Long time, no blog

After five days without blogging, I hardly know where to begin!

Friday night was a rock-star party night.  A friend of ours got us on the guest list to see Twisted Sister at the Myth.  What an awesome good time! I frickin LOVE jammin to 80's rock!!  The song, "We're Not Gonna Take It!" brings back a ton of memories from college and I knew it would be fun to see Dee Snider and all the original members rockin out and dressed up.  I was not disappointed! Heather and Lanee came out with us too.  I am pretty mad that I didn't bring my camera out that night.  I always have it in my purse but took it out before we left because the show was at Myth and I didn't think they'd let me bring it in.  Of course it happened to be a night that cameras WERE allowed, so I got screwed out of taking a ton of fun pictures.  Oh well!  After the show we met some friends at The Bird in Mplwd.  I hadn't been to that dive in about 10 years and once I got inside, I realized that not a dang thing had changed. Even the music!  It was all the same old-school stuff I danced to 10 years ago, so I had a great-ol' time shaking my booty on the dance floor!! Several shots of tequila and some beer made me feel pretty groovy!!

Drinking and staying out so late wasn't the best idea since I had plans to get up early Saturday morning to scrap with some of my girlfriends.  This gave me about 5 hours of sleep....not nearly enough to free myself from the effects of the night before.  Oh well! I wanted to get started on my Madeline Island scrap project.  Check out what I got done so far!

Here is the cover.  I bought book board and covered it with papers from the Magnolia line.  I am using the coordinated line to do this whole mini-book.

I have about 30-40 pictures that will go into this album when finished.  It was very hard to narrow it down from the 200 pictures we took on this trip!  I have to do the pages chronologically and in order so that I know where to punch the holes.

Intro page

Lunch and margaritas in Duluth

and the ferry ride!

Thats all I got done so far, but I will get to work on it soon :)

I have some other layouts that I did in the past week that I finally got to scan in.  I have to say, this new computer is soooo much faster than my old one, I was able to scan and stitch all of these layouts in like 1/4 of the time.

These are all lifts/sketches from the new BH Sketches book. 

I sure have put my new Cricut to use!

and this one, a farewell to Fall!

I will try to be better about blogging this week :)

Have a good one!
