Be ok..be ok..

I just want to be ok.



From this commercial



I happened upon this commercial and fell in love with this little song and I can't get it out of my head!! I imagine it's much like that fish sandwich commercial y'all on the east coast are seeing. You know this one:



So..how long until we see infomercials were you too can own your very own talking filet o fish wall hanging?

I haven't been too crafty lately, but have a few ideas brewing..let's see how it goes!

Silly ipod...

Yesterday? Really?


PS..blogger decided to crop my photo..grrr..

*Perfect*

I was a lucky girl on Saturday! One of my dearest friends Alma came over! We drank Guinness, ate Shepherd's Pie, of course we crafted! Alma was also kind enough to take a ton of photos of this layout! Thank you so much Alma! Your eye for capturing the moment leaves me awestruck!

These photos are from a few years ago. We gathered up our friends and some snacks and headed to the Concannon Winery and had a really great afternoon!

We had a fantastic picnic one Autumn afternoon at the Concannon Winery in Livermore, CA. It was the perfect mixture of friends, wine, food and laughter!

Photos in the layout were taken by Alma, Rob, and myself

Some youtube love..

I admit, I don't typically watch commercials. I, like most, have a dvr and record the shows I want to see later when I can use that handy dandy fast foward button! But as everyone knows, when I'm working on a project or making dinner I'm usually in a zone and don't break away to fast foward and inevitably listen to them. Some of them are cute and silly, and some of them are so not.

Anyhow...I am in love with this commercial, and it really does make me think...what IF delivery people ran the world?? It also makes me think boy, am I thankful delivery people didn't run my high school! Yes...I was a Callahan, I also was one of the "lucky" ones who'd mom would call in and excuse all of my absences for whatever reason, or no reason at all.




This next one is my favorite for awww....how sweet commercial.





While looking around youtube I came across this funny video of Dave Tango on Ghost Hunters.

Here comes Jersey!




This one is too funny!




Enjoy!

Want to see some older cards?!

We all begin somewhere, and these cards are some of the first ones I made. I was too afraid of the giant piece of 12x12 page to start scrapbooking. I found that cards were much more manageable and less scary.

It's funny to go back and see how we have changed and expanded our work. It makes me think about the courage it takes to share our work with our friends, family, and online.





















Thanks for taking a peek, and have a great weekend!

You know...he is kind of cute!

Have you seen the Cake Wrecks Blog? With posts like this, this, and did you see this?

It's a pretty funny blog, and I especially giggled at this post involving that cute orange hunger monster!

Speaking of the hunger monster, did you know there is a facebook group in honor of him? Funny!

Right now...

My desk is a big ol mess!




My desk is so messy with projects to do, projects almost done, and ones to be started.
It bugs me, but I love that it means I'm creating and planning to create more!

How is your desk looking?!

Seize the day...and explore your world!

I don't know where all these 12x12 layouts are coming from?! I have always been an 81/2x11 single page (or smaller) kind of girl. However, when I went to Michaels a few weeks ago they were out of my smaller preference so I got the 12x12 with the understanding I would cut it down. Half a dozen pages later...I'm kind of liking the 12x12 format. Let's see how long that lasts! ; )


This double page layout is about a familiar path we walk a few times a day when we are at Pfeiffer Park. I used self adhesive cork for the Elsie inspired treasure map. This cork is freaking fantabulous! I picked up mine at my local Target.


The patterned paper and the other embellishments are from the friendly forest line by colorbok.






Detail on left page:





The flower on the upper right reads Cherished memories. Along the cork I wrote Seize the day... (in sharpie marker)


Detail on right page:





The bottom right I wrote ...and explore your world!

Journaling reads:

The path to the Homestead Cabin (among other places) is familiar and popular during the daylight. After dark however, it turns into a spooky adventure!




Thanks for taking a peek!
