Thursday ramblings...

Books, books and more books...

I just placed an order with Amazon.com for the following books:

Twelve Sharp (Stephanie Plum Novels) - Janet Evanovich (Wahoo!)
Photo Finished - Laura Childs (Read her first Scrapbooking mystery novel. It was an easy read and I liked it)
Death By Design (Scrapbooking Mystery Books) - Laura Childs
How to Make a Journal of Your Life - Daniel Price
Alphabetica : An A-Z Creativity Guide for Collage and Book Artists

I can't wait to get them! Twelve Sharp and Death by Design won't be available until June, but the rest are on their way!

Have any of you read these books? Let me know what you think about them.

Today is a pretty easy going day, just the usual Schtuff. I am going to mow the lawn for my workout this morning (did I mention that I am going to start working out?? Started yesterday), I love to mow the lawn, burns lots of calories (see this). I love freshly cut grass.
I will spend the afternoon with Nate, teaching him how to ride his new bike! Daddy took him to the store last night and he got to pick it out. I asked him about it when I got home from class and his face just lit up! Will post pics later.
Oh, and Devyn is getting his hair highlighted for the first time tonight. Why does he want it highlighted? I guess it's the cool thing to do. His dad doesn't think so, but Devyn asked that we let him make more of his own decisions. I figure this is one he should get to make. I have to admit that I am a little nervous about it though. He does have picture day tomorrow. This could be disastrous. We will see.

Other than that, I am going to sit and enjoy the sunshine today. No pressing projects, no major to-do list. Gotta love that! I hope your day is sunny too!

Oh, and thanks to all the girls from my Rolodex class last night. We had a great time, and the projects turned out great. Enjoy!


Thanks for listening, if you're still there!:)

Hey, Stacey!!! Looks great!!! How on earth do you find the time? Must be youth....... In my next life, the one I come back to with 48 hour days, I'm going to do this!! Keep up the good work - you're terrific - such an asset to the Zone - that's another plus - it's getting bigger and better all the time!!! Can't wait to order on line so I don't have to stop, lose momentum and run to the store.....

I'll keep checking to make sure you aren't talking about me!!!!
