Speed Scrapping Marathon - Jan 7-9

Get your scrapbooking shoes on, because MouseScrappers is hosting a Speed Scrap Marathon!

I'm hosting on at 6pm EST on Saturday, January 8. It's my first time running a speed scrap, so we'll see how I handle the 'speedy' pressure!

New Dress A Day

I just found the greatest blog!

http://newdressaday.wordpress.com/

This girl is taking ugly, outdated dresses (most of them mumus) and trimming and hemming them into super cute things!

More failblog!

Do you ever see funny photos on the internet and you think, "where are these silly places?"

Well, I stumbled upon this photo on failblog today, and I know EXACTLY where it is. We actually giggled about it during our trip to visit Jonathan's aunt in Memphis, TN.

Morning Wood ... classic!

Epic Fail

I shouldn't laugh at this ... but it made me giggle.

Remember when there was just one giant lap bar? So if you are small-ish and you sat by somebody who was large-ish you had to hold on for dear life! That's what made Tower of Terror extra scary.

Failblog is one of my favorite websites. Check it out!

Graph Jam

I found a great new blog to follow.

www.graphjam.com

It's great stuff!

Final Fail

I know what you're thinking ... "enough with the fail blog already!?!"

Ok - these are the last 3 photos I'll post.

I think the middle one is my favorite. Not that I'm pro-domestic violence or anything, but come on! Who put up this sign?!?

Go green!

More hilarity from the Fail Blog ... although in this case, it's a win!

Carnivore Win!

I can't stay away from Fail Blog!

"Keep being awesome!"

Fail!

I stumbled across the greatest website. I spend about an hour browsing thru it, until I felt like such an internet dork.

It's www.failblog.org

It's just hilarious photos of things "failing" and sometimes (like the photos below) "winning".

Now it's a part of my ever expanding google reader.

Check it out!

Hello Kitty Hell

I just stumbled upon a hilarious website:  Hello Kitty Hell

When I was in grade school, we lived a couple blocks from a mom and pop grocery store and drug store.  I loved going to the drug store and looking at all their Hello Kitty and Little Twin Stars stuff.

As an adult, I no longer purchase anything Hello Kitty related, although I still think it's super adorable.  Every time I'm in Epcot (and Jonathan will let me), I wander thru the Japanese store to look at all the Hello Kitty and friends stuff.

Digital Scrapbooking - more Alaska

I used the same template (templates rule!!!) for each of these pages, but I flipped it around, so they don't all look 100% the same.

I think I like the Juneau page the best, although the word "Skagway" is a really cute alpha I downloaded.

All my digital scrapbooking materials were downloaded for free! Thank you Ikea Goddess!

Scrapbooking challenge!

I've been participating in the disboards weekly scrapbooking challenges.  

Click here to see this weeks challenge.

It's a fun way to "force" me to scrapbook.

And there are prizes ... but I haven't won anything yet.

Plus, each week somebody sets up a "challenge".  Like last week the challenge was to use 15 different things on the page.  Sometimes the challenge is to use a specific color palate (like the colors of Aladdin.)

This week it wasn't too restrictive.  We just had to scrapbook a Disney hotel.  Last year we stayed 1 night at the Caribbean Beach for Jonathan's birthday.

Movie Yak

Wow - there are 4 new movie posts on movie yak TODAY!  And none of them are mine.

Yeah Movie Yak contributers - thank you, thank you, thank you!

More digi scrapping

I just wanted to show off more of my digital scrapbook pages.

I still am thinking about how to print them out and put them in a scrapbook.  Maybe blurb.com or something similar.

All my stuff is from Britt-ish designs or free stuff from Ikea Goddess.  Love those websites!

Product Placement of the Day

Check out this fun blog!

Google this again!

If you have a blog, I highly suggest you sign up for Google Analytics (sp?).

www.google.com/analytics

If I spelled "analytics" correctly, then that link should work.  Doh!

Basically it counts how many people views your blog per day, where they are from ... all sorts of data points!

Did you know that almost 20 people read my blog per day?  Who are you?!?  Leave me a comment, b/c I'm just curious.

Google this!

If you enjoy my blog, and other blogs as well, I highly recommend you sign up for a google reader.

http://www.google.com/reader

If you have a blog, then you already have a google sign in.  If not, what's another username and password for you to remember (groan huh?).

Basically, what google reader does it tells you when somebody has updated their blog.  So for me it works out great!  Instead of going to 15+ friends blogs (and other awesome blogs like Cake Wrecks), my google reader tells me when on of them has been updated.

If you notice on the right hand side of my blog, you'll see 'subscribe to posts'.  If you click there, and then choose the 'google' option, it will automatically put my blog in your google reader.  If a blog you like doesn't have that quick and easy option, then you can manually add stuff to your reader.

Check it out!!!

Great blogs!

Check out these 2 blogs.  You will be laughing so hard you will cry!

1.  Cake Wrecks - it's just like it sounds.  It's a bunch of super, lame, ugly cakes that 'professional' bakers made and charged money for.  Take the time to read the commentary, it's hilarious!

2.  "Quotation" Marks - it's a blog that has photos of random signs all using unnecessary quotation marks.  It's so lame, that it makes me laugh.

Like to yak about movies?

Check out my new movie blog: http://www.movieyak.blogspot.com/.

This time it's not just me blabbing on and on about nothing. It's a bunch of my friends writing movie reviews!

If you would to join in, you can write comments about the various movies. Or, better yet, if you would like to be a Movie Yak contributer - let me know!

Coming soon to Orlando!

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet! And a little scary.

I guess I can get over my slight fear of heights in 2010.
