Reality....

set in on Saturday at my sister's place. I was able to almost complete the comp idea books (2 out of 3 complete before I ran out of tacky tape). I was able to make 4 pages for Joelle's baby album and I got the chance to head to FBG to shop Scrapdoodles (www.scrapdoodles.com). I also made my page for the sketch contest. Now here is the kicker- I have entered this contest every month and loved every sketch I made and Christie has never entered. This month, she had this epiphany in the middle of the night for a great idea for the sketch. She had this picture of her oldest son holding a large black snake. She was going to use that and have the snake be the flower type embelishment. Now, when I first heard her idea--I was skeptical at best but lo and behold--her page rocked. It was ultra original, very well though out and had cute embelishments (red rhinestone eyes for the snake, gold slithering tongue). Oh well, woe is me this month. I liked my layout but not as much as hers. She might actually have a chance to win this one. It is that great. But the real joy of the day, I had a great time and go to see my nephews and just have fun. Pics to come soon.
