LWW Scrappers February Meeting

We had a nice little meeting yesterday! We only had three there, but another member stopped by before the meeting was over, too. We had fun! We played with the Cricut, and shared supplies and learned new techniques from each other! I am happy we started this little group. Here are some pics from yesterday:

Here's Kristi's son, Dalton, working on his canvas bag art piece:



Here we are, helping Dalton use Glimmer Mist! :D



And Kristi showing Dalton how to mist:



More misting:



Here we all are, just chatting:





Thanks to Brian for taking the pics!! :D

Here's the layout I got done:



Looking forward to the next meeting! :D

My Scrap Space

How very cool--my scrap space is featured today on the Scrap n' Art Blog! Check it out!

Right now...

My tooth aches. :(

Appointment with dentist on March 10th. Hope they can work me in sooner. Advil is doing its best to keep the pain at bay. Hope it can keep helping me.

Or else...I might have to go looking for these.



Just kidding, of course. Maybe. :D

*****UPDATE*****
I am seeing the dentist on Tuesday, March 2nd!! Yay!!! Ready to get this taken care of and OVER WITH!!!

Sharesies

I haven't shared any work in a while! Sorry 'bout that. Most of my work lately has been for Scrap n' Art, so I can't share it just yet! :D

I do have a project up on the Scrap n' Art Blog today if you want to check it out!

But here are a few things I did recently, just for fun!

A couple layouts (you can click the pictures to enlarge for detail):





And cards:





And here's a little box I altered--it was featured on the Scrap n' Art blog a few weeks ago. I made it for Brian to keep all his little bits and pieces in when he's soldering or doing man-crafts. :D



So, that's a little of what I've been up to lately! I'm currently jumping into another round of DT work for Scrap n' Art (May/June issue). But I will try to post work more!! Thanks for looking!

View From My Desk

This sweet girl is so adorable. She just comes into the office, lies down on the floor, crosses her little paws and stares at me.




She is a little slow, as in, she rode the short bus to our house. But she is precious. Sometimes she jumps into the windowsill and smashes her head against the window glass. She can't help it. She is just a little slow.

I often ask her what's in there, under those spots between her ears. She and I both know the answer is "not much". Marshmallow fluff? Bless her heart.

We love her even more because she's "special". She can't meow; she only grunts. She has problems, but she's our sweet baby.



Her sweet little pink nose gets me every time. :D

More Snow Pictures!!

Can you tell we don't get snow often?! :D Here are some pics we got today, before everything melted.



























As you can see, we had lots of fun photographing the snow. Can't wait till the next snow day!

Wow, What An Exciting Week!

This week, Brian was on vacation. Monday was our anniversary (13 years!). Tuesday, Mama and Ginger came to spend the night for...Wednesday, which was IKEA Day!! Thursday was a rest day (and I had an awful migraine the whole day, ugh!) and then today, Friday, we got SNOW in Middle Georgia!!! Again! For the second year in a row! That is extremely rare. Today's snowfall was much more than last year's, however.

Here are some photos to recap the highlights of the week:

IKEA!!! We took our new 50 mm prime lens with us and captured some really great photos.

Here is IKEA from the car as we were driving up. I was so excited to see my IKEA again that I had to snap a picture!! :D



Here's a shot Brian took of me at one of the dining room settings in one of the sample rooms. I'm a little out of focus, but I think it looks cool.



Here are more similar photos, of Ginger and Mama:





Here's one I took of Brian:



And one he took of me:



Here's a shot of our awesome lunch at the IKEA Restaurant:



Oh, IKEA, how I love thee.



There are more artsy and cool photos on Brian's blog. Check them out!!

Then, today was a very rare snow day!!! This happens so infrequently in central Georgia. We did have snow last year, but this snowfall today was a lot more than that. We had so much fun, taking pics, video, and building a snowgirl named Maude.

Here are some photos from the day:



















So, those were the highlights of our week. It was fun, but it went by way too fast!!

Hope you all had a fun week as well.

Let This Be Our Destiny...

Thirteen years ago today, I married my best friend and soulmate. We are very blessed and lucky, because every day is full of love and happiness together. Not a lot of people have that.


Our wedding invitation and reception napkins shared a sentiment that would turn out to be a promise, a vow all its own to the way we live our lives together. It was true then, and it's still true today.


It reads:

Let this be our destiny...
To love, to live
To begin each new day together,
to share our
lives forever



And we have. And we will. Until forever.



Happy Anniversary to my best friend and love of my life.
