Day 8 and a cookbook giveaway

Good morning. Especially good morning to my friend Jen. I had coffee and conversation with my west coast bestie this morning. Me at my desk, she in her apartment - thank you facebook instant messaging. It was wonderful. She is packing up her apartment for a move to a wonderful new city and life - I am so excited for her. I really wish I could go help her pack.

Boot camp last night. Now that softball is underway, I am losing workout time and I don't push myself as hard when I am not in that class. No weight gain, but I haven't lost any. I get two days in this week --- YES!!! I feel so much better now that exercise is a part of my routine.

Came home, made a quick cheese quesadilla with salsa verde for dinner and headed to the studio. Poca comes and goes between the house and MaggieGraceWorld. Its nice to have a studio mascot - but there is a bunch of stuff she can get into so I have to watch her closely.

I finished this journal. The center is a note card front - the background is a reference to the fruit of the spirit.


That was the only one I finished. I stalled on two others. Artist block. I was just not happy with how they were going. I pre-assembled and left them lying on the counter to look at with fresh eyes tonight. I also started another, and I like the layout, but I have a technical attachment issue to work out. Again, I left that one on the counter.

I did put away another mixed box of CRAP. Got several more of these to sort through.

I also found several books that are simply taking up space in my house. Time to give something away. The cookbook below is up for grabs. You can go here to learn more about it. I have the paperback version. Leave comments today 9-9-09. I will come into my office in the morning and randomly choose one lucky person.

I also added a new blog to my sidebar - I have it listed as Jennifer S. Jennifer is the mom of the Morman Boy who is a huge part of College Girl's life. As traumatic as the early spring was for my family, we did add some really nice people to our list of friends. Molly and Sam say that their moms are basically the "same person". Jennifer is brand new to blogland and I would love for some of you guys would drop over and say hello to her. Her post today is about a project that I wish I could have been a part of, but just couldn't work out.

Oh and go see MaryAnn. She has a piece published in a Stampington magazine. I am so excited for her.

I hope all of you have a wonderful day. I have a beautiful life and I want you to have one too.
