So Glad To Have My Girls Home.
So many great stories and photos came home with them, too. They really had such a great time and are beaming!
Another Long Term Contract! Congrats!
So pleased for my husband because another long term contract has been tossed his way.
Great news but at the same time a little scary. Can he handle the old contracts and all these new ones? After a year free of his condition, will it return with the stress of the extra work and long hours? (It's been a beautiful, stress-free year since his condition hit rock bottom.)
Thankfully these days he mostly telecommutes; the extra work doesn't mean more driving for me! I get so nervous driving in and out of Boston and on Route 128 in general.

Digital Scrapbooking
Wow, it only took me creating a couple scrapbook pages by hand to realize I prefer to do it digitally! Colors are not as vibrant and as neon, in real life...
With a solid knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator I can create these scrapbook pages better on the computer than by hand and I love the features such as 'masking' when inserting the photos. It's so much easier this way! And I created all my own clipart and titles, right on the computer. Too cool to to think "I need...." and bam, I have it ready to go.
Here's a template I created for miniature golfing> Waiting for the photos and this page's done. (FYI: those are supposed to be golf balls, in the title. May look a tick better in person.)
And a template I created for my daughters' vacation page... just waiting for the return of my girls and their photos.
This is a finished page and is inserted in the book before the one seen just above. It is about our vacation while the girls are gone...
Regular work week for us, with some good lunches out and one celebratory dinner. Hubby got a new client and another long-term contract. So psyched for him.

More Cards For The Box
More cards for my cousin's daughter's box. (Shhhh!)
Gonna be compiling all the cards and putting them in a beautiful, of course hand decorated box; silk flowers, ribbons and tissue paper.
>>Cards, silk flowers, ribbons, bows, tissue paper and a box... Erogenous objects for any girl. This gift for a budding TRUE young lady (headed off to a great school) should definitely be a hit.
These are Get Well cards. After living (surviving?) the college years, one thing I solidly learned is everyone passes around the illnesses. Having a stack of Get Wells on hand will DeFiNitElY come in handy.
Thinking the same sort of images in blues for cards she'll be giving her guy friends (or someone special?)
Then, the box is done! Should be sent at the end of the week.
Thanks for your visit!

Dragonfly Blending
Hello again!
Well, as I was weeding another garden, my daughter and I noticed this dragonfly sitting on our hydrangea. Look how wonderfully he blends in. Regular old chameleon!
