fanboy alert: MARAH JOHNSON!

i think i might have a crush on Marah Johnson. not as creepy as it sounds, mostly, but i think she's my favorite "scrapbook person" that i've met to date.

earlier this week, Vivian from Memories Live On asked if i wanted to join the class that Marah would be teaching this weekend. hey, why not? i'm not really the kid that takes a lot of classes, but it was something to do and the sample intrigued me and i accepted her gracious offer.

1st off, Marah was NOT what i expected. from the other class samples i have seen of her's i didnt expect such a spit fire. (dont judge a book by its cover, right?!) she used the word ARTIST, which i love more than anything. she really is an artist and is amazingly creative. but thats me getting ahead of myself. while i do think that everything she has created is beautiful, most of it wasnt exactly "up my alley". before the class, i checked out her blog a touch, but just a couple posts. i didnt look into her lines with creative imagination. about half way through her class and listening to what she was about a bit, it dawned on me that she was the one who made some of my favorite transparencies EVAR! (and the line that goes with it)

 

so much my favorite, that its in its own special folder and still unused. maybe i will use it this week in honor or meeting her...

anywho, so here is what we did today. or at least the front of it.

 

i really like it and had loads of fun making it. (the ultimate personal goal when i'm teaching a class is for my students to have a good time!) i'm going to work on it a bit more. get some photos and recipes in it. and then i think i will leave it off at memories live on for a few months to inspire others. feel free to stop by and check it out!!! (well, give me a few days 1st...) will post the inside before i take it to the store now that i think about it. anywho... lata!

whats up with the poo brown title?

i noticed it a few days ago. didnt think much of it. but now its kinda driving my nuts and i cant seem to get rid of it. its like my blog is stained. need more bleach. anywho, back to nose blowing.

sunshine and bunnies and poo,

**update**
i'm trying to embrace the poo brown. yea. idk.

skipping some small things...

but sticking out a super cold! hooray. erm. ok. anywho, so stuffy and weak, but not tired. i want to do stuff. i've knitted all day and did some light cleaning, but i know this cold is a direct result of sleeping 2-4hours each night for over two weeks. half insomnia and half just me working on projects. so, i learned my lesson and have been trying to catch up on sleep. i got naps this afternoon, but i've been sleeping in the spare bedroom, which isnt a horrible bed, but its not like sleeping my bed. BUT, i've been avoiding that because i dont want to breath sickness all over husband and child. i think tonight i might just crash out on the couch whilst watching harry potter. my favorite pass time.

anywho, i have super fun stuff coming up. we're having a valentines cookie decorating party with some of the boy's friends. i have a bit of an icing delima. i cant decide what to use. i have a recipe for "sugar cookie" frosting, but it takes a long time to set which might prove to be entirely too much of a mess for 3 toddlers. so, here is a poll. need helps! let me know!!!



i was also planning on making valentines cupcakes to send with husband to work. because thats how i roll. i was seeking a super yum chocolate cupcake with a thick chocolate frosting with candy cane hearts on top!!! i have loads of mini candy canes let, so how could i not?

anywho, i think i will clean off the bar a little. not exactly a high impact chore but will make me feel better. i need to save my energy to do the dishes tomorrow. woots.
