I made this card for the ATU Challenge #34. It's pretty simple, but I like it.
Basic Grey paper, Vivid Dye Ink, misc. scraps of paper, doodlebug designs rub ons and small brads.
The card size is 4.25" x 5.5"

She's back in BLOGLAND....
Hey gang, I'm back. I took a hiatus, but decided I should get back to my recording of my days and nights...
It's gonna start off kinda boring. I apologize for this now and hope it will get more exciting over time.
I'm a creature of routine at heart. In my opinion, this makes me boring (and easy to stalk, if someone wanted to do that). I do the same things on the same days. I walk the same way to work everyday and the same way back home. I go to the same stores (this is mainly because I know where everything is and HATE wandering down EVERY aisle. I even drive the same way.
I am not going to sum up the last year and a half, but let's just say things are much different and I've had kind of a rough year. I am finally at a *semi-happy* place in my life. I feel I am heading in the right direction (or many right directions).
Last week was a typical week, I worked my day job, my night job, made cards and reorganized my scrap table. This weekend I worked on my mom's birthday card, my cousin's birthday card and some other random card projects. I also cleaned up my scrap mess that I made while creating graduation and father's day cards. I also
Father's Day was kind of a bust when it came to selling my cards. I had a bunch of custom orders and made a few generic Father's Day cards. I was proud of the generic father's day cards, but only a couple sold.
Graduation cards are clearly what I should have concentrated on this time around. I couldn't keep those in stock. Notes to self for next year!
My day job is challenging, but I'm very happy to be employed and like my boss and coworkers! I feel like I just started there and in August I will be celebrating my third year at the same company! Time flies... tough to keep up with it sometimes!
Because I have a tendency to be long-winded, I put a time limit on this post. I have to stop in three minutes.
I'll leave with a photo of my fridge for your amusement. :)
The wine is not for me. One bottle was left when a friend visited. The second is for guests when they visit and want to drink wine. I currently have one wine glass and one martini glass (for guests since I only drink beer).
The Cool whip container is actually full of thawing chicken.
Time's up, I'll return again with more words and photos later.

been a minute since I posted.....
...have no fear, I'm still here.... pulling my head out of the books long enough to say hello to my readers in blogland...
*waves*
Here is my horoscope for today:
Although your mind is firmly tethered to your future, today's steady Taurus Moon in your hidden 4th House of Early Childhood reveals your desire to stay right where you are. You are more interested not in holding on to the status quo rather than risking what you have for an unknown reward. But looking back will only make you nostalgic or fearful. Be brave and face the unfamiliar that's right around the corner.
I have been thinking/dreaming about J for a while now. It's silly. No, worse than silly, it's stupid and unrealistic and a waste. I know this, but how do I stop the thoughts from crossing through my mind. I need a distraction in the form of a boy.
Okay, maybe that isn't the solution either...
It's all I got for now.
In happy news, I finished my holiday greeting cards. I have to do the inside message, but then I decorate envelopes and they are outta here!
:)
I will post pics after everyone receives their card in the mail.

... and I'm gonna be.....
... In Seattle to see Kevin Smith, LIVE AND IN PERSON.... TOMORROW! (Saturday 10/17)
can't even tell you how excited I am....
In addition to that.... I believe I'll be single again.... um, very soon.
The metal dude is nice, but I think I'm just better solo. Especially when I'm too busy for words between work and school!!
Listen, I'm not giving up on dudes completely, but waiting for one of two things: my equal (meet my list of minimum requirements) or Silent Bob.
:D
Wish me luck on good driving and good parking karma and finding the place easily!
Have a good weekend, everyone!!!
xoxo

Um, how do I say this....
... oh, I'm no longer single.
Whew! There. I said it.
So I happened to meet this guy online at the end of July and we just HIT it off for some reason. We chatted online everyday (still do, in fact) then we decided to meet IRL. The first meeting happened over Labor Day weekend.
We had fun watching movies, listening to music and getting to know each other in real life.
Despite my frazzled nerves, there was still a connection with our face to face meeting, and after some discussion, we decided to date each other exclusively.
I'm still taking it slow, because I have A LOT of fear when it comes to relationships. Fear of getting hurt, fear of hurting someone else, fear of abandonment, etc... Let's just sum it up by saying I have issues. Gah, I hate admitting things like that.... makes me feel so, um, human.
Anyway, school is about to start in just over a week. Still gotta iron out my schedule and figure out the book situation. Oh, and mentally prepare for giving up the sad little social life that I've celebrated over the past few months.
Oh, you want to know about my boyfriend? His name is Matt, he's two years younger than me, he is into metal, playing guitar, video games, movies... oh, and me. :D He lives in Vancouver, WA.
He and I are crazy in sync and often say the same things at the same time. We are close in age which makes it fun when we make pop culture references. :D
Most importantly, he gets me. Oh, and I get him, too. That part of this whole this is really new, different, mindblowing, astonishing and well, pretty stellar.
We are in the relationship infancy where everything is so sweet and sappy. We already have lots of inside jokes... just between us. :D
So anyway, just wish me (us) luck.
Love is a battlefield....
