Brain dump.
Friday, January 25, 2008 at 11:54PM Many unrelated thoughts jumbled around in my head right now. Rather than making multiple posts or trying to actually organize my thoughts, I'll just spit it all out. ;)
First up, check this out! Creating Keepsakes and Shutterfly have joined up and made photo books even more awesome. At the moment, they're featuring two fabulous options...one by Ali Edwards and one by Jessica Sprague, two of my very favorite designers. To help show off how cool (and easy!) this system is, CK asked me to share this lovely little album that I made for my Micah using Jessica's ABC's of You book. Folks, I chose pictures and words and completed this whole thing in less than a day (and the longest part of that was my own indecision about which pictures to use). Super easy. Beautiful. Micah's going to love it...if I let him have it *laugh* (let's just say he's still not quite as careful with books as I'd prefer).
The boys and I watched "Mary Poppins" tonight, and it was a fabulous break from all things Transformers. They actually enjoyed it quite a bit, having been lured in by the promise of finally learning where "supercalafragilisticexpialadocious" (please don't ask if that's spelled correctly!) came from and assurances that watching the movie would help them say it better. :)
I really need to update my online galleries. I'll put that on the ol' to do list for the near future, okay?
Don't forget about the Prism contest going on right now!
If by some slim chance my dear high school friend, Vanessa, is reading this...happy birthday just a wee bit late...well, on the west coast it's still the 25th, so technically I'm not late. ;)
Oh. I actually sat down and put most of my pages in albums the other night. Whew. I need more albums. Despite the part of me that would really like all of my albums to coordinate, right now it's totally hodge podge...some strap hinge, some post bound, some three ring and all different manufacturers. I'm rather indecisive about the whole thing. :) I love the flexibility of the three ring style (and definitely prefer them for my 8.5x11 layouts which tend to be always "out of order") but like how secure everything feels when you're flipping through it with post bound albums. What do you think? Have any recommendations?
Finally, a Micah funny. Gave the kid a bath tonight, right? Nothing out of the ordinary. As I'm drying my delightful 2 year old off, though, he suddenly noticed that his fingers were pruney. Oh. My. Gosh. It was hilarious! He was soooo concerned and immediately had to check all his other parts to see if they were pruney also...I'll leave this to your imagination; but, yes, he checked all of his appendages. Apparently, he'd never noticed this particular phenomenon before. He was quite relieved when everything was back to normal. Kids. What awesome entertainment!
Okay, I think that was most of it, though I'm sure I forgot something. :) Hoping to enjoy a sunny weekend here...it'll be a heat wave! We're supposed to be above freezing all weekend!! Woohoo!
ETA: Sorry, I think the link to the album of Micah is working now!

Am I doing something wrong, I can't seem to find your album when I go to the link you posted. :(. In any case, I'm going to have to check out that site.
Same here. I can't get to Micah's album.
