Merry Christmas

When I get stressed I play with pictures. Here's tonight's creation. What do you think?

Sucker for BG!

I knew they'd gone digital but I haven't been over to the website to look - until tonight. I knew I'd come away poor and I was right. I was a sucker for Basic Grey products (and still am) for paper scrapping, Nothing has changed with the digital side. I bought a collection called Phoebe. I was compelled. Not just because the collection shares the name of my mother but because it's beautiful. I also bought the blog stuff - which I will switch to in the spring. For now, I was all about this Scarlet Letter background. I may have to go back & buy that kit too.

If you're a scrapbooker and you haven't already, check them out. www.basicgrey.com

Christmas card for work

Cool happenings at the zoo

Cameron & I met Jordan and her boyfriend Tom at the zoo yesterday afternoon. We all got there late... them because their teenagers & me because of those darn drawbridges. Anyway, it was a perfect day. Warm & Sunny. The place was so empty it was wonderful. We started out looking for the newest addition to the zoo... the Kangaroo's. We found them in a new area near the africa exhibit. I'd heard they were going to be just kind of out there... but maybe that's a future plan.




After the Kangaroos we wandered up towards the Elephants & Giraffes. They'd already been put in their enclosures because the zoo was closing in about 20 minutes by this point but we were able to get a close up view of the giraffes eating. It was interesting.

Check out that tongue.... !

















As we were heading out, a lady told us there was a Bongo in labor up ahead. So we wandered over to check it out. Momma was clearly about ready to give birth. We stayed there until the little guy stood. Turns out we were the last family to leave - the zoo had been closed for 30 + minutes by then. I didn't realize all the other picture takers around me were zoo people. lol. Oh well. It was an experience like no other, and something my kids will probably never get to see again. Here's some pictures from first hoof out to standing on it's own. I tried to pick ones with less gore.

Blue

I took Jordan & her roommate Emily to a quick lunch at the mall today. It had been TWO WHOLE WEEKS since I'd seen Jordan. In that time, her hair has undergone a bit of a change. It was supposed to be Blue but she got scared to make too blue, so went light on the color. Turns out it's Blue-Green. Regardless of the color, she's still beautiful (despite the bad photography in the restaurant!)
