Thunder, Lightening, Snow, and Rain . . .

Couldn't believe it last night . . . All the thunder and lightening, rain, and then snow! Woke up this morning to our driveway looking like a skating rink. With temperatures right around 20 degrees at the moment, at least it isn't as cold as they had said it would be today. Here's hoping it stays that way!

Scrapping wise, yesterday was very productive! Sat and watched Speed TV most of the day, with all their Bud Shootout coverage, watched the race last night, and scrapped the day away. First layout that I got done was this one for my 2007 Summer album. Picture was taken when we had lunch at our local burger place, Kewpee, when Cathe was in town. The layout was a 'lift' of a Shannon Tidwell layout in the new 2008 KI Idea Planner. Actually forgot that I had preordered this planner and was pleasantly surprised to receive it in the mail on Friday. Second time I have used black as my background color this month . . . sure brings out the colors in a photo.

The second layout I completed was this one of Aiden. The picture was taken when we celebrated Christmas with the boys down in Columbus in mid-January. Loved all the bright colors in the picture and wanted to showcase Mr. Cutie Botootie in a layout. Went back through my stash of patterned papers and found these papers and cardstock from the June 2007 Lifetime Moments kit I receive. The layout was also inspried by one of Miranda's design ideas for that month. Loving all the buttons and Doodlebug gems on this one!

Very happy with the outcome of the Bud Shootout last night. Glad to see Dale, Jr. win the race. Mikey came in 11th and D.J. came in 13th. Not a bad showing considering how awful the year was last season for Michael Waltrip Racing. 7 days until the Daytona 500 . . . Let the NASCAR season begin!!

Well folks, have to start getting it together for the day. Heading down to Kate's to celebrate February birthdays this afternoon. Meeting Leslie, Chris, and Aiden in Bellefontaine around noon and then we will ride down together. Need to still wrap Kate's gift and pull myself together. Maybe I will even walk on the treadmill . . . .

Have a great Sunday everyone!
