you were mad at the wind was really cool!

[Christine]

ok yes I still have my 350D but... the dive camera.... although has P, S, A and M, cannot be used on those!!!! How stupid is that?





Hmmm the TOU on Kit 1 reads : Fonts Used:GF Ordner and DSP Dadical Dodents by Suzanne Walker, www.digitalscrapbookplace.com

and no fonts are listed for kit 2:think::think::think:

HOWEVER!!!!, I do have a font called Radical Rodents which looks similar :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:



Hey congrats..... gees been a long time since I did swts.
oh my heck! Funny story about that font! I looked at my font and it said Dadical with a D. Double checked the store and it said Radical with an R so I am way scratching my head. Emailed Suzie to see what was up and found out she changed the name between when she gave it to the designers and when it went into the store lololol!

[Christine]

And why does the dive camera have those things if u can't use them?!!!!!

OK, well then the Font is in the store as Radical Rodents (should I add it to my cart or will you be making the Alpha so I don't have to cut all the little pieces of paper myself! :lol:)

And I wondered the same thing! Is it because she doesn't know how? Seems like she is a better photographer than that!

Well, I got my SWTS LOs done! 10 in 2 days and all linked and loaded! WooHoo! I may just go read!

Way cool photos, Carolyn! I love the one with the leaf in the fence, but my favorite was the metro train. And that was Bryan posing? Are you back home now?

I solved this! When doing a lot of scrapping/digitizing, turn the touch off! Then you can rest your hand more appropriately and it really takes a lot of the strain away! Much better than the old mouse! I think you will find that it will help a lot! My hand feels way better and I did just do 10 pages in 2 days!

That's not really the problem. When I digitize with my mouse I use left click, right click and a side thumb button set to Enter. The strain I have been having seems to be coming from using my ring finger on the right click. On the tablet I am having trouble making a right click work for me. It's a pen button, but you have to be hovering when you click it, not touching the pad. Any suggestions? Maybe I try right click on a tablet button instead. Right now I can't seem to remember what my buttons are set to :p

[idtwinmom]

Alpha is done just need to finish packaging and upload :)
WooHoo! Will it go in the Value Pack or will I need to buy it seperate! I'm gonna buy it either way, but just wondered since the old Value Pack is also sitting in my cart!

Way cool photos, Carolyn! I love the one with the leaf in the fence, but my favorite was the metro train. And that was Bryan posing? Are you back home now?



That's not really the problem. When I digitize with my mouse I use left click, right click and a side thumb button set to Enter. The strain I have been having seems to be coming from using my ring finger on the right click. On the tablet I am having trouble making a right click work for me. It's a pen button, but you have to be hovering when you click it, not touching the pad. Any suggestions? Maybe I try right click on a tablet button instead. Right now I can't seem to remember what my buttons are set to :p

First - yes, that is Bryan posing! I recognize him from that video she posted.

Second - there is already a button programmed for right click. It's the big one at the bottom. If you set your tablet right in front of you or in your lap, it would be an easy tap with either hand (if you want to use just your right hand you could easily use your thumb, pen still in hand to tap it!) I think that would ease some of the strain. It takes a lot of practice to get the right click to work right on the pen, and the way I hold it, I find that button is always outside of my reach! I do that with pens/pencils too. For some reason they always seem to spin a little as I write/work. Chris said she uses her index finger for that button, but I find if I consciously place it under my thumb it stays in place better and I am getting better at making it work right!

[Christine]

WooHoo! Will it go in the Value Pack or will I need to buy it seperate! I'm gonna buy it either way, but just wondered since the old Value Pack is also sitting in my cart!

It will only be separate we decided we would do only one type of value collection for each series so it wouldn't be too confusing to have multiple permutations of the same thing. Since the 2 kits are already a VC I would have to remove that one and add the one with the alpha and Kim might have to glare at me. Lol plus some people will be confused why their vc was different etc so long story short the alpha will be a single only :)

I'll play around with it some more. I'll twist the pen around and see if it works better under my index finger. That sounds like a good idea. I am used to using my right hand for right click, so it will take some adjusting. I guess I'm just frustrated because I was too busy today to play around with it and see what would work for me. This is NOT the right week for me to be making changes. It's getting busy in the shop! DH came by several times today to ask how my tablet was working or question why I was giving up already. But I am not giving up!

[idtwinmom]

Cool Beans! I will wait and buy the VC and the Alpha together! (Don't tell KL, but I was kind of bummed when I won her kit and not yours - so it's been sitting in my cart, but I wanted the Alpha to go with it!)

Reading this makes me question: Are you a leftie? Although I'm not, I do have the tablet in the left hand configuration. I use my pinky to operate the buttons on the tablet itself. It takes some getting used to, but when I'm penning it and I have the touch turned off it seems to work best for me. And by putting it in this position I can move it around better as the cord doesn't get in my way! Also, if you are a leftie, you can ask Carolyn. She's a leftie too, but I'm not sure her tablet (which is much older) can be set to a left hand configuration. At any rate, when you set it up for a left hander, it puts the buttons on the right so that would make them accessible to the right hand!

