Oh, and in case you're not scrapping today and perhaps enjoying a little gardening outside ... today is also World Naked Gardening Day (I kid you not!) ... so go ahead, prune those roses in all your glory! Weed that garden like there's no tomorrow...

Chris, Chris, Chris .... tsk tsk tsk ... I think you and I are related! LOL I can't sit still for too long, either, thinking of all the "stuff" that needs to get done. Have fun at the party today! Try not to worry about what to wear or how you look - just enjoy it :) So, Happy National...

LOL! This is fabulous! What a cute mess!

Yes - this!!! I'm in a blah mood today with a raging stomach ache - yeah, just what I wanted/needed. :puke: Doing what MUST be done at the office and then I think I'll head home. LOL, well, I have a suggestion, but I don't think you could do it (I know I couldn't!!) : NOTHING...

Generally, I LOVE mixing 'n' matching designers, so five designers was a challenge I loved to take on this month. The one piece that had me stumped for the longest time? Adding a butterfly!! LOL! Credits: Brush Set Free ART Sample and Artsy Transfer Break Away Sample - Anna Aspnes; Artist Photo...

For NBK's template challenge this week. I replaced the rectangle photo area with a few masks that I layered and found a great photo of my Mum and her dog - they adore each other. Credits: SHE Dividers and Artsy Bits 'n' Pieces, as well as template -- all from NBK Design

:) I was looking through the gallery tonight and I was like ... HEY!! There's a macaw like mine. Love what you did - but you can keep the 'gaters for yourself ;)

:behindsofa: *** snicker *** Cross-posting ;)

Glad you're feeling a little better this morning, Chris - but wow on that heart rate when you stand up. My Lyme friend used to experience the same thing - she said it used to feel a bit like vertigo, but with heart racing. Not sure what she did to help resolve it, but she can at least walk...

Love the cut-out effect on the photo ... I'm going to check out this challenge!

Chris, I'm always amazed at how much you manage to cram into a day! Wanna come clean my kitchen? I don't even want to think what might be under or behind the fridge or stove. :shocked: Work is moving along this week, better than I thought it might. The office gym got a new addition...

I think my goal was 600 and I made it ... yesterday :shocked: Okay, so a day or two late LOL Shooting for finishing the month at 725.

Congratulations everyone! It was so fun to see all the creativity and different interpretations for the challenges.

Can't wait to see how the whole album unfolds, Suzie! I've been lurking on FB, following you along on the trip over there ... and now I get to see the LO's, too! Bonus :)

Morning Chris - and everyone else. Phew. What happened to the weekend? Did we actually GET a weekend?! :-? I'm beginning to wonder. I keep trying to figure out what I might have done the past couple of days ... and ... *** blank *** Laundry. Dishes. More laundry. I THOUGHT I was pretty...

Wow, that photo in Ange's page is stunning!
