Quick Update

Hello! Hope you are all having a good day.

Today is a breathe-easy day for me. Still catching up on little things here and there. I am finally almost caught up with everything I need to do before I leave for Novi, MI. I haven't had a non-scrapping day in a while. Whew! April is probably the busiest I have ever been. I've miraculously completed a ton of stuff this month without losing my sanity. :D But here comes May, oh boy! LOL.

One of the recent treats I had was having a new friend, Amanda Bottoms, create fonts out of my handwriting. Check it out! Been wanting to get this done as I love the look of handwritten fonts on my layouts.

Folks, she can turn your handwriting into a font for free. All you have to do is follow the instructions down at the bottom of her webpage: Fonts for Peas. {Please follow the directions precisely for a chance to get her to turn your handwriting into a font.}
You can also download over 200 of the cutest handwritten fonts she has made -- and they really are all unique and all fabulous.

Who watched AI last night? I did. I really liked the performances from the Davids & Syesha.
{Paula's "oops" was something else, wasn't it? She is in a world of her own. LOL.}

Have a great day!!

This and That

American Idol: You know how I am hooked on this show. After watching tonight's elimination, I am a little bewildered that Brooke is still there. But little David is too, so I am happy about that.
What a great finale that would be if the 2 Davids were in it?
{I'm still listening to my Phantom of the Opera soundtrack. LOL.}

I am also gradually adding more albums on the left sidebar. I just added one for some of my MM Masters work. Planning on adding more images soon -- mostly "oldies but goodies." ;-) Here's one of my favorites (both photo of my daughter & the layout):

Online class from me? June 1. Stay tuned.

I am working through a long list of assignments, 2 trips in May, a visit from a dear friend from the Philippines. Lots going on.

Anyone have an awesome photo paper to suggest?
I just ordered some Epson Premium Luster paper for my R1800. Can't wait to get those.

That's all for now. Ciao!