Now that I've made that clear as mud!

Oh Carolyn - see how you have rubbed off on me? First "Cool Beans" (which if you don't know, she says all the time, and now the "clear as mud" verbage she love to use!

[ReneT]

I haven't had a lot of time to go back and catch up a lot today, but wow, Carolyn, those are cool shots. You amaze me.

Looking at my photo of the Cadillacs, what would you have done differently? My goal was to shoot all 10 of them down the row, but was not able to do that because people kept getting in the shot, so I shot as many of them as I could without people in the frame.

[Christine]

Darn people! I have that problem all the time. Don't they know we're trying to get a good shot? LOL

[stitchmich]

No, Lisa, I am not a leftie. And yes I wish the cord were on the other side. I don't think I could manage with the buttons on the right though. I have no idea how you are doing that with your pinky! I use Enter and Tab while working too, so Iprgrammed the top two buttons for those and use my left hand. Pinky? Really?

[carolyn d]

My goal was to shoot all 10 of them down the row, but was not able to do that because people kept getting in the shot, so I shot as many of them as I could without people in the frame.he only way you could have gotten all 10 of them in the shot was using a wide angle lens! And given the circumstances with the damn people- you did fine... maybe cropped it a bit tigher in the camera so the cars filled the entire frame, but it's a matter of taste and uncluttered working distance... sometimes you have no control and do the best you can.... So basically, the image is just fine as it is ! those cars are really neat !

When you shoot your next image of that style, set it up the way you want it and then zoom in a bit more... see if you like it better ! A "guideline of thumb" (as opposed to a rule of thumb) is get close and THEN GET CLOSER !

Thanks!!! I have a hard time knowing what to do in regards to filling the whole frame or not. Sometimes when I have a photo that fills the whole frame, and then decide I want to scrap it with a round frame or anything besides a rectagle, I can't do it because the frame cuts off too much of the photo, so I wish I had left some space around the main focus of the photo. I guess the answer to that is to take lots of photos with different perspectives.

I'm not sure if I can really post that image because he can't sign any model releases due to contractual issues...so I may have to un-post the image at some point... but I just wanted to show you guys how cool that looks...

If you want to do something like that, have someone stand on a busy street, focus on them and then shoot the image when a bus goes by ! It's wicked cool... ISO 100-200, aperture priority if you want, and set that ap pretty high which will guarantee a shower shutter speed... and done !

[ReneT]

I guess the answer to that is to take lots of photos with different perspectives. Yup, if you are taking the shot to scrap, you do need more breathing room at the edges, but if not, then really fill the frame ! Ya know, you can always resize the frame and/or angle the photo so even if its a filled frame image, you can use it .

Ooooh that's a good idea, but I may be too tempted to aim at heads. Erm, did I just say that? I meant...... *whistles*

[Beachcomber]

Hey Ladies. How is everyone doing?

Last week I chaperoned on a really fun field trip with my son's class. They went to a National Marine Sanctuary. They got to catch and look at plankton through a microscope, see a starfish, crab and sea anenome (sp) eat. It was so cool. They all had a blast. They thought it was the funnest field trip ever they have been on.

It is very annoying when people walk right in front of you when you are trying to take a picture. How rude! I like Carolyn's idea of throwing a rock at their behinds. LOL

[idtwinmom]

Yeah! Like the day Carolyn was taking pics of DD at the Zoo and the lady kept standing in front of her! Like she couldn't see the honking big lens that Carolyn had in front of her and think, "Right, picture taking!" and move out of the way. I lost count of how many times Carolyn had to say something before her daughter finally intervened!

Give it time, Heather. You can't expect to be in a situation like that and just get over it. You'll feel normal again in time. :hug:

[ReneT]

Good morning girls!!!

BREAKING NEWS ALERT:

I only have to go to work for a bit today to do some paperwork!!! And that's AFTER getting my hair cut!!!! Yay!!! (of course there's always the possibility that something will have come up for me to print before I get there, but I'm ignoring that thought!) I think I'm finished with the printing for awhile!!! YAY!!!

Heather, I am sorry you are feeling so anxious. You've been through a lot, girl. Hang in there. Hugs. :hug::hug:

[Christine]

that sounds awesome Beachie and yay Rene!

[Shana34]

Good afternoon ladies! Sorry about yesterday...was just a bad day for me. :( But today's looking better so far.

Heather, your anxiety is understandable...I'm sorry you're going through that though.

Rene - woohoo! Hopefully there won't be too much to print after your appt. :D

[suvgal]

Carolyn-have been looking at Bryan's 2010 schedule and just wondering ...does he suggest places to stay or are you entirely on your own.

[carolyn d]

Carolyn-have been looking at Bryan's 2010 schedule and just wondering ...does he suggest places to stay or are you entirely on your own.he makes the hotel arrangements.. and because he is reserving multiple rooms, there is usually a discount as long as you are there during the course. .
He gets the rental vans for transport from location to location, so there is no need for a rental car as far as the course goes. if you are staying on after the course, you would need a rental.

