a sewing machine!
I worked on these two layouts over at Susan's house yesterday. She is the SB Stitching Queen and showed me how to make the nice zig-zag stitch that is seen on these layouts. I finally got the hang of it after the 3rd page and now I am hooked! After having some margaritas, Susan also taught me this cool trick to get white journaling. I know everyone wants to know how to do this, but I have already confessed the secret to Christina P and Lindsay T but I am reluctant to tell the rest of the world. If everyone knows how to do it, will it still be the coolest new thing???!! Of course not! So the rest of you can keep wishin'! Just kidding!
I can't wait to use up the rest of my KI patterned papers. Love 'em, but soooooo sick of them too. I just looked through my latest album and 9/10 Los are KI. Time to move on, baby!
This LO is from Mary's bridal shower:

And here we have some funky painting on these Heidi Swapp ghost letters. Why? Not only because it is so cool, but because those darn glue dots show right through those effin letters...what else can I do???? Notice how great my stitching is on this one! I am so proud of myself.....imagine being Susan W's sewing protege'! lol
What else is new??
**I re-watched Napolean Dynamite the other night. It is soooo much funnier the 2nd time! In fact, I thought the movie was pretty stupid the first time I saw it.
**Borrowed Sex & the City Season 1 from a friend. I never watch TV, so I am really clueless about all these popular shows. I figure if I don't see it from episode 1, why bother? so I never bother! Anyway, I watched the first 4 episodes this morning. Slightly entertaining, but I won't be watching it is fast as I can and then be off to borrow the 2nd season or anything. I just can't commit myself to TV. The internet, yes. TV, no! But it was pretty funny and there were some pretty cute guys :)
**Got my new Motorola RazR phone from Cingular a few days ago. Still haven't done anything to it but turn it on and a couple fo calls! I think I am off to download some funky ringtones. This phone seems pretty cool and the sound/reception has been great so far
**A little embarrassing moment this afternoon. While at Shinder's, E and I took a little venture to the "back room". No need to explain myself here if you know what I mean(lol!), but I was a little embarrassed to leave the room and coincidentally running into a good friend of ours and his 6-year-old daughter standing directly outside of that room, looking at the comic books. She says to me, "I saw you come from that room!" Ummmm. What does a 6-year-old know about a room like that? So I say, "I know! That is so cool that we saw each other! Are you excited to start first grade next week?" Yikes!
**Lanee came over tonight and we made tacos. Yummy!! I am a Mexican Food Freak. Love it!!! Made a lot extra to have some for lunch tomorrow:)
**Only one more week of vacation and then back to school (work!)
I guess that is all I can think of right now!
Oh fun LO's!!! :-) Love your new blog banner, BTW!

1. Love the new grey background. So much easier to read!
2. LOL on getting caught coming out of the "back room" - I would have died on the spot, I think!
3. SATC rocks....keep watching, it only gets batter. I was so hooked I bought and watched the entire series, (yup, all 6 seasons), this summer.
4. Love the layouts...yes, get a machine! I love my singer. It's basic and just what I needed. Got it for under $100 at Wal-Mart. I use it an almost every card and layout I create. Adds that special something!
