  • Woah, that’s a lot of scrapbooking stuff!  The Oregon Scrapbook Convention was crazy!  I, of course, got way too many awesome things (but they were all so awesome I had too). Bj was a total sweetie and drove my new digital camera to Albany so that Angela could bring it to me. I got some great pictures of everyone at the convention which I will post below. I had the most fun hanging out with Beachwood. Her mom was just way too cool, I will post the great recipe she gave me for these yummy orange cranberry muffins after I make my own batch so I can take some pictures. I am still really tired after the set up, work on your feet for two days, and take down. But I feel so much better after snuggling in my bed at my mom’s house last night. I tried not to bug her too much since she is in crazy workaholic mode trying to finish everything for finals next week (man, it’s a good thing she’s not a procrastinator like me, or she would never finish)! I was going to hang out with Brent and Bj at my dad’s but they were watching “guy” movies and playing “guy” video games before their round of golf today (one of five planned for their spring break extravaganza). The week didn’t get off to a great start for them, playing in the rain behind the slowest foursome in history (slower than the six man team ahead of them!). I drove home this morning in “the rig.” I always feel happy driving it, it just makes me think of the summer and our road trip. Relaxed most of the day and worked on layouts.  I’ll have a lot of new stuff up on eBay soon. That’s pretty much it for now, I’ll post the pics.


    Beachwood and Mrs. Beachwood, so cute!

    and Denise!

  • Hello all from Beachwood’s abode. I love this place and I never want to leave (well I guess I will as long as I can take some of the homemade goodies with me)! I woke up early this morning to get ready to go to Albany and meet Jen and Angela to drive to Portland. I spent the day setting up our booth at the Oregon Scrapbook Convention.  Ew, if you don’t know, scrapbooking supplies can get really dirty when they move from city to city (well the packaging anyway).  So I’m pretty beat, but just wanted to let you all know where I was. Bj was a prince and drove my new digital camera to Albany today so that Angela could bring it to me tomorrow, so look forwards to some great pictures!

  • Yes, I have another journal. A journal in which I can tell absolutely everything to and rant about everything as well. I decided to start this my senior year of high school. I had bouts with insomnia and I tried everything to be able to sleep. My mom made me little curtains for around my bed, I got my wizard fan (it’s on a new motor but I still sleep with that thing every night!), I avoided doing anything in my bed but sleep, and I was still having issues. The journal helped me so much. It really helped my clear my head. I use the same blank paged sketch book for everyone (I think I’m up to nine or ten), but I can’t find that kind right now, so it touch and go since I only have like twenty pages left on my old one. Anyway, I recently braved my little secret nook at my mom’s house and managed to find six of them (I don’t know where I stashed away the first ones- oops!). I started reading old entries and they are really funny. Like page after page after page of dreaming about boys and if one was ever going to ask me out. Little did I know it would be three years before one woud. Man when Bj asked me out I started to go nuts in my journal: “I’m in an extream state of happieness, one previously never reached.” Hehehe, there are other funny stories about other things, I’ll have to dig some more things up later. So I think this blog is just a place where I can keep track of everyday things, things I see (and you will see more of that when my new digital comes!!), and funny links, like this. So with that, peace out. Oh, and it’s raining here and it sounds so cool on the skylight!
