Where are Your Glasses Woman?!?

ButternugSquash presents: Challenge 5 - This one's all about the journaling!!!

Someone in your life has taught you something that has stuck with you. It might be a mothering tip. It might be a viewpoint. It might be some words of wisdom. It might be a love of something.
Your task: scrap about that!
Questions to ask:
1. Who was the person who passed this down & who were they to you?
2. What exactly, was it that they passed down to you?
3. How has this tidbit affected your life? How do you see things differently because of it? How do you live your life differently because of it?
4. Are you actively trying to live out this "thing" every day? It it a once in a lifetime thing or is it something you remind yourself of regularly?
5. Why are you choosing to remember this? What lasting significance do you want it to have not only on you today, but on your kids & grandkids? Is this something you want to pass down to them too? How do you hope it manifests itself in their lives?

Post your layouts in the gallery here: http://www.butternugsquash.com/PhotoPost/showgallery.php?cat=610

And our prize this time around? TEMPLATES!!! I <3 templates. Yippee!

Slacker Kelsey Strikes Again!

With so much going on with me at the end of last week, and so many places to post our LOs I forgot to put mine up here. Bad Me! So, if you haven't seen it at one of the three site galleries...here ya go.

Journaling:

Yesterday I quit my job. After 1 year 3 months I'm unemployed. I know it was a move for the best. The toll it was taking on me emotionally was not worth the money. I'm sure I will find something else, but it feels strange to just be at home now. I feel like I suddenly lost my purpose, or my usefulness. I know where I should go from here, but I don't know where I want to go. For now, I'll just take baby steps and focus on what I can do for today.

NO ADSR Challenge SPOTTED...

While waiting anxiously for the next challenge, I spotted this in Spoky-Jo.

There is a (in)famous walk-up fast food restaurant in Spoky-Jo called DICKS Burgers. Their catchphrase is "buy 'em by the bag!" These burgers & cheeseburgers are awesome and while you sit in the parking lot eating at the vintage picnic tables, all the seagulls in the universe descend upon you to beg while you eat. It is fun to throw tid-bits of fries to them-as entertaining as going to the movies!

So, here you go Kelsey! They had a personal message on their sign for you!

Waiting...but not patiently

Kelsey's Challenge 1

Journaling:I could spend my life discovering all the wonders of this place over and over again. Despite the crowds and the heat, this was where I fell in love with Paris. As we followed the swarms toward the Mona Lisa we were swept up three flights of stairs to one of the most breathtaking sights. At the top of a wide staircase stood the Victory of Samothrace; a winged, glowing statue towering over hundreds of tourists. The Mona Lisa is, of course, very overrated. The canvas of the mystery woman is much smaller than you would imagine and the masses huddled around her do nothing more than detract from the experience. It is still an amazing thing to stand in front of such a treasure, something I never thought I would do.We wandered the halls for three hours; discovering artifacts from Egypt and Iran, feeling powerless beneath massive marble statues, melting in front of the magnificence of oil on canvas, and even touring the foundation of the castle itself. If only our feet could have carried us a little further, maybe my thirst would be quenched. But this is a place of endless discovery and wonderment. We are not meant to know all of the secrets held within it's walls.

ADSR2 Week 1 Challenge

The first challenge is based on our current life experiences!

So the first challenge, should you accept it, is to scrap something museum-related.

It can be a museum you've been to, one you'd like to go to, or an exhibit you'd LOVE to see in your lifetime. Maybe a famous painting or work of art you've always wanted to see in person, because let's face it, printed poster reproductions just don't even come close.

And because this is The Amazing Digi Scrapping Race and nothing is ever that easy, you must use the word "Amazing" somewhere on your layout. It can be in the photograph itself, in your title, or journaling, etc. Up to you how and where it is incorporated.

Don't forget to post your layout in your "official" gallery by midnight Sunday, July 22 to be eligible to go on.

Let the Games Begin!

Waiting For A Reply

We anxiously sent off our ADSR application email yesterday and sit on the edge of our seats waiting for a reply!

My daughter and I used to be able to agree on listening to Nickelback-such were our diverse music opinions; and there are very few songs by them that I can listen to without crying.

Prison's gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees i'm crawlin'
Oh, i reach for you
Well i'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All i need is you
Come please i'm callin'
And oh i scream for you
Hurry i'm fallin'...i'm fallin'

[chorus]
Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And i'll show you what i can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And i'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me

Heaven's gates won't open up for me
With these broken wings i'm fallin'
And all i see is you
These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh i scream for you
Come please i'm callin'
And all i need from you
Hurry i'm fallin'...i'm fallin'

[repeat chorus]

ADSR Pre-Race Preparedness

Bob-Wanna be my partner?

Kelsey- hmmmm....i don't know how reliable I will be as far as meeting deadlines. What do I have to do?

Bob-Gee. Last time you wanted to play really bad.
Now you won't even be my partner. I'm crying. Boo hoo.
Just play with me anyway. Please. I'm begging you. Please...Please. I'm on my knees. Please?
