Top Ten, and a Tag!

Here’s my latest top 10, just for kicks. :)

1. Taking a break tonight from projects. I’m sitting in the living room on the laptop. Feet up on ottoman, sunk into the cushions, Diet Mt. Dew perched on a handy DVD case - the latest stackable plaything for the kids - by my side, TV on and muted (I always overestimate my ability to concentrate while there’s noise like that around. hehe. But still not moving upstairs.)

2. Adding more books to my GoodReads account (and stacking up my To Read list). Add me if you like! :D

3. August 2007 issue of Creating Keepsakes is my 2nd time as a CK Cover Girl. :D I used papers from Jen Wilson’s Being and Rekindle kits, plus awesome scalloped Bazzill cardstock, my favorite chipboard rings from Technique Tuesday, some ribbon, some Heidi Swapp clips, my Studio font from QuicKutz, and my ubiquitous three tacks from Chatterbox. :D

 

4.  The Suggestions feature at Etsy. Genius.

5.  Looking at my photos from our trip to the Dan Zanes concert on Saturday. We got our photo taken with him, and I printed Rowen an 8x10 to hang in her room. She was so excited! I was watching my friend Jessica’s son David, and Rowen took him right up to her room to show him her picture. She does these little adorable bouncy-jumps every time she talks about him and that show. It was that good.

6. Air conditioning. :D 

7. A baby boy (Grady) for my friend Aubrey, and a baby girl (Mia) for my friend Jessica. Congratulations! Still waiting for news on Susan’s Baby Dubs, and  Gluestick’s wee man as well. Holy July due dates, batman!

8. Elliott’s awesome birthday present from his grandma, a Make Your Own Monster Puppet. Hours of fun for our kids, and provided a great sharing time for church on Sunday! :D And let’s not underestimate my delight at being able to make all the crazy voices I want AND act them out with my hands. ;)

9.  Microwave popcorn. ‘Nuff said there. ;)

10. Getting ready for CHA. Gonna see some awesome new product, see some friends, meet with lots of manufactuers, present at a panel discussion, get some new headshots from Nisa. Can’t wait.

Well.. but

11. Bonus one. One more day to hang out with my kids tomorrow before being gone for a few days. :) If the weather clears up, we’ll be swimming at the gym.

Alright! What’s on your top 10 list?

Jessica,
I have been sitting in my chair, feet up, with the tv on mute also for most of the night. I have twins that are 16 and a 15 year old and they are all at church camp....so I have been reading the forum, catching up on U and R class and looking at the gallery since getting off of work and eating dinner. I am love, love, loving this digital scrapbooking. I am going to have to get me a wide-format printer. Thanks for your hard work

Congrats on making the cover once again!! My issue just came in the mail today so I've barely thumbbed through it, but I really love the LO.

P.S. I'm a long time lurker, first time commenting, and I really couldn't resist I just loved that LO so much :)

Congrats on your 2nd cover for CK! I noticed it right off and was super excited for you! I love your work and really appreciate all you do to give us Photoshop Friday! Have a great trip!

Hi Jessica, loved today's blog. You made me laugh so hard I darn near wet my, well we'll skip that comment. But when you said you were in your living room sitting on the laptop I just had this vision of you sitting right "on top" of the laptop. I am still laughing at the visual in my mind and then thought it would make a great logo for you.

Congrats on the cover and thanks again for a great U&R class. Catherine "Cuter"

More congrats on the cover! That's soooo cool! You should totally make a Shutterfly book of all your published LOs. :)

Hi Jessica,
Congrats on the cover. I'm new to this digital scrapping (thanks to you). I don't have a blog so I'll list just a few of my top ten.
Try a different format size (instead of 12 x12 try 8x8 or 8.5x11)
Take a digial template and change the orientation (turn it sideways)
Scan in a piece of fabric to use in your layout.
Scrap an old picture.
Gee now that you got me started it hard to stop. Thanks again, safe trip
