These are a few of my favorite things . . . .

Here's Alaina giving you a friendly wave. We told her to get some shoes on to go outside to play on Saturday. Here's what she came down wearing. . . .a few of her favorite things. The infamous red boots, her favorite pair of pants (she calls them giraffe pants, because she's a giraffe nut; but they're really leopard) with the matching sweater. Then for a special touch, her favorite summer dress. And yes, we did let her go out in the backyard this way.



I looked out the window one night last week and saw this view. I loved it, and have been looking to photograph the sky at this time of night for a project I'm working on. Unfortunately, I couldn't shoot over the houses. {sigh} will keep trying.

A few of my favorite things:

the iPod . .. it's quickly becoming an addiction. While working in the scraproom this weekend, I listened to a whole audiobook.
beef fajitas from On The Border. . . as long as I ask for the beef and the onions well done.
The Motive by John Lescroart I love this guy's books. I usually like it when an author takes the same character (or 2. . . here) and writes several books with them. Seems to give the character more depth.
The movies . . . my friend Erin took me to dinner and a movie (Last Holiday) to celebrate my birthday. We laughed and laughed through it. It's always great to spend time with a good friend.
Chatterbox Chalet and Holiday Lodge papers . . . YUMMY! I got some late last week in the mail and I'm in love! If you haven't checked out Chatterbox's sneak peeks . . .go, quickly, to their website (www.chatterboxinc.com) and check those things out! Oh, they have some journaling embellishment boxes that look AWESOME, several new rooms, transparencies. . .and more!

Okay, off to watch an evening of DVR'ed TV.
