Random Blatherings
You know what I miss most after losing my entire blog to a freak database disaster?
All your comments!
There was some great stuff in there - ideas, links, funnies…Â You guys are great and your contributions make doing this so much more fun than eating peanut butter straight from the jar.
So, what are your plans for this weekend? I’ll start Friday with a crop with friends (yeah, most of my friends still use paper to scrapbook) and head into the weekend with virtually no plans. I’m finally over the crud that ruined last weekend (a holiday weekend, no less) so we’ll probably get out of the house and do something with the kids. The nearby dinosaur park has been mentioned a lot recently by my little ones, so we may be in for some T-Rex action. I’ve got to remember to put on my sunscreen, though. Lately, even minimal exposure has resulted in pinkened skin and I’m not interested in hastening the aging process at this stage in my life.
My teenager is furiously working on her plan to “get out of Europe” for the summer and escape to the blistering heat of Arizona. She’ll be gone for four weeks and thinks she’ll be going shopping-crazy while there but she forgets that the rest of us still have to eat back home in Dresden. I’m desperately trying to complete the Shutterfly album I’ve started for her about her time here because I want her to have an easy way to share her experiences with friends and family back home. The problem is getting pictures, names and stories from her to populate said album. Like many teenagers, she likes to keep her “stuff” to herself. I realize it’s part of her growing independence but, darn it! how am I supposed to make this gift for her if she won’t cooperate!?! How do all you mothers of teens get the photos and stories to complete layouts of these creatures? Without raiding their Facebook and MySpace albums?
Well, check in with your weekend plans and suggestions and I’ll try to drop in tomorrow with my promised paper pack.
Tschüss!

ok - i just started a blog and now I find out that you can lose the entire thing? AACCK.
I have a teenager at home, so I feel your pain. Anytime I try to take photos of her, it’s about as fun as chewing nails. And forget about getting photos of her WITH her friends - they ALL avoid the camera like the plague. Frustrating beyond belief!
Bummer about your blog, I had similar happen to my site, had to totally rebuild…Major bummer!
We’re back up and running now, so all is good.
Teenagers are an interesting sort, ain’t they? Good luck on your book
I’m hoping to go fishing this sunday for mothers’ day, we’ll see if the weather here cooperates!
Have a great one!
teenagers can be so close mouthed at times for sure!!

Hey! Thanks for the templates (picked up both!) Totally love how you did the layering and only focused on the photos!
You rawk! 
Ha! Gina, it was actually YOUR template (the Easter one) that made me realise that I NEEDED new templates! Thanks so much for posting your templates. They are super high quality and really unique.
