there are only 3 ways. 1) Come in May, June, July, August, or September. 2) Wear HEAVY clothing in the winter. or 3) walk into my kitchen early on a winter's morning. I start the day off by turning the heat up for just a little while to take the chill off the house. My kitchen is tiny but it has a relatively "normal" sized heat vent. It is so warm in there, it's hard to breathe! I know 'cause I just went out there to make my morning frappucino.
So, I have church going on in the background. I'd hoped to listen to this sermon at least twice before I have to leave, but that is just not going to happen. The sermon is 67 minutes long and I'm only a little past the halfway mark on the first listening. It's good and I'll have to listen to it several times to make sure I don't miss anything good!
I blast out of here at 10:30. I am to babysit today from 11 til 2. Can't wait to see what my sweet grandkids are up to........ Atticus was at the doctor's office a couple of days ago with croup. Jen took the troops to the Lied Children's Museum yesterday and when she called, she was trying to get Bitsy to stop crawling around on the floor of the bathroom. Ewwwwwwwwww. Oh, well, you just can't expect a two year-old to understand the finer points of life!
One thing about Bitsy, she has no appreciation for the word "dirty". She HAS finally gotten to the place where she'll tolerate having her face and hands wiped without screaming and that is a blessing. She doesn't seem to have yet gotten the idea the food goes in the mouth, not on the face. So, it's good to be able to clean her up from time to time, LOL.
We are supposed to have another of the "mostly sunny" days today. However, it's only 47 right now with a predicted high of 62. I'll be dressing warmly before I leave here.
I have no idea what has happened to my motivation. I did do some small things around the house yesterday, but they were really small things. Thank God, I get to start over again today.
I now have 3 previews made for the all-time-favorite-colors kit. Next is alphas. Then alpha and glitter previews and details. Then it will be the same list for the spring-ish kit, except that I've thought of a few additional elements I want to put into that kit first. I also need to preview the glitters for next week's kit so I can upload them to the CT.
I am hoping to have enough determination to stop by the charity drop off and get the back of the van emptied out. I have those plastic in-boxes in the back of the van, and if the load shifts, those things are toast. So I want to get that taken care of. I'm also still driving around with close to 100 pounds of dog food in the van which can't be great for gas mileage. I have many more bucket runs to make!
Alright, it's time for eye candy with this week's kit. When we scrap vintage photos, we seem to think of muted colors. Maybe it's because sometimes our photos are a bit faded and we think our papers shouldn't be super color saturated. I looked at this kit and thought about vintage photos, but I thought the papers might be a little avant garde for that. Thank God, Christy saw something I didn't see when she saw this kit. Let me show you her gorgeous heritage layout.
That gorgeous photo is her great grandparents on their wedding day, August 16, 1900. The photo is remarkably well preserved. And here's something more. Do you see that little item to the left of the photo? That is an original wedding invitation, also beautifully preserved for 112 years! Isn't this a gorgeous layout? Leave Christy some love here.
I'm outta here. I need to get ready for my trip across town. YOU be BLESSED this Lord's Day!
