- Georgia. Apparently I neglected to mention exactly WHAT Georgia is in the last post. I must have gotten distracted by her shiny, shiny paint. My apologies. Georgia is a used Mercedes G500. (The G stands for Georgia, get it?? Yes, I know it's not German. But Gretel didn't have the same ring to it.) She's been gently broken in by a previous owner, who was gracious enough to take the huge depreciation hit for me. She's silver. She's a tank. I'm pretty sure one of her doors outweighs me by 100 pounds. It's an excellent upper body workout just opening one of those babies. You're gonna have to wait for photos, though, because it's a crappy overcast day and I want to do her justice.
- Houseguests. Our good friends Dave & Alison (who we go to Mexico with each year) are flying into town tomorrow and I have about a million things to get done so I can enjoy their visit. They are scoping out the area to possibly move here, an idea that makes me insanely happy. At any rate, if I'm missing from the blog for a few days, it's because I'm out showing them around town and trying to convince them that there is no better place on earth to live than Erie, Colorado. (Can I get an AMEN?!?)
- A layout. Yes, I'm excited about my new car. But I can appreciate the little things in life, too :)patterned paper (Making Memories, Jenni Bowlin, Pink Paislee)
acrylic sheer (Maya Road)
chipboard number (Basic Grey)
stickers (American Crafts)
border punch (Fiskars)
butterfly stamp (Studio Calico)
rhinestones (MAMBI)
An editor's note for those who asked about sizing layouts: My original layout files are jpegs, approximately 800x800 pixels @ 72dpi. When I upload them to Typepad, I select the Custom Image Options and size them to 450 pixels, with no wrap, and I click the option for a pop-up window (this links to the full-size file). Hope that helps!
