Happy Easter!
I'll be back on later with pictures from "the hunt" and from last night's egg "painting" session with Drew. :) But I wanted to take the opportunity to shout HE IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED!

Something I really want...
Have you ever had something that you just want... you don't know why... but it's been something you've coveted for years? I have. I don't know if it's passed down from my mom genetically - she's a pig collector (ex-law enforcement) or if it's just something about this item that just makes me smile, but take a gander at it if you will.

It's at one of my favorite stores called the Sturbridge Yankee Workshop. I would love for my whole house to just look like this catalog... rustic, simple, just like my style... nothing over the top... nothing too elaborate, just functional but stylish...
But this print they have is called the Flying Pig Print. I am absolutely in love with this picture and have been for years. I do believe this is going to be one of those items that will have to adorn the walls in my scrap room as I just have to have this picture.

I've Been Tagged!
I was TAGGED my fellow Bad Girl Rachel. Bad Girl you ask... what's that? If you have to ask... you just need to take the time to check it out. It's a different kind of kit club -- and the DT leaves me drooling. Check it out... www.badgirlskits.com (And yes, you need to check out Rachel's work -- she's got quite the artistic eye... her collage effect on her lo's makes me envious!) Doodlebug4444 is her name there. ;)
Any-who - here is my response to her tag!
You have to post a fact that starts with each letter of your middle name. Then you tag a person for each letter. If you don't have a middle name, use your maiden name.
My Middle name is RENE
R - I love the ROCKY Mountains. I lived in Colorado for several years. It was, hands down, my most favorite place on the planet. I was never so active and outdoors. I knew my cardinal directions there! (The mountains were always West where I lived -- made me feel so smart!) I love the cool mountain evenings... the snow... the drive to work every day was just a treat because you got to see Pike's Peak every day... what an amazing, majestic site. I found these two top pictures just surfing the net ...
but THIS one is from my friend Bob Falcone's site -- he's an amateur photographer (but is more "professional" than amateur. :) in my humble opinion! You need to check out his website/photography... it's AMAZING! http://www.bobfireman.com/
or this one (he did as well) it's at the Garden of the Gods... after a snowfall -- I mean, is this not BEAUTIFUL!?!
Thanks Bob for letting me use your goodies on my blog! Again, another shameless plug for his work -- you should go see it yourself! http://www.bobfireman.com/ He is also a fire investigator for the Pueblo FD in Colorado so he's got some cool fire shots!
E - I'm Energetic! When I worked as a Communications Shift Supervisor (I was a 911 operator... police dispatcher... fire/EMS dispatcher and in charge of the personnel on my shift -- midnights) at the El Paso County Sheriff's they used to call me "ritilin girl" because I was the only one that had a bundle of energy at 2 am. That's when one Dr. Pepper would literally make me bounce off the walls. But, I kept everyone entertained! :)
N - I love things NEAT and organized. I'm obsessive compulsive I think -- if I had to give it a label but to me it's just silly NOT to be that way because why spend all this time looking for something that if you were neat and organized, you'd know right where it was? See, so it's my way of circumventing stress and drama. :) Now if I can only explain to my 3 year old how it's important to him because it's important to ME! Ha! I'm kind of like that guy on Sleeping With The Enemy (ha ha ha)
E - Estes Park - This is the most beautiful place on the PLANET! I took Drew here 2 Junes ago when he was about 18 months. It was SUCH a fantastic trip. We took a 4 hour hike through the Rocky Mountains together. He did fantastic. When it got too scary for him to walk on his own, I had a carrier I put him in. Here are some pictures I took from that trip. :) Enjoy these.
(did you notice a little trend there in my answers?) Yes, I long for the mountains. :) One of these days.... aaaahhhhhh
And since I have to tag a person for each letter (this is gonna be tough coming up with two "e's" Hmm... and an N... yikes... going to have to think this one over....

Feelin' the mojo
I've got the scrappin mojo again! :) It feels good. :) I finished an album tonight (but I can't post pictures because it's for a Father's Day present). I will after the fact... if I remember!
Here's one I threw together tonight. I really like the way it turned out. These are back to school photos of Josh. Title is Back to School Checklist. Journaling is hidden in the pocket. Papers are KI Memories. Chipboard Frame is Lil Davis Designs. Stickers are Chatterbox. Sticker on pocket and tab are SEI. Buttons and brads are from various places and I'm too lazy to go see where the numbered stickers are from. :)
OK...and if you DO look at this post... will you leave me a comment and tell me if it's letting you see the WHOLE picture or if it's cutting it in half. When I look at it, the image is too big for the screen...??? so let me know if you can actually see it -- I DID resize it but i'm no technical genius. :) Thanks and GOODNIGHT!

How High Maintenance Are You?
You Are Low Maintenance |
 Otherwise known as "too good to be true" You're one laid back chica - and men love that! Just remember that no good guy likes a doormat. So if you find your self going along to get along... Stop yourself and put up a little bit of a fight. |
Just for laughs...
One of my best friends, Marlena, sent me this in February because she was just having one of those days and it gave her a belly laugh. I, in return, laughed so hard that I decided that it was one of those attachments that I just had to save... today was "one of those days" and when I saw it, although, yes, it's completely inappropriate, it made me laugh... and I needed it! :) So, inappropriate as it is... I hope you laugh too. :)
