second saturday - march edition
while most of you are taking your 12 on the 12th photos today. i completed my march second saturday on saturday. it was no small feat! i didn't remember until around 11am while driving adam back and forth from doctor's appointments.
the images are different sizes and a bit catty whompus because it is my second page in week 10 project life as well and the template photos are not all the same sizes to fit in the pockets.
here are the deets (left to right from the top)

- i caught terry and sam making faces in the mirror together - terry asked if they look alike? what do you think?
- vitamins! i've been so good about taking them every day since i got this holder. so it makes me look like a granny - i'm okay with that!
- i didn't even realize it was second saturday until we were driving adam to a doctor's appt. he had a fever for 5 days and this photo was taken before his chest xray. turns out he has pneumonia - this was minutes before he fainted in the xray room. scared me to death!
- didn't drive me to drink though! lol rob bought this for terry as a thank you for fixing jackson's laptop - i thought the light coming through the bottom of it and the label were very cool! i took a sip later - firewater really!
- the boy scout coordinator came over to talk with terry about adam and boy scouting. we signed him up and he was given his neckerchief, numbers and book.
- adam spent most of the week lying on the couch like this - with woody sleeping right on top of him.
- what would a saturday be without a tall blonde (lol) from starbucks?
- a very unhealthy lunch - adam has not eaten much all week when he said he wanted burger king i said fine.
- sam decided to take an afternoon bath. he was in there for an hour playing and talking.
- i took sam to barnes and noble. he couldn't resist the lorax and he picked out a book.
- oh my pinkberry is so yum. this is sam's pomegranate yogurt with brownie bits, strawberries, mango and raspberries topped with the pomegranate sauce (which is to die for!)
- one of the perks of being married to an ex-chef is fabulous dinners. here we have ny strip topped with a bourbon mushroom sauce with portobellos and wild mushrooms served with the best mashed potatoes and lovely asparagus seasoned perfectly. it was delicious!

DHD Mad March Memories Blog Hop
hi and welcome to the Design House Digital Mad March Memories blog hop. you may have come here from the fabulous celeste knight's blog. (i love her name don't you?) if not, be sure to go back to the beginning and gather up all the goodness in the hop!
first off, i'm going to share a little tip with you. it's funny how we all have little things we do in photoshop that make our lives easier and other photoshop users do the same thing differently. this tip is about organizing your open windows. i like to use a lot of patterned paper on my pages. so i drag all of the papers in a kit into photoshop, then i use WINDOW - ARRANGE- FLOAT ALL IN WINDOWS then i select WINDOW = ARRANGE - TILE. this might be a little different in photoshop elements, play around a bit i'm sure it's right there! i pull my layout out and layer it over the other open windows then i can just clip my papers to the spaces on my page.
i made this page the other day which i just love! i thought i'd share the template here in case anyone wants to play! if you make something with it, share it in the gallery over at design house digital so i can see!
and as you are gathering LETTERS, my letter to give you is A
oh and last but not least, please leave a comment below to be entered in a drawing to win a $5 gift certificate to the design house digital store. i'll draw a winner on wednesday morning.
thanks for stopping by! your next stop is the oh so talented erica coombs.

calvinball
typically, doris calls the rules calvin ball and she makes them up as we go. to start layouts and projects of any size count for one point each. cards and mini-album pages will count for a half point each. so we'll see, usually i win because well those other three are lame (yes there is the trash talk), but this year i'm not going to make any extra effort. just do what i normally do - i feel kind-hearted and maybe i'll let one of them win. bwa ha ha! or maybe just maybe i'll hold back my numbers and post some outrageous number with proof before the end of the month. i'm low on cards, maybe it's time to make a few hundred b-day cards. ;) ya just never know.
here's one of my first layouts for the month. i ahve another i can't show it's for a digimorph over at design house digital. and i made 6 simple cards this am. that puts me at FIVE. watch out ladies!
