Over here at the Will and Paz house we love us some Matt and Kim and right now I can get down to this tune:

Yesterday it was pretty cloudy all day. We pretty much stayed in and watched movies. The sun eventually came out, but by then I was just done. One horrible thing happened yesterday.....................I dropped a half a cup of paintbrush water all over my laptop. BUT with quick thinking, and a blow dryer, I think I saved it. Its running, has had no problems, and I am just crossing my fingers.

Today, we took a walk up to the laundromat, I had to do some clothes before I leave tomorrow. Such an exciting day, haha. I will be going to Empire City tomorrow, play a few slots, hopefully I win big:) Then on Monday we are off to PA for a week(me and my mom that is) Should be a laid back sort of vacation. I will be back on the 18Th, probably wont be on the computer that much, which is ok. I have a book I need to finish and a new one to start.

Getting excited with the prospect of a Chicago trip in September to see the gang. I never thought I would see them again so soon, cant wait. So if you guys are reading this.................................................................can Tony come along??

Ok, this leads me to my third layout this week, yay. This has been the most I have done in a long time. With this one, I did alot of experimenting. Did alot of gesso painting on the background, some Modge Podge and some paper doilies. It has alot of texture but you really cant see that in the photos. I also did alot of sewing, and left myself with blisters on my fingers, ouch. Hopefully it wont be to painful to work those slots tomorrow. Oh the things we do for scrapping!

Oh, and before I forget........tomorrow, the 11th is my 2 year blog Anniversary. Time to pull out the cyber cake. Thank you blog, you have allowed me to meet many a very cool people. Hooray!!!!

Day 2 and 3 "Girls just wanna have fun"

Thursday, July 9, 2009

Well days 2 and 3 have been good vacation days. On Tuesday we took a long stroll up to the stores(it was a tad hot out) Picked up some photos, lots from Sisiversary and camping, good times. Had lunch, returned a movie and then just chilled out.

Yesterday we spent most of the day down at the park, me trying to get color, while Will napped under a tree, lol.

Today is gonna be a stay indoors sort of day, they said some clouds, but the sky is completely covered in them. I will take advantage of this gloomy day and get things done inside that I have been meaning to complete. Anyway, I have been working on the same dang layout for 2 days(well more like 4 hours when you really do the math) I was in dire need of a paper piercer because I have been manually punching holes in my layouts for some time now with a needle, its killer. I was gonna order one off of online but it wont get here in time, so for now I whipped together one with an Ikea mini pencil, some tape and a heavy duty needle. It works like a charm!!!

I did this layout in honor of some of the fun ladies I met at Sisiversary. To bad I didnt have a picture of all of us!!!

Day one "Joy"

Tuesday, July 7, 2009

Being city free is pleasant. I am not missing the whole hustle and bustle of commuting and getting to where I need to be after exiting the subway, but I do kinda miss the little girl I take care of. I am sure when they get back she will be walking, and then I will be in for it. The 4Th of July proved to be a fun one. We went out to my sister's for the day. I traded in my old laptop for a new one, and I settled on a pretty white and black HP, which I love. We sang some Karaoke, had some margaritas, burnt some corn(no, not on purpose)

Skyped a favorite Canadian, and watched some of "My Bloody Valentine" by the way, its super bloody. On Sunday we headed on back to the homestead and that ended our 4Th of 2009.

Monday started my 3 week vacation so yesterday we finally made it to the beach.

After many weeks of rain here in NY, we finally are getting some sunshine, and I mean not a cloud in the sky sort of sunshine. Of course we only lasted an hour and a half because the sun was so strong, but we did it. Finally I am not so Casper white anymore. I am also aiming to make something new everyday on these days off. That is my plan, we will see what happens with that.

But so far I came up with a little something for the OLW # 55 which was the word "Joy". Well I have found a new found joy in vintage photos that aren't mine. While in Greenpoint Brooklyn last month, I came across a great shop with all things vintage. They had a box full of old photos, and I found one of two boys who are on a lake in their tubes, swimming around. Totally screams Summertime, so very nostalgic and of course it brings to mind the word "Joy" Now I am on the lookout for some more vintage photos to make some layouts with, there is just so much you can do with them, so much story exudes from them. I just don't know what it is.

There you have it. Be back later or tomorrow. Have a great day:)

Happy 4th!!
