GPP Street Challenge "Cat Got Your Tongue?"

I've been checking out the Green Pepper Press Street Team challenge for awhile now, you may have noticed the link on my blog (scroll down, along the right). Well, the journaling bug has bit me again and this challenge was journal related so I had to jump in. This was fun to work on, as I always try to incorporate words into my journal pages, even though it is difficult at times. This time, I just journaled about a subject near and dear to my heart - my shortness of time due to working full time. We all must make due to pay our dues!

Enjoy,

Rainy days continue

Until yesterday, it had been really dry here. Not now. If this keeps up we'll need a boat. All kidding aside, we've gotten several inches of rain the past two days and that is a lot for us. I wouldn't say I was real productive this weekend, just a little. But, I am doing some journaling along with my card making. Still working on halloween too. Thanks to those who have offered words of encouragement on my hopes for publication. I like to hope that all of that time and cost of advanced education pays off for me! haha. I spent a lot of time with my Flickr stuff this weekend. I will get more of it posted out there with my Disney photos for those who care. I know it's not everyone's cup o' tea. Today's post is a little something on my Facebook adventures within the past two weeks. I found friends from as far back as, well, my first friend ever - Debbie to current friends that I didn't know were on Facebook.

Enjoy,

new to wii

I continue to be busy with work. But this weekend we got a wii - this is my first video game equipment, believe it (or not). So many of my friends and co-workers have one, along with a Wii Fit. I got one of those too. I got my first taste of it this this morning - it is not kind! It weighs you and tells you that you are over weight straight out! I didn't have time to do the exercises this morning (of course not!), so I will have to do that later today. I also got Animal Crossing. It just looks like fun. I started playing with it the other day. Got my first home, now I have to pay for it (it's just like life - do I really need a game for that?!) You can interact online via wifi. How cool is that? I have to try it...

In my enthusiasm for journaling and weight loss, I have turned to journaling with pics of yoga poses and swim suits for inspiration. These two pics are journal pages in their early stages. I have so enjoyed this online journaling class and it has incorporated well into my life. I can cut up journaling bits to use (for my own personal use) and use my gel medium at a later time. Painting is my favorite activity and I never have enough time to do it. I need to get back to making fabric paper! I miss that. Hope all is going well with you - it is very spring like here today. VERY unusual for early February. Yikes. Almost 60. That's more like May weather for Wisconsin.
