Checking in and a RAK!
Sunday, July 22, 2007 at 11:51PM Oy. I haven't blogged in a bit. I've been, um, busy. Swamped really. I've been scrapping up a storm, finishing up layouts for my book...deadline's in less than a week for the layouts portion. I'm definitely in the home stretch now and am mostly happy with how the layouts are turning out. Incidentally, I also think I should win a prize for deliberately *not* buying the Harry Potter book that released yesterday. I know myself well enough to know that I'd have to stop and read it from cover to cover...and I just can't afford that time right now. You can bet, though, that as soon as I get these layout scans sent off, I'll be heading straight for the bookstore and reading through the weekend. :)
Things? The boys are fascinated with rockets. Seriously. Nathan took all three on Friday night and they camped out at the site where the next day a local rocketry club had a launch event. They came home sweaty but happy. I haven't had a chance to go through the pictures yet. I, obviously, stayed home. I managed to get 12 layouts done in the 20 hours or so they were gone. My head hurt. Today, they all headed to our neighborhood park to launch rockets of their own using the water rocket system Nathan built a bit ago. Again, they came home sweaty but happy. I've only finished 5 layouts so far today...but will be up for another few hours.
Oh, and Micah discovered the harmonica. He's so freakin' adorable. I'll take pictures tomorrow. He's actually pretty good at it...enough that Nathan's trying to figure out a way to record some of Micah's "tunes" so we can link you up here.
Okay, I should get back to work. My office is a disaster area. At this point I don't think it's worth the time it'll take me to straighten up so I'll leave it for another four days. :) When I do clean my office, I'll be doing some significant purging. I figure if it's stuff I didn't even consider touching while making these 68 layouts I probably don't need to hang onto it. So...RAK time!
In the past 2-3 weeks, I've made roughly 50 layouts. Today, I used a color for the first time (not the first time EVER, but the first time in the past 2-3 weeks, you know what I mean). It rather surprised me to realize that I hadn't used it yet. Guess what color cardstock I'm talking about! (No, I'm not looking for an exact shade or anything that specific...I'm talking like red, orange, yellow...etc.) I'll give out two RAKs...one for the first person to post the right answer and one drawn randomly from all the guesses. Since I won't even be able to think about actually putting the RAKs together and all till next Friday, I'll leave this open until then...let's say Friday, July 27 at noon MST. Go ahead and guess all you want...I won't reveal the answer until I close guessing. What are you waiting for? Get guessing!
***ETA: Forgot to mention that though I don't know precisely what will be in the RAK, you can count on some awesome stuff...most, if not all, new in package! When I say "purging" know that I actually have purged lately, so the stuff I'm talking about now is mostly recent! Good stuff!***

orange?
yellow?
red?
I'll guess purple, but I can't believe you didn't stop for HP. I finished it Sat & don't have anyone to talk to about it b/c no one I know is done reading!
looks like you have been missing out on yellow in your gallery
fushia or magenta
I would guess purple. congrats on not getting H.P. yet. have it on the counter but havn't touched it yet as it has been too hectic here. will have to get together when your done.
I am going to guess yellow.

Black?
Hey Amanda. I don't need the RAK, but I'm going to guess purple, just for the fun of it and because it's my fave color LOL! Way to get the LO's finished - you go girl! very soon you'll be reading HP, almost there now! MJ
I'll guess pink ;o)
My guess is gonna be pink also, since I see you have boys and you probably don't get to use pink much....LOL
I'm going to guess white - I tend to overlook that color a lot. BTW, you have a lot more restraint when it comes to the new HP book than I did, LOL!
Hmmmmm....I will say orange. NO--Green. NO WAIT--orange.
:)
I am sure it's red!
can't wait to see your book.
Am I too late? I guess purple! (And if I win, I can DRIVE over and pick it up in my new CAR! Whoo-hoo!)
I guess pink too!!
Love the dentist stories - your boys are so CUTE!
Congrat's on getting 50 layouts done! My guess is green.
