I was writing a post for work about inspiration and I came across this image by the artist Chris Piascik:I agree 100%. I always skip over the first page of sketchbooks/journals/scrapbooks and come back to it lat...
The One with Some Things On My Mind
Sunday, September 28, 2008
1. We saw Eagle Eye on Saturday. I really liked it. I think Shia LaBeouf is great.2. The Office and Supernatural are on at the same time. (I love this Office poster parody of LOST, my absolute most favorite show in the whole wide world.)Talk about a death wish for Supernatural. If you want a show to survive, you don't put it on the same time as The Office. There are 167 other hours in the week that...
The One with the Science Project
Friday, September 26, 2008
Last week at work I was asked to make a science project about the solar system featuring American Crafts Thickers (thick-stickers). I actually had to do some research - thank goodness for something called the world wide web! So what do you think, do I deserve an "A"? :)I found this stuff about planets pretty interesting. And, where have I been the last few years? I didn't know that Pluto is not considered...
The One with The Point
Thursday, September 25, 2008
In ten years, the point of the mountain between Salt Lake and Utah counties is going to look very different. That's because THE Frank Gehry (architect/designer of the Guggenheim in Bilbao Spain,and the EMP in Seattle (and more)) is giving the area a serious makeover. On Wednesday he revealed his plans. Wooden and metal blocks stacked Lego-style resemble the future 2.1 billion-dollars-to-build town....
The One with the Scrap Room Files

Drum roll please....Here are the plans I made in Adobe Illustrator for my mom and sister's scrap room! Click on the images to enlarge. And keep in mind this is the first time I've done anything like this so it's not perfect...
The One with My Mom and Sister's Scrap Room
Tuesday, September 23, 2008
My dad needs a new project so I am helping him design a scrap room for my mom and sister. There are three bedrooms upstairs in their house - one for my sister which used to be my brother's room, one used to be mine and is now a guest room, and my sister's old room is now going to be my dream room. Here are some images that inspired me. Now if only I could figure out how to add the pictures of the...
The One with, "We Did It Again!"
Monday, September 22, 2008
Have you ever seen Home Alone 2, specifically the part when somehow their alarms don't go off and they wake up screaming, "WE DID IT AGAIN!" That's what I'm saying to myself right now.
I booked flights to Washington for Thanksgiving at a very reasonable price. Too good of price. Yep, I booked them for the wrong week. Are you kidding me? What is wrong with me? Do I not have eyes? Can I not read the little "Thanksgiving" clearly printed at the bottom of the 27th of my much-loved, much-needed, but not-helping-me-in-the-ways-it-should Franklin Covey planner? Obviously not! luckily I was able to change our flights for the right dates and we're good to go. So yay, we are going to Washington for Thanksgiving!

The One with Battista Sforza
Sunday, September 21, 2008
Once upon a time when I was at BYU we played "dress up like an art piece." So I made myself look like Basttista Sforza. Chris took a profile picture of me, I took a picture of Provo and I photoshopped myself into the foreground to look more like the painting. And in case you're interested, here's some info about the painting:Battista Sforza, 1465-66Piero della FrancescoPanel, 47 x 33 cm Galleria...
The One with R.A.K.
Friday, September 19, 2008
I've got some extra scrapbooking stuff that I'd like to give away! I need some help though - I'm working on a countdown to Halloween project and I'm trying to find 31 things to do in the month of October, one thing each day until Halloween. So, leave a comment about what your Halloween/October traditions are by Wednesday and I will randomly select one winner to receive all of this Maya Road goodness...
The One with the Moldy Sandwich
Thursday, September 18, 2008
"Stealing your co-worker's lunch is a downright contemptible act, that is, if it's perpetrated by someone other than you. But, if you've ever had your lunch stolen, you know the the frustration and anger it causes. You know the revenge and ill-will it inspires. And you know that no matter how well you try to hide your lunch bag at the back of the refrigerator, something's gonna be missing when you...

I wonder how long it takes to make one book.Here are four different folded books mounted to the wall - very unique home decor.This books is selling for only $15.00!This one is my favori...
The One with ScrapFest
Monday, September 15, 2008
My poor neglected blog! Here's what I've been up to since Thursday:Thursday September 11th 2008I woke up Thursday morning and watched a couple episodes of Supernatural. I love that show. It's the modern-day version of X-Files, it even has one of the same producers - Kim Manners. Then I turned on the cable and watched some footage of September 11th 2001. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I...
