i'll be gone for a week
Sunday, November 20, 2005
I am so not looking forward to the week ahead. I will be in a conference the entire week, and whereas I would usually welcome these times away from the office, sadly not this time. This is going to be work, work, work. And more work. Did I already say it was going to be more work? Our day starts at 8am and ends at 7pm. Every. single. day. There is also dinner with the entire group every night, and dinners like these are usually not as social as you'd like. There will definitely be talk of work throughout the evening, and it just totally ruins what would have been a gastronomical orgasm that is dinner.
And yes, it does mean absolutely no scrapping the entire week. *gasp* And most probably no net surfing as well, because I would be too brain-dead to even know how to turn on my puter. *double gasp* Can somebody just pull the plug and kill me please?
Alright, so I think that's enough melodramatics for one post. LOL!!!
YAY for Blogger!!! It hasfinally agreed to let me show off my recent layouts. I decided not to post all the layouts I had previously planned on showing, because then this post would just go on and on and on like the Energizer bunny. Although I love that fuzzy pink bunny, I would just gladly direct you to my webshots account (link in the sidebar, please) where they all are, credits included in case you'd love to go kit shopping.
Here are the latest ones I did for Robin.

Robin's Feels Like Home kit is another winner! I thought this one was different from Robin's past kits, which just shows her versatility in designing. I had real fun making this layout of Chloe, and I also tinted the photo so that the entire page went well together. It's also the first time (ever!) that I used one of those tabs, and wow, I think I'll be using them quite often now. LOL!!! I'm really more of a "paper" scrapper (in the digital sense) and I use elements sparingly, unless I find some that are quite unique.

Would you just look at how adorable Chloe is in this layout?!?! She's a natural, I tell you! I used Robin's latest, which is It Girl. Loooove the colors and the patterns in this paperpak! Plus it comes with several ribbons and a couple of bows, which I just love to use!
On to more good news!!! I am yet again part of another creative team. Woohoo! I was bloghopping one night, and I headed over to Tania's (Lunafaerie) to see what was going on in her corner of the world. Lo and behold, I saw her post for a creative team call. I was emailing her faster than you could say schmuck! LOL!!! I have always admired Tania's kits, and look forward to her prizes and RAKs in RAKScraps.
So here's my first layout using Tania's kit Funky Bunches.

Would you just look at how adorable Chloe is in this layout?!?! Ok, so I also said that in the previous layout, but c'mooonnn! She IS adorable! I remember just clicking and clicking away on my camera, when Chloe suddenly turned and ran towards me with that huge look of delight on her face. Perfect photo moment captured! And isn't Tania's kit gorgeous??? Love the color combos and the epoxy alphas!
Ooh ooh ooh!!! I can't believe I actually bounced up and down on my chair as I typed that. LOL!!! I don't want to pre-empt anything, but but BUT!!! Watch out for my next few layouts. Oh shit. I'll be in the conference this entire week! Ok, so you'll have to wait till the week after. Crap, and I was so excited to show you! Well anyhoo...I'm sooo excited because by then, I would already have....
ETA:
Oopsies! Speaking of the devil (or faerie, for that matter), got tagged by Tania. LOL!!! I'm going to add this to my post before I go to that dang conference.
