Welcome Fi!
Wheeee!
But before we say goodbye to '08, let's first wrap up the holiday season with a photo collage. We have one holiday party at the Spy Museum, complete with us in our James Bond poses. (Though no Bond woman would ever have the kind of arms displayed here. Eeek!) That's follow by a trip to the National Gallery of Art, cute kids, Christmas tree hunting, wrapped presents and a visit to the parental units' abode.
Hi All
I'll be teaching this Merry star book class at Scrapbooks Plus on Dec. 20. Come and play with me! Here's the 411:
Wow. Where is the year going? It almost seems like fall's almost over. Did it even start? It's been hotter than usual out here on the East Coast so I'm afraid our fall days will be pretty short. But I did get to celebrate a little with some cool scrappin' paper from design team member Lisa Hausman. She put together a kit that included Creative Imaginations, Basic Grey and My Mind's Eye. Here's what I came up with:
Jeanette tagged me to take this quiz, so here we go.
A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs & replace any question that they dislike with a new question.
B) Tag 8 people to do this quiz.
1.How many songs are on your iPod?
693 along with 18 videos 1,658 photos, a few audiobooks and a bunch of podcasts.
2. What music do you want played at your wedding?
We went with "It Had to Be You," by Harry Connick Jr.
3.What magazines do you have subscriptions to?
Simple Scrapbooks, Washingtonian, Creating Keepsakes, Real Simple.
4. What is your favorite scent?
Vanilla. Or chocolate chip cookies baking.
5. If you had a million dollars that you could only spend on yourself, what would you do with it?
I'd by a summer place in the Caribbean. Then I'd buy some new couches. Then I'd go on a vaca with John to Australia and New Zealand. Oh, and a big TV for the living room. I'm sure I could think of more.
6. What is your theme song?
I don't have one. Maybe the theme from "X-Files." LOL.
7. Do you trust easily?
Depends on the person.
8. Do you generally think before you act, or act before you think?
Sometimes I'm really spontaneous while at other times I want full details before taking action.
9.Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
I'm sure there's plenty. :)
10. Do you have a good body-image?
Depends on the day and the shoes.
11. Is being tagged fun?
Yup, it's fun answering the questions, even if I don't know the answers. LOL.
12. How do you spend your social networking (Facebook, etc.) time?
LiveJournal, Facebook, Flickr.
13. What have you been seriously addicted to lately?
Diet Cokes and onion bagels. And I'm craving chocolate chip cookies at the moment. Oh, and I'm all about the cupcake trend. And, I love "True Blood," based on the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris. I have a feeling the Stephanie Plum mystery series will also suck me in.
14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
Very friendly, creative and giving. She's my shopping go-to gal. Not to mention my link gal. We met at Scrapbowl 2007 when I dorkily asked her if I could take a picture with her.
15. What’s the last song that got stuck in your head?
"Winding Road," by Bonnie Somerville, off the "Garden State" soundtrack.
16.What’s your favorite item of clothing?
On hot days, my Nike shorts. On cool days, a nice pair of sweats. (This is if I'm staying in.)
17. Do you think brownies are yummy?
Sorry, Jeanette. I changed that one. :) I love brownies, especially the ones filled with chocolate chips.
18. What would you do if you see saw $100 lying on the ground?
Pick it up, see if anyone's frantically looking for it. Most likely I'd keep it, especially if I couldn't find the owner.
19. What items could you not go without during the day?
20. What should you be doing right now?
Going to sleep.
I'm tagging anybody who reads this.
When we first moved in, we had a huge list of things we wanted to do to the house. Okay, not exactly huge, but we had some goals, like every new homeowner. One of the goals was to put a patio out back. While some of the goals died (such as the brilliant idea to have a built-in armoire/bookcase added to the bedroom. Really, it would've been crazy and would've made the room look strange.), the patio goal was always at the top of the list and never forgotten.
