History in the Making

I love Politics - I always have from my young Dem days at Fordham. I love the excitement of working on a campaign and then having soemthing to show for it. Or being able to party if it doesn't quite go your way! I thought the historic part of this campaign was the win - but literally today in New York and I assume in other parts of the country there is a tangible vibe of change. I was inspired today by that vibe and the cozies at Starbucks to commemorate the occasion of the innauguration. The title this is my President is my pledge to make something happen in the next four years. And support the President in whatever way I can. The journaling is about how i feel about the election and what Barack's presidency means to me.

So on a positive note.... Let this change in the year and in the presidency call you to start something new! Yes we can!!!

CHA - Where scrapbooking people want to be reincarnated to

Maybe not everyone - but i definitely do! CHA is the Craft and Hobby Association and twice a year they have a huge trafeshow for buyers.... This when the manufacturers showcase new product lines, new items etc... It's a huge deal! I would give anything to go... number one becuase it's in Anaheim and it's seriously cold here right now. Number 2, I love looking at paper and things related to scrapbooking so i imagine the kid in a candy store mentality. Number 3, if i did get to go it would be becuase somehow I would be doing what i love and have actually business related to it, (that's the only way in!)

I'm lucky though - a lot of the blogs I regularly read are maintained by very talented artists and they all get to go to CHA and they take video, and picutres that they generously share with people like mw who can't go. One of those very talented artists is Irene Tan and she is having a contest on her blog... take a look!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day! (Belated)

Happy NSD! Actually it was yesterday and I have to say I had a blast... I was on scrapbook.com from 10 am to 6 pm and probably could have stayed on longer if i didn't have dinner plans! Below are some of the higlights of what i got done. I finished the flip flop album of my trip to Mexico, and did a page for a challenge. I was on super time!



Classy Girl May Sketch






Some of my favorite pages from the flip flop album... It was worth all the work in the end.

I even won one of the challenges on scrapbook.com. Can't wait to see what i win! Still have some things i need to get done which I'm going to work on this week. Though it's shaping up to be a busy one....

PS in dating news ask me about the ninja!!!

Layouts and updating of the list

Here are the latest two layouts I've done. I'm proud to say I've filled up one book! I'm on the second, and i'm pretty excited.
I'm also really glad I quit, but more on that later!



Scraplift the person Ahead of you April Challenge


Sketch April Challenge


Loved doing these, wish I had put some more thought into the sketch challenge, put it's a great picture of Eva's little boy and i really loved the colors.

Now as for quitting.... i wish they would just send out the e-mail... everyone knows but i can't put a transition plan into go until the official notice goes out. The two top people have tried to convince me to stay, but I declined the offer. I'm ready to move on to bigger things. I've made some of the best friends ever at (or because of) DP, but it's time....Just needed to vent that out!
