I'm still feel tired from my marathon scrapping weekend. I came right out of it and worked a full eight hour day yesterday. Ya ya I know, no big deal to most of you, but for this princess that's a big deal. Good thing I love my new job or I might even be cranky along with tired, but that's a whole other story. More on the new job later. Today is a reveiw on the weekend.
So I haven't paper scrapped in quite a few years now. I've done an occasional project here and there but no good old fashion scrapbook layouts. I haven't even digital scrapped in a long time so this weekend was epic. I really got my scrap on. The dormet creative juices came flowing out. I'm so inspired I even decided to blog about it....so here I am!
The scariest part of the weekend was when I opened up "Pandoras scrap-booking closest", YIKES! There are no words to describe. I'll just leave it at that. I didn't even have recent pictures printed or anything, (even though Ive been planning to attend this event for weeks now).
Anyway I started out Friday night with nothing but my laptop and and some images to edit from a photo shoot last weekend. I sat and edited and soaked it all in. Then I got up Saturday morning and threw WHATever into the back of my car. I did find some old some old pictures of Joe and I ,I had gathered a while ago with the intention of starting an album of him and I, since most of my other albums are kid, holiday and family stuff, anyway that would do.....and I was off.
On my way I stopped off first at Starbucks to redeem my free drink coupon. I was ready with this in my hand.....

My Venti Carmel Non Fat Latte!!!! Ya Baby!!!
A few hours later my work station looked like this.......

Actually this is kinda neat, things got crazy from here on out.... by Sunday afternoon at four o'clock I'd done five and a half, 6 by 12 layouts, plus an altered clipboard. Not to bad for this rusty uninspired die hard.
Melissa Yorba and her friend Diane were flawless hostesses, of this "shindig". They worked hard and made it so awesome, especially the food. You know i'm all about the food....Ya lets talk about the food. Lots of munchies sweets and candy are essential ingredients for successful scrapping, but lunch on Saturday was my favorite. Check this out....

We had a few of these babies to devourer....yum!!!

Then to top it all off, I won a door prize......

and a page layout challenge......

So I went home with lots done, full of good food...... and I have prizes!!!
So now that totally pigged out over the weekend, yesterday I was determined to be good so I went to an old favorite place, Arams, I haven't been in a while, and picked up my special custom salad. Ya this is what salad is all about..... I think I need another one today......just look at those cucumbers. Since I can't eat seeds and nuts anymore. My friend John cut them up special for me since he knows this hungry girl can't have a salad without my cucs.....Thanks John :) btw the grilled chicken on this is to die for!

later on my boss but this on my desk.....She loves me :)...or maybe we're still in the honeymood stage of our work relationship lol.

Anyway...that's all for today, peeps. Happy Tuesday....I think I'm back to kickboxing tonight.....ouch, its been a few weeks.....see ya :)
