Life...As I See It

Thoughtful Friday

Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said. 

"One can't believe impossible things."

"I dare say you haven't had as much practice," said the Queen. 

"When I was your age I did it for half an hour a day. Why sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

~Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass

And 2 Projects

Time has been a scarce commodity lately. So the one way I manage to get it all done and scrapbook too is to use the ideas and inspiration of others. Like the upcoming Jessica Sprague Stories In Hand class and the never fail to inspire ideas of Ali Edwards.

My photos for WeekIntheLife came in the mail yesterday so I can finish that project...

And for my December Daily 2008 album I decided on an album from my stash (I have a small collection of albums that I find here and there, on sale or just because). I decided to use some of MM's Fa La La Christmas line. Other than the MM pattern paper I'm using what I have on hand. Nothing new. Keep telling myself to keep it simple.

Excited about my current projects and even more excited that I'm able to find time (albeit limited) to create.

Friday Fill-Ins  

1. Right now, I'm feeling relaxed and looking forward to the weekend.
2. Home is where I want to be.
3. How does one find enough time in the day to do everything you want to do?
4. Running keeps me on track (no pun intended).
5. Please don't drive slow in the left lane.
6. My kids fill me with joy.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to my turn to carpool to cheer practice then an evening home, tomorrow my plans include running and taking my daughter to see HSM3 and Sunday, I want to take family portraits with an old abandoned and very red restaurant as the background!

About Facebook...

...nobody warned me that Facebook is addicting! I started with just the idea of following a few friends. Now I'm spending way more time than I care to admit just to see what fun things I can find on FB. Like Flair! Writing on walls. Adding friends.

So, in my attempt to figure out all the fun things I can do I thought I would ask. What is your favorite FB application? Oh and if anyone can tell me how to add the tabs at the top I would greatly appreciate it.

And because I can't seem to blog without at least one photo. A current favorite...
