"Me" Time & Political Ads

Oh my, the political ads have started! All the mudslinging and just building oneself up and not being able to believe anything really just gives me the willies every time I see the ads. I hate them! I thank God for my Tivo this year so I can just go bleep, bleep, bleep and in 5 seconds zoom past them all. Tivo is one of those things that once you get it, you wonder how you did without it.

I had so many things I should have been doing last night, but I just needed some “me” time. I was getting withdrawals from not having done any layouts in a while—a true sign of a scrapping addict! I am so far behind on my layouts. I was thankful to get three done last night.

I will share one of them. This uses Jeri Ingals River Rock kit. My son and his friend have a common interest of music together and I think it is a wonderful activity for them to be writing songs and music together. A great way for them to spend free time. They often go to the river and sit and play. One day I took the two of them on a photo shoot. I learned a lot about photography that day. I was paying attention to “lines” in the scenery around them. Although these photo do not show that, I will probably eventually share others that do. I looked for lines in the scenery and then positioned them accordingly so that the lines directed the eye to them. I loved the opportunity to play with it!
