Rainy Days and Sunday....

Always bring me down ...NOT! I love rainy days. Can't really go anywhere, do anything. Have to lay low and read the paper and drink coffee and hang with my baby (or babies...depending on who is here.) So I am working on my spring reorganizing project. Got one set of shelves up. Working on the bookcases. Throwing thing away and thinking about what I have. Enjoying it. Hate that I have to go back to reality tomorrow. Of course that's what pays the rainy days laziness...:-)

I love this quiz that they run every month on Studio Calico...I thought I'd give it a shot...

When I was a child... I loved reading so much my family would lose me for hours....reading and playing with my dolls.

I can't imagine my life without... my camera and my doggie

I would love to win a shopping spree to... this is a tough one...Target or a photography store

If I could be anywhere, I'd be… waking up on the shores of Lake Travis....

My least favorite chore is... cleaning...I like a clean organized place and hate doing it!

If a mystery package arrived on my doorstep, I'd hope it would be... an F2.8 zoom lens

My guilty pleasure is... ice cream..vanilla bean or moose tracks

If a genie granted me three wishes, I’d wish for... Daniel and Christina with me always, health and the ability to use my creative skills as my source of income...

You would never guess it, but I... am the oldest and the only daughter of a family of five (okay maybe you would guess that if you knew me, the nurturer:)

The Golden Ticket

I have no idea why it came to be called this...i guess because they became as scarce for awhile as gold..but Amy and I got our Golden Ticket yesterday when we were invited back to Creative Escape.
Creative Escape is like the nirvana of scrapping and crafting events. You are literally treated like a princess for four days..it rocks. We get gifts and sing and eat mexican food and chocolate and work with paper and paste and scissors (sometimes soldering metal) and it so SOOOOO fun. Nothing like it.
The fact that i get to do it with my best friend does not hurt.
So, silly as it sounds, i have been praying to be part of this therapeautic experience again this year. Yesterday, at 5:30, we got the ticket. I can barely wait....:-) Sweet Escape here we come ...again!

Yes, it is April...Five on the 5th




Don't rub your eyes...it is indeed April. And that is snow...up to 2" before tomorrow morning, they say. (And I am one of those people who will bug you relentlessly to identify who "they" is.....)

Anyway, the weather has created one of those laid back barely out of my pj days...so here you go...5 on the snowy 5th...
5. Sunday paper, coffee...
4. Facebook quizzes: where else can you reconnect with friends from all over (yes, I am just friends with these people..good grief!) and take a quiz on what 80's song best describes you, what character you were in Steel Magnolias (Julie Roberts), What Character you are in the Wizard of Oz (Dorothy) and join an online sorority house. Who knew?
3. Crafting away...finishing easter cards, welcome signs and some special chocolate treats for special people
2. Continuation of Spring Cleaning (bag it all up, baby)
1. watch the snow come down.....will it ever end!

Happy Sunday...
