Computer Woes

Whew!  Things are starting to move again, but it’s been a tense couple of days/week.  The power supply on our server went out and it’s one of those things that takes a while to diagnose and correct.  I guess it was better that it was a holiday weekend so things weren’t too interrupted, but still!  When you have computer (or any kind of life altering!) issues, it’s always so nice to have things back in working order.  Since it’s been a full week, we can just pick up where we left off.  Yay Stefani, our latest winner!  heehee  :)

Tomorrow will be our next Thursday Review – see you then!

Finally Up

Here’s what I did using the sketch on page 130 in the Go-to-Sketches idea book from last week’s review.  I’ve really been feeling the pull of scrapbooking, so I took the sketch and turned it into a layout.  This idea book really got the mojo flowing, so it was easy to get inspiration and get moving.

I also incorporated a challenge from the Papertrey Ink forum – Papertrey Pages June Challenge – which was to create your own background paper using stamps.  I did that with the stamps around the edge of the circle cut-out.  I also made my own patterned paper that I used for to mat the photo and also for the strip at the bottom.  Of course, my signature bird is there as always, too.  :)

Very happy with how this turned out, even with a slightly blurry pic.  Love the glitter strip at the bottom.  Definitely a girlie touch.  With all boys in our house, it’s fun to do a girlie layout of my niece.  Needs more pink, though.  hahaha  She’d just started smiling and showing her personality in January, so I was excited to find this picture when I downloaded a batch from their visit!

Was going to wait to past this until I could get the cards I did up, too, but decided to get this up for now since it looks like the rest will have to wait a little longer than planned.  We have to get on the road to go to my grandfather’s 88th birthday party & there’s lots to do to get everybody ready!  Have a great weekend, everybody!  :)

Spring Break

The big boys and I are on Spring Break this week.  Finished the last of my homework this afternoon, so now it’s official for all of us!  Catching up with family in San Antonio this weekend and then who knows what the rest of the week will bring.  It’s REALLY great to be able to be off with the boys – something I’ve wanted since Aydyn started school.  So, this is just a quick update and I’ll share some pics as soon as I get them onto the computer to play with.  I hope everyone’s starting to get some spring weather, even if it’s just some sunshine for now!

Starting to feel like spring

I’m a warm weather girl and this winter has been pretty COLD, so I’m glad that it’s starting to feel like spring around here.  Still cold in the mornings but warming up nicely in the afternoons.  I’m still wearing long sleeves and jeans, though, since it’s just warmER, not warm enough.  Doesn’t take long for the chill to return in the evenings – especially when you’re a wimp like me.  The boys decided today was officially the beginning of shorts weather.  The birds have been around for a couple of weeks.  Windows open to hear yards being cut.  Definitely starting to feel like spring.
