A Layout and another update.

Hi all. 

I'm trying to redesign my blog again and it's not going so well. I was using a custom theme builder theme and just changed it to a stock theme from typepad and my blog is not updating. Ugh. On top of that I designed a simple blog header in photoshop and tried to upload it to the blog and it's not working. I also tried the CSS option found here and it didn't work either. 

Needless to say I've put that off until another day when I don't have a million and one things going on. 

I'm working on a wedding layout for a dear friend. One of her former students is getting married and she wanted a commemorative layout made up using their wedding invitation and save-the-date card. What a great idea right??? Here's a little sneak peek. I don't want to post it just yet incase the bride or groom happens by my blog.

I've never really been much of a traditional scrapbooker. Being a single girl I always thought it weird to have an entire scrapbook filled with layouts all about me. But this was so much fun that I might just have to get over my reservations and just do it. Maybe scrapbook for other people? I wonder if people even do that. If you do let me know. 

In addition to all that I'm currently frequenting this particular website for reasons I can't reveal just yet. Lets just say I really love Michael Jackson and will be paying tribute to him through dance. So much fun though. You will see what happens with this soon. 

I did help a friend out with her moving garage sale over the weekend and oh my goodness it was so much fun. You can't beat great friends, helping hands, and weird garage sale junkies. Hilarious. Plus I scored a few goodies from my friend Jess.

I got a desk chair, a Dell LCD monitor, a Canon EOS RebelG 35 mm camera, 2 XL barstools (not shown), a couple a REAL SIMPLE magazines (that I absolutely love), and loads of books, all for only $60 bucks. I offered more but she turned me down. I just love that Jess.  

Sweet hugs, 

Angee

  3. Hey Angee!
    I'm so sorry it took me a while to respond back to you. I have been so busy lately.
    But in regards to the camera that I use, I only have a small digital point & shoot camera. It's a Samsung SL620. (Not very exciting)... I usually have to do some editing to my pics after I take them. And I make sure to use lots of light when taking my photos.
    I'm so jealous you got that Canon camera. I have been DYING to get myself a new DSLR camera! Hopefully I will be able to soon.
    Hope you have fun with your new stuff!
    Can't wait to see how fabulous your pics will turn out!

  4. Hi Ayana. I'm super busy myself so let me say I know the feeling. You take great photos with your samsung and I'm slowly getting better with my sony point and shoot. The camera I got a the garage sale is a 35mm old school film camera which I love. I'll be taking it with me on the cruise but I won't be taking pics of my projects with it for obvious reasons. Hopefully I will get my DSLR soon. If I can keep from hauling all of Papertreyink releases then I will have one much sooner than later.

  5. I love that you "scored" a few goodies at the sale. Can't wait to see the completed purple project! Hugs, M
    P.S. If you get frustrated on your blog redesign, check out the woman I used. It's reasonable in price and much easier than doing it yourself: http://pricing.vkdesigncompany.com/
