Wow...long time no post

I have been rather busy with studying for the bar exam (again) and buying a house and working and, well, life in general.

I haven't had time to create anything lately. I will post here two little charms I made a while ago, intending to create a kit around them but never quite getting there. Maybe in the future! To download the charm, right click on the image to open it in a new page and "save as" a .png file!

Anyhow, enjoy! As always, I would love to see your pages! Sign the guestbook below where you can upload your pages to this site!

Easter Tags

WOW! The weather this weekend is finally feeling a bit more like spring! I love the 65 degree weather with a cool breeze. It makes we want to take a walk. BUT since I can't sleep and it's 3 a.m. I just decided to play with some spring colors. Here are a few Easter Tags for you. You get all five tags. I am not one to use tags in my pages, but maybe someone will just love these...is that person you? Let me know! As always, feel free to post your scrapbook pages in my layout guestbook or just leave me a message!

QPs for Cuties!

I finished the bar exam yesterday. For those of you who don't know, it's a two day exam. The first day is three hours of essays, lunch and three hours of essays. Day two is three hours to answer 100 multiple choice, lunch and three hours of multiple choice.
Needless to say I was wound up. I cried after the first day and almost threw up the second day. It was miserable. It's over now.
Because of the bar, I have been less than creative the past few weeks. So, I decided to post a few quick pages I have made over the years. I have never posted them here...I think. Enjoy and remember...show me your layouts! I have a layout guestbook at the bottom of the page or you can just throw me a link to follow!
Thanks!

My husband bought a neused car. Yes, another neused vehicle. This is his toy car though. We drove all the way to Knoxville TN to pick it up from a very nice UPS driver who was selling it. Car enthusiasts...tisk tisk...such an expensive hobby. Anyhow, I took a picture of my husband with his new car. It was a beautiful trip. The mountains in between PA and TN are just amazing and if you ever get to go to Gatlinburg I suggest you go. Just wonderful!

For this page I used my travel kit. I know I have it posted in this blog. I used a road map on TN of the area we were in, Knoxville. Grab this kit if you like it!
