Random...scattered post...

I just realized I haven’t updated in a while. There really hasn’t been much going on other than Shawn working and me watching kids. We went to the Drive In Saturday night and saw Indiana Jones and the new Narnia. I liked both of them. It was almost 3:30 when we got home. Shawn worked some shifts for click it or ticket it. Yesterday was the last day for the campaign. Shawn is working the ending survey on Thursday. Last week they put it in the local paper that the city was participating in Click it or Ticket it, so the number of citations written went down for 2 days, but Shawn said this weekend they spiked back up. By the way incase you didn’t know…you can get a ticket for putting the shoulder strap behind you (you are improperly wearing it). Shawn and a few other officers got yelled at by people when they were giving them citations for improperly wearing them. Here is something I found hilarious… Shawn wrote a person one day, then a few days later, he was pulling them over again…not realizing it was previous person. Why do I laugh… because you would think after getting a 150 dollar plus ticket once you would make sure and double check that you were wearing your seatbelt … okay at least I would!!!! I just don’t understand people who don’t wear seatbelts or buckle up their kids. I honestly think that my seatbelt helped save my life when Shawn and I were hit by that drunk driver.

Hmm…sorry trying to think if there is anything else to write about….
How about the weather? The temperature today was above a 100. The high for tomorrow is 98; I think it will reach over a 100 again. The kids are bringing clothes to play in the water tomorrow. We will probably play outside before lunch time.


Latest news? Shawn’s
parents are now living in Texas. They are umm…I think 6 to 7 hours away from us (depends on whose driving). A week ago at the library I got the first book in a series called Men of the Saddle by Lori Copeland…Shawn went and checked out the last book (number 4) in the series for me tonight. I don’t think I had ever heard of her before or read one of her books before this series, but I have added her to my list of favorite authors. Hmm…maybe the next time I don’t have much to post on I can do a post over favorite authors and books.
Other than reading I have been digi scrapping....well sort of. My 2nd bedroom also known as the middle bedroom is decorated with some of my old frog stuff from middle/ high school and college, along with Disney and princess stuff. It is also more or less a play room for the kids. I came up with the idea of making an 8x10 page of each niece and nephew and then framing and hanging them up in that room. That way the walls won't seem so bare. I just finished those up tonight. I had 3 of our nephews done, but then I came across a kit that was fit perfect with the room so I redid them. I finished them up tonight. For the boys I used
Stealing Prince Charming by Traci Reed and for the girls I used one of my favorite kits from Shabby Princess called Bella and I got the crown from an embellishment kit called Shabby Scratches. I for the most part like the way they turned out. I might do a few tweaks before I send them in to be printed out.

Has anyone ever used Shutterfly to order a photo book? If you have, please leave a comment or email me your review on it. I have been eyeing it for almost a week now, I just don’t want to spend the money and it turn out not being what I wanted. Cost wise, it does seem cheaper when you add up printing out 20 plus 8x8 or 12x12 pages and then buying an album to put them in.
















Anyway it’s late, my brain is jumping all around, and I have kids arriving at 4:30, 6:00, & 7:30 so I am off to bed!

Tasha -- This past week while on "digi safari" (looking for help!), I came across a thread somewhere that was talking about printing out the digi pages.
Many commenters were stating they used Shutterfly exclusively and were very pleased with the results they got back and how happy they were. They at first thought it was an expense but the final result was more important.

I don't know if that will help you or not but it is what I read and retained in the back of my feeble aging mind. LOL

Blessings.
