Howdy...we've been having a terrific weekend over here at Casa G.
Friday night was date night so just me and my best fella went out for a little din din at a place called MuuMuu's and then went to the movies to watch In Bruges. Pretty dang bloody but man what a fabulous story. And SO funny!
Saturday the weather was just beautiful. Glen and I did some marketing, went to Borders and then in the evening, I got to go over to "play" with Andrea. Claudine was also there and then another very nice gal named Mary Ann. Lovely lovely and I made a real good dent in my fatbook pages, one of my many projects. :-)
Oh and also, in today's mail I received a very special package from my friend Gina! OH MY! I'll post more about it once I take pictures! Oh and I also have something very SWEET to show you that my pal, Lilli, sent me too! Such blessings!!!
Anywho, today has just been an easy cheesy kind of day. Read the paper while sitting in a nice sunny spot with some good coffee. Then I had a FABULOUS massage by a good friend of ours, Harriet, who recently completed her courses. Excellent...with lots of deep tissue. Harriet came to the house to give me the massage and there were a couple of times when Atticus jumped up on the table and nestled in between my feet. So cozy and so danged cute! There was even a point when he jumped up on my back while Harriet was working on my legs. I was SO praying he would start doing his "kneading biscuits" thing on my back! He didn't...but how Heavenly would that have been! LOL! :-)
Okay...so on to some art...I have a few pictures of some LOs I recently completely for Elise's Round Robin group and then one for Andrea's Circle Journal group.
For Elise's Round Robin, here is the LOs in Sherri's journal. Her theme is "Wonderful White."
Page One....
I'm sure it's because I've got spring fever, but when I thought of "white," it made me recall how lovely it is to walk through a garden full of white flowers, at dusk. The flowers just glow!
And then, of course, white makes me think of snow. We don't get snow very often here in the northwest so when we do, it's a treat, even though it buggers up the commute to work. I still love it because it just quiets the world and has a very calming effect.
Another LO completed in Elise's Round Robin group was Deborah's Something Vintage Something New Something Retro Something Blue. How cute is that theme? :-)
I had lots of fun with this one!
I found a couple of ads in a 1953 Life Magazine that just begged to be included, particularly since Deborah had mentioned how she got a kick out of the old ads that showed women cleaning their bathrooms all dressed up!
I also completed a LO in the Circle Journal group that Andrea is hosting. This LO is for April's journal and her theme is "Travel."
I chose to journal about our trip to Scotland in 2000. This was a very special, very fun trip.
Okay...time to go get. Miranda's coming over in bit to hang out and watch The Oscars with me! Fun! I hope you have a fabulous evening!
oh boy
There's nothing like a good massage to set things right!
Love your pages :) The white ones are esp cool! You're so creative
I went to Ireland and England and wanted to go to Scotland but ran out of time. I would've liked to visit the places that Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed.....

Wow, you've been quite busy these last couple of days! Great job on the journals--the snow page is so snowy! Saw previews to In Bruges---are you sure it wasn't too bloody? I don't do bloody very well...but it did look pretty funny/clever.
