Work Cuts Into my Playtime

Hey folks, I am still here, but the new job has knocked the wind out of my sails and I haven't been posting much. I will be at home for a few days gearing up for my Dad's 91st BD this weekend, so I will post some pics and some more great things that have been going on. I just wanted to holla and let ya know I'm still here and going strong. Have a great week.

More Journal Time

Hey folks, I have been away for awhile working, working to get my replacement person up to par so I can get on the road with my new job. And I have actually been working in my journal quite a bit lately, to relieve stress I believe.
Anyway, The two poloroid looking pics are from my new Fuji Instant I showed you on my last post. My hubby and my two cats wanting outside. The camera takes good shots and fun since you can get them Right Now!! Quite an amusement for young folks who have never seen a poloroid camera. Hee Hee!!


These other pics are some journal pages I have been working on lately. I actually feel waaay more comfortable now than before I took Teesha Moore's class.

I will be with my dad tomorrow and listen to him talk about those 91 one dollar bills I will be handing him next month on his 91st BD.

Hope everyone has a great Father's Day tomorrow, especially the Dad's.

What I Have Acquired Lately

Ok, this is a little bit of what I have been up to.

These Peerless Watercolor Sheets I saw when I was at Teesha's class. Tracy showed them to me. I was amazed at how much color they hold. I Googled them and found a place http://www.peerlesscolor.com/products.htm that sold them, with shipping, $18.00. I think there is 15 pages, about the size of a checkbook. They will last for years!!

Next up is a large set of colored pencils in this case for $5.00 at the weekend fleamarket I try to go to every weekend when it is not too hot. They are old but oh well. Great for getting down and crazy in my journal.

And last but not least, this totally cool camera. A Fuji Instant 7s camera, I found mentioned on a blog that of course now I can't remember which one, but the pics are instant like the old Poloroids but smaller and I ordered it on Ebay and it came from Japan in about 6 days. Haven't used it yet, but will try this weekend.

I am posting this at Starbux so I could try to get online for free cuz I have a Goldcard and I get 2 hours of free internet everyday and lo and behold today it worked. Yippee!! "My name is Sharon and I am a Starbux freek". Hee Hee

Busy Busy

Hi folks, No I haven't forgotten you all. I have been major busy with work, like always. Just got home last night from a week in So Cal conducting an instructor's class. While I was gone I had two deliveries, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I will post pics this weekend and show off a little. Have a great artful weekeend.

Teesha & Tracy Journaling Workshop

Hi everyone. I wanted to post yesterday about my Teesha & Tracy Journaling Workshop, but life got in the way. So here I am today. What a blast! These two folks are THE BEST Instructors, very cool I learned so much. And so informative about their love of journaling. These pics are of my journal that I created. The bottom pic is my cover and the purple is a page within. Since I was a newbie, I have alot more to add, but I was in awe all 11 hours of this fab class.

And the best best, was when Teesha and Tracy BOTH journaled in MY Moleskine Journal!! WOW!! This was the best weekend ever, since I also got to meet Margaret from this blog, http://creepyheads.blogspot.com/ and Tracy Bautista was also in this class. WOW!! Again!!

And our host Andrea was very gracious and I spent tons of $$ in her shop across the street. She carries EVERYTHING!! This was a great oppotunity since the only scrapbook store we had closed up recently.

Wooo Hooo!!!

Well, I am off to Teesha and Tracy Moore's Journal Class tonight and tomorrow in San Jose; (see title:). I will let you know how things go, I am too excited. And I will tell you how my new baby, Kindle, is going. WOW!! What a magnificent geeky find. Yes, I am in drool mode!!!

Yea, I know....................

It's been awhile, but my work is the worst to keep me from my journal and blog and cool stuff. It does not mean that I still don't stalk blogs EVERYDAY, but I don't take the time to post like I should. I am hanging my head in shame.

This is my latest journal page. If you knew Modesto, you could tell the back ground is a shot from Google Earth of McHenry and Morris. I wrote up a driver who went through a very old yellow to red light here and the next thing I know he brings me this and says, "You know where that is?" I said yea, but it's old cause the carwash is still there. I'm not exacly sure why I got it, but I thought this might back a good journal page. And so wah lah!

I do have some exciting news and will have to post pics as soon as all of it takes place. Next Friday and Saturday I will be in San Jose for a 2 day Teesha Moore journaling class. Woo Hoo!!! I can't believe it is here already. So I will show you the journal I make. Can't wait! And hope that will keep me journaling like I should be.

And also this next week, I will be the proud owner of a Kindle 2 book reader. Also again, Woo Hoo. One of the applicants for my current position had one when she came for the interview and geek me had to check it out, and I actually held off for 24 hours, but couldn't resist the pull and bought one. It is an Amazon Product. So if you are interested, check it out. Can't Wait again. It will be the coolest gadget I have bought since my flip video camera that I have never used to make a You Tube Video that I was going to make as soon as I got it, sigh.........

Happy Mother's Day to all,

Sharon
