This is Me...Week 3 of Digi in Deep!

Again, Jessica Sprague awed me with her knowledge of Photoshop. This is the latest assignment. I still have the second matching page to go... but WOW... I loved all I learned!

I picked up some cool treasure from My Green Tangerines yesterday for reCREATE, and got a chance to see some friends yesterday for a little girl time... that was nice!

ReCREATE debuts!

Yesterday was the Celebrate the Earth event in my city. It was the first event we were at for reCREATE... and it was a huge success! We had kids doing crafts from the moment the event opened, until we closed down for the day. I was so thrilled and happy. I had a few friends and familiar faces come by and it was so nice!

I am completely behind on my Digi in Deep class. I am feeling disconnected because I just can't seem to keep up. Part of what I love about the class is the bonding part... and I am missing out but I just don't have the bandwidth at the moment.

But Mama....

This post is comepltely out of order... but I want to write it down so I don't forget to scrap it one day soon...

When we dropped Zach off at my parents house to stay for a few days last month, Sela was really quiet when we left.

She said her goodbyes and when we were about a mile away, she said, Where's Zachie?"
Me, "Zach is staying with Papa and Nama for a few days, remember."
Sela, "But Mama, Zachie is ours... he belongs to us!"

While Zach was there, he would give his daily call to say hi, and in the past always wanted to talk to me. This last trip he would say, "Hi Mama. Can I talk to Sela?"

I'm so glad they love eachother so much - even if they do seem to be mean at least 10 times a day to eachother!

What Kind of Thinker Are You?

Based on their little test - here is what they say about me.

Your Thinking is Abstract and Random

You are flexible, adaptable, and creative. There's many ways that you can learn - and you're up for any of them. You relate well to other people, and you do well working in groups. You can help people communicate together and work with each other's strengths. You don't work well with people who are competitive or adversarial. You prefer to work toward a common goal... not toward conflicting goals.

My "Outside the Box" Light

Here is a not so great picture of my entry for the Outside the Box Art Show with Placer Arts. I was thrilled to see it displayed in the window... and the picture isn't great because you can't see the side designs on the box. The box was made from primarily stuff that was destined for the trash can - that was saved...

There was bidding activity on it, and bids will be accepted until the beginning of May.

My entry was to raise awareness of my program reCREATE, and Meredith Fenwick was awesome and said I could use her paper for this fund raiser.

The hang tag looks like this:



I hung it with with a rough piece of twine, and I was happy with how it came out.

The Princess Bed

So Ci is in her Princess Bed now... and we've had to demote her to her crib a few times because she has had behavior unbecoming for a Princess (getting out of bed many many times, because she can.)
All in all the transition is going pretty smoothly, and she LOVES her bed! It is so pretty... and you just have to pretend the rail isn't on it when you are looking at it!

Zach - Then and Now

Here is my latest Digi in Deep homework. Can you believe how much my little Zach has changed?

Zachie has the stomach flu... so last nights plan to go to the Auburn Art Walk was a bust. Mark came home and I snuck over to the PlacerArts gallery to see the Box show I am showing in. I was standing near my box when someone walked up and bid $60.00 for it. I was soooo thrilled. She is a Roseville Artist and said, "I could totally see this in my house!" She said she was shocked she hadn't met me yet, us both being Roseville artists, and I laughed, and said I wasn't an artist... that I did the box to promote reCREATE. She said that saying I wasn't an artist "was rather subjective". Yep, she pretty much made my day! I was thinking I was going to have to buy my own box just because nobody else would want it! I will upload a picture of it in the next post.

Second Assignement for Week 1

Spring has Sprung and I don't want to be inside! For the past three days I think we have been outside more than in... it has been WONDERFUL! The only down fall is that the pollen is super abundant this year so we are sneezing... but who cares... it is gorgeous!

I took the above pictures of Zach at Fairytale Town last week.
I should have a few more layouts done in the next day or two to post.

I am starting to hit the whole funding mode of reCREATE so... hopefully we will be shopping for space and a vehicle soon.

We started cleaning out our garage this weekend.... I can't believe how much stuff we have from when the kids were babies. We have some serious giving and donating to do.

Digi in Deep

Woo Hoo... class started over at Digi in Deep and here is my first LO. Can you say complex? It took me more than an hour (ok more than 2 hours) to get this done.... but that Jessica - WOW... her tricks knock my socks off.