[GrandmaCrys]

Rene, you make me smile :D Have a good weekend and enjoy Mama Mia.

HEather, glad to hear Ethan is doing well. He'll be sleeping normal soon.

Lisa, the stigma isn't because the undies are white, it's because they are GIRLS panties. :lol: I hope you got out today and got that boy some new undies!

Guess what?! I got my tablet!! :tup: so far, so good. I may not leave the computer the rest of the night. :lol:

:yahoo: :yahoo: I picked mine up from the post office last Friday! ;) 007: I'll bet you CANNOT gues where it is? :o

oh and yay to all of the new tablet users. We have to start practicing now for when Crys gets hers.

"Take it out of the box, Crys, take it out of the box!!!"

If we all do that it might take less than 6 months for her to do it. :D

How'd you guess? :p :rolleyes: :( :annoyed: :eek: :eek: :eek: :help:

Oh! Give me a break!:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I always hit buttons on accident (ask Chris :rofl:) didn't finish my post! Another ?, why are my flair buttons bigger than everyone elses?

Because you're special? :lol: :lol: :lol:


Oh my heck!! Chris your daughter is gorgeous. Terrific photo of her. I love the one of your son too. Your portrait skills are great and I love the DoF in both of them. I'm off to look at your others, and Carolyns.

Our band competition yesterday was a success! The kids did great and took home 1st place in Music, visual effect and 1st place overall. They did awards for the A and AA bands before 3A and 4A performed. The band left after awards but I stayed behind with 6 of the older kids who wanted to watch some of the bigger bands. I'm so glad we stayed. They really had fun and I really enjoyed watching the bigger bands perform.

Congrats to your band, Stitchie; they must be awesome! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :applause: :applause: :applause:

oh yeah and I think there is an explanation/picture in Bryan's book that you have and keep not reading. :lol: He even tells you what to meter off of

Geesh! Even I got that far!!! ;)

No, not so much! :rofl: Gary's more about making me laugh than making me swoon, although occasionally he'll do something romantic. :)

You're very lucky, Rene! My DH is more about making me mad! :eek: :eek: :mad: :mad: :annoyed: :annoyed: :annoyed:

You all have helped me out SO much, I don't think you'll ever know what you have all meant to me in all of this. I think I have been extra stressed because I know something is wrong with him. He cries ALL night and I am getting no sleep. It's been hard for me to make and apt. because what do I tell the doc, "he's happy all day and cries all night????" So I just said I'm taking him in and guess what, both of his ears are infected. Poor kid, I can't imagine how bad that must hurt to lay down with that kind of pain. I told the nurse I hope I don't see her again until Dec. for his well check up!

I seriously did NOT SEE THAT TREE TRUNK until u pointed it out :( thanks for showing me. hipe you did not think I was being hyper critical... it's just that if your intent is to take senior portraits etc and wish to do them as 'environmental" portraits (which is the big thing now) then you need to really watch the background for stuff like that... it can really make or break the sale. Once you take a quick reference image, look carefully in the LCD screen for these types of things.... and then reposition if necessary !

[idtwinmom]

Oops - I got sidetracked by poor Ethan!

Chris - Love that one about Only Time! You know I can't spend and yet you keep creating things I want! I just have to find a job, that's all! But it can't be too many hours, I've got scrapping to do! :lol:

[idtwinmom]

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

hhahahahhaa yes Crys take it out of the box.

Hi everyone thought I would pop in and say hello as I am heading out the dooor to work. eeek

Okay... either the forum fairies are stealing my posts or I am losing my mind. I know I posted last night after Caro, because I told her she should forget work and chat with the Gundi Girls instead. Then again, that is just how my day was yesterday. If it could go wrong, it pretty much did. Cross your fingers and whisper a prayer for me that today is better. :pray: I was so stressed out by the end of the day. So I turned my machines off, opened up PSP and scrapped a page. And I felt much better :D

Have a happy Wednesday, friends! :tup:

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:


:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry: JUST DO IT!!!!



Just DO IT too!!



You all have helped me out SO much, I don't think you'll ever know what you have all meant to me in all of this. I think I have been extra stressed because I know something is wrong with him. He cries ALL night and I am getting no sleep. It's been hard for me to make and apt. because what do I tell the doc, "he's happy all day and cries all night????" So I just said I'm taking him in and guess what, both of his ears are infected. Poor kid, I can't imagine how bad that must hurt to lay down with that kind of pain. I told the nurse I hope I don't see her again until Dec. for his well check up!



LOVE them!! A must have for me!!

Oh and "HI" caro!!

Oh my gosh, Heather; your family needs a *turn around*, sooner rather than later! :hug: :hug: :hug: How about moving next door to Chris; that would do it! :yes: :yes: :D Prayers for Ethan's fast recovery!

