Hmmm...  Today was misheard lyrics.  Bah.  I don't like this prompt really.  I thought about it and thought about it.  Then John said, Michael Stipe mumbles when he sings, so write about your record.  I said ok, I'll write about my record. My record, my very expensive Record Store Day exclusive that I couldn't find in a store, that I paid through the nose for.  That I'm sure will come back to bite me in the butt, but it is signed by Mike Mills, and he is my favorite.  So, I have one.  And the … [Read more...]

Today our prompt was: When did you think you would become an adult.  I don't think I'm an adult yet...  So I was feeling hard pressed to complete this prompt.  I thought and thought...  Slept on it even.  Then I remembered this photo I took of Ms. Dani's board.  It was perfect for this prompt. What I love most about the picture I took is that Sean is the only kid that picked something that really isn't a career.  There are doctors, singers, electricians...  Even a monster truck driver.  But … [Read more...]

For LOAD Day 4 the prompt was "Dear Santa." Let me tell you... I just finished 3 months of working on my December Daily. I love Santa. I have loved Santa forever. I am rarely one to run from a Santa LO. But this time I was like, please doG no, not Santa. But then I thought about it. Someone who is important to me is Jessie. She is an awesome character from Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3. I've loved her for years... And I collect her pins! A LOAD LO was conceived. I have lots of pictures of me … [Read more...]

For Day 3 of LOAD, our theme was "Mom, I'm board." I remember playing board games, but I remember much more Boxing Day parties at the Spillets, where HUGE groups of people would sit around a seemingly HUGE card table (remember I was 4 - 12 here) and play UNO. Yep, Uno. Not a board game, but who cares! We laughed so hard, and some one was always being picked on, even from someone who was sitting across the table. I remember that sometimes the parents played, but sometimes they didn't. I always … [Read more...]

For Day 2, Lain prompted us to talk about our childhood bedrooms...  I can't remember anything about my bedroom...  What I did remember, were my slumber parties! There were many sleepovers, I loved sleepovers and we had the perfect house for them.  The house on Grand Traverse Street had two staircases, one grand one in the front, and then a servants staircase in the back.  There were 3 stories, well, two stories and a full basement.  The house had a laundry shoot, that went from the second … [Read more...]

And, so it is May 2014.  It's been a while since I've blogged, but as Vivian says, I've got it all set up, and lots of new work...  Why not start back up again. This is the perfect time to do it.  LOAD 514 started today!  Woot!  John loves LOAD, and I must say, I do too.  It's a great way to get layouts done in a non-stressful way.  There is a prompt every day, and you just go from there. Today the prompt was "in the news."  It was not an easy one.  I only know of a few times my family has … [Read more...]
