Pressure's on...

Got my Heart kit in the mail yesterday from Coordinates Collections...once I stopped drooling I needed to buckle down and get to work. Just 2 weeks to get everything done before heading out to CHA! I drooled all afternoon yesterday...that "bullseye" paper is fabulous...how am I going to cut it up? When I went to bed last night I had no idea what I was going to do...this morning a few ideas came to me. Finished up one layout and printed a picture for the second this afternoon.

Here's a little peek for you....

As you can see I did manage to cut the Pink Paislee "Bullseye" paper...but only a small piece. The flowers/leaves were cut fro the PP "Hearts Bloom" paper which is part of the pattern paper addon for February. Otherwise everything you see here comes in the February Heart kit.

So I'll be working on a few more layouts this week and probably next weekend. Also need to start making a list of stuff that I will need to get before packing for CHA. Can't wait to go to California...busy working on putting kits together, but it's always fun just to hang with Jamie and Lisa. We are even taking a Donna Downey class together one morning...should be fun!

On a personal note....I've given up...my eyes are not what they used to be! Had my eyes examined last week and as I suspected I need reading glasses. Now I just need to get use to wearing them. I spent close to a half hour picking out a pair, this is what I got....

Not the best picture...I took it with my phone on Friday at work.

So that's where I am at right now...

Jen! I love your longer hair! And sooo cute in your glasses :) (of course, I have a pair that are almost identical... soul mate) :)

I agree with Lisa, your hair and glasses look great! I have a similar pair too. Lucky you going to CHA, and WOW a class with Donna Downey, how awesome. I have a pile of her canvas kits waiting to get started on!

Glasses look fab! I have been having trouble on and off since I was pregnant, and finally went to the eye dr last summer, and they pretty much said, um, if you wear the glasses that you have, you'll be fine. So I haven't gotten new ones since ... 2001? :)

I finally cleaned out the scrap room over Christmas... I am really looking forward to spending time in there again. Lately, it's just been agonizing to have to do anything in there. But the Dec Daily album is coming soon!

Love the glasses. Don't fret over 30 minutes choosing glasses; I just went with my brother who took 45 minutes and has since decided that he's returning them. :)

I'm so insanely jealous about the fact that you'll be in CA, at CHA, and with Lisa and Jamie! Enjoy!