Would u all believe I might be getting the flu AGAIN! so unfair! But I woke up with a sore throat this am and my head has been pounding and getting worse all day :(

:yikes: :yikes: :yikes: Did you get my immune system by osmosis? :eek: :eek: :eek: Maybe that burning the candle thingie is getting to you! ;) Take care of yourself, Girlfriend; we cannot have you sick! :hug: :hug: :hug:

OK - CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW???????????????????? I VOW TO TAKE THE DARNED THING OUT OF THE BOX TONIGHT! :rolleyes: :doh: :p :p :p

Thank you Crys :hug: It's better so far. I got up and did some scrapping this morning. I never realized how much the creative juices help my stress level. So... Lesson for the Day, friends.... When work is stressing you out too much, just stop working and start scrapping! :tup: (if only that were always an option, eh?)

Crys LOL @ taking another day to plug it in. Too funny.

[ReneT]

Good morning! Hope everyone is having a great start to their day!

Michelle, I agree, scrapping always helps.

Heather I hope Ethan is feeling some better today and that you were able to get some rest last night. Glad you listened to your Mommy instincts! :hug:

Crys you are cracking me up! :lol:

No work for me today, so I may try to catch up on some laundry. Yucky, but necessary! LOL

Heather - don't ever not trust your instincts! Even if the Doc says that he's fine over the phone but you just know he's not, take him in! Poor little guy, I do believe he's been through enough!:hug::hug::hug: (for you and him!)
He has been through enough! I know, I should have listened on Monday!

Lol! I will be sure to create something ugly just for u next Lisa :rofl:

I got this email and I have been making my kids do most of these, they seem logical so we are doing them!

While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection,
in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development
of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fully highlighted in
most official communications, can be practiced (instead of focusing on how
to stock N95 or Tamiflu):

1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).

2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part
of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).

3. *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't
trust salt). *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/
nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple
gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the
same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one.
Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative
method.

4. Similar to 3 above, *clean your nostrils at least once every day with
warm salt water. *Not everybody may be good at Jala Neti or Sutra Neti (very
good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but *blowing the nose hard once a
day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water is
very effective in bringing down viral population.*


5. *Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C (Amla
and other citrus fruits). *If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets,
make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.

6. *Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can. *Drinking
warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction.
They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where
they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.
Neti pots and sinus rinse kits are available at the drug store and
relatively inexpensive..under $15.

One step at a time, please! :D


Oh my gosh, Heather; your family needs a *turn around*, sooner rather than later! :hug: :hug: :hug: How about moving next door to Chris; that would do it! :yes: :yes: :D Prayers for Ethan's fast recovery!


:rofl::rofl::rofl:, you can do 2 steps in 1 day, I know you can!!

Thanks for the prayers!

Heather I hope Ethan is feeling some better today and that you were able to get some rest last night. Glad you listened to your Mommy instincts! :hug:


Ok Rene, the news for the day, Ethan slept ALL night long! :yahoo::yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: I got sleep and I feel so much better! I can't believe how fast medicine works!!

[>>aruaL<<]

LOVE the masks and frames!!!

[>>aruaL<<]

Do you want to laugh AT me?

Well.... here I was sitting at my desk, working on my NKOTB LO. I decided that I had best stop for 5 mins, write out 4 checks (for bills) and get them mailed. So I did that, and I even decided that while I was at it, I would go mail them too. I get back from the post office and grab a glass of ice water, and return to my desk... I get all comfy, look at my screen and stare at it for a few mins trying to decide my next move on my LO. I reach out with my right hand for my tablet pen, and I start making some fixes (erasing on a layer mask). I was getting so mad trying to figure out why the heck my erasing wasn't working. I look to the left... yep, eraser is my chosen weapon... look to the right, yep I'm on the right layer... then WHAT is my problem?

Oh yes, the problem was very CLEARLY DISPLAYED when I looked DOWN at my TABLET!!

Can you even guess what the *&^%$&* I did??? Ahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!

Ah yes..... only I would do this.

Go ahead... laugh. It *is* funny!

[stitchmich]

maybe I'm slow Laura... Do you mean you had a regular pen instead of the tablet pen in your hand? If so, then you are certainly NOT the only one who would do that. :lol:

Crys, PLEASE take it out of the box and look at the FREE stuff in the box with it :yikes: Do NOT purchase the class if you have the silver tablet because it's free. OR if you've already made the purchase go ahead and just mail that free class GC to me :rofl::rofl::rofl: (I didn't get the silver one)

[>>aruaL<<]

Yep!! I already had my layer selected, my weapon chosen, etc... when I had stopped earlier.. so all I needed to do was grab my pen and keep fixing/erasing..... I didn't realize I had picked up my red ball point pen!! (I use it in my book thingy to cross off bills paid for the month). So now... I have red pen all over my tablet!! LOLOLOL!!!!!

I almost did that before with my blue one... but it actually wouldn't even write on my tablet... weird that the red one did!

Oh well... it looks all creative now!

