Not too much going on. I did some fun things over this past weekend that I wanted to share. And I also just wanted to say hi. Hi. :-)
First though, I wanted to tell you I had a test in Algebra last night. I'm pretty sure I did okay. I just got stumped by one problem...one of those slope-intercept graphing equation monsters. Sometimes after I work through that stuff I feel like I could friggin' land the Space Shuttle! Dang! SO many numbers and letters! So did I mention I decided that this summer I am not taking ANY classes!? Certainly no credit classes but also no non-credit classes either. I'm just going to go to work and have my evenings to spend time with my family, play, art, take a few side trips and long weekends! I am SO excited! Glen's pretty dang happy about it too!!
And speaking of art, lots going on for me right now. And I'm hopin' to start bustin' out some of it to share with you REAL SOON! I've joined in three different swap projects associated with Art and Soul in October plus I'm going to make some charms to trade. FUN! And I'm so jazzed because with all these projects planned, that means I'm going to get/have to start using the art supplies I've been hoarding. I think I'm happy about that. Oh wait..of course I'm happy about that! Because when I use up the supplies I have, I'll get to buy more! Yay for more! I'm also planning on doing some scrapbooking at some time. I am a scrapbooker and way back when (before I started my blog!) that was my main artsy focus. Seems since I started bloggin, I've been introduced to so much amazing talent that I've gone kind of NUTS with wanting to try and learn new things! I really need to focus. Honestly though, that's not gonna be happenin' any time soon. I'm having too much fun!
I had a super great weekend! We went to the movies on Saturday night and watched Hot Fuzz. SO sidesplitting funny! Sunday was fun too. I went over and saw Miranda at her work and then went to collage and PoppyandIvy over on NE Alberta. GORGEOUS shops and the owners of each shop, Maria at collage and Amy at PoppyandIvy, are awesome, kind people who obviously LOVE what they're doing. And since I was over that way, I just had to stop in at SCRAP. I always have the best time when I'm on that side of town! :-) Here's some pictures of my new goodies!
From PoppyandIvy...
From collage...
And lastly, from SCRAP...
At SCRAP, I also found some corks -- I'm going to experiment with carving them to make stamps and I didn't want to use the corks that are earmarked for Cork Golf! LOL!
Okay...I'm outta here. Hope you have a great evening. Don't let your meat loaf!
Looks like you had fun shopping! I probably would've gotten the folder punch too.
Good Luck landing the Space Shuttle :)

Shopping is always good!!! That's great that you won't be taking any classes this summer so you get to go around w/your honey.

Then why oh why dont I know about all these cool shops!?!?! Thats pretty sad for one who calls herself shopgirl...
You NEED to take this poor soul who is in perpetual motion on 84 between Beaverton and Troutdale and HELP ME SHOP FOR COOL THINGS!
