A Beautiful Disaster

The one where I DIDN'T make excuses for life getting busy.

I'm not going to apologize! I won't make excuses or try to do better. It is what it is and sometimes I won't blog for a week because life is crazy and that's no big deal. Really!  I started back to school this week, Patrick started school for the first time, we had a birthday and a Ball at the church this week and that's not even including the hurricane like weather, work and every day stuff. We're adjusting.

I did manage to keep up with my p365 photos, so score one for me! Let's see...where did we leave off..oh yes, Mugshot Monday!

Playing around with texture, grain, light and color

Perfectly imperfect shot of Karsten's morning routine of waving frantically at me when he gets out of the car as he's running away.

Dead batteries in the middle of the college parking lots suck.  Good thing husbands can fix almost anything!

The inside of my ball gown that I (ahem-yeah-right-i-mean-my-mommy) made me for tonight's ball.

Speaking of tonight's ball..I'm waiting on the professional proofs to come in, but I can show you some quick Photo booth shots of the pretty dress!

 

My accessories were black.  I've been wanting a big bow to wear for a while..so I got two!

 

It's a tea-length retro pattern in beautiful teally-blue taffeta and she even made a crinoline for underneath to make it poof out..isn't it cute!  Best part was, I kept getting compliments on it all night and no one was wearing my dress! hehe

I have two new products up this week for you and I did a ton of new layouts too!

In honor of that motto, I present this beautiful and spunky new kit for you this week!




Also this week, I have a new set of bottom ups for you!

As you can see, when I make templates, I do it from my own layouts! So here are some of the layouts I did this week :)

 

 

If you want to see the credits for any of them, just click on over to my SSD gallery or the 2010 layouts link at the top :)

Have a happy Saturday!

A Whole Week of P365

The themes help sooooo much!!  I made it through a WHOLE week of P365 and after I finished my work last night I updated all seven of my p365 Layouts.  I'm doing one layout per subject rather than one per week, that way, with the people shots, I can see the change in everyone all laid out in one layout!

Here is yesterday's photo for This Thursday.

This Thursday I'm all focused on the computer, trying to get work done.  It seems like all I ever do is work lately, and on two computers at that! I can't wait until I can buy the Adobe Suite for my Mac in a couple weeks, this going back and forth since my 30 day trial expired is AWFUL!

And Fussy Friday:

I love makeup. I was a makeup artist for a few years before becoming a mommy and I still have a pretty large stash. I always thought this eyeshadow was so pretty :)

Thanks for all your kind words yesterday, I'm glad to report that I got Karsten successfully off to school this morning, though the truth is, he only throws a fit on the days that Patrick is supposed to take him to school, thus ruining any chance I ever have of sleeping in.

Today I am focused on finishing up a SmileBox album, going to jump on trampolines with my boy for his birthday and finishing up little odds and ends projects that are hanging over my head.  Here's to productivity!!
