Challenge #4 Found Object from Junk Drawer - Paper Clips

I don't ever use paper clips on my los (too many other goods to use up in my supplies); but there wasn't much in the junk drawer to use.

Challenge #3 One Sketch Two Ways

I LOVE to use sketches, created by someone else! So, I used this sketch (using the same cs as a base) to create a mostly boy lo and a girl lo! What do you think?

Challenge # 2 Velcro Color Combo Inspiration

Here I used Velcro packaging as inspiration for a lo using some pictures of Kate (and Kevin) at ESPN Zone at Downtown Disney in Anaheim. I am pleased how this layout turned out! I even used Velcro on the layout to adhere the Disneyland white logo! Clever, don't you think?!

Challenges for the Online Crop

I scraplifted Dedra Long from the AMM Design team.

AMM online crop

I have been participating in AMM online crop this weekend. So fun! The best part are the challenges; they have forced me to scrap some old pics which is always a good thing. I will post some pics of the layouts after I finish the last one. Kate went to the most adorable 4 yo girl party, a fairy princess party, yesterday. She had such a good time...her birthday is Tuesday and I haven't figured out what to do for her...I know, a bit late in the game so to speak! Suggestions welcome!

Here is my latest entry for the thisismechallenge blog: post a secret! I used a cool stamp that says PostCard in reference to the PostCard book and website where people send in their anonymous secrets...http://postsecret.blogspot.com/

Mac

My ibook is on its last legs I think...so sad...I turn it on, it acts like it is loading...and it turns BLUE! So, I have to wait a while, a long while, and turn it on and it works for a while, then...it freezes. ARRRGGGGHHHH! So, I am working on Kevin's laptop right now, I really need to get a new computer. I have been trying to back up all my stuff, but having trouble doing it because it keeps freezing! This is when having a teacher's salary is so not cool because I don't get a real paycheck for a month more! I have had my computer for almost 3 years, it's been dropped at least eight times, but I just can't believe the trouble I have had. So, do I buy another Mac laptop or do I go with a Mac desktop...I am really leaning towards the desktop because I feel like it would last longer. I am even considering the Mac mini to which Kevin replies, "Don't be so cheap!" Me cheap? He clearly hasn't been paying attention! LOL But, actually I am always looking for a deal, so I can buy more! Suggestions are really appreciated!

My playlist

For the thisisme blog...I had to create a playlist of songs I enjoy...boy, do I have some random choices. I pretty much like any genre of music, although rap is my least favorite. I guess I am a lit bit country and a lot more rock and roll! I like to go on Elsie Flannigan's blog to see her latest picks, they seem to match my tastes pretty well. Recently, I downloaded Sixpence None the Richer after seeing it on her blog...completely forgot about this 80s band. I am really enjoying it.
