<b><br /></b>
I've avoided the dreaded "pink aisle" forever. As a life-long tomboy, the "pink aisle" (otherwise known as the Barbie and Dress up aisle at soon to be defunct Toys R Us) gave me the heebie-jeebies. I refused to wear pink and avoided graphics with pink as much as possible. But it's time to embrace pink! And what better way to jump in than to pay hommage to the pinkest of the pinks.... Flamingos! Or, as I call them - "Flaming Ohs."<br />

I've always like flamingos. But now, with the removal of self-imposed pink-isolation, I can embrace them! Did you know a group flamingos is called a Flamboyance? Isn't that Fabulous!?!<br />

I grabbed a couple of cd's, applied various scraps - papers, buttons, embellishments I meant to use (but never did) and some leftovers from old sticker sheets, and, voila, altered cd's - one vintage and one modern.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">They were super fun, pretty quick and easy, and I will be doing more of these from my pile of scraps! It's such a small canvas, even the small scraps go a long way.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I posted way, way back about a savings plan I saw on Facebook. It worked out really well for me year before last, but I didn't stick to it this past year. I really missed having that "holiday savings" envelope to use for gifts, so I'm back to this for 2015.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">This is my 48 week savings plan! Because the reality is, you're going to want to spend that money FOR Christmas! It's based on the plan - </span><span style="font-size: large;">whatever number week it is of the year, deposit that much money into an account (or jar or mattress!). ie week 1, deposit $1, week 2, deposit $2, and so on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I like the concept, but the reality is money seems to get tighter for me as the year goes on. </span><span style="font-size: large;"> And I like the idea of smaller "payments" as the year continues instead of larger ones.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's my updated plan with deposit dates for 2015. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">Newton's first law - An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an<b> unbalanced force</b>.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">This is true of both the physical and the mental. A brain at rest, stays at rest. Get the brain moving - through thought provoking documentaries, browsing a gallery of the Masters, or just the incessant questions of a child, and it keeps going. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now I'm thinking</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span class="il" style="font-size: large;">blog</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">posts are subject to the same law. Let</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span class="il" style="font-size: large;">blog</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">posts dwindle to once every, er, uh, six months, and that's the pace that is kept.</span></span></div>

Here's a <span class="il">blog post, and, to put some force into the creative sphere, I'm going to go do some stamping!</span> </span></div>

I don't have a grand entryway or a cute alcove to display fun things. I have... a staircase. And when I greet you at the door, although my dog is friendly, all you see is... a staircase. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After more than a year of debating quotes, silhouettes, painting chevrons or stripes, I got inspired by a Google search of "painted stairs," and decided simple was the way to go; just adding some color would do the trick. Part of my delay was indecision on <b><i>what</i></b> to do; but the other part was wondering if I <b><i>should</i></b> do it. End the end, though, it's my house and the whole thing is going to have to be painted anyway at the dreaded time of "resale." It is, after all, only paint!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was at Lowe's to buy concrete for stepping stones (a future post, I'm sure!) and happened through the paint center. They had all these clearance pots of sample colors. I didn't set out to buy paint for the stairs. But here were the perfect colors! I started smiling just thinking about the "new" stairs. I tried to reason with myself that I had too much planned for the day to derail that and paint my stairs. I lost the argument! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Got home, taped the stairs, had the boys help decide the color order of the stairs, and dove right in. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cash Investment = $12 (including the brush)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Time = 1 hour</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Joy it brings me = Priceless!</span><br />

Gifs. Or at least the funky moms do!<span style="font-size: large;">Fun with animated gifs... I was going through my photo stash (digitally, of course). I have a "sport/speed" setting on my Canon. It takes rapid photos, one right after the other. I make pages with a handful of them, but the real fun is making animated gifs. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Open all the photos in the series and place them in the workspace. "Stack" the phones in sequence into one file so that each photo is a separate layer. When you go to save (in PSE or CSPS), Save for Web - and check that little box that creates so much fun - "animate." You have some timing options to choose - 1, 2, 5 seconds, etc. Most are great at 2 seconds, but my samples are at 5. Depending on the subject, they look a little too frenetic at 2 seconds!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">They're just fun and take the memory that can be captured on a page -</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The End of Civility... I've seen it...</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gene Roddenberry knew it in the 60's... we should have realized it, too. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The end of our civilized civilization brought </span><span style="font-size: large;">about by the need to communicate...not with each </span><span style="font-size: large;">other, but with computers.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

