Playground

Cora is having fun at the playground.

Another test to see if I can send a pic from my blackberry to my blog.

Test. Trying to see if I can update my blog from my cell phone. Love technology.

Digital Scrapbooking

I bought new software called "Scrapbook Factory Deluxe". I've been playing around with the templates and my pictures and making digital scrapbooking pages of Cora (her 1st birthday, playground pictures, moving into her new home and visiting with grandma and grandpa). Here is my latest page.

I haven't tried to print any of the pages yet, but I need to try that and see how they print. Both on my home printer and also at Target or Wal-Mart. I can convert the *.sbk file to a *.bmp but I'm just not sure how this will print. Looks great on the PC.

Notice the 3rd picture - Cora is getting into climbing!

Ready for Summer

Sunglasses and Sandals! I bought these fabulous sunglasses from a "Liz Claiborne" store. Why are they fabulous? Because they are bifocals. I did a double take when I looked at these sunglasses. I was very excited and knew I needed them.

My other purchase to prepare me for the summer was these sandals. They are "Born". I thought they were really cute and they are super comfortable.

It is suppose to be 75 degrees tomorrow. So I'm definitely ready for warm weather!

Movie Review

Just now getting the chance to watch "Slumdog Millionaire". I really didn't have any idea what it was about but had heard conflicting reviews about the movie.

The movie is 2 hours long, but it didn't lose my attention at all. I really enjoyed the movie and how the story unfolded. The only problem I had was reading the subtitles - they just didn't show up very well on my TV.

Two thumbs up on this one.

Happy Easter

Hope all has had a wonderful Easter. It is a little cooler than I would like, but not raining. Instead of doing colored eggs this year, I made cupcakes with colored icing. Same food coloring all over my hands, but tastes better!

I took these cupcakes to church for our youth. It was my turn for treats for Sunday School and I wanted to take something bright and springy. I believe they enjoyed them.

Here is the recipe I used for the icing: Wilton's Buttercream Icing. Ummm good!

Easter Crafting

Having fun tonight crafting. I monogrammed these buckets by decoupaging. Found this craft on the blog "The Wilson Six". Click on this link to read the tutorial and see her bucket pictures.

I'm starting on sewing cute Easter eggs. I found this craft on "Retro Mama" through linking through "Schultz Party of Four". Click on this link to read the tutorial and see pictures of the eggs. They are the cutest eggs. I hope mine turnout cute too. I'll try to post a picture soon.

I love trying new crafting ideas.
