anticpatory glee . . .

This morning is the sign up for Jessica Sprague's Scrapbook Alchemy class. I am so looking forward to this class and typing up a storm with little gooey fingers. The perfect marriage . . .
hybridosity. Hooray.

On another front, Lynn Weber over at debbiehodges.com is offering an intermediate editing class on things like removing wrinkles and turkey neck. I need this. And it's one heck of a lot cheaper than botox or a face lift. Heck, do a face lift on me and my nose may stop visiting my chin and go back where it belongs. The foibles of old age.

So I am excited. New goodies to learn. And of course if I am busy learning, I can't possibly be off weeding, cleaning and other various and sundry chores not on top of my favorite things to do list. Now can I?

the zoo be done . . .

Thanks for being patient while I worked on the zoo album. Piece by piece. It is finally done and bound. So much fun.

and the last page. Bear. OK, so he wasn't really at the zoo that day and he really isn't a b.e.a.r. . . . but don't tell him. He thinks he is a wild and woolly bear of epic proportions.

playtime . . .

Sometimes I just don't want to play by the rules. Today was one of them. So I took Katie's shot of our Scottie door stop, duplicated him and dumped him into his very own doggy yard with a little help from: Lynn Mare Favreau, Summer Driggs, Julia Makotinsky, Fei, Cinnamon, Danielle, and some of my own flowers. So there!

texture tantrum . . .

Here's my entry for this periods Texture Challenge. Although I don't get the rich textures and colors that Veevs and the crew get, I really like working them

Mad Skillz . . .

Taking a little Mad Digital Skillz class from Pattie Knox over at www.debbiehodge.com while waiting for Jessica Sprague's Alchemy class to start on the 30th. Today's lesson was on removing parts of overlapping elements such as paper clips. Fun stuff.