When you needed info on the Enterprise, they didn't <span style="font-size: large;">say "Computer, please tell me about so and so." They </span><span style="font-size: large;">said succinctly "Computer" and she, in Majel Barrett </span>Roddenberry's voice, said "<b><i>working</i></b>."</div>

The </span><span style="font-size: large;">"please" confuses her and she doesn't understand. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I simplify my request to exclude the polite phrases I </span><span style="font-size: large;">have had beaten into me since childhood. I decline to </span><span style="font-size: large;">say thank you since it doesn't compute.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">GR was such a visionary... if only we had realized </span><span style="font-size: large;">what he knew. We could have programmed </span><span style="font-size: large;">computers differently. To make them require hearing </span><span style="font-size: large;">please and thank you from us before providing us with </span><span style="font-size: large;">directions to wherever or the recipe for a delightfully </span><span style="font-size: large;">quenching drink. To have it respond "unable to </span><span style="font-size: large;">compute" when it doesn't hear the basics of society's </span><span style="font-size: large;">politeness.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Instead, we have been reduced to quick texts, have </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">lost our art of conversation and are watching <b>civilized</b> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">civilization disappear. Even I, who am a stickler for please and thank you, have reduced them to "pls thx" at the closing of texts and occasionally emails. I won't be doing that anymore. I will take the time to spell it out! To take the TIME to hold on desperately to the remnants of the civilized-nation I remember.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anything else... well... I'll be un</span><span style="font-size: large;">able to compute...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><a href="http://venturebeat.com/2013/05/06/rip-cs/" target="_blank"><b>Adobe is killing Creative Suite; here’s why</b></a></span><span style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br style="outline: none medium;" /></span><br />
As a long time user of Adobe programs - heck, I still use Elements 5 when I'm just doing a quickie adjustment! - I want to support them in their desire to improve their products and bottom line. It's their right, after all, as a business to adjust their model. It does mean I may forever stay with CS5, however! <br />
<br />
Some people are REALLY mad about it. <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2418874,00.asp" target="_blank"><b>Online Petition Against Adobe's Creative Cloud Approaches 9,000</b></a> Some just have walked away from Adobe.<br />
<br />
I admit, that I'm looking at other programs. A one time purchase feels easier than a monthly, ongoing subscription. <br />
<br />
In the mean time, I'll hold on a little more tightly to my "cereal boxes" of software and watch, wait and see if this "revolutionizes" the industry.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now Get Scrappin'! - either in the cloud or with your tried and true Elements 5!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">February is the month of Love. Love of family, friends, and pets. We lost a dear pet this week.

<span style="font-size: large;">I really like the idea of the 52 week savings plan a friend posted on Facebook recently. It goes like this -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For whatever number week it is of the year, deposit that much money into an account (or jar or mattress!). I like the concept, but the reality is money seems to get tighter for me as the year goes on.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-HPROpNJPOvJy4bSXXtau_kSld-rrxWtvOa3ZOvP3OVUSuJd1hu39T3kgks4C2bQ8dKmslulNChytOPyQIwBhpxlYquLPmntAmHFpvUnnri1IKM6HyQ1pPI3G9sUPG856VEE1hhkcBU8A/s1600/52wksavingsplan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-HPROpNJPOvJy4bSXXtau_kSld-rrxWtvOa3ZOvP3OVUSuJd1hu39T3kgks4C2bQ8dKmslulNChytOPyQIwBhpxlYquLPmntAmHFpvUnnri1IKM6HyQ1pPI3G9sUPG856VEE1hhkcBU8A/s320/52wksavingsplan.jpg" width="256" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i>(graphic from MissDanilu of Spring, Tx.)</i></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I'm doing my own take on this (yeah, imagine that, me remaking the rules!). It's the 48 week savings plan! Because the reality is, you're going to want to spend that money at Christmas! And, for me, I like the idea of smaller "payments" as the year continues instead of larger ones.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's my updated plan with deposit dates for 2013. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's only $10 short of the other plan, and I can spend it at Black Friday!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's not too late to start on either of these plans. Key is, you gotta PLAN!</span></div>

