Eclectic Thoughts

Ahhh... young love!

Last night I finally watched Twilight, I have been wanting to see this movie for a while now and YEAH, it was good.  You can't help but melt into the penetrating gaze of Robert Pattinson, and feel the emotion of this young girl who has fallen head over heels in love.  Sweet movie, even with the vampire stuff, it isn't overwhelming.  So if you are into romance and a little bit of fantasy, I highly recommend!  I can't wait for the next one!

OK, so I jumped on the band wagon and joined "Twitter".  I am not a big fan of these social sites but I thought it would be fun to try to.... keep up, lol!  What I can't understand is what is the difference between the facebook feed and the twitter feed.  Are they not the same thing?  Ah well, if you are curious to try it out, or you want to follow me click HERE and sign up.   My Twitter alias is "EclecticMommy".

Pounding Pain...

Gosh, how easy it is to forget how much an ear-ache hurts.  I have been struggling with a cold/sinus infection for over a week now and yesterday morning a tiny pounding in my ear started creeping in.  Tonight however, OMG, full blown pounding and pressure.  Like a hammer banging against a metal sheet, loud and painful, not to mention the ringing, like loud white noise.  And yes, it is very painful, ouch!  This morning I was lucky enough to get into my Dr's office and he said "it looks ugly" (the inside of my ear that is) so he prescribed some antibiotics as I have some beautiful white patches on my tonsils as well (lovely).  He also prescribed some ear drops and Nasonex.  I hate Nasonex.  Anyway, just popping on to tell you I will probably be laying low tomorrow, hoping that between the Tylenol and IBProfin, I will have some pain control.

 Hugs and I hope you are all feeling much better,

A few new things to share.... coming soon...

Mark you calendars... April 1st at ScrapArtist.com.  I can't wait!

 

My Sweet Lexi

Just wanted so share a pic of my Sweet Lexi Girl.  Such a good girl, so gentle and patient and listens really well, we couldn't ask for a more loyal or loving pup.

I think she is a little bummed that I have been working on the MAC so much these days and not paying attention to her, but she snoozes right at my feet just waiting for love.

Truly the best girl ever!

Shhhhhh....

Gonna share a tiny secret, I am designing again, YIPPEE!!! 

Also the project I have been working on the past several months has been my new home based business currently serving our community.   I am providing photo/digital services of all kinds including repairs, enhancements, blow-ups, DVD/CD and Media events and I am even creating Wall Art.  I don't want to go into too much of that yet as I am currently setting up a little website with all the information etc. and will share when it is all complete.

What I am really excited about is of course is that I have gone back to what made me fall in love with digital design in the first place, creating with paints and textures.  My newest obsession is working with watercolors, and I have to say I am having a blast, and of course dabbling in doodling and creating digi tools as well.  Here is just a sneak peek of what I have been working on...

    

Plus several other items in the works as well... I can't wait for you to see them.  Well I think I may have spilled a little bit too much so shhhhhhhhh...  Tenative date for release is April 1st (and no, this is no April fools), lol!

Hugs,

Birthday Happiness...

Well, we have had two special birthdays at our house the past couple of weeks.  Our Mike has turned 7 and our Alex has turned 10.  They are definitely not my "little" guys anymore.  Yikes, I can't believe how the time has flown.  I could not be more proud of the personalities they are becoming.  They are so very different from each other (polar opposites really) but both genuine loving little souls.

Happy Birthday to my Handsome "little" Men!

Love you!!!!

 

Congrats to a Special Scrapper...

I wan to give a HUGE congrats to Rebecca aka "Denali" for being published for the first time.  Her gorgeous 2 page layout made it as a full TWO page spread in the Memory Makers March/April issue.  WTG Girl, I always knew you were a special scrapper {{Hugs to You}}!  Gosh should we now be calling you a "Centerfold Girl", lol.  Here is a peek at her Gorgeous Layout, it truly is incredible, so vibrant and colorful, WTG girl!

Thanks for all the support Denali!
Hugs,
Lisa :)

The funniest Grandma ever...

Gasp... I scrapped, lol!

I couldn't help it, these gorgeous elements are by CD Muckosky have been sitting on my desktop since before Xmas and I was itching to scrap with them.  Just a simple little layout for my Mike, he loves sledding and we had so much fun on this day.  I only wish I took more photos.

 

Gosh, that felt really good.  I haven't scrapped in a long time, just have been dealing with real life.  Things are good.  Everyone is busy, the boys are in swimming again and loving it.  Doug is busy with work, really busy (which is good) and I have been concentrating on a new project that I have been procrastinating about... and I am also thinking about lending my hat to the design world again... shhh... I haven't made a firm decision yet.  I am anxiously wanting to start my own business (to run out of my home to server our local community) and have been working on a website for a while now (and that is what I have been procrastinating about, geesh, I really am not that website tech-savy, lol).  I am thinking that digital design could be a small part of what I offer.  Gosh, so much to do, I will share more details later.  For now I just really needed to take a leisurely break to do some much needed digi-scrapping.

Hugs!
