It's been over a week since I blogged

and nothing overly exciting has happened in that time. It is nice to have a 3 day weekend...especially since the weather has been absolutley gorgeous for the last 4 days! Instead of scrapping I've been spending a lot of time outdoors...just soaking up the fresh air & sunshine. We haven't bothered to go over to the beach since I've heard the island is absolutely mobbed (gee work will be fun tomorrow....NOT!) Anyway here's where I've been spending a good deal of my time.

I took this picture just this morning. See that loveseat over along the fence? That's where I've been having my morning coffee and reading the paper. It's in the sun, but not too intense early in the morning. The patio between the pool and deck are new this year and we absolutely love it! Before you came off the deck onto some poor excuse for grass then had to open a gate and go into the pool area. Now that the kids are older and know how to swim we decided to take down the fence and do the patio. Did I mention that I love it??? Maybe next year I'll invest in some new cushions/umbrellas so everything matches better, but for now this is my oasis.

So I've been forcing myself to come in and work on my projects...I have ideas, but I can't seem to leave my oasis to go in and scrap. I did finish up another DT project this morning after my coffee and printed out pictures for another. Speaking of pictures here's a couple more from Disney....

hmmm...I found this last picture on my point and shoot camera. I think someone was proud of the fact that she finally talked me into buying a pair of Disney Crocs, what do you think? When I questioned her about it she told me she took it so I could make her a scrapbook page for her album. Already taking pictures and thinking like a scrapper.
