Playing catch-up

as always! 6 days already again, where does the time go? We are so busy lately, the kids are staying late for play practice every day and Gabrielle wants me to take her to Karate every single day, because of the upcoming tournament. Yikes! All I want to do is stay at my computer and scrap! It is not to be I guess.
Today I have a semi free morning, I just have to run to the store. That gave me a chance to go through my list of blogs I follow, I feel like such a heal, I visit so infrequently. Not enough time in a day...
I received an email from Shruti at Kodak. They are doing some kind of scrapbooking contest in conjunction with the release of the new movie Babies and their launch of a new website. She asked me to do a baby page to be used at that time. I thought that was kind of cool. I will let you know more about it when the time comes. I got it done and sent in yesterday. Since it was babies, I had to scan in some of Gabrielle's old photos. Man, my pics were bad then....thank goodness for Photoshop is all I can say, it made it a little better. Here is another page I finished this morning. Do you remember this Jo?

We were at a party at somebody's house, I don't even remember who...man, was she little!

The other day I was practicing some backlit shots and I got this one, which I just had to scrap

I am still trying to finish my artjournal lessons, I am way behind. Here was lesson three, that was really a tough one (technically). It didn't work out the way it was supposed to, but I finally got it done

artjournaling doesn't come easy to me,  takes some getting used to :) (and it's a lot of work)

I finished another week for my Project 365. Since it fell on the end of the month, I broke it up, so I could start April with a new page.

So they are both week 13, kind of goofy, but they are going to be separated with the monthly calendar page anyway. I need to do two more weeks to be caught up....

Gabrielle found out that with her grades she is in the junior achievement group at school, she was so happy and I was so proud of her!!!

The school garage sale is over! That was a lot of work, but since it's for the 8th grade class trip, it was worth it. We had to go Thursday and sort everything (so much junk) and then go back Saturday from 11 - 3 and help out. When we got there, a lot of the stuff was sold already, I couldn't believe it. We were told that people were lined up at 6.30 in the morning for the 7 am opening and they sold $500 worth in the first two hours. I am hoping they made a lot of money. 

This weekend is the play, both Saturday and Sunday, so the whole weekend is planned out already. 

I just saw in the paper yesterday that our local camera club is going to have a photo contest, so I really want to send in some photos. I will also join the club, it shouldn't be too involved, they only meet once a month and then maybe I can ask the pros there some questions when I need to. They are organizing a pboto walk this Saturday morning, I so hope I will be able to go for a couple of hours at least. Sounds like fun, I have never participated in one. I have to see how I can work it out around the play, I don't know what time the kids have to be there and the play starts at 2 PM.

Yeah, my life is so exciting!

Well, I better run to the store and get something to eat for lunch too. Half the day is gone already.

Ciao!
