I have been tagged by Aimeslee to reveal 7 random facts/habits about myself:

1. I cannot drink milk on the date (or after) of expiration no matter how good the milk still is.
2. I love love love cream cheese and can't get enough of it!
3. I fart a lot! Not a cute fact but a fact nonetheless. (Probably because I am a little lactose intolerant and love milk and cream cheese. Cute!)
4. I cannot save money for the life of me. Heaven forbid an emergency were to happen. I would have to sell some plasma or "something: to get some money together.
5. I am addicted to blogs and e-mail. I check my e-mail about a gabillion times a day.
6. I love athletic shoes and have a hard time buying/wearing anything other than Nike. I do have a couple of non-Nike shoes but it is hard to force myself to wear them.
7. I want a tattoo but won't get one. No reason. Just won't get one.

For anyone that is reading my randon facts, consider yourself tagged and get to exposing your nastiest facts!

More 2SCD April Kit Layouts

Here are the other two layouts I did with the April 2007 kit at 2 Scrappy Chix Designs.

The title of this layout is "Everybody was Kung Fu fighting; Those dogs were fast as lightning". Okay I used a little poetic license to make this song title fit my layout. The song lyrics are reall those "cats" but come on folks.... these are dogs here. As you know I think this picture is hilarious. See my post from April 6, 2007.

What can I say, I am really into using song lyrics this month. The title of this layout is "Livin' with Sugar dog is the only way to stay sane." Again I took a poetic license and used Sugar instead of Sublime's Louie dog. If you can't tell, I love me some Sugar dog. She is a nut dog fo sho. But she is also very photogenic.... well she sits still long enough for me to take some good photos of her knucklehead self!

Can I get a HOOT HOOT!?!?!?!?!?!

The May 2007 kit from 2 Scrappy Chix Designs has been revealed. You can go to 2 Scrappy Chix Designs to purchase. You may not know this but I am a big fan of owls right now. I love that Hambly and Sassafrass Lass have kickLass owls in their lines! I don't have my hands on this kit yet.... but I am foaming at the mouth to get it. Seriously. Robots, skulls AND crossbones, owls, felt flower and Thickers. Can life get any better than this? Did you see the ribbon? I need to weave a dress out of that ribbon. Would that make it Haute Couture fashion or more like Hoot Couture!?!?!?!?! {Sorry I cracked myself up with that one!}

I hope you will scoot on over to 2SCD and pick up your kits today! And don't forget to look through the rest of the store. Julie, the owner of 2SCD, has some great stuff there!

2SCD April 2007 Kit

Here are two really fun projects that I did with the April 2007 kit from http://www.2scrappychixdesigns.com.

{Sugar} - This was a highly experimental layered layout that I did trying to mimic a frame I saw with layered pieces of glass to which you adhered your photos in a collagey effect. The acrylic sheets that I used are clear but do not appear so when layered. In the future, I would use transparency sheets. I still like the look of this layout in person.

{My Girls} - I made this layout for a friend on a canvas. I added a few items to the monthly kit like felt flowers, buttons, and a girnormous paper clip. I love the end results!

Carpool Lane

If I wanted to, I think I could qualify to drive in the carpool lane. These are photos of what my daily commute consists of. Morning, noon, and night. I take my 5 minute, 2 mile drive to work with these co-workers. No they don't pitch in for gas. No they don't offer to drive. No they don't even bring me a donut every once in a while. Sugar, Convict, and Peanut expect to be driven back and forth from home to work every morning. Come on, do you really expect them to run to work!?!?!?!?!

Today's Mood: Bitchy

Dog pictures....

I have a few dog photos that I have taken over the last couple of days that I thought I would show everyone. As you may or may not know, my family and I have 13 dogs at our ranch with another four more that are being fostered and will be brought to the ranch shortly. Anyways, 12 of the 13 dogs are "found" dogs. Dogs that we adopted. Ten of the 12 just showed up. Four of the 12 are really neighbor dogs that just found our house a better place to stay and with dog friends to hang out with. So this is Peanut and Sugar... looks vicious don't they. Believe me when I say this... they aren't. These two knuckleheads are just playing. Thought it was a pretty neat photo.
Here we have the Babraham Lincoln aka Baby. I took her and Sugar out this afternoon to take pictures in the wildflowers. Neither Baby nor Sugar really followed my directions very well. So I had to take what I could get as far as poses are concerned. Now Sugar is a very photogenic dog but she was too interested in the unfamiliar surroundings. She decided there were about a gabillion blades of grass and a gazillion wildflowers that she needed to inspect and smell. Baby did okay. She sniffed the ground quite a bit too but I got a couple of good photos out of her.

Weekend Goals

Maybe if I publish it... it will come. Besides I have been jealous over everyone else using these cutie patootie catalog cards. Now I am in the cool clique!