They're all warm and have that distinctive "sleepy" scent about them. Those hugs linger and communicate so much without a word. It's the only moment of the day that has no time demands and is shared between just us... before I lose them to video games, friends and the other distractions of their day. Life is Good.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today, I "embraced" 2013 with the same warm snuggle. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here'</span><span style="font-size: large;">s hoping you had a wonderful holiday break and are ready to embrace 2013!</span><br />

I took my son to get a haircut yesterday. He gets his head shaved (on a "2") and then let's it grow back. Months later, he shaves it again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am reminded of when I had time to scrap events like this. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am reminded how much I love scrapbooking and chronicling my boys' growth.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am reminded... of all that has transpired over the last two years... and</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i>I make a pact with myself. </i></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am juggling - full time job, raising two boys, keeping the house clean and the pantry stocked (a full time job in itself with two boys!), maintaining bathrooms and my sanity (well, mostly the last two!). We all juggle, especially moms. We make sacrifices to provide for our families, to care for our loved ones... our needs aren't usually on the top of the list.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My pact is to get back to what I have always said was "cheaper than therapy-" scrapbooking. Paper or digi, it matters not. What matters is the time it gives to me! I've long been an advocate for the creative outlet. I am fortunate to have a creative outlet in my job (which is probably why I hold on to my snippets of sanity with this long of a spell away from scrapping).</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I'm going to listen to my own directive... to "get scrappin'!"</div>

<br />
<div style="display: inline !important;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Hang it Up!" seems to be a constant demand (falling on deaf ears!).</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In an effort to curb the wet suits, swim shirts, and towels on the floor of the bathroom, I found two hooks on clearance at Hobby Lobby. My kids aren't into sports, but I didn't think I'd find 4 hooks for $2 anywhere else! </span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUJsQ-m0Rqg1THDFfG9HO0pSCtb5OukANt0yCvc1_uc5k9GV_K42bQ3PuOvidD_sRft8MOyxTUDzf2ecsvvl-nWfRNEAtWN8UWIobhmsE0AU3zTlCUDksMYJv_FD0geKee9PSvR7uOTxbW/s1600/hangitup3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="118" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUJsQ-m0Rqg1THDFfG9HO0pSCtb5OukANt0yCvc1_uc5k9GV_K42bQ3PuOvidD_sRft8MOyxTUDzf2ecsvvl-nWfRNEAtWN8UWIobhmsE0AU3zTlCUDksMYJv_FD0geKee9PSvR7uOTxbW/s200/hangitup3.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">I have been a paper scrapper for-ever. When I first transitioned to digital, I did about half and half for my family scrapbooking. Time passed, demands on my time changed as my kids grew (<i>and napped less!</i>), there were a few hybrid projects here and there, but, in the end, I found myself scrapping exclusively in digital. </span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHW99mT4MFCsIzYeeducbwhU-eAV9H7_3WibH9Tv50Tqt4zwf1dbExWSscLgxYM7iwP-1Yj9npDxY2EnYmJWIrSphQJ22grbBBMM7l3yT5zdDTDALeMJk1DMfllYqAAwvMSCPP_w8ObFXE/s1600/hangitup4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHW99mT4MFCsIzYeeducbwhU-eAV9H7_3WibH9Tv50Tqt4zwf1dbExWSscLgxYM7iwP-1Yj9npDxY2EnYmJWIrSphQJ22grbBBMM7l3yT5zdDTDALeMJk1DMfllYqAAwvMSCPP_w8ObFXE/s200/hangitup4.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">Looking at those hooks, I had a vision of digging into my papers. I miss paper! I miss the feel of it; even the smell of it. I miss peeling glue off my hands! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So dig in, I did. Found some Scenic Route coordinating papers that would go perfectly in the bathroom. Got some glue on my hands, popped a title off on the Pazzles, grabbed the Krylon gold leafing pen and, voila! Non sports themed hooks for the kiddos. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">So now the only challenge remaining is to get the kids to actually USE them!</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This project is easy... so go pick something out and glue some paper on it! </span><br />
