eh

more layouts, if there’s anyone out there that reads this.

my nephew

husband

these were some collages I made, inspired from an article in an old Somerset Sew I came across.  I’m going to make a big collection of them and hang them in the kitchen.

I’ve been soooo busy lately. Costuming play after play for school. Working, filling up on my Joss Whedon quotient. Has anyone been watching Dollhouse? It’s pretty good right??

it’s time

some layouts I finished a while ago. I don’t know that I’m really happy with any of them. the lighting is bad and the cardboard I use to support them when taking pictures is getting warped so all the layouts looked bowed. sigh

this one doesn’t seem finished, does it? I wasn’t feeling it any longer so I just stopped.

he is just too cute! too bad this layout is so square and boring

This is of my friend’s little doggie, Pixie. She’s so hyper. I get lazy when it comes to unfinished chipboard. Unfinished = done.

Me and my girlfriends at Knott’s Berry Farm. We were chaperone’s for Glenda’s students. I thought that was pretty funny. Me, a chaperone?

My little niece, trying on my sunglasses.

And then, I pulled out an old copy of Somerset Sew and was so inspired!

my wire work needs a little help, but I was really pleased. I think I’m going to give this spool to a friend.

phew! it feels good to post again. I’ve missed you little bloggy!

oh my sainted aunt

I just watched The Philadelphia Story the other night and they had the most wonderful sayings that I would like to bring back.

Several things on my mind lately:

• The new Harry Potter trailer is so exciting! I can’t wait!
• I trimmed my bangs in a rage, and I’m severely, severely regretting it.
• My illustrations are getting better. Not so ashamed of my drawings anymore
• Good friends who’ve helped me out. One just got me a gig as a stylist for a PSA, and another gave me a textbook for class.
• making stuff lately. Will have to update with pictures. But I’ve been scrapping, and making collages. It’s been really fun!

Been meaning to post, but we lost internet and phone lines due to the rain. The one downside to this wonderful weather! It’s dark and cold, the sky is a beautiful color of blue… I love it. I can finally use these babies

I’ve finally gotten back to the scrapbooking. Now that the play I was designing is over, I can focus on other things. And I took advantage of 30 free prints at snapfish, and now I have a ton of pictures to choose from, which makes things so much easier.

This is James, a good friend of mine’s first son. He is so adorable. And so laid back. I don’t think he cried once while we visited.

James and I making silly faces, while my nephew took photos. I can’t remember what we were doing – acting like dinosaurs??
