And I'm Spent...

I finished the Harry Potter book this morning. I probably would have had it done a lot sooner but I made myself put it down and not ignore the world around me while I read it.

It was good. Now if you haven't read it click away now cause I don't want to spoil it for anyone so I will try really hard to be cryptic but I was so happy the way Snape's character ended up. I cried for about 2 chapters near the end.

I have to give her proper credit JK Rollings did an excellent job with the books and sad as I am to have Harry Potter over I can't wait until my kids are older and I can read it with them again.

The new Harry Potter book.

I have been reading it since I got back from my Chicago CHA vacation and it is really good so far but VERY different from the other ones. Amazingly I didn't finish it all yesterday, I was just so tired and found myself dozing off at parts since I didn't sleep really good while on the road and stuff. But I definately made up for it last night and I will try to get some more read today. I can't wait to see how it ends. Still hope Dumbledor is alive and I hope that Snape ends up a good guy in the end.

My favorite layout

I am so impressed that this actually turned out just like I pictured it in my head!!

This is the layout that I did for the brick and mortar ScrapAddict store in Plainfield IL.

Poor neglected blog.

Man things have been running here and I have again been neglecting my blog.

What's Up...
1. I got a new keyboard for when I get my big screen TV/monitor and I am not sure I like it yet. It is a Microsoft one made for the media center and A. it is smaller than I am used to, B. has no number pad which I miss, and C. since I am still using my 19 inch monitor and this thing is made to sit on my lap it skips letters when I type. And another annoying thing is there is a button above the backspace that I keep hitting and it takes me back to the beginning of the line.

2. BIL and his wife were in town visiting. It was fun. We did the Riverwalk, Sea World, Splashtown. I have multiple sunburns to prove it.

3. Working around the house. We finally settled on a interior color we both like. It is called Pear and is a really light yellow. That will be the color of the walls inside most rooms. Also got new lights for a couple of rooms. New outlet and ligh switches. And best of all new faucets. Still need to dig up some trees in the back. And put in closet organizers.

4. Been dabbling with digital again. My friend Lacey told me to check out a call for a hybrid scrapper and while I would love to try out I don't think I am good enough with my digital skills. But it was a push to get me back playing with it which I needed.

Other than that I have been scrapping when I can and working with my oldest son on his ABCs and 123s gettting ready for kindergarten. I am also trying to work on making my own camera bag to take with me on my trip to CHA next week.


This is my new desktop. No I didn't make it, just the pictures. Downloaded the desktop at Shabby Princess one of my favorite digital scrapping places. These things are so simple all you have to do is know how to download it and then put your pictures in it.

Just not much new here.

Let's see it rained and we were stuck inside.
And it rained and we were stuck inside.

Did I mention that it has been raining.

At least when it rains I can scrap but I got to say I miss having my TV in my scrap room. Yes I have one in there but it isn't hooked up to the satelitte so I can either listen to Star Wars Playstation games (ala hubby and DS#1) or I can watch movies.

Well I have gotten a couple things done but nothing worthy to show you!!
