ok...who else was screaming their heads off last night for the US men's relay team...
OMG! SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!! HOW FREAKING FANTASTIC!!!! i mean i thought it was silver for sure when Lezak was a full body length behind going into the turn for the last 50M...but MAN! talk about fighting back!!! and shattering the world record by 4 seconds! i mean really.....i love it :)
so, SO cool...GO U.S.A!!!!!
& some more fantasticness for this rainy monday....August's tarisota gallery is up & it is gorgeous! (still smiling big time that i'm included in there...eeek!!! :)
i had so much fun creating with this collection...i think i got back to what i really love to do & how i create...back to me & my "style" so to speak...the colors & all of that satin ribbon just called my name...& i went a bit crazy with my sewing machine...but dang! was it fun!!
here is a peek at a mini book i created from the collection:
my fave pages from the book:
awwww...i know :) they LOVE being sisters...i'm thinking i've gotta savor all of this sisterly love b/c i have a feeling the teen years won't be so lovey-dovey...lol
hope you have a great monday!

I jumped off the couch and screamed! Most exciting Olympic moment I have ever seen.
Take that trash-talking Frenchies!!!

No the teenage years are not so wonderful ....but ...it all turns around and they get to love each other to bits.
However even in the teenage years...heaven help anyone who tries to hurt either one....so it isn't all bad.
One of my daughters said to me one day ...god Mum I was such a little bitch wasn't I.....I just smiled and said 'Well yes, but there were lots of times you were a saint.' Not sure she believed me though!!!! They are both my best friends in the world now.

Even though some of the Frenchies were kind of hot...they should not talk trash!
Beautiful mini!

Delightful work on that book Geeg....and, "No.", I wasn't screaming my head off b/c I am still boycotting the idea/the reality of the Olympics (of all things) being held in China.....the audacity! ;)
