Ricetta Weds...oops I mean Thursday...sorry

I actually did get this done last night, and once again something small and not very difficult wore my a@@ out so I went to bed forgetting all about my post...maybe one of you should call the CDC for me...I think this freakshow body of mine has created some kind of new super strain...

Anyway...

here is Ricetta #8 it's a two pager, figured I owed you at least that for being the world's biggest slacker lately..

and here is my layout, this is almost entirely CTMH paper and cardstock, stamps, brads etc, except for the wave paper that's Karen Foster.I know it's all slanty...I seem incapable of taking a picture lately that isn't....

Before I forget, if you haven't subscribed yet the first issue of OHScrap is out! Debby and all the contributors did a really awesome job. For those of you not familiar this is an online newsletter/blog put together by some Fiskateers. If you go get it, you'll probably see some familiar names...err ahem...like mine... LOL (shameless plug) I'm the sketch coordinator...anyway... please go sign up if you haven't! They are looking for contributors all the time!

We actually had some sun yesterday...it's still pretty cool out, but I'll take it just about anyway I can get it at this point....here are some picture of the boys ...

A week or two ago, Rob bought Britain one of those lucky bamboo plants, and that was all it took, my son is suddenly a botanist....the next day he used his own money to buy and Aloe plant, a cactus and something I can't pronounce, (I am a "plant murderer" according to my family so I'm not allowed near the plants) He's been busy looking up his plants on the internet, he even froze a leaf from one because he wants to compare it to itself in several weeks..and he's busy making little miniture container gardens ...when something sparks this kids interest he is all over it.....

and so Landon not to be outdone, and feeling a

little put out and left out by the fact that Britain

would rather play with his plants than him,

asked his Dad for his own plant and so here you go

Both plants are very happy in their new home...

That might not be all I have to share with you today, but it is definitely all I have to share with you right now...

Thanks so much for stopping by...and I...will..get...around..to ...blog..hopping...sometime today....

Giant Steps are what you take...

walking on the moon...

if I how to put music on here, then you'd be hearing The Police right now, but as it is you'll have to imagine it in your head...if Carolyn or Dianna want to help me out in this department please feel free....so

who wants to walk with me?

I should have said "walk around the world" so I apologize to my international friends for my narrowmindedness...

My plan is to start on Monday, I'm hoping that by then it won't be quite as soggy as it has been here the past few days because I do not have a treadmill . I know some of you have already started..Good for you! Kylie's walking "virtually" to Lisbon and will then get rewarded with an actual trip to Lisbon!! This is totally no stress, I just want us to be able to motivate each other to move, I definitely need the extra help, I'd much rather read or play with paper than go for a walk...so I hope you'll check back here and comment when you walk how far you went and by the weekend I'm going to add a walklist over to the right of your links (if you wish to be included please leave me a comment with your link) and it's as easy as that. So fire up those MP3 players and get your walking shoes ready! Set a goal which includes some incentive at the end...Mine is 20 lbs by the end of May and I get Scrapbook Money to spend! So I haven't set a mile goal yet, at first I think I just want to see if I can actually get out the door. Feel free to share pictures of your walking adventures as well, and let anyone know who might want to join to come on by and join us...!!! LET's GO!!

I also have a Ricetta (Italian word for recipe, because everyone says "sketch" and I wanted a cute name, so it's basically a sketch) for you. If you want to play, create a layout inspired by this Ricetta and link me in the comments. Next Wednesday, I will display everyone's pages with a new Ricetta!

so here is Ricetta #1 designed by me...and I don't know how to do it up in a program the way I've seen on a lot of other blogs if someone wants to tell me how that works I'd love to be schooled...Thanks!

and here is my take on it

I hope this inspires you to play!!

I used Bazzill Bling Cardstock

Lace Cardstock by KI Memories
