Updates.
Tags:This is that fun shirt that Auntie Jessie sent Simon for his birthday. He calls it the "cow" shirt. I call it cool.
Here's the updates:
1. No AEzine this week. I got behind on a bunch of projects that I needed to complete. Look for a new one next Wednesday.
2. I have decided that I need to stay home this weekend/next week and work on my new book rather than attend CHA. I love going - so fun to catch up with everyone and see all the new products but I really need to buckle down and get to work so I can make the tight deadline. If you are going - have a GREAT time. There have been lots of sneak peeks floating around on the web - lots of cool stuff coming out. Bummed to miss the chance to hear Martha...but this is the right choice for right now.
My goals today (are you guys list makers like me?):
1. Finish May Studio A article.
2. Take Simon to the library and come home with a basket full of books.
3. Clean up studio to be able to get to work. I am super excited about projects I will be adding to this book - my Disney stuff, Japan and Australia travel albums, Chris' campaign story, + lots more good everyday stuff. Have lots of project folders overflowing with contents. Excited to have a chunk of time this next week to attack them.
4. Watch a movie on the couch with Chris tonight (also known as chilling before diving in to work on Saturday).
5. Emails.
Have a great Friday.

Can't wait to see your new pages, specially the travel ones. I haven't stopped scrapping my Japan photos -- that place is just too pretty, colorful and full of great photo ops!! :)

Bummer...your going to miss "MARTHA" at CHA! I just heard her announce on her show that she will be the keynote speaker at CHA on Sunday and she will be announcing her new for Micheal's craft store. Right now she making crafts with Dianna Ross on her show. *sigh* she's a queen diva! Anyhow, hope you get all your projects done. It's sounds like a good move to stay home and catch up. Sounds like you need a breather. You've been busy GAL! Sitting on the couch with your hubby sounds like a GREAT idea! Good move!!!

Can I tell you how much better I feel knowing that I am not the only working mom who will be working this weekend?
So much better! Ditto chillin' before workin'.
I think I need a list!
P.S. You inspired me to get out and get some collage paper (I am collaging my office door with my goals for 2007.) Pretty scapbooking paper is just what it needs to pump me up!
P.P.S. My word for 2007 is s-t-r-e-t-c-h. Thanks for that push.

While you're working on those projects I am trying to finish my HOF entry and the 2 Peas scrapbook contest entry. I'll be thinking of you. Good luck with your work.
About that book...I have been dying to hear more about it. Any chance you can tell us when it's due to release, what the book is about, who the guest artists are if you're using any, etc.?

I guess that means you're not going to the Home Show this weekend? http://www.eugenehomeshow.com
Maybe Chris can bring Simon?

Where did your sister get that too cool t-shirt for Simon? And Simon's other too cool shirt "funky little dude"- do you know where that one came from too? I have a 2 year old, and he just looks too cute in cool little shirts! Would love to get ones like Simon has.

Fantastic shirt. I want one for myself. LOL!
I have to say I really enjoy reading your blog. Love hearing about the family, especially about Simon. My son Aidan was recently diagnosed w/autism. He is almost 3 and I keep telling myself it will be alright. Reading about Simon encourages me to stay postive.
Simon you are a cool dude.
Congratulations to Chris! I know you will do some postive things in Oregon.

SOoo excited at seeing what you do with your Disney photo's. Can't wait, as I need new inspiration from someone who's work I admire. I cried when you related the experieinces you all had at the "happiest place on earth" You see I am a Disney fanactic. I have 4 trips worth of pictures to scrap one of these days. The last being a Disney Cruise we took in the fall. We love Disney. So buckle down, keep on trucking and gat some inspiration from from "Mouse"
