The Negligent Blogger

Yes, yes... I know I've been pretty slack with my posts as of late. But I'm a busy girl. Busy, busy, busy! Like just last night I spent three hours weaving one of Sketch's fur balls into a pot holder. The evening before, I ran a bathtub full of cold water, added some ice blocks and floated around on a piece of Samsonite. I'll never let go, Jack. I promise. And, seriously, if I don't marathon watch all seven seasons of Gilmore Girls on DVD, who will?!

I did, however, manage to pencil some time into my busy schedule to work with My Creative Scrapbook's Album Kit for October. It required my letting go of Jack's cold, limp hand... but, eh, he was dead weight anyways.

The first layout is of my niece, Chelsea. Clearly, she inherited her Aunt Julie's sunny disposition.


Here we have another photo of Little Miss Sunshine. This time she's pictured with her older brother, Chase. Journaling reads, "I love these kids! They are such a joy to be around. They are witty, intelligent, outgoing, and enthusiastic about such a cool sampling of non-traditional teen interests that I feel so very lucky to be their aunt. How tweet it is, indeed!"

Who the heck wrote all that cheese? Perhaps I'd been floating in ice cold waters too long prior to penning those sappy words. They are cool kids though. And I do love them. I mean, I certainly wouldn't let go of them in icy waters... that is, unless they were thwarting my rescue.


And lastly, I dug out some snapshots from a side trip Dwayne and I took back in 2006 (during a week long adventure in the mountains). Journaling reads, "Well we saw Rock City. Been there... done that... bought the birdhouse. Next." Needless to say, I was less than thrilled with Rock City. And as you may suspect, I'm a virtual delight to be around when I'm bored, dripping with sarcasm and sweat, irritable, and nursing a day-glo painted gnome induced migraine. I truly believe I would've had a more enjoyable time at the World's Largest Ball of Twine.


So there ya go - some new scrappy creations and a new blog entry. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm pretty sure I saw The Heart of the Ocean circling the drain earlier.
