Happy Thursday!
How is my O-Fam doing? I hope you all are awesome!

I am so tired- but what else is new? LOL I spent the entire day organizing and cooking up some stuff for F-W. I am making these adorable penguin soaps and I am so in love with them! I wanted to get a picture and put it up on the website, but I ran out of time.
Then I was making up my list of supplies I need to order and I was telling Gary that I couldn't make as many lotions/shower gels as I wanted yesterday b/c I ran out of bottles.
He tells me there is a huge bag of them in the attic.
*slaps forehead*
That's why I needed to get into the attic in the morning --duh!!!! So aggravated w/ myself some days. The brain just doesn't work right!

I was also distracted- I had to keep checking in here to see what Clara was up to Vet's Day. Did everyone see it?? She is just soooo wonderful! And so are all of the O Designers who contributed. The O Rocks!!

Andrea Andrea-- how could you not miss the caffeine!!?? Didn't you feel awful- oh yeah, you did. Maybe that wasn't a virus but caffeine w/drawal! LOL
Wow!!! I really really wanted to go to the Great Wolf Lodge with my family, but well, no money kinda killed that idea :) But from everything I hear you are going to have a great time!!!!
And mmm mmmm girl- you;d better watch it or you are going to have all sorts of people trying to smell/lick you Buhahahahha!
I don't typically do candles, but I have done them in the past- but if you want-- I will do for you. Just give me time, so if I botch it up, I can figure out what I did wrong.

Dawn- again- those papers are great!! See, some good comes from being laid off :)

Clara- you rock sweetie!!!

Hi Elisa!

Linda W- hope today is waaaay calmer for you!

Leslie-- I love Spoiled Bunny!!! That is awesome!! Hope that you don't get sick- since you are new, my secret is garlic pills...... anti-viral/anti-bacterial....;)
Good news about that mommy. BTDT, and that is not fun.

Better get going.....
 
Gooood morning! I just got up and am brewing some (caffeinated) coffee. Chris, yeah, the bad headaches I was having every morning most definitely were caffeine withdrawal. *sigh* And then the day I bought the Starbucks I came right home and brewed a cup. I'd had a diet coke that day too, and after having both I was all jittery. I was like, "Whoa, am I anemic for some reason?" because I tend to feel jittery like that when I am pregnant and I know that's out of the question right now with Vince being gone....then I looked at my coffee can and saw the green label. HOW did I not NOTICE it when I bought it, or in any of the days since then???

This is what I say when I do stooopid stuff like that, "Sometimes I wonder how I made it this far." LOL!!!

Hey, if you don't do candles, don't worry about it. Penguin soaps sound cute. I'm just going to have to go check out your site and get an order up.

Nothing much more to report this early except that I've been scrapping lately, YAY! My mojo seems to be back, but don't tell it or it will go away again. Today I have to finish up some homework stuff so I'll be free this weekend to have fun at the Lodge. Although there is free wireless internet in the rooms, so I could do it there if I wanted to. I can't wait till we get there, Atha is gonna flip!! (and my camera will be flashing!)

Dawn- your paper are looking great! I haven't made any yet, but I keep thinking about it. I need a color palette. Maybe I'll stop by ColourLovers later today.

Okie dokie. Off for some coffee and a facebook check. Be back later!
XOXOXOX
 
Good almost afternoon, everyone!!!!

Ok what do y'all think.............................Daybreak Scraps. Much as I'd like a cute bunny related name LOL I just couldn't...so there we have it...and as far as I can tell it isnt in use already. shew.

Chris-LOL on the memory, mine is practically non-existent. I need to check out your goodies sometime very soon, I'm thinking Christmas gifts! woohoo!

Andrea-once you start making papers you'll have a hard time stopping. You've been warned buuuahahahah.

Speaking of caffeine withdrawals, I'm having my own....gotta wait til the mail comes though so I can take my checks and go to the bank. Then I'm going by MickeyD's(they have the best Coke) for a lg Coke...yummy.

Love you all!!!!!!
 
No a real post today.

Dealing with my first customer problem here a couple days ago and not looking forward to seeing her in person. Guess there was a misunderstanding about stuff with a wedding I shot a few weeks ago, but the mother of the bride was just rude on the phone. Hoping I can fix the problem & at least make her happy once her book comes it. I should expect things like this, but still caused me to stress more this week than I wanted.

Scraping mojo is still here at least!

Dawn, since I started I've toyed with the idea of designing, still thinking on it...(I used to create textures and things for other PS artwork, just lower resolution so I can't just reuse those, but I do know how addicting it is to make!) I'm toying with template designing since then I can reuse them anyway when I'm designing albums for clients in my real work life. And also toying with doing wordarts since I love making my own and love typography. All still in my head though, lol.

Chris take pictures of the penquins! I want to see them! (Do you have a link to your stuff too so I can see what you make? And please no skunk smelling things or roadkill.)

Andrea glad your mojo is back! I can't wait to get to know you more through your LOs!

Loving you gals at the O!!!! :D

Off to play/work/procrastinate/web surf!
 
Hey all! Taking a break at work here...

Andrea - my favorite place for color inspiration is going to JoAnns or a fabric store. I snap photos of the coordinated fabric collections or a particular patterned fabric that I like, and then I can pull those colors in PS/PSE. I then create pallettes with those colors. I still want to do something with the color pallette of sari fabrics I saw. And it is addictive - just wish I had more time to play with making papers. And which Lodge are you near? I live about 2 miles away from the one near Kings Island in Ohio.

