Productiveness

i was productive today -- on this site at least. i put up the new layout for my artwork. it's based off of my vintage camera collection. it only took me a month to get the gumption to do it, but i did it. i built it so long ago i almost forgot how to set up the coding for it, but it wasn't too bad to figure out. now all i need to do is update it. that is my next goal.

ugh

UGH! what a hectic few weeks. it's just been unbelievable with all of the changes at work, plus all of the projects we have to finish in such a short amount of time. mom and i went to an antique show. i got some random things and at least one christmas present. i plan on making a list tonite of the christmas presents that i need to buy or make. we went to the mall today and it was already pretty crazy with the shopping. i still can't believe it's almost thanksgiving. when becca s. told me on monday i was in shock. i guess i knew, but it didn't sink in until she mentioned it. it was astonished!

weekend

mom and i went to 5 craft shows yesterday. they're ok. but i think i like going more just b/c my likes them and it's something we can do together. we went to 1 by our house, 2 in highland and 2 in munster. we really didn't get too much. i always try to find a really crazy handmade christmas ornament for the tree. last year i found this little bear that was dressed like an angel librarian. i had to buy it. this year i already found a crazy cardinal made out of poof balls. i'll have to post pix.

crazy puppy

this is one wild doggie. i was out taking pictures of one of our trees the other morning and mila began rolling around in the leaves. this basically captures her true essence -- she's wild.

work was super crazy today, there's a lot going on an a lot to take in. i'm so glad it's the weekend. i can't wait until monday for our bead making class, plus it's Becca's birthday!
