Freedom!!!

I can't even explain how liberating Art Journaling can be... Even though the "ick" had me in a headlock I still managed to drag myself to my drafting table and knock out a couple pages... It had been awhile since I made use of my supplies, and I forgot how fun improvising can be...
Letting the creative juices flow...

The head cold that put me out of commission...

I've had a head cold for 3 weeks now and after haggling with my doctor I finally got antibiotics, but they haven't kicked in, yet, and I'm ready to rip my hair out... I feel like I'm plugging my ears... The only thing I can hear is my own voice in stereo... All I want to do is sleep, and I've watched so much Desperate Housewives my brain has officially turned to mush...

My Art Journaling class is over, and I'm so sad... If you ever have the chance to take a class from Dina Wakley DO IT!! She is amazing and her classes have so many techniques to spark your creativity. I started writing in a journal last year and Art Journaling has been such a better outlet for my thoughts. My journal has turned into this beautiful book I can flip through and admire, instead of just words... How perfect!!!

A beautiful day to lift my spirits...

It was 73 degrees on Friday here in Sacramento, and boy did I need it... I happily ran some errands (grocery store, coffee shop, bookstore) and then took the long way home through Downtown Sac (trees were blooming and couples happily ran through McKinley Park), instead of taking the freeway. I drove with the windows down, soaking up every breath of fresh air... I found a great radio station on Sirius Satellite that played old school Hip Hop and I couldn't have been more at peace.
When I got home I opened all the windows, did laundry, swept and mopped the floors, and cooked dinner for my honey and me. It was such a fabulous day, and it ended with a cuddle with my Joseph and a glass of wine... What could be better?

I love you my Stink!!!

Digi made easy...

I finally got Photoshop CS4 downloaded to my computer, which means I can add another couple Internet classes to my already busy day, but I can't help myself...

Miss Jessica Sprague is my new hero... I never thought digital scrapbooking could be so easy. Her videos are so easy to follow that I encourage anyone who's ever been interested in working with digi fun to TAKE HER CLASSES!!!

This layout was the first lesson of the "Up and Running" class, and OMG it was so easy!!! She starts the lesson with the blank layout and you finish it by adding a picture, embellishment, and journaling. The journaling reads...

"Your hands feels safe... with you in my grasp I feel like I can take on anything. Your hands provide comfort and love... we were on our way to a wedding this day and I had never felt so much in love with you... Your love makes me weak... I love you..."

I have a lot more lessons to get through and 3 more classes, but I'm very excited!!! Maybe I can finally tackle my two Europe trip scrapbooks...

YouTube fun...

If you haven't been to YouTube lately... GO!! Type in "laughing babies" and enjoy the multitude of fun... Joseph and I were CRACKING UP!

My New Roommate

Joseph moved in this weekend... Yes, we're living in sin... *wink*

I wasn't expecting things to feel any different because lately we've been spending most nights together, but I was oh so wrong... IT IS WONDERFUL!!! Just knowing that every day I will come home to him makes me feel incredibly safe and loved...

He got off work early today, and instead of having to go home and get clothes to come to my place, he just came home to OUR place... We spent the rest of the day together hanging pictures and doing laundry (I don't know why, but I love folding his clothes... I think it's because he always gives me this appreciative look, like he's saying "you didn't have to do that, but I love that you did."... That look means everything to me).

Joseph and I always talk about our future together, but this move made it real... Our love feels stronger somehow... And aside from finding a place for his stuffed Homer Simpson dolls (and matching SLIPPERS!!!), everything is perfect!!... (Homer is actually starting to grow on me)...
