card challenges

I decided that since I make most of the cards that I give away for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, etc, that maybe I should try some of the challenges on Splitcoaststampers to get ahead of the game and have a few extras lined up in my card box. So this past week I did just that. I have developed a tendonitis in my foot so have been trying to take it alittle more slow this last little while until I can actually get into a specialist and see what they have to say.

So here is 1 that I did and uploaded onto the scs website. The other thing that I did this last week that probably didn't do my foot any good because I was walking alot outside on uneven ground was empty out and clean up the fish pond. I had to drain it all, vacuum it out and refill it after catching all the fish (by net not pole!!) But my little buddies are all safely settled inside now for the winter. I seem to have lost afew of them over the summer, maybe to some hungry animals that live around here???? I have not fished any dead carcasses out of the pond so don't know where else they would have gone.

I tried to take some photos of the beautiful full moon the other night but I guess I need a tripod for nighttime pics. It sort of turned out but was pretty fuzzy because of the slow shutter speed. But on the other hand I have never been able to take night photos before so I was pretty excited even with the fuzziness. And this gives me something to put on my Christmas list that everybody says is usually non existant, mainly because I really don't need anything and my wants are all too expensive for my kids to afford!!!!! I will try and get some more scrapbook pages done this week. I have a Crop and Cruise to go this coming weekend so have to save something to do there!! I have so much trouble getting pages done at these things because I am usually too busy visiting and looking at everybody else's pages!! I am trying to be more organized that I usually am and only planning a certain number of pages to get done. I will try to have everything that I need only for thoses pages and not take my entire scraproom with me!!LOL It is a plan anyway!! Julie is inspiring me by doing her pages up year by year so I am going to start organizing my photos yet again and see if I can manage some pages from years gone by!
