I Love My Dog(s)
I'm so excited!!!
I applied to be on the Creative Team for a super designer, Sweet Blossom Designs a couple weeks ago. And, she chose me!! How fitting is it that the first kit I got to work with is called "I Love My Dog" and is a mini-kit available at the Scrap That Idea store. Cute kit, don't you agree?

A bad day got better....
I hate reading emails at work that turns a decent day into a bad day. But, by the end of the work day, things were a little better since some duties went very smoothly. If things go as smoothly tomorrow, I may not have to bring work home this weekend.
I got a phone call this evening that made me feel even better. Thanks Steph! Can't wait to see you again in April.
But, the best thing happened about 9:00 p.m. I got an email that I wasn't expecting and I'm really excited about the opportunity it brings with it.
Can't say just yet what it is, but will as soon as I can!

A Special Layout
I've been wanting to make a layout using this picture for quite some time now but struggled with a layout design to use. A SS friend is starting to design templates and asked if anybody would try it out. The minute I saw it, I knew this was the picture I wanted to use. Thanks Tiff for the template!
I used a kit from Sweet Blossom Designs called Vintage Fruit and I really love the way it came together.
Think I'll have it printed up and put it in a frame for Dad and Martha.

Scrapping at Jen's
Jen invited the Ohio girls and some other friends to her house for a day crop last Saturday. Ended up with 4 of us joining Jen. Angela left before Holly arrived so we took a group pic before she left. Lucky Holley had an individual pic taken.
Here's my layout for the occasion.

Flooding
The storms started late last evening with thunder, lightning and some heavy rains before I went to bed. It was a somewhat sleepless night. Seems the little white dog decided I was the best pillow she's ever had. If it wasn't cuddled up on my legs, it was cuddling right next to my head! Can't remember how many times I moved her and she came right back!
I got up at normal time and as I was walking to the kitchen to let the dogs out, my phone rang. I couldn't read the caller id because I didn't have my glasses on. I decided I better answer it. It was the HR director calling to tell me that Miller's was closed until 9:00. It seems the entrance to Commerce Drive at 25-A was flooded and the cops had it blocked off. I let the dogs out then we went back to bed for about 90 minutes. I turned the TV on the local station in case there was any further updates. No update so I went to work at 9:00.
After work I ran an errand and as I went down Blackhoof and Defiance St, I noticed the traffic was very heavy. Much more so than usual. Well, that happens when a main east/west street is closed due to flooding! After my errand, I came back to the corner of Defiance and Harrison to take pictures. Harrison St was closed on both sides of Defiance. People in the apartments by the river on the east side of Defiance were loading stuff into cars and trucks. The parking lot behind town was flooded as well.
After leaving there, I went down Auglaize St and pulled up in front of 512, the house where Mom grew up and Grandpa lived until he died 15 years ago. I knew that back yard would be flooded and I was right. I do believe it was worse than the summer of 1992. I took some pictures there also then drove over to Kelly Drive. As I waited to turn onto Kelly, I took a picture from Hamilton looking east towards downtown. Totally flooded park. I pulled over on Kelly and got out to take some pictures. You could just see a little ripple where the dam is underneath Hamilton Rd. The river was also very close to Kelly Drive. And, the cornfield along Kelly.... under water with it coming very close to Kelly across from the houses. I don't remember ever seeing it come quite that close to the road in that area!
Thankfully, I have no water in my basement and no debris in my yard.
But, Auglaize County made it to national news on the weather channel during the 8-9:00 hour tonight! Major flooding and evacuations in St Marys.
Just a few of the pictures I took....
That's looking down Harrison St towards the river.
Looking across the river to the houses along Auglaize St. Hard to tell where the banks are!
The backyard of the house my grandpa lived in for years on Auglaize St.
Looking east along the river from Hamilton Road
River almost to Kelly Drive
The dam under Hamilton Road.
The cornfield along Kelly Drive.
Hopefully, the weather forecast for the next few days will be right. Nice and calm and the flooding will go down.

And, there it is! Off and running for 2011!

Project 365
Stay Tuned....
My favorite scrapbooking forum is getting geared up for a Project 365 challenge. Taking a picture every day and of course, scrapping it!
Yeah, I know. I was doing this way back when. It's been over a year since I posted one of my "Week In Review" layouts. Life has a way of interrupting routines when you least expect. I did complete more of those layouts, I just didn't post them. In fact, my complete "Week In Review" album will have layouts from August 30, 2008 to August 28, 2010 (they are done, just need to be printed! That's 2 whole years that I took a picture a day. I might have missed 1 or 2 days in that time but many days I took more than 1. Just think about it..... at 1 picture a day, that was at least 730 pictures!
So, back to Project 365. Pretty much the same idea although I'm going to change up some things this time around. Instead of the same layout every week, I've got 3 templates (at least for now) that I will use. May use the same template several weeks in a row, and may not. Just depends on which template will fit the pictures I want to use. I also will do some journaling about the pictures this time around. I didn't do that the last time.
Like the last time I'm going to use 1 digital kit for every layout, just varying the papers/elements I use. Luckily my favorite designer is releasing a kit each month for just this purpose! Thanks Vicki! With such a wonderful kit to use, how could I not want to do this :) And, I happen to know that some of my friends on SS are using this kit too!
