And about the only person I know who’s happy bout it is Kristine.  She loves Mondays, lol.  Hope you’re weekend was terrific.  We opened the camper this weekend.  And got a lot of it cleaned out again.  It’s always amazing how much junk one can accumulate.  And at least we ran out of propane early in the season.  Usually it’s the coldest weekend of the season when that happens.  I hope this was that weekend.  It was really cloudy on Saturday, but it blew by and the night was as clear as could be.  It just amazes me how clear it is out there and how bright the stars are.  We built a fire and just hung out around the fire catching up.  Sunday was miserably cold and rainy.  That’s probably why we got the camper cleaned.  It’s good to be back.

And while I was gone, I didn’t open the laptop once.  I have sooooo much that I need to get done.  Finishing touches and previews, ads and blog posts.  AND I got the last challenge for the IL design contest.  They paired each contestant with a designer from the store.  And I’m THRILLED with my pairing, but she hasn’t opened her store there yet, so I can’t spill the beans.  But I’ve loved her papers since I did a guest gig for her CT and I know that this collab will be RAWKIN!!!  And with that, I better sign off and try to get some work done.  Oh yeah, plus I’ve got lots of work at my job too….lol.   Have a great day all and don’t forget to check back April 1st.  I’m part of a huge, huge blog train.

Is finally here officially.  The campground opens up this weekend and of course Shannon just has to be among one ot the first campers there.  Doesn’t matter to him that it’s supposed to rain most of the weekend.  His response to me is “well, there’s lots of stuff we need to get done inside the camper anyway”.  UGH  I haven’t even started my Spring cleaning at home.  But it is always a good feeling to know that camper season is here.  It’ll be a month before all the festivities kick into gear but it’ll be good to actually see the friends.

Other than that, not too much going on here.  I finished up my latest part to the challenge over at Inspiration Lane.  It’ll be in my new kit Jelly beans and Easter eggs, that I hope to have in the stores by April 1st.  Speaking of, I can’t believe that March is about to end already.  Time is just flying by.    I just can’t figure out where it all goes. 

Well I hope that you all have an awesome weekend.  And while you’re weather may be less than perfect, please remember those who’s homes and lives are being affected by the ravages of the weather; North Dakota, Mississippi and all the others who are forefront in the news.

And last night I had a dream about snow.  Lots of it.  Definitely a nightmare!  I’d say the main problem with this time of year is how cold it still gets at night.  I’m freezing under 2 down comforters and a bedspread.  But then again, I’m always cold at night. 

I wish I had something witty to say.  I read some blogs and they are so profound or funny sometimes.  And it’s little everyday life things too.  While I have the gift of gab, it sometimes just doesn’t translate well to the puter. lol

Ever do a bonehead thing that you knew really wasn’t your fault but you knew better anyway?  We were having issues with the guide on our satalite and it stopped recording a show right in the middle.  So I was trying to see what to do to get it back because it was going to be replayed in a hour anyway.  Well I do a reset through the menu guide and have to go through all sorts of stuff I normally don’t have to.  I knew that meant trouble.  I reset the DVR disc and wiped out EVERYTHING that was on it.  The show I was trying to record (and one episode I hadn’t seen yet), all my LOST shows with Sawyer and a bunch of movies.  Thought Shannon was gonna kill me.  That’s my duh for the week (I hope)

Ok, have a freebie for you today.  Photo masks seem to be all the rage nowadays.  So I thought I’d try my hand at them.  Wanta see.

You can grab them here.

Hope you enjoyed your weekend.  Can you believe it’s almost the end of March already.  And we make such a big deal about the beginning of Spring, what about the Southern Hemisphere and their first day of Autumn.  I was thinking about that.  Do those of you who live south of the Equator feel that the rest of the digiworld tends to focus on the seasons of the Northern Hemisphere and forget about you when they’re making their products?  Just curious.  Anyway, have a great day!
