Freebie teaser...

Hee Hee...this one will be available on Feb 2nd....Groundhog Day!



and a sneak peek at a new kit coming out later this week:

Love to sleep in on Saturdays!

Although I feel a little guilty since DH is working overtime - but we DO need the money for college bills, and we also like to eat!

I do feel better today...I went out this morning and took these shots:






Equipment:
Canon EOS 300D
Canon 50MM f2.5 Macro lens
Raynox Macroscopic lens model M-250

Sunpack Platinum Plus
7500 Pro Tripod

The Raynox Macroscopic lens is a neat item you can get for $39.95 at B&H PhotoVideo - it clips onto the front of the camera lens and increases the magnification. You can e-mail me if you want more info on it.

OK I am off to take a hot shower, do some stretching and then run errands so I can come back and scrap for a while.

Have a great morning!

friday

my job has been very stressful the last two days....yesterday my friend at work whom i have worked with for 6+ years gave her notice - she has found a new job. i am happy for her but i will miss her a lot.

when i got home there was a letter from the pastor of my church announcing he is not only resigning from his position as leader of our church, but moving to another town and leaving the ministry all together to become a mental health counselor. again, i wish him the best but will also miss him and his family.

then today at work they gave 5 people a layoff - the company has not been making as much money as forecasted so they are trying to save wherever they can. we are publicly owned by an english company and the stockholders want a return on their investment...5 salaries probably won't get them much.

and my 20 year old son and his girlfriend seem to be having a party downstairs - i think i have counted 7 friends that have come in...plus his little (16) brother
he and his girlfriend are both going back to college on sunday, and i hope the friends all leave then too.

as you can see i am too tired tonight to even reach for the shift key.

i am just thankful for my job, my family and my health - the shoulder is slowly improving, but not without a lot of pain and hard work to keep stretching it.
i guess i need a good night's sleep...kinda crabby...sorry

eta as i finish writing friend #8 has arrived...

Wow...posting 3 days in a row!

Can ya believe it?
I am finally taking some time to scrap. I have to take a lot of little breaks
to rest my arm - seems like I can get more done in the morning before it gets
sore and tired later in the day. Back to the doctor on Wednesday - I doubt he will
be impressed at how much I can move it, since it hasn't improved in the past 3 weeks.
Thank goodness for Motrin and Aleeve! My primary care physician gave me some Percocet,
but....blah...makes me queasy and dizzy....Eeewww...Some people LIKE to take that stuff?

Ok enough of my whining!


~ Boni ~ I would like to thank you for your comments and constant visits - I tried to find a way to e-mail you and let you know how much I appreciate it but...ACK!...I can't find out how to see where comments come from on this blog.

Journaling: The trees in our area are covered with ice and
when the sun shines on the ice it’s breathtaking! I find it
hard to capture the true beauty with my camera. This photo
shows the thousands of tiny lights beyond the branches, but
still does
not begin to capture the entire sight.

Fonts are XBand Rough, Jailbird Jenna, and Pea Steph.

Ice Ice Baby

Yea we got some ice! This was Monday night. Getting up the drivway was an adventure!

The second photo in the dark is probably the best indication of how bad it really was...50 feet...uphill...NO visibility in the dark! I walked up first to make sure nothing big was down, and drove on through!

Now it's Friday and it's still an experience to travel up & down the driveway, but at least you can see a bit of what's ahead LOL!

Tommorow Hank will probably cut it down with the chainsaw and I'll help him drag away the remains. Kindling for our campfires this summer!

OK I gotta get ready for work...just wanted to get these posted!









Have a wonderful day...TGIF!

Healing LO

There was an article in Ali Edward's newsletter a while back about how she chooses a word every
year to reflect on - this LO is about the word I picked for my own.

I used Raechel Knight's kit ~Fresh Start~ - available at SBB.
The name of the kit seems so appropriate for this LO!

Fonts are Incognitype and Betsystype. If you would like to read the journaling - click on the LO and it should pop up a little bigger.

First Post of 2007!

Not much to say except I have been working on some new kits, and right now my shoulder and neck aches a LOT! Going to relax on the couch with a book and my heating pad.

But HEY I SCRAPPED!!!! A little preview of what one of the kits look like - I have 4 new ones coming!

I almost saved this with the date 1-6-2006...EEkk I caught it though!



I also made this page last week.
