Just a few more random pages. I seem to be on a creative roll lately. Probably because disappearing into my work takes my mind off other things. I'm definitely trying to roll with it though, because most of the time the creative mojo just isn't there.
The first page has photos from back in 2010. I ran across them when I was going through all my old photo files on my laptop and started laughing out loud again. This was the day I was waving good-bye to Bryn and her Bitty Twins while Bob was pulling out of the driveway. As I was waving & he was backing up... he backed over one of the sprinkler heads & caused a huge geyser of water that was spraying into the backseat window where Bryn was sitting. She started screaming. I was yelling, "Bob!!! STOP!!!" Finally before he turned to drive down the street he realized what happened and said he couldn't hear me yelling at him because Bryn was screaming in the backseat. I said, "That's because water was spraying in on her!!"
The 3 of us together = one nutty combination.
Just a random mix of products. The car & heart are from the Nikki Sivils' Noah collection. I put some Want 2 Scrap bling on the tires. The lined paper is from Nikki Sivils' Summer collection. I paper-pieced my own drops of water...
Another random mix here. Sometimes things just need googly eyes added to finish it off. Or maybe it was to make smile. Either way, it worked for me...
And I finally used these professional photos + a screen shot of the website that were taken for this recording studio photo shoot with Bryn & some friends. Another random mix (surprise, surprise) of whatever happened to be laying on the floor that matched. Heehee. The headphone & records were from the Nikki Sivils' Dan The Record Man collection. More Want 2 Scrap bling on the headphones too...
I think it's obvious I like those red Bella Blvd letter stickers. They've only been on 3 pages in the last week.
On Charter's home page today, one of the "hot searches" they were highlighting was "What's the best way to get rid of a migraine?" So I clicked on it... because I have a migraine today. And I get to teach 4 hours of Zumba tomorrow for another middle school field trip at the Y, so I'm kinda hoping I'm not teaching with a headache. The article is A Better Route To Migraine Relief, by Dr Andrew Weil. The last paragraph stuck with me...
"Finally, if you continue to have attacks, try to change the way you think about the headaches. Migraine is like an electrical storm in your head - violent and disruptive, but leading to a calm, clear state in the end. You may, upon reflection, discover that it is not so bad to let yourself have a headache once in a while. It is a good excuse to drop your usual routine and go inward, letting accumulated stress dissipate. As you come to accept migraines in this way and see them as serving a purpose in your life, you may not have them so frequently."
Deanna I really enjoy your nutty stories! That was very interesting about the migraines. I am sure you could apply that to other ailments as well. I hope you feel better soon. thinking of you birthday buddy.

I remember when that happened with Bob & the water hose!!!
....That googly eyed sun is so cute!
And, most of all, hope you feel better. Bad headaches stink. I finally sucked it up and went to the chiropractor this morning for my neck issues - so I can sympathize with you!

Seriously, I love your projects. They always make me smile.
That is so interesting about headaches. We all do need to slow down and take a break once in awhile. Hope you are feeling better soon.
