Excuse me...I need to TOOT...

I got a little surprise in my e-mail box yesterday...it was the fabulous Gina Miller asking little ol' me if I wanted to be one of her guest creative team members for the month of May! What did I say? Well after jumping around the room...I managed to compose myself to reply with an estatic yes! I am so excited and can't wait to get started! If you are familiar with her work and the work of her equally fabulous team...you are well aware I have a lot to live up to....but it's a challenge I'm willing to take! So stay tuned for some layouts featuring Gina's work!

Even though I was visiting friends in Madison all weekend, I did manage to get two layouts done last night:

The previous one makes more sence with this one that I did for Gina's sketch challenge at Scrapbook Bytes.

And as I write this...Gina left me a comment about my bad day post below that I had to announce my good news....LOL!

In other news...

Happy Birthday Grandpa Joe!

Well apparently Grandpa doesn't wish I post his photo today! Unfortunately I never met him as he died in 1971 a few months before my parents married. If he were still living he would be the ripe age of 111-years-old (and no...that's not a typo!) Let's try that photo again so you can see how handsome he was...

Blogger wouldn't let me, but I found a way...Tomorrow you'll see his daughter, my mom as her birthday is tomorrow.

Ok...well I've rambled enough...as you can tell my bad day has turned around!
