Okay, okay, okay...I tried to post daily or every other day, but I got hung up on some photo editing that needed to be done! Day 14 (Jan 14th) my daughter was in the school's Spelling Bee. She was 1 out of 20 students competing (from 600 kids that were tested). It was an exciting day because she took 2nd place and she is now going on to the district bee. The photos that were taken that day were HORRIBLE!!! I am not sure what settings I had on my camera, but what I do know is, the lighting was very yellowish and therefore every photo just looked "yellow-y"! Oh! The were terrible! They're still not great, but I have consulted w/ some of my digital guru friends and I think I have edited the photos in Photoshop enough where they're at least presentable!! So here we go! Each day corresponds with the correct day of the month in January! I am quite impressed that I haven't forgot to take a photo once....yet! I am sure it could happen, but I am trying not to forget. This project is really awesome. I can already see how awesome it will be to reflect back on this year several years from now. I certainly don't expect anyone to read all of my jibber-jabber, this blog will help remind me why the photograph meant something to me.
Day #13 - Scrappy Goodness!
Here are some traditional scrapbooking supplies I ordered a while back. The boxes arrived months ago and I just never opened them! I know that is sinful, but I am happy to report the box is open now and all of this wonderful stuff is put in its place nice and organized. I am running out of scrap storage space! Geesh! I guess that is what happens when you own thousands and thousands of dollors worth of stuff!! Thank goodness for digital scrapping! With the two hobbies combined, it truly has saved me a lot of money!
Day #14 - Spelling Bee!!!
I could not have been more proud of my daughter. She tackled the spelling bee with confidence and pride and she took 2nd place! Way to go Cori! The District Spelling Bee is on February 6th! So we'll be studying each and every day until then!
1st and 2nd Place Winners of the Spelling Bee!!! Corianna is on the right! You can see what I mean about the "horrible" lighting.... I didn't edit this picture, but I will.
Day #15 - My Sordid Love Affair
So I have had this love affair going on for quite sometime now with....well....it's with my UPS guy. It is like one of those love-hate relationships. I soooo LOVE him when he drops by, and I soooo HATE when he doesn't!! HAHA! Just kidding. He was dropping off a stamp set that was back ordered from my last Stampin' Up! order. I heard the truck coming down my cul-de-sac and I jumped up running with my camera to take a photo of him! I know, I am an idiot! LOL!
And here is the lovely stamp set. It's called Season of Friendship and I LOVE it! It's beeeeautiful!
Day #16 - Oh No!!!!!!!!!! Bamboo??? Where's the Fun!?
I went to open up my brand new Bamboo Fun that I got for Christmas. On this day I had not yet snapped my "photo of the day" so with my excitement I thought, "I'll just take a photo of you, Mr. Bamboo!" Uh huh....notice how the box in the photo just says BAMBOO?? Where the HECK IS THE "FUN"!!!!???? It turns out I didn't realize that it was just the boring ole regular Bamboo...not the Bamboo Fun. Well who, might I ask, wants Bamboo with no Fun???? Not me....no way! So I jumped in the car, headed to Best Buy and exchanged it for the correct one and just paid the difference. All is now right now in the world of Bamboo! :-)
Here is the Bamboo (no fun):
And here is the Bamboo (that's lot's of) Fun!! :-) I highly recommend everyone get one of these babies!! Fun, Fun, Fun!
Day #17 - Webkinz, Webkinz, Webkinz....and other shopping!
If you have kids that are between the ages of 5 and 13, I am sure you've heard of Webkinz! Well, my daughter has been collecting these fury little friends for 4 years now. I am almost embarrassed to admit that she has 72 of them! And...I am even MORE embarrassed to admit that I have an account, too! I LOVE their games. I am all about the Wacky Zingoz's Baby! Uh huh! Oh, and let me play Quizzy's Challenge and you'll see me at my computer for hours trying to beat level 12. I just haven't been able to do it yet! But I will...yes, one day I will! Today we went to buy another as a "Congratulatory" gift for my daughter's spelling bee victory. After that, we went to Border's so my daughter could get the new "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" book that she has been waiting to release for the last 3 months. If you have a 10-11 year old and you haven't heard of this series, I highly recommend it. They're easy to read, but they're soooooo funny!
Hmmmm.... decisions, decisions....which should I get???
Next on to Borders!
And lastly, we're off to Megan and Emily's for your sleepover! You're one of the busiest kids I know, Missy! Always on the go! I miss you and I hope you're having a fun night. Sleep tight, my dear! Love, Mom!
