Been A Long Time...
Been A Long, Lonely Lonely, Lonely Time... Are you singing yet? Well, considering I still get views on this blog, I guess you could be wondering where I've been. Oddly enough, I've been busy. I'm hardly ever busy (photography-wise) Jan-March--which really isn't a bad thing since in the past fall/Christmas time swamps me. I guess the power of word of mouth advertising is finally taking hold. Yay!
What else have I been up to...well, we added this sweet little girl
to our house and despite her good looks, considerable charm and delightful spunk, she's a handful. I've been spending lots AND lots of time cleaning up after her and making sure she doesn't get herself into trouble. Another dog??? Yeah, we're sort of crazy...but Eric's always wanted a Boxer and the way I stumbled across was just kind of kismet. She was his two-week belated Valentine's Day present (a surprise) and he is quite smitten--even when she's naughty. She's grown quite a bit from this photo, and is now roughly the size of Seth. LOL
I was able to finish up my scrap pages for Studio Calico right before Easter weekend and if you've been on the fence about subscribing, THIS is the month to do it!!!! These are my little sneak peeks 
and tomorrow night is reveal night 12am EST..there's always a big party in the forums leading up to reveal night (we all bring our favorite celebrity dates) and then it's time to get your subs and/or add ons INTO your carts!! A little birdie told me that this reveal night is going to surpass any others....April and Scarlet are giving out RAKS!!! On another Studio Calico note, the design team has taken over the blog...no, not mutiny--just great challenges and more RAKS!
The last little thing I wanted to talk about is my little Bamboo Fun Tablet...I bought it right before Christmas, hoping I'd use it all the time for my photo editing. 
Unfortunately, I haven't. It sounded great in theory, but realistically--my desk is just roomy enough for everything that's on it, and more often or not, it's pushed to the side in favor of all my 'piles'. I paid $200 for it, it's black and the medium size (with a pen and a mouse). If you're interested in it, I'd make you a super deal. Just send me an email if you think you might want it!!
A long time ago...when I first started blogging, I'd end every post with a question and I think it's time to get back to that. I always really looked forward to reading your responses. How about this for today: If you were an animal, what would you be and why?
I'm so jealous of your little puppy!! This really makes me want another boxer...aren't they just the sweetest? Maddie actually saw my computer screen and said she wants to come play... ;)
Love your sneaks! Can't wait for the reveal!

That's a silly question...I think you know what I'd be. An elephant. Why? Because they're huge, fascinating creatures. I've always been in awe of elephants!

Glad to see you back! And love the puppy. My brother has 2 boxers, actually they are quite the boxer fanatics. The newest one is named Brooklyn and she is quite the handful also.
I have always been fascinated by giraffes. I love their coloring, grace and beauty. And I think that their innate ability to exist high above the clamour, chaos and clatter of the world below gives them an edge up on the rest of us.

Giving up on the Bamboo?! Silly rabbit. LOL I just pulled my Wacom back out but like you- it is the desk space that kills me.
Of course, you know I love that sweet little pup! :)
Hmmm, an animal? Maybe I would like to be a bird... so I could fly around and enjoy the beauty below!

You didn't tell me you got a new dog. Seth didn't tell me either, or Ella or Evynn, man not even Eric told me, and I thought Eric and I shared all our thoughts with each other. Ha! JK! She is adorable, makes me want a dog so bad! I love her little speckled nose.
If I was an animal I'd be a white Siberian tiger, I don't know why, I think they're pretty and I've always liked them. I also love sea turtles, but I hate water and I love wolves, but you only asked for one animal, so a white tiger it is...

Hello, I'm finally checking on everyone's blog...You've been busy?? What's busy?? JK, you are a lifesaver to me and I always wonder what damage I have done to your life as in life of photography, scrapbooking, family, etc. Thanks for all you do! Kort

Toady - a bird that could fly away! :)

Yep...have my head shaking & singing the song! You rocker, you!
Oh my goodness--- your new puppy-love is adorable! We've actually been looking at different breeds--- want to get a new dog while our sweet Baxter is still around-- he's getting older & not spunky enough for the kids much these days!
Look at those sneak peeks!! You are so good at the paper scrapping!!
Hmmm...if I were an animal I would be a giraffe--- I've always dreamed of a thinner, longer neck! LOL!
xoxo
