Phew!

Sorry I’ve been out of pocket a bit lately.  Between projects for One Month To Win It and Arden being sick this week, I feel like I’ve barely had a moment to do anything except care for tiny people, deal with poop in places it shouldn’t be (don’t ask – let’s just leave it at it involved a preschooler in the utility sink), and work on furniture. 

I’ve been so scattered that I made a trip to the store with Arden and didn’t realize until I was checking out that I didn’t have any makeup on.  I know it’s vain, but I like to at least have some foundation and eyeliner on if I’m going out in public.

I have had a ton of fun participating in the competition but I have to admit I’m glad the work part of it is over.  A weight lifted off my shoulders the moment I hit send on my post.  I’m planning to do a tutorial for the nautical flags – those were fun to do, and I was torn between a banner for my parent’s house called “The Crab Trap” and their cart they call “The Crab Cart”.  Then I realized I only needed to do a “P” and they could have it either way.  Pretty cool!  I also found a cute knitting pattern for little birds that I’m going to make for Hadley’s room.

Have you heard that Picnik is shutting down next month?  I am super bummed about that – I have Photoshop Elements and I’m getting better with it, but there are many things that are sooo easy in Picnik that I haven’t figured out in PSE just yet.
