Five excuses for not blogging:
1. My birthday! Thursday was the big day. I got sparkly purple Converse lo-tops, and a Flip HD Ultra. Expect to see a lot of both in the future. :)
2. This girl, Jennifer Louden. She was in town for several days, and we had a blast brainstorming and developing some new ideas for her awesome business. No matter what challenge I'm dealing with, Jen helps me filter through the junk to get to the essence of ME. And then I feel good about it! MAGIC! We spent three days jumping on and off furniture, laughing until tea spewed out of our noses, and trying to hula-hoop. Good times.
3. No internet. Our modem died, but now we have a new one. I won't tell you how painful it was to be off-line for several days. I drove around town trying to pick up a free wi-fi signal!
4. Sick kids. All kinds of sick. 'Nuff said.
5. Layout a Day Challenge! We've got thousands of layouts in the gallery. Go, us! It's been awesome, as always.
What have you been up to lately?
was wondering where you were - thought you ran out of stuff to say.

TOTALLY WORTH IT!

Happy Birthday!
I am sorry to hear your family has been sick - that's rotten.
I'm getting my boys back into their homeschool routine after a very shaky few months due to illness, surgery etc. It's so good to get back to a schedule but there's been some resistance.

Glad you are back and Happy Birthday! I was in Lain withdrawal! :) We have had so much snow here-like more than two feet that I need to go to the airport and fly someplace warm. Today is the first day since Feb. 4th that the sun has been out. Yeah! Hope your kids are better.

We are in the reno mode here in Grand Rapids, MI. My husband surprised me by telling me that my horrible, pieced together craft room was getting gutted and all new storage that I helped draw out was getting installed! Que the celestial chorus..... Now the time of finding a place for everything and finding bins and baskets has begun. It is a beautiful space and can't wait to create again!

I have loved this LOAD opportunity. I have done a l/o a day in a BPS class once before and it is hard work!
I am not sure I could do it more than once a year (crazies!), but it has been really fun to be more devoted to my stash/pics/stories and to really get crazy about putting out the pages.
I have a list now of all the things to get done once March 1 comes around!