Chris - I just checked out your site and the stuff you make. I might have to do some Christmas shopping there! And your dog's name is Harley? One of our dogs is Harley, too. Not knowing your history (being new in interacting here), I didn't realize about the Lyme disease in your family. I grew up in Connecticut, not too far away from Old Lyme and East Lyme, where the ticks were named after. My father developed heart issues back in 2000 and we thought it was due to Lyme disease as he was an avid runner, golfer and baseball player and so was always outside. It ended up being from a short bout of pneumonia, but during the time we were figuring it out I read up on the Lyme disease, so I know a bit about it. I have fibromyalgia myself and I know that can be one of the symptoms of Lyme, so I can understand a little of what you and your family must go through. And I eat a lot of garlic (my DH is Italian, so garlic is a staple for us), so I hope to continue to avoid the sickies.

Dawn - Daybreak Scraps sounds pretty, and I can already see the logo for that - a beautiful morning sky with maybe a morning glory glistening from the dew and sun.

Well, I better get back to the grind and earn my keep. See everyone later!
 
Hello!! I have missed you guys. I am back. I have finished my Veteran's Day tribute and given out my gift baskets and life is good. Now...generally I'm not one to toot my own horn BUT I made a gift basket and you guys HAVE to check it out on the Vet Day post. I think it came out cute, although the shadow on the bow is too dark, but hey...details, schmeetails. I'm good with it. I am still so amazed at how the designers stepped up and said here ya go. Almost everysingle designer gave me as many gift codes as I needed and told me how great it was. Now remember digiscrap is an international thing so quite a few are not even from the US and they still jumped right up and said here ya go. I am just in awe. Awesome!! I love it here. This is why I stick around. Because the poeple rock. I mean the designs are awesome...but a lot of sites have awesome products. Oscraps is great but it is one of a zillion sites. I think a site that gives so freely speaks volumes about what their goals are. Just by going through the freebies you can tell what kind of site this is. Nobody starts digiscrap to make money...not even the designers. A lot of designers design to support their scrap habit. LOL!! I feel myself moving into a long ramble so I am going to stop while I am still making some sense and am not really blubbering. I just wanted to say I love it here so much and am so glad I thought to do this and am amazed at how easy it was to put together thanks to the designers.
 
Hi girls!!!!! I am exhausted!!! I had to go with Traci to the Dr today (two hour drive)...ALL DAY event!!!!!!! I am so tired I can't eat!!! I just fixed DH a meatball sub...told him to enjoy...I need to rest up for my babies tomorrow!!!!

Clara....your basket is FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!

Leslie....I have to stay away from JoAnns...I spend way too much in there!!!

Elisa....Boo for the bad customer!!! Tell them if they don't behave..NanaLindaW is coming there to take care of it!!!:p

Dawn...I love the name!!! YAY!!! and Yay for MD's!!! I spend a fortune there on the LG sweet teas!!

Andrea.....Oh man...that would be bad here if I got the "GREEN" labled coffee!!! I love the Starbucks brand!! My fav is Cracker Barrell and Joe Muggs (BooksAMillion)

Chris...Yay for cooking up FW stuff...wish you were doing it in my kitchen;) then my house would smell soooooooooooo good!! Tomorrow I will go through my list of NEEDS and let you know about what I am going to order....I need Gifts and stuff for me...my body scrub is almost gone!!


So I am off for tonight!! I need to look through a couple of threads..and the couch has my name all over it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(((HUGS)))
 
Okay you guys, if this week gets any better, I am going to start getting worried. It's a good thing I'm so busy finishing my school work for the week and getting ready to leave tomorrow, or I'd be scrapping all night with my new goodies. Clara, you rule! Designers, you rule!

I'll check in tomorrow before we all load up and go. I'll take lots of pictures and let y'all know how it goes.

I love the O!!!!
 
Okay...so I wanted to do some personals since I haven't all week.

Andrea...you have a blast at Great Wolf. It is awesome there. I took Ethan last year for his birthday. That is too cool that it will be free. Have a great time. I sent you a PM about it and food. Food was a problem. Theirs isn't so yummy. That is their ONLY downfall. A lot goes on there so for food to be the only downfall is pretty impressive I think. I'm glad you are having such a great week and glad i could help make it so great.

LindaW - You get some rest lady. No staying up all night like I have been. I'll go to bed early if you go to bed early. How about that for a deal?? LOL!! I hope the DR appt went well.

Leslie - fabric for color palettes, huh? I am so not into designing though. I have zero inclination to design. I don't even like to use stamps. I do love using other people's stuff. It is funny how creativity works for different people. I just don't have the brain to start from scratch. I have to have something to start with. I can't start with nothing. You will learn more than you ever thought there was to know about Lyme disease here from Chris. I never knew it was such an issue. Now I do and keep my ears open now for stuff about it.

Elisa - the double edge sword of customer service professions. I hope you get everything worked out with them. If not kick them in the knee and tell them it is from me. :) You think that will help?? Hugs!!

Chris - Next week is going to be a doozy. How are you doing? I just looked at the calendar and realized what all was coming up. I'll be praying hard for you. I need to h op onto your website and place some orders for Christmas. Do you have any lotions that make evil people less evil?? that is what I need.
