Lazy Monday

Posted on | December 22, 2008 | 2 Comments |

Well, I could have been more productive but nope, stayed in my jammies all day, watched some Christmas cartoons for an hour, did some kindergarten activities with Emma, and created a page. It’s not this one… I haven’t taken pics of it yet. I did do some cooking and cleaning. That’s good, right?

Last night I created three layouts, a total of four in the last 24-hours. That’s what I want to do this break, do scrapbook pages more than cards. I need a break from all the Christmas card making!!! I might do some SCS/2S4Y challenges. We’ll see how motivated I get.

The details on this page… uhm, I’m not sure. It’s between Scarlet Lime and Studio Calico’s kit and some misc. I can’t keep my kits straight. It’s a bit of October Afternoon, Creative Imagination, Prima, KI and more but the wood grain stamp is for sure a Studio Calico stamp. I did some sewing on it too. As you can probably see by now this is the extent of my sewing ability {::SMILES}.

This photo was taken in Indonesia. We were in an Italian ice cream shop. The price for Indonesia was ridiculous, more less $1 for a scoop, $1.50 for two, and $2.50 for three (wonder why the three scoops was a bit more?), which can be a day’s wage for some people. But for westerners, $1 for imported ice cream isn’t bad. I mean considering this and a handful of others (e.g. Baskin Robbins) are the only ice cream you can buy (unless you want to get sick). This was the first and only time these two had ice cream there. Hmmm… I can’t believe they each only got a scoop!!

Two more full days before Christmas!!! My last package should be here Tuesday. Yes! I can’t wait for the family to open their presents. We didn’t go crazy on presents (no impulse buying either). M wants three things from Santa: A baby doll (like she needs anymore really!!!), a sewing machine (ha ha… the child of a crafter!!), and a cradle for Hannah (she was Santa’s present two years ago). From us, M is getting that doctor board game… where you try and pull bones without bumping the sides, a Wii game, and a baby carrier for Hannah. Hubby just wants a radio for his old truck and a pinstriping kit for Jane. M got dad a Steve Doocy book too. Very funny writer! Me… I wanted a Kindle from Amazon but that thing has been looooooooong gone. Plus it’s so expensive. So, I asked for an oval Nestabilities set, PTI stamps, or books.

Okie dokie, going to bed. Hope to start the day early tomorrow. I want to be more productive!!
