  • Ah the skittles crew. I’ve been thinking about crew since Kush asked me to come cox yesterday. I didn’t because I had a million things to get done (hence the no posting), but I had crew on the brain. I decided to get out some pictures from last year and do a fun layout. I’ve been doing so much for eBay that I haven’t done much for me. Now that all the Honorable Mention calls have gone out for Hall of Fame, and I didn’t get one, I feel a kind of presure lifted off me. I don’t have to worry about how anyone thinks about how I scrapbook because I’m just me. Well, I don’t know if that made much sense, but I’m some how at ease about the whole thing. I also did do an album for eBay. I really like making things and not having to worry about what is going to go in there. I won’t be posting it tonight though, Bj always does that for me. I kind of wish I knew how to do all of that kind of stuff myself. Bj had to help me use his majorly confusing printer, our internet connection, posting things, html, you get the picture. Well that’s what happens when you know how to do all of those things, everyone wants you to help them. 🙂
    So I just got the coolest pictures out my window, the sky is going from an amazing pink/fushia to a deep purple. I only managed to get two before the batteries ran out, enjoy!

  • 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!
