I almost missed the deadline! Had this one done just last night, took the pic this morning while the lighting was good, and then was out all day working. JUST made it home in time to post!!

I love the accordian flower technique, I think I'd like to try it on a more girly page, so I can actually do some layering and make the flowers look like FLOWERS. I think reducing the fold size would make it a little thinner, although I don't mind a certain amount of bulk. And I only say that because someone else had mentioned that everyone thought they were too bulk - ? I am the Queen of bulk! LOL! It's actually the starfish that's REALLY going to take up a big chunk of scrapbook space. Should I even mention how bad those starfish stunk when I took them out of the plastic baggie??

But yeah, this is one of my favorite scrapbook subjects, of course! I'd love to really hammer out a bunch of Catalina pics from our trip in February. We'll be going to Hawaii in August, and I've barely even touched out pictures from the cruise last summer. :(

This is page one of a two page layout, but I didn't have to finish the other one before the deadline. :) Seriously MUST get back to my "at least 15 minutes a day" goal for scrapbooking...

I just ran 4 miles in 40:12 in 88 degree heat and WIND. Ugh. My only thought: survival. Wondering how I'm ever going to get back into running - ?? I ran 14 miles last week, 24 the week before, and 14 the week before that. I guess I'm not doing as bad as I thought, but I'm not getting any faster, and I'm not losing any weight, either!

Thursday we leave for Silver City, NM for my sister's wedding! And yes, I am the matron of honor... Which means tiny strapped dress, although fairly flattering. Tight on the bust, and then falls loose but not "pregnant-looking."

The dilemma is not so much what to eat - I can pretty much find low carb food anywhere. The true dilemma is how can I run while there? I'm going to have to force myself to wake up early, because it'll be even hotter there than it is here. But - you know me, I'm SO not a morning person! Been staying up until about 3:00 these days.

And I ramble on...I think I will have some of my sister's wedding cake, but I can go without the rest of whatever.

Poor Eddie has so much work to do! I think he's going to be stressed out the whole time - we're going to be gone for 6 days. I'm wondering if he can bring his computer and work on images.

I'm so excited to see my parents! :D
