And the winner is...

To be absolutely fair, I put the names in a bowl and let little Miss Hazel pick the winner. Here's her LO:



Melanie, e-mail me at charmedgirlnc@gmail.com with your address, and I'll get that RAK in the mail to you with the quickness! Congrats, girlie!

So, last night Tina came over for craft night. Ever have one of those days when NOTHING you tried to do came out the way you had envisioned? I totally ruined 2 LO's that have now found a cozy new home in the good old circular file. Some Li'l Davis paint, that looked to be a beautiful blush color in the bottle, actually ended up looking more like spilled blood on paper. One LO wrecked. Then, I was working on this tribute LO for Bryan's dad, and it just wasn't happening. No matter what I did, it didn't work. I salvaged some pieces of it, and junked the rest. After two failed attempts at scrapping, I decided to just print off another huge batch of pictures to work with for the next couple of weeks. But, alas...that wasn't in the cards either. I have been having the hardest time getting my Mac to synch up to my mom's printer when it comes to the color output. The colors just keep coming out so wonky on all of my prints. I'm all calibrated for my printer at home, and I really don't want to change it all up just for the next 2 months. Argh! It's so frustrating!

That's okay, though...Tina didn't feel much like scrapping either. So, we just talked, munched on pizza, and watched The Big Bang Theory. Fun times. I'm really going to be sad when it's time to go back home, and not be able to see my girl whenever I want. But, hopefully, she can come visit us soon in 'Bama.

This morning, I finally got the kids' Halloween portraits from JC Penneys in my e-mail. Here are a my favorites:

I know I'm a little biased, but I don't care...Luka is the cutest in that caterpillar costume! Anyway, I went to bed last night feeling so blah...like I hadn't accomplished anything. Hopefully, I can get a fresh start today. I'm off to give it a shot. :0)
