Twilight 170.365

Yesterday was my "official" first day of summer vacation. :) I spent the day reading Twighlight. It was the rage in the jr. high classes and even some of my 3rd graders started to read it. So, yes, I was sucked up into the hype, and sat down to read this book. I finished the 500 pages in two days! I must say, it was an easy read, but it did keep me flipping the pages. The story was enjoyable, the characters likeable (what's up with Rosalie??), and the action suspenseful. This is definitley a good summer book, beach book, traveling book, etc. I have already bought New Moon and am debating starting that one today or waiting a little bit. ( I really need to clean my scrapbook room and get restarted in some scrapping!!!)

Happy summer to all!

Wedding 169.365

This past Saturday I attended the wedding of the daughter of a friend of mine. It was an elegant affair. The bride was stunning and the groom quite handsome.

This is the wedding cake. I thought it was so cute that they had all the mini cakes for the guests to eat. The colors of the wedding were sage green, white and black.

Congratulations to Adam and Kelly!!

Textures and Patterns Days 162 - 168

I enjoy textures and patterns. I think that is why I enjoy traditional scrapbooking over digital scrapbooking. I enjoy books that are tactile. So, the following photos have some sort of texture or pattern to them. These were shot on various walks that I have taken.

I needed to paint a pink pig for school. The art teacher gave me paper, but not butcher paper to paint the pig on. The paper had a glossy layer on the surface. When the paint dried, it crackled. I liked the look of it.