Laura, people do that all the time at work, we use just the alcohol swabs and it comes right off. I have been tempted more than once to use a regular pen. I did something similar w/ mine. I could NOT figure out why my paint brush wasn't working, did the same thing checked my tool, layer, no selection etc, then I realized I had the pen upside down and on mine that erases instead of paints. :doh:

no I wish I were, we have a Halloween party at the church tonight and making a salad for a funeral and a ball game on Saturday and I was supposed to go to the temple tomorrow. Plus I was going to start on the 2nd Cobalt kit (speaking of which do you guys want Cobalt or Wee William after Fall Flair and after Alizarin Moments?) annnnnnnnnnd I am sure there are many more things on my list. :lol: See I can't even think very straight cuz my head is so full of guck. Had to go to work this am too, :(

Back to Alizarin it is on the way into the store, oh my heck! I LOVE it LOVE it LOVE it!!!! So up next is Fall Flair, then Alizarin, then what? I need to get whatever that one is done so I can give you it for the bonus with Alizarin. It makes it a little harder to work ahead this way. What do you guys think so far? Do you like getting the bonuses the week before?

OK I will stop rambling now. :D

Plus I was going to start on the 2nd Cobalt kit (speaking of which do you guys want Cobalt or Wee William after Fall Flair and after Alizarin Moments?) annnnnnnnnnd I am sure there are many more things on my list. :lol: See I can't even think very straight cuz my head is so full of guck. Had to go to work this am too, :(

Back to Alizarin it is on the way into the store, oh my heck! I LOVE it LOVE it LOVE it!!!! So up next is Fall Flair, then Alizarin, then what? I need to get whatever that one is done so I can give you it for the bonus with Alizarin. It makes it a little harder to work ahead this way. What do you guys think so far? Do you like getting the bonuses the week before?

OK I will stop rambling now. :D

Oh sorry you are not feeling good still. Man, that stinks, and you've got sooooooooo much going on!!! Ugh!!!

I don't care which one we do after Alizarin (can't wait to see that one!) because I have photos for both!!!! I'm good with either choice!

I like getting the bonuses this way.

I'm calling you superChris from now on! There must be extra hours in the day in Utah, cause I have no idea how you do it! LOL

As far as the kits, I would love either, but I'm going to say Wee William because I have pictures of my nephew that would go great!

Would u all believe I might be getting the flu AGAIN! so unfair! But I woke up with a sore throat this am and my head has been pounding and getting worse all day :(

Chris - Go to the Doctor!
Is that loud enough for you! Don't self-diagnose this time! It's twice in what, a month, so you need to see a Doctor and get this taken care of!

Just use the Neti Pot!! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: J/K you should see the doc. miss self diagnose!

[idtwinmom]

Okay... either the forum fairies are stealing my posts or I am losing my mind. I know I posted last night after Caro, because I told her she should forget work and chat with the Gundi Girls instead. Then again, that is just how my day was yesterday. If it could go wrong, it pretty much did. Cross your fingers and whisper a prayer for me that today is better. :pray: I was so stressed out by the end of the day. So I turned my machines off, opened up PSP and scrapped a page. And I felt much better :D

Have a happy Wednesday, friends! :tup:
So wishing I could have scrapped my bad day away yesterday! It was a total loss! Started out to take care of the kids CD's (finally) to find out that DH had never actually called the bank and we didn't have all the documentation we needed to prove they were our kids! Start back home to get it and get into a 45 minute fight with DH because I said the wrong thing about it and he decided I was being mean! Finally get lunch and head back to the bank where it takes 2 hours to open the new CDs. I have to bring everyone home and go back out! Need to exchange the Cub Scout hat I bought because it's too small and go buy groceries (not happening in my mood with the whole brood tagging along and DH agreed they really needed run time). No hat available, forgot part of the groceries, and spent our entire weeks budget at one store! OK, I did stock the freezer pretty good while I was at it, but golly it was expensive this trip. Good news, they called and the hat shipment came in and I was right next door so actually got the hat taken care of. (the only thing that did go right!)

I was so glad to come home, have dinner and do nothing more than watch TV and attach patches to the Cub Scout shirts!

That's exactly it, Shana! It's all about focus. How about this... "Happiness is like photography. It's all about the focus." :lol:
I'm stealing this to make WA and put it on a LO!

Yep!! I already had my layer selected, my weapon chosen, etc... when I had stopped earlier.. so all I needed to do was grab my pen and keep fixing/erasing..... I didn't realize I had picked up my red ball point pen!! (I use it in my book thingy to cross off bills paid for the month). So now... I have red pen all over my tablet!! LOLOLOL!!!!!

I almost did that before with my blue one... but it actually wouldn't even write on my tablet... weird that the red one did!

Oh well... it looks all creative now!

I agree. If you're already past the window of time that the anti-virals will work, why spend the money unless you need meds?

But if she just got up with it this morning, she wasn't out of the window yet! And since this is her second bout with it, seems she could really use the anti-virals and knock it out for good!

