Day 29 of 365

Tonight despite my protesting Brandi drug me out to an open house held by Lynn Darda.

Despite me sounding like I didn't enjoy it, I really did. Lynn is the elementary school art teacher. What a creative woman she is.

She does some scrap booking through a company that (forgive me) I can not for the life of me remember the name of right now. *Isn't my face red. Especially since I asked her specifically what it was called.

I will say that I really love the papers and themes that she presented there. Oh and these awesome stamps that you could peel and put on a "stamp block" so that your not storing 39483838 stamps. MUCH more convenient. If you can't tell the stamps pretty much rocked my socks off. It MIGHT just convince me to try to scrapbook. Notice I said MIGHT in big capital letters!! Truth be told, I don't have a creative bone in my body, unless it involves photography.

If anyone is interested, I will get you information. She is such a delightful woman I would love to be able to give her a little business even if it isn't from me. (Remember, again, most uncreative person ever!)

So while we were there Brandi convinced me to make a card. With Lynn's step by step instructions, I DID IT!!

Now on to the photographs...





The card I made! Mine is the one on the right. I even "antiqued" the edges all by myself!!



Here are some other cool things she has done with her scrap booking materials.. aren't these GREAT?!



This is a CHOCOLATE bar!! It's put inside a six pack carrier that has been covered in scrap book paper, and on the other side it's holding a small candle and a couple of lotions!! HOW ADORABLE!!



If your interested in more info about this company or ordering from Lynn, shoot me an email I'll be happy to get you information.

Day 27/365 Nov 22, 2008

Our day started off with assembling Caide's high chair. Mike started on this by himself. After realizing the instructions came in every language but English, he enlisted my help. Between the two of us we managed to troubleshoot through the pictures and figure it out. Sans three screws, that we never did find a home for.









After this we went to Sam's club for our monthly bulk grocery stock up. Unfortunately the rest of these were taken with a point and shoot, and mine is acting up. So, some aren't as crisp as I would like.







This shot reminds me of "The Scream"



After a long day.

Day 24/365

I went back to Favorite Finds, the shop I wrote about before, to do some photographs for her website.

I only liked one.



I went out last night with her to have dinner and a drink. I snapped this picture. Somehow I managed to get a horrible flash reflection off my bottle, but this is all part of the project. I'm not going to get GREAT photos everyday.

Soo..

Day 18 of 365 Favorite Finds

A friend that I've had for 20 or so years opened her own boutique type shop. I'd love to be more specific about what it carries, but there really is something for everyone. It's got some clothing, home decor, gifts, toys, and so much more. If you walk in and can't find something you really just didn't look hard enough.

Tonight was her holiday open house. I was suppose to go work with her, but Mike had a late meeting, so instead I went up and went shopping instead. I also took pictures and she, being the lucky girl she is, gets to be todays project. Enjoy.
