March layouts (the beginning)

Didn't get much done yesterday, have to work today.  *sniff* *sniff*  I hate working on my day off but it's mandatory and everyone has to be there.  Sucks.

Anyhoo, got this one done last weekend:

"Easter Egg-citement" Letter stickers provided by www.croppinparadise.com.  Everything else is from my own stash (which is pretty large, LOL)

This one I finished yesterday.  My scrapping time is so limited with Norm working on the new house so my pages have been more on the simple side so at least I am getting SOMETHING DONE. 

" Experience Life"

Pattern paper, really big brads and American Crafts Memory Markers provided by www.croppinparadise.com.  Cardstock and letter stickers provided by little ole me.  :D  Yes, I did hand-cut that title.  It was horrible, must worse than any other I've done.  I changed my blade 3 times and it still kept pulling and snagging.  I think either I got a bad batch of blades or I need a new glass.  I also covered it with Diamond Glass to give it that wet look.  Doesn't show up in the scan very well though.

That's it for today.  Maybe I'll be able to get another one done when I get home.  I keep hoping they won't need all of us and I'll get to come home after 4 hours, which would be so unbelievably cool.  I've already put my 50 hours in for the week and today will make nearly 60.  Sucks, sucks, sucks.  I'm gonna miss Sunday dinner with my family, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy and my weekly phonecall with my dad.  :(  What a crappy end to an extremely short weekend.

It rained late Friday nate and all day yesterday.  I mean ALL DAY.  Some places got snow but most of them just got lots and lots of rain.  3" in some places.  Just goes to show you.  We go for nearly 4 months without a single drop and then get bombarded.  And today?  Not a cloud in the sky.  Sunny and cold, but no clouds AT ALL.  Anyhoo, we drove out to the property in the pouring rain, Norm gave me probably the quickest tour EVER and we left and had some lunch at Applebee's.  Jack was having the BEST time spashing in all the puddles (there were a lot of them) and getting muddy as hell.  Because I value my beloved camera, Lola, I didn't take her on our tour and get my typical "4 corners" photos so I got these shots from the truck window.

And I should add that they were going to have 2 crews working all through Saturday to get the framing done by next week.  Well needless to say, that didn't happen.  Hopefully the ground will dry out some and they can pick up again Monday or Tuesday.  I know one thing is for certain.  We're gonna have a real weed problem in about a week or so.  *sigh*

Time to get ready for work, dammit.

Later,

I love those two pages, so creative and simple (whatever). Your house is really coming along, can't wait to see it when it is all done.

There is no such thing as an inevitable war. If war comes it will be from failure of human wisdom.
