Such a nice weekend :)

like I expected, I had a wonderful weekend :)

I had my class on Friday afternoon and got to talking with two cool ladies in my class, Rebecca and Kel.  Not only are the three of us interested in web design (obviously), we all have an interest in scrapbooking.  Kel is a digi scrapper...I was totally impressed by her work, check out her blog Kel Michaels.  Rebecca and I have never actually digitally scrapped, but Kel told us about a blog called Scrapping with Ikea Goddess that has tons of links to FREE DIGITAL STUFF.  I have checked a couple of them out and I can't wait to get a minute to play around with it a little bit.  The class was good this week...I actually felt like I learned some new tricks in Photoshop.  Nothing too fancy, but things I just didn't know how to do before! **Like the animated gif I used to create my new profile pic**

I had plans to go out for sushi on Friday night with a group of friends.  We went to Saji-Ya.  LOVE it.  Read my Saji-ya Review.  I used my Photoshop skills again to put this picture of my drink on a black background.  I also learned how to create my own custom brush (in this case, the copyright info).

We hung out on the deck at L & R's house after dinner since it was such a nice night.  It was so clear, in fact, that we were able to spot a satellite in the atmosphere....we watched it move very slowly over the course of an hour or so.  Very cool!  We called it a night shortly after 10 and then S & I went back to my house to watch a movie.

I cleaned like a mad woman all morning on Saturday. My house looks pretty good right now, gotta love that!

Spent Saturday up at my parents house, see previous post.

I got up at a decent time on Sunday morning and then Lanee came over to go on a walk with me.  The area that I live on is just on the border of the wilderness.  This little creek is less than a block from my house...

There is a new development of Million $$$+ homes right around the corner, such as this gorgeous house...

.

 

We ended up walking a big loop through the new development, past some horse stables, by the lake, and into another newer development....3 miles total and it only took us an hour.  Felt great, we plan to do this frequently :)  Here is the album of our walk.

Went to Norman Quack's  for lunch (I'll add the review when I get to writing it up) and then came home and did some gardening.  Can't wait to see my beautiful lilies when they bloom this summer!

Hope everyone had a great weekend too :)

Beautiful pictures Kristi! That was some walk. :) I wish I knew how to use all the tricks Photoshop has to offer, but I can't ever seem to get enough time to sit down and really play with it. I'd love to figure out how to make parts of a picture B&W and leave some of it color. Did you learn how to do that??

Totally off subject...I bought Nora Roberts' Circle Triology at the beginning of the month, going to start on book 1 tonight.