[ReneT]

She woke up with the sore throat yesterday morning, so if she was able to get into the doctor tomorrow, it would still be more than 48 hours into it, so that's past the window for the antivirals to work. When I had the flu 2 years ago, that's what my doctor told me.

well if in fact it is viral, the antivirals don't actually kill it and "save" you. They mostly just get you done w/ symptoms about 2 days sooner. And that stuff is STINKIN' EXPENSIVE! I honestly don't know if my insurance covers it or not, but lots of them aren't because people will get better with or without it, but maybe with 2 more days of symptoms. I actually started symptoms yesterday am, the thing that is so hard to judge is I have horrid allergies, so if I get stuffy or a sore throat, lots of times it is my allergies flaring up. By the time I figure out it is a sickness not allergies I am past the time they can do anything if it is viral. So usually my course of action, give it 5-7 days, do ibuprofen, pseudoephedrine etc and if I am not improving by then go in and get an antibiotic.

and yes you can get the flu twice. viruses by nature are very persnickety and mutate at an alarming rate at times. That is why you should get a flu shot every year (virus) but an MMR or DPT etc (bacterial) will last you years and years.

but it helps to know you all are wishing me well. :hug:

Oh, guess I'm a day behind! Although I popped in yesterday, it was such a bad day I really didn't get to read anything!

[Christine]

:) Its all good! I was just thinking, hmmm I stick my pen in my mouth all of the time when I just have to type for a min, do you think I have alcohol'ed that puppy down? :no:

[idtwinmom]

Well, guess that explains it! You might clean the Touch and cell phone too! I've heard they are pretty bad germ carriers.

[Christine]

ugggg and my camera too, I just always get nervous cleaning electronics. Oh! that reminds me, last year after Christmas, one of Lexi's friends (yes it was a boy, but not boyfriend) got either a Touch or an iPhone for Christmas and decided he would clean the fingerprints off by PUTTING IT IN THE SINK UNDER RUNNING WATER!!!!!

Seriously?!!! my FIVE year old knows that electronics and water don't mix, you would think a seventh grader would have that figured out! :doh:

[idtwinmom]

Oh my heck! I think even my 3 yr old would know better (probably exaggerating, but given how Daddy drills them, I may not be!) And yes, I would think your camera could stand a wipe down too!

BTW - try the Kirkland brand (Costco) of the wipes! They are cheaper, bigger and work better! And if you are at the bottom of the bottle, make sure to wring it out first! The ones on the bottom can get pretty wet!

Thanks for the tip Lisa!

You've done it again!!!! I love the colors and the elements are super cute!!!! This is kinda different!!! This is just super!!!! I'm thinking right now of what photos I'm going to use or if I need to take some!!!

I am hoping to talk my stepdaughters soon into letting me take them on a photo shoot kinda like the one I did with Drew with the railroad cars so that I can practice with my camera. I don't know if they will or not, but maybe. Plus I really need more pics of them. The only ones I have are from vacations and holidays. They hate it when I pull out the camera for no "special" reason.

Yeah, you missed it. I said it didn't really matter to me this time because I want to do both of those. Shana wants to do Wee William. She posted right after me, so I don't know if you saw that or not either. If I HAD to choose, I would pick cobalt, but I have photos for both and want to do both, so I'm gonna be easy this time. :D

Are they even giving Tamiflu to otherwise "healthy" patients where you are? I talked to some people this weekend who had been to the doc and were told to just treat the symptoms. THey were only prescribing Tamiflu to young children and elderly. My DD woke up sick this morning. She has a bad headache and sore throat. No fever yet. :(

Rene, that sounds like a great idea! I hope they let you do the photo shoot. I need to do that with my kids too. I have passed on the ugly school pictures for several years and taken their photos myself. It's time to get on that.

OMG, CHRIS!! Awesome kit! I'm off to update my wishlist. I finished 7 pages with Fall Flair! :yippee: It is seriously one of my favorite kits of all time. I'm mad at myself for not getting the VC, but I was trying to pinch my pennies. I never guessed I'd do that many pages. I don't think I have ever made 7 pages with just one kit. :tup:

Chris, those are beautiful! I love it. Can't wait to work with it. :D

You've done it again!!!! I love the colors and the elements are super cute!!!! This is kinda different!!! This is just super!!!! I'm thinking right now of what photos I'm going to use or if I need to take some!!!

I am hoping to talk my stepdaughters soon into letting me take them on a photo shoot kinda like the one I did with Drew with the railroad cars so that I can practice with my camera. I don't know if they will or not, but maybe. Plus I really need more pics of them. The only ones I have are from vacations and holidays. They hate it when I pull out the camera for no "special" reason.

I hope they let you do it! Thankfully my nephews and niece don't mind pictures, but every once in a while they don't want me to take any.

Hi guys, I'm back on 554, and will catch up soon, but not feeling too grand at the moment.

Just to let you know that all my visa's have been approved :yahoo:

:yahoo:That's great they were approved! I hope you feel better though.

[addicted]

Lisa and stitchie so sorry you were having bad days. I hope it turns around for you today.

Rene good luck with getting the pics. My dd is getting sick of me taking pics. I hope you can get them taken.

