Contemplation

is a wonderful thing. Especially at 12:00 midnight....what else ya gonna do? So, I've been surfing the net, mainly because I'm bidding on one of those stupid Shrek babies (the girl) & want to see if I'm gonna win it. Those that know me, know I won't pay more than retail....my high bid is in, so I really should go to bed....I'm not gonna bid again if I get outbid, but it's the thrill of the bid that keeps me awake.

I also found out, while surfing the wide-net, that Heidi Swapp is going to start Club Heidi....a monthly kit club. Those that know me, know I adore all Heidi Swapp products & probably should own stock in her company, but I don't. I'll anxiously be awaiting the debut (love this word....looks like it should read de-butt:) of her first kit & I'll probably be a subscriber.

I've also been cleaning my scrap room & scrapping some. More cleaning then scrapping, but I've decided I've got to keep my supply buying down to a minimum (disregard above paragraph). I guess that's why I've also been surfing the net checking out the cool 3M Scotch ATG 700 adhesive guns? Yay.....I'm still looking for the "perfect" adhesive, but aren't we all? So, as soon as I find a decent price, or a local craft store that offers a 40% coupon starts to sell them, it'll still be on my "wish list." Anyone wanting to part with their's, feel free to mail to my house!!

I've also been reading a TON of scrapping magazines. There are times I feel I can't get enough of them & will read 3-5 in a week & want to buy more!! HUH? What the heck am I gonna do with all of them? I mean, come on, I'm gonna forget half of what I read within 2 minutes of putting the book down. I'm getting smarter though.....I'm marking my pages with Post-It notes, which isn't a new thing to me, but maybe it'll work this time? I just love reading them though, so inspiring with the beautiful work, great techniques & wonderful ads. It does get depressing though, because I devour them, all the while a bazillion ideas are going through my head. Then it's time for me to pen those ideas to paper & nothin'!! I mean...........where does it all go? The ideas that is? If you see them, please send them back to me, because I do miss them.

And, we still have our ALL ABOUT ME challenge going on over at Scrapfabulous. It's NEVER too late to start a scrap album about yourself, so I hope you'll go over & join us. The layouts being uploaded are really great. We're also giving weekly prizes away, which is always a fun thing!!

Here's to all you Fathers out there reading my blog (ya right!!)............HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!

Dawne, I do the same thing with the scrap mags! All the gorgeous things to look at and wonderful ideas...then, poof, they're gone from my mind. If I use post-its, there's so many of them sticking out the sides that I can't wade through them all! ;)

I'm having a wonderful time with you AAM challenge, and am SO, SO glad to have finally started my book! Thank you!!!!
