I’ve got a lot of fun stuff I want to work on here in the fortress of solitude (changing name from batcave for now…) this weekend. So will I have interesting things to blog? Probably not. But it’s ok. Why? Because instead of blogging I’ll post random musings on twitter. If you want to check it out, you can look here:  https://twitter.com/mayf

I got the idea because Ree (aka pioneer woman) is doing twitter updates on her July 4th cooking, and it gave me the idea that it would be fun to play with for the weekend. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Here are some pages I made this afternoon with www.studiocalico.com ‘s April kit…

So love the green felt rick rack, the papers, the die cut journaling cards… so fun! off to play some more now…

PS- always wanted to use that cutie deer paper and didn’t know how… this so worked! Cut into strips I got the pretty deer, and my dear girls. (yes, color me cheesy for using a dear title with deer… but I wanted to!)

Congrats to Terri in KS- you won my monday prize! Just shoot me an e-mail (mflaum@comcast.net) and claim it!

Here’s my happy and patriotic girlies. My hands are tired – I’ve finished a 16 page word document (see sneak peeks below… they’re related to it) So I’m taking a day or two off from writing. Instead- I leave you with this cutie pic of the girls. We’re having our festivities today and tomorrow (since Jason works the 4th) so I’ll see you later!

ps- issue with netflix continues…

Ok, so I’m being overly dramatic. There are no spies or double agents here. I didn’t get my netflix- remember? (yeah still having a bitter party over that) But I do have secrets… and since I’m in the middle of uploading my files to big picture scrapbooking (for my fall ALL NEW class…) I thought I’d share a few secret sneak peeks. Wanna see?

but you didn’t see it here… (wink)

I never watched Sex & the city on HBO. Why? We don’t have HBO! Instead, after they were all available on DVD and I was pregnant and in bed I rented them. Oh, it was love at first season. One night I stayed up the ENTIRE night without realizing it because I was so busy watching (and loving) every episode.

This introduced me to the concept- and love- that I have of watching TV on dvd verses trying to keep up with all the shows and having to wait for the next episode. No need to wait for me- I got to see every last episode on my terms. I devoured it, and loved it.

Now last year I watched the Gilmore Girls, only difference is that this time I had netflix!!! Ah the joys, and the pain when netflix didn’t deliver on the exact date I wanted! But still- I loved the show and enjoyed watching at my own pace.

In case you’re wondering why I’m writing about shows I have watched, it’s because I’ve now got a new show. Alias. Oh I really like Sydney. I like the whole girl spy scene. Ever since Nancy Drew. I had been thinking that I was in need of a good girl spy/bad ass in my life. I’ve read Olivia Joules too many times to count, and there aren’t any movies that I’m crazy about… so I thought I’d try out Alias. No it’s not realistic and my husband would HATE it. That’s a good thing. It’s enjoyable for me though- and that’s all I care about when it comes to TV in my DVD player.

problem? Season 2 disk 2 didn’t arrive today. That means there is no Sydney to stay up late and scrap the night away with me.

{insert mini-pity-party and pout here}

 Now what am I going to watch? One of the things I love about the Alias DVD’s is that it’s a 4-episode block. Changing the DVD every 3 1/2hrs, not every 1 1/2 like a movie!!! I just don’t know what I’ll do now. In case you haven’t figured out what I’m saying here… I *MUST* have TV/movie on to listen to while I create. If I am not insprired to watch something, then I’m unable to start creating.

freaky, no?

wish me luck…

 

Nothing like a Monday, I always say. This one is no exception. Why do I love the crazy insanity of a Monday? I don’t know, but I do. Errands, phone calls, work. Boy when the 30th falls on a Monday it’s insane! I’ve got some work to do, but first a photo of Rebecca:

Can someone tell her that I need her to nap like a good girl today? Seriously. This mommy is working like mad today- and it feels great! But I need wee girl sleepy time to make some stuff happen. Also, I’m feeling all ‘red white and blue’ this week, so I’m going to put together one of those fun flat-rate priority boxes full of goodies. I’d tell you what is inside but I haven’t filled it yet. If you want it just leave a comment on this post.

oh- and happy Monday!