Sands congrats on the visas. So happy for you. I hope you feels
better soon.

Chris I love love love your new kit. Can't wait to play with it.

Nothing much happening here. Just working on keeping everyone healthy and trying to stay sane with not being able to get out but at least ethan is happy and healthy.

[ReneT]

Hi guys, I'm back on 554, and will catch up soon, but not feeling too grand at the moment.

Just to let you know that all my visa's have been approved :yahoo:

Yay about the Visas Sands. Hope you feel better soon! :hug:

Are they even giving Tamiflu to otherwise "healthy" patients where you are? I talked to some people this weekend who had been to the doc and were told to just treat the symptoms. THey were only prescribing Tamiflu to young children and elderly. My DD woke up sick this morning. She has a bad headache and sore throat. No fever yet. :(

Rene, that sounds like a great idea! I hope they let you do the photo shoot. I need to do that with my kids too. I have passed on the ugly school pictures for several years and taken their photos myself. It's time to get on that.

I haven't heard about the Tamiflu here. I got my flu shot, so hopefully I won't have a problem. But 2 years ago when I had the flu, I had already gotten my flu shot that year.

[GrandmaCrys]

I have never heard of a neti pot in my life! What is it? What does it do and why is it so yucky? Do I want to know?

Yay Heather for Ethan feeling better and sleeping through the night!!!! And yay that you are doing better!!! :yippee::yippee:

Shana, are you overachieving again in the BCA challenges? :lol:

I hadn't heard of it either, Rene, prior to DSP! :D Believe me, there are some things in life you're better off not knowing! ;)

no I wish I were, we have a Halloween party at the church tonight and making a salad for a funeral and a ball game on Saturday and I was supposed to go to the temple tomorrow. Plus I was going to start on the 2nd Cobalt kit (speaking of which do you guys want Cobalt or Wee William after Fall Flair and after Alizarin Moments?) annnnnnnnnnd I am sure there are many more things on my list. :lol: See I can't even think very straight cuz my head is so full of guck. Had to go to work this am too, :(

Back to Alizarin it is on the way into the store, oh my heck! I LOVE it LOVE it LOVE it!!!! So up next is Fall Flair, then Alizarin, then what? I need to get whatever that one is done so I can give you it for the bonus with Alizarin. It makes it a little harder to work ahead this way. What do you guys think so far? Do you like getting the bonuses the week before?

OK I will stop rambling now. :D

Oh, you poor you!!! :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: Hope you feel better soon. Personally, I LOVE getting the bonuses the week before. :hug: :hug:

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

TOLD YA! ;) :yikes: :yikes: :yikes:

[Christine]

Yeah, you missed it. I said it didn't really matter to me this time because I want to do both of those. Shana wants to do Wee William. She posted right after me, so I don't know if you saw that or not either. If I HAD to choose, I would pick cobalt, but I have photos for both and want to do both, so I'm gonna be easy this time. :D

that is so odd! I saw the posts, both before and after your two, but seriously didn't see that at all. :think::think::think:

Hi guys, I'm back on 554, and will catch up soon, but not feeling too grand at the moment.

oh no not you too! :( sorry you aren't feeling well but yay about the visas


I haven't heard about the Tamiflu here. I got my flu shot, so hopefully I won't have a problem. But 2 years ago when I had the flu, I had already gotten my flu shot that year.

you got your seasonal flu shot or the H1N1 flu shot? We have some in the state but the Health Department hasn't gotten enough to send it out to anybody, so you have to go to them if you want it.

[GrandmaCrys]

So wishing I could have scrapped my bad day away yesterday! It was a total loss! Started out to take care of the kids CD's (finally) to find out that DH had never actually called the bank and we didn't have all the documentation we needed to prove they were our kids! Start back home to get it and get into a 45 minute fight with DH because I said the wrong thing about it and he decided I was being mean! Finally get lunch and head back to the bank where it takes 2 hours to open the new CDs. I have to bring everyone home and go back out! Need to exchange the Cub Scout hat I bought because it's too small and go buy groceries (not happening in my mood with the whole brood tagging along and DH agreed they really needed run time). No hat available, forgot part of the groceries, and spent our entire weeks budget at one store! OK, I did stock the freezer pretty good while I was at it, but golly it was expensive this trip. Good news, they called and the hat shipment came in and I was right next door so actually got the hat taken care of. (the only thing that did go right!)

I was so glad to come home, have dinner and do nothing more than watch TV and attach patches to the Cub Scout shirts!



Well, if you get it out of the box we will all cheer!


I'm stealing this to make WA and put it on a LO!



:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::r ofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

So sorry for your troubles, Lisa. :hug: :hug: :hug: START CHEERING!! Well, it is out of the shipping box; so technically... I did sign up for the November class - at least I hope so. I clicked the link for it under *November*, but I can't see anywhere where it actually says it's for November? Am I just missing something? And are there specific November dates? If we're going to chat, etc. how do we know when to go? I got the coupon in the box, although I had expected it to leap out at me, but I actually had to go searching for it! :annoyed: :annoyed: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Sorry, Stitchie, there was only one! :(

that is Grandma Crys, ie. Crystal = Crys :D

Just my seasonal flu shot. The last I heard they didn't have the H1N1 shot yet, and the pharmacist didn't seem to know when that would be. The pharmacy I went to said they were not going to administer it because they would have to have a full time person just for the paperwork since it is so extensive. But the 24 hour pharmacies here in town are going to I think.

