I’ve been submitting work lately, layouts, cards and other projects.  Well I got an email this morning from Ready! Set! Create! and they picked up my Travel Tin for publication in there October/November 2007 Issue.  How cool is that?  I so needed something exciting today to wake me up.  I was up all night with Shelby and Dylan decided to join us on and off the entire time too.  I got them both to bed early this morning… around 4:30am.  Ack!  But hey, the excitment has woken me up today, so I’ve got a little burst of energy right now.  Maybe I’ll scrap while the kids are still sleeping!

Today I have dinner plans with Michelle and Jeanne.  It’s a mini celebration of sorts for Michelle’s birthday.  She doesn’t like hoopla so I’ll refrain from informing the restaurant about her special day.  But holy cow I want to tell them, lol.  Anyway, we are going to Texas Roadhouse.  It will be nice to have a girls only meal, so I’m looking forward to it.  Even if I’m going to be half asleep by then.  Who am I kidding, I’m going to be totally unconscious with my face it my food.

I did about 15-20 cards last night while I sat here, hiding out.  I had a horrific kid day and once Denny got home I had to hide out for a bit.  Anyway I used a bunch of scraps and old “extras” from past card classes.  I did have some kids left from last time that I put together also.  If anyone wants them, I’ve completed them for you and they are only $1.75 each and just regular postage rates for me to send them to you.  Just drop me a line, or check out the store tab on top of the page here as I hope to get them posted there today.

It’s raining here today and I have to say I’m loving it.  I really like a good thunder storm so I hope it starts to come down a little harder.  I find it so relaxing and it is even better if I’m in my office/scrap room with a window open next to the pond listening to the waterfall.  On a side note one of my water lilies finally bloomed the other day.  We have so many trees giant that they don’t get much light making it very difficult to get them to bloom.

Here is a little daily inspiration.  I finished this up yesterday.  Enjoy!
