Tune Crazy

I really should make a better effort to buy music when life is going gang busters... I have a tendency to only buy music when I'm sad or melancholy... and yesterday was no exception... I bought 47 downloads from iTunes converted them to mp3 so I can share them here on my blog and renamed those mp3's so they would show properly on my little bPod over there in the right column. Then I uploaded them to my server and updated my iPod... yes.. it DID take up MOST of the day! I've found a couple a really good indy bands/artists over at myspace... yes I have updated my play list... 4 songs (I think) dedicated to my old DJ friend(s) So this is what I got...

Bridge Over Calm Waters

Yesterday I decided I needed to go on a photo outing. I knew exactly where I wanted to go. On the river less than 40 miles from here (up the mountain)there is a state park with a 150 year old wood covered bridge and in the 15 years I have been here,I have never seen it! So Off I went... here are some of the photos!



I dunno the pictures are nice and clear on my computer.. but the slide looks fuzzy to me...

Hello Kitty

I came across a template challenge being hosted by Kim Carothers at BHG for the scrap-a-faire. While reading about it on Kim's blog, I saw this photo of her daughter Kasy and thought it was too adorable NOT to scrap!



I used the Ashalee and Sweet Collab kit Karma from their shop Ashalee and Sweet. The kit is made with bright vibrant colors and I really wanted to show them off; but, alas, I succumbed to the urge to desat. On the doodle (from the kit) and the frame (from the template) I used Sweets party glitter style I then beveled added texture and drop shadow to give them the look of glitter glue. Font: HELTERSKEL TER I would LOVE it if you could stop buy the BHG Scrapbooks ETC. Scrap-a-faire designer challenge gallery to recommend and rate my layout. (and leave me love?) thanks!
