I realized I didn’t have time to blog - I always feel like I should actually SAY something, so you can see what I’m up to daily at Tumblr.

More Doodles

Rebecca — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 23:58:24 +0000

So, as promised here are the latest hand-drawn doodles I’ve been working on. I’m totally changing the blog header to be more doodlish. I have found a new way to be creative by drawing and of course showing it off in Scrapblog. Let me know what you think!

I’ve been doodling

I admit it, I have a doodle obsession, I will show you some of my hand-drawn doodles, but for today. I thought it was so cool that I could doodle in Scrapblog. You have to try it - so fun!!

Back From SISiversary 2008

Rebecca — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 01:09:41 +0000

Well, KelKel and I spent the weekend at the ScrapInStyletv SISiversary 2008. I went there with plans to basically give information about Scrapblog and talk with the SISTers and answer questions. I had no idea I would meet so many AWESOME people and make so many RAD projects. The entire weekend was completely sublime. I will post some of the projects I completed.

I think one of the funniest things was that Kelley and I did our usual quoting of odd movies. The past few weeks we’ve been slightly obsessed with Steel Magnolias. So the first night, I said to her “drink your juice Shelby” and that was basically the beginning of the end. TracyTN, God love her, knows EVERY stinking line to that movie and her voice, OMG, I really can’t describe it to you. It’s totally too funny!

Also, I realized how completely OLD I am because I absolutely CANNOT stay up all night and function in any way the next day.

I’m so happy for Jeanette and the gang over at SIStv, they really have passion about doing something different for the world of crafting. I have had such a great time getting to know JJ since her visit to Miami (see pic below of JJ & Bob & the Scrapblog crew). Scrapbooking is so much more than putting decorations on your pictures, it’s about friendship, the passion of creating something and sharing the LUB. Thanks to all for an amazing time!! I will definitely be there next year!

What’s Up Chicken Butt

Rebecca — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 01:50:16 +0000

So I’ve been super busy lately. Tons of stuff I could have been blogging about however, since I stare at my computer all day I really don’t feel compelled to sit at it when I get home. So, the cool stuff (that I can talk about anyway):
1) Since Chris was in Portland at what I refer to as “Ruby-con” I spent my birthday alone. Sad I know, but Dear, Sweet Kristy took me to lunch and then we hung out at Golf Galaxy since she thinks that’s a sport she can do in old age. Afterwards, I thought I would go see a movie. I actually love going to the movies by myself but I wouldn’t recommend seeing Sex and the City alone. It was totally sad! I came home and was so lonely I literally cried myself to sleep. How pitiful is that?
2) The following week was much more fun. Jordan and I headed to Utah for some undisclosed reasons, however, I can tell you that I visited with Rhonna Farrer in her studio. She is unbelievably adorable! She’s very little and made me feel like a giant and I’m only 5 foot 2 inches tall. We filmed an episode of Get Crafty! for Scrapblog. I definitely should have chosen a darker shirt or worn a girdle, my stomach looks terrible. Oh well, I’m a real person so what can you do? Jordan and I had a little bit of down time so we visited Sundance, UT. OMG it’s amazing. I really can’t even describe it. Check out the Flickr photos. Come on, you know I could so live like Heidi up in the mountains. I LOVED IT! We got an invitation to go back to Utah for fun, so I’m planning my trip! YAY! Hmmm, what else was interesting about Utah? Oh, yeah I stayed at the Hotel Monaco and they gave me a goldfish for my room. How fun? The best part is when they called housekeeping they said “1108 wants a goldfish” like it was such an everyday thing! I’m totally staying there again next time in SLC. Last time I stayed at the Grand America and it is just a tad too “grand” for me. I’m a simple girl.
3) Best news? I’m heading to Nashville in 2 days for the SIStv event. I’m not sure what exactly to expect, but I have this idea in my head that it will be like a giant slumber party!!! I can’t wait. I need some down time.

So that’s about it. You’re all caught up. Would this info been better in pieces or do you like this giant blog post? Either way, “it is what it is” and I’ll keep blogging when I can. Later kittens!
XXXOOO

Newness

Rebecca — Wed, 14 May 2008 11:21:43 +0000

Well, there is really not too much newness to report. Chris and I headed to Atlanta for some much needed R&R. I also had a meeting there so the “rest” part didn’t last very long. Here’s a scrapblog about our day on the lake. Chris and I both were really thinking we needed a boat after spending 2 days on the water. I think it’s easier to care for a boat that is in fresh water, so it’s probably a “no-go”. The trip totally renewed my love of the water and so this weekend I plan to go snorkeling with my sis that is coming in town for a quick visit. Enjoy the rest of your week!

Duran Duran

Rebecca — Wed, 07 May 2008 01:18:39 +0000

Ok, so I was obviously NOT born in 1982 like AI’s David Cooke. In 1982, I was the HUGEST Duran Duran fan ever. I even remember combing my hair all to one side like a bad comb-over and gluing it to my head with glitter hair spray and a silver sequence headband. Darn it, I wish I had a photo of that to post for you. Anyway, now I’m watching my Tivo of AI and I had to go find Duran Duran’s Rio. Check it in the featured video section. A true 80s classic. I heart you Simon Le Bon!!!

Scrapblog mini book

Rebecca — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 15:06:52 +0000

I have still been busy working on all my little projects and I traveled to Utah last week. Somewhere in between I made these two cute books. Here’s the first one:

Candy, Candy Canes, Candy Corn & Syrup

Rebecca — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 16:52:10 +0000

The last couple of weeks have been quite busy. Work has been full of wonderful new toys to keep me preoccupied. We also updated our furniture a little bit from my favorite place - IKEA

Last friday, I had dinner with my friend Penny. As I walked in her front door, I saw her Christmas tree - lights, decorations and all still up. This is a live tree, mind you! Here are a couple of photos to prove it. She is so funny. I cannot believe that a Christmas tree can stay alive for 5 months - she claims it will last a couple more!

Everyone knows that my favorite movie EVER is ELF. I think mainly because I am also totally addicted to candy and I love his four food groups. My husband and I always laugh because that is totally me - “Candy, candy canes, candy corn & syrup!” Not that I sit around all day and eat candy, but I honestly can’t resist going to candy stores whenever I am traveling or out and about and just getting a little something So on Friday night we visited our friends that were having a “Festivus” party. I never laughed so hard when I saw this giant santa in their living room. We all had to have our photos taken. Of course I look like an elf because I am only 5 foot tall. LOL Someone needs to tell my friends that Christmas is celebrated only one day in the year - not the WHOLE year, but Happy Holidays anyway!
