Vacation...

Yep....that is us right now....ON VACATION...... 
I haven't updated in a while, but it has been a very busy couple of weeks!  
We are on vacation right now and I am sure that when I get home, I will need MORE of a vacation to get my rest from my vacation!
I have started the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy and can't seem to put it down.  
My mum had it on her Kindle and I am reading it. I started Monday night and didn't go to sleep until 6:30am on Tuesday because I had to keep reading.  I haven't read a series that I couldn't put down in a long, long time!  

In other news, w
e went to a scrapbooking store here and I was able to pick up some really great papers for the hockey pictures I took in North Carolina.  I also picked up some "scrapbooking chick" papers for my Skyline album and layouts about scrapbooking retreats.  I can't wait to get home to play with the papers and photos I have waiting for me.  

So, the kids, Ben and I are going to enjoy our vacation and I will catch y'all on once I get home and settled from this vacation.  Should be a good rest of the week....lots of places to see.
Until Next Time,
SCRAP ON!

Day 4 - Project 365

Can you believe it? I am still doing it! I guess it helps that I have set my calendar on the iPhone to remind me two times each day AND I downloaded the 365 app for iPhone and it reminds me too. If I don't have a list (or a reminder), I forget.

I had Ben take a pic of me sitting in bed with my laptop and my book. It is a "nightly ritual" that I have and if I don't do it, I don't sleep very well. I go through my emails and reply to any that need replying to, check facebook for any updates. Sometimes I check email in bed, sometimes in my scrap loft. Tonight, I brought the laptop to bed because I was feeling lazy. After getting online and doing all that, I put the laptop away and read some of the book that I am currently reading. Right now it is a book called Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I have this quirk...read the book before you watch the movie. I received the movie for Christmas and I refuse to watch it (even if it has my favourite actress in it - Julia Roberts) until I have read the book.....
Here is the pic:
Keep On Scrappin'!

RAK from Karen (Kalese)...

I received an envelope in the mail yesterday and it was from AUSTRALIA!!! My friend over there Karen - Kalese on Scrapshare - and I have been talking TWILIGHT since before the movie was released! Karen sent me this:
Now, I have been reading the Twilight Series over and over and over again. I have seen Twilight in the theatre 2 times and I plan to order the movie as soon as it is out. I am OBSESSED! There is a Thread on ScrapShare that I started as soon as I got back from the movie at 2:45am and it is up to 40 pages of posts! So, not only am I OCD (as the button says) but I know a bunch of others (including Karen) who are!!!
The OCD continues on with New Moon (the next book in the series) being brought to the big screen in November 2009 and it starts shooting in March sometime!!! I am so psyched!!!
So, THANK YOU Karen! For my OCD Pin! I have it in a prominent place in my Scrap Area and it will be with me whenever I go to a retreat! I hope to someday meet you in real life!!!
