Laundry Machine

I HATE laundry. Not sure why, cause it's really not all that hard to do. Our apartment complex has machines we can use, so it's way easier than when I had to wash by hand. Nevertheless, I have been known to go buy new underwear or socks in lieu of washing my dirty ones. Well, today I finally did laundry. I spent more than $20 in our quarter washers and driers - that's NINE loads of laundry. How can two people have that many dirty clothes????

Lookie here!

Oooh, Tanya named me a BFF -- Blogging Friend Forever, how cute!

Photo Journal

I'm in a circle journal group on ATCsforAll where we make two page spreads -- one page has a photo and the other page is our interpretation of the photo. This time the theme I worked on was 'trees.' I took a picture of a pretty maple tree near my apartment building. I've been admiring it as the color of its leaves change. (Since I took this photo it has lost nearly all of its leaves)



I haven't done very much photography, but I do like taking pictures. I signed up for this journal group thinking it would inspire me to carry my camera around with me more often. I have taken more pictures than I normally do, but I still feel a little weird taking pictures on campus when people are walking around.

Make it Mondays: Houses

I made these ATCs for a swap, and they fit with the theme of the Make it Mondays challenge too! Neato :) I had fun making these. I used my copic markers, then put some colored pencil on top. A few gel pen accents.

Altered Playing Cards

I'm so excited about having a WHOLE deck of altered playing cards, that I'm posting pics of them everywhere :-) Don't they look awesome together?? I can't decide how to display them -- putting them in a binder seems too boring. I might make up a scrapbook for them.

Tagged!

I got tagged by Blueskysunburn (Jennifer), a friend from AFA. It's a kind of blogging game! You tag someone, they make a post with six snippets about themselves, and then they tag 6 more people. Cool game! Six things about me:

1. I'm mad for inchies! I cut up some boxes from Mary Kay products today to make inchie blanks.
2. I'm an English teacher who can't spell!! I dread students asking me to spell something, haha! Well, what do we have spellcheck for nowadays, right??
3. I never ever dust. Achoo!!
4. I, erm, in fact am in need of a dragon intervention. I keep clicking on those things, like I don't have anything better to do :-) While I'm at it, here's my latest egg:
5. I hate socks.
6. But I like shoes!

I'm tagging:

• Dee, one of Two Brains (I'm the other brain!)
• Tanya, that Cheeky Urchin
• Zhenia, from two bits
• SuziBlu, who shares her Lovely Dream
• Lupin, making handstitched lovely Bugs and Fishes
• Michelle, from Mish Mash
  

Here there be dragons :)

These are kind of silly, but I like them: dragon eggs!! They need to be clicked on so that they'll hatch, and then after they hatch they need to be clicked to grow up. Here are the ones I have so far:
