So it’s itty bitty in this photo, lol, but thats my Ethan in the layout on the new Adhesive Transfer Sheets packaging. He thinks its cool and considers himself a celebrity. Shelby was in this months Michigan Scrapbooker so I promised Dylan the article I write for the next issue will have a layout of him. He is thrilled. Apparently it doesn’t take much to make his day. :p

I’m getting all my stuff done, or trying to anyway before I leave on vacation. I’ll be gone for most of next week, (leaving Tuesday), so I need to get though the to-do list. Thankfully, I’ve moved along pretty darn well today. I’ve been cleaning out my office and put a few things on freecycle. Gotta love freecycle… I seem to hang on to things that I don’t really need to, like magazines. I don’t know why I even bother. I never look at them. Frankly, I hardly look at the books I have either, if ever. I have some I’ve never even opened. I only hang on to those because most of them are autographed, so thats my justification… who wants a book with an autograph made out to me.

My Dad sold one of his cars this past week and I’m super sad about it. I’m mean really sad. Denny and I drove to our wedding reception in that car, so I’m emotionally attached as is Denny. It was so hard to see it go. All the kids got one or two final rides in the car and I cried. I suppose it’s kind of silly, but what can I say.

Not much else going on around here. We’ve been working on the house over the last couple weeks. I know it seems like we are always doing that doesn’t it? At least we are now onto the exterior for the most part, so the living in construction era has pretty much come to an end. I’m loving that really.

A few weeks ago while cleaning up the yard I ran across a nest of bunnies. Super cute, however now that they are all over the yard they are becoming a real pain. They have managed to eat a ton of plants right down to the ground. I don’t mind grass, but those flowers I won’t see again until next year. So, we are being invaded by rabbits. They are everywhere… it’s not odd to see 4-6 of them in the yard at a time. They have gotten to the point that they are hardly affraid of me. I was sitting outside yesterday and looked down to see a baby right next to my foot looking up at me. Little turkey… I’m sure I was interrupting his afternoon snack. The bunny issue is compounded by the ducks we have, which have also taken up residence in my yard - both front and back. Monday they found the pond in the yard. At least they aren’t eating all my plants, and they don’t eat fish so I guess I can’t complain. At least they aren’t geese. I don’t do goose poop.

There is a chat tomorrow night at MyCreativeClassroom.com. I’d love to “see” some of you there, so drop in if you get a chance.

That’s all for today. Happy Wednesday.
