a bunch of Hawaii layouts I completed a few weekends ago. Here is my favorite. The rest are in the my layouts album. You need to click on the image to get the full view.
These layouts were really more about the photos. I am loving my NEW camera. Especially now that I figured out how to get rid of my blue pictures :-)
Ok, so since I last wrote (and YES I know it has been awhile) we sold our house, bought a new house and are about to embark on huge home remodeling project in the new house. I will save all the details on the home remodeling project for a later time, when I have photos to tell the story.
Today, we took Gabriel to the Cetronia Fire Station. I am fortunate to have a customer who has been a volunteer firefighter there for over 14 years. She invited us to bring Gabe so he could check it out. He was overwhelmed with excitment and joy. The photos really tell the story! Thank you so much Melissa, for making a little boy's day, week and even month! (BTW Gabe thinks that you live there and keeps asking to go back to Melissa's house! AND we decided that visiting the fire trucks again, is a great bribe for successful potty training, so depending on how much he wants to come back again, we may have to see you soon...let's hope!)
So the captions are: Melissa in her gear, while Gabe not so enthusied; Gabe loves Melissa's hat, but it is really heavy and he needs to hold it on; Riding in a fire truck, makes me smile my biggest smile; Playing with a hose and water...a boy's dream; Driving a fire truck is almost as fun as riding in one; Oh, Mom and Dad were there too!
Ok, so the other thing that happened was Gabe decided not to nap like 4 days this week, so I still want to upload some shot of what I was scrappin' the other weekend. I might even get to that later tonight. I promise. I just about finished our Hawaii album!
Even more exciting for me...today I figured out why all my pictures were coming out blue when I was using the full manual setting on my DigiSLR. It is still sort of a new toy. Sometime when we were in Hawaii all my manual pictures were coming out blue. Today (only 4 months later) I realized that my white balance setting was completely on something weird. I don't even know what the symbols stand for, but I fixed it today (not until after the fire truck pictures) but I am just happy I finally figured it out. I like playing with my manual settings. But man was I stumped for a long time!
Phew...I made it in the nick of time. Just got back from our Cinco de Mayo/National Scrapbook Day Crop. WHAT A BLAST! Yes, and I did scrapbook almost the entire time. The pinata is smashed, the margaritas are drunk, the enchiladas are eaten and there are tiny scraps of paper all over the crop room floor. What a productive day! I will share some of my layouts next week, once I get some sleep. Happy NSD to all of you! I hope you all got to do something scrapbooking related today.
Oh, and be sure to check out the QuicKutz specials we are running from now until May 15th! They are great deals for Mother's Day or just a special gift to yourself. Click here, for the details.
Had a birthday yesterday. Kind of an uneventful day, but a birthday none the less. Highlights were...errands with Gabe, a haircut, lunch at my parents, sushi dinner (my husband brought home, as a surprise) and a drink with a friend at night.
Thanks to all of you who particiapated in the survery. Got some thank you comments from some of the participants so I guess the presents have been arriving. I sent all of them some flowers w/ large pebbles from making memories. One of the new products that we recently got in.
This weekend is national scrapbook day and our cinco de mayo crop. I am scrapbooking. How excited am I. Well, maybe you don't know this, but I am super, dooper excited. I haven't scrapbooked without a specific project in a really long time. I get to play, do and use whatever product I want this weekend. How fun is that! I promise to post some new layouts next week. Hopefully I will be as productive as I wish I am.
I guess I better start packing my stuff, so I can be organized. It definitely helps to be organized in order to get things done.