I just uploaded close to 200 photos from our marching band competition on Saturday. I don't know what was going on with my metering. Some turned out fantastic and some were a bit blown out. Here are a couple of my favorites....
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procgtaserv/47b9ce03b3127cce9854826efec500000035100IbtGLRm3csV
Check out the reflection in the horn. You can see the kids in their circle formation for warmups. I thought that was cool.

and how's this for a trophy!?

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procgtaserv/47b9ce03b3127cce985482defe7500000035100IbtGLRm3csV

Sorry they're so big :p

[ReneT]

Those are cool shots Michelle. That reflection is awesome and I like how he's looking to the side instead of straight on. The look on her face is priceless! She looks so proud!

[GrandmaCrys]

Gorgeous photos, Stitchie and that reflection in the horn is magnificent! Did you compose that shot? Awesome trophy, too! :D

[Christine]

yes stitchie those are awesome photos!

[addicted]

Wow, stitchie, I love the reflection that is so awesome!!

[Shana34]

Oooh gorgeous photos Stitchie! I LOVE the reflection in the horn! :D

[stitchmich]

Thanks guys! Funny story about the reflection photo... The middle school band director was with us that day. She's a really cool lady. She came up to me at some point later in the day and told me that she had noticed that reflection when they were in circle warming up. She wanted to tell me to come shoot it, but something distracted her and she didn't get to tell me at the time. I was bummed because I thought that would have been a great shot. Well, imagine my surprise when I am processing my photos and come across this shot that I didn't even know I captured. I literally screamed! I can't wait to email her a copy of it.

[idtwinmom]

OK LOOKIE LOOKIE! So excited about this one! I think it is the red that trips my trigger. LOL

Oh my heck! Heather - do you see where your gift will be spent? I just love these, and that tag with the wings is my ultra favorite!

What order did you say the challenges were in again? If I do the Autumn Flair, will I get one of these?

[idtwinmom]

Sorry about your bad day, Lisa. Does it help to know I was having an equally bad day on the opposite coast? :lol: yeah, probably not. Yesterday was a much better day for me, hopefully for you too.

Crys... Is it out of the box yet?

Lisa, as soon as I wrote that, I started planning a LO in my head! The mind of a scrapper! Maybe you can do a quote challenge for Sunday Scrappers ;)

You know what! I think that's exactly what I'm going to do!!!!!! So hold off doing (or at least don't upload) the LO. I'll make that the next challenge, so it will be in two more weeks!

[idtwinmom]

Stichie - Wow! You really are doing a fantastic job with those photos! I'm sure realizing you had captured that reflection just made your day1

Crys - please don't be mad at Chris! She didn't know because I was sneaky! Be mad at me for knowing how to ask so that someone would answer! And believe me, you guys have really made this birthday something special! Now Heather has added in her GC, so between 3 of you I can shop til I drop, and thanks to Carolyn's gift and those I can scrap til I (oh, can't think of a good rhyme, just one I really don't want to use :lol:). You guys are awesome even though I told at least 2 of you not to do what you did!

Gonna stop now so I don't cry!

It's one of my favorite layouts of all time even though I was just learning to scrap and some of the photos are distorted. We just had so much fun and laughed so much. So it was fun adding the captions to the layout.

LOL!! Rene and Shana, stop trying to act all gangsta. You just can't pull it off. :lol: Rene, those pictures are great. Who is that you have your hands all over? Is it the Rock?

[Christine]

Oh my heck! Heather - do you see where your gift will be spent? I just love these, and that tag with the wings is my ultra favorite!

What order did you say the challenges were in again? If I do the Autumn Flair, will I get one of these?

If you do Autumn Flair you get zippo, Fall Flair however is a different story. :lol: OK so here is the synopsis that you can only find here in the Chatting w/ Gundi thread :D

Tomorrow I will post the challenge for Fall Flair 1, bonus will be Alizarin 2, then the next week will be Alizarin 1, with a who knows what bonus, cuz I am too sick to design at the moment.

Speaking of sick, I am sorry to say that Nicole and I are going to cancel tonight. Her whole family is sick and my SIL (who is an MD) was going to come over tonight to see Z cuz of his birthday anyway, so she is going to listen to my lungs, which at the moment are too tight to even breathe properly, despite using my inhaler. I am betting she says it is just a virus and get some rest, but if not she will call in an rx to dh so he can bring it home. We will resume 2 Crazy Chicks in two weeks, just like normal.

[Christine]

oh and just fyi, Lisa, those wings are separate so you can do the tag or without, also the heart brad is separate so you can use it to hang stuff or w/ the little frame or whatever else you want
