TGIF

Well, it's been quite the Friday! Matthew woke up at 2am with an unpleasant surprise for me! His Mussels from dinner did not agree with him! I won't go into the gory details, but it was smelly, messy, and not a lot of fun at 2am!

So the boy stayed home from school today. We have a ton of homework to make up over the weekend. It will be lots of fun.

I spent the day working on print work for a client. I am exhausted, but I didn't want it to turn into a week long process, so the whole day was dedicated to getting her work done. Just some printing to be done, and it is all complete, and ready to ship.

Dad's birthday dinner was very nice. We went to this restaurant we had never been to before. It is called Fishbone Seafood Bar & Grill. The food was really good... just shouldn't let 10 year old boys eat mussels so close to bedtime I guess! It was a pleasant evening.

Thursday

Well, instead of lighting a candle for ambiance this morning, I thought I was going to have to light them out of necessity... but the power came back on only moments after it went out! Now the sun is shining, and it looks like things are going to clear up. If you don't like the weather in Michigan, just wait an hour or two!

Today is my Dad's birthday! Happy Birthday Dad! Here is a photo of him taken last month (He's the one with the white hair!) -- (Paybacks Dad! for the laughs about the tribune telling the whole world that I am 40!). He was honored with a "Lifetime Achievement Award" from the Osteopathic Medical Foundation of Michiana at "Celebrate the D.O. Difference -- An evening of Baseball and Barbecue!" held at "Cove" where the SilverHawks play baseball in South Bend Indiana. http://www.silverhawks.com/

Well, lot of creative stuff to do today, not to mention laundry... better get at it!

Day Two...

The candle is lit, there is a soft jazz CD playing on the stereo, Matthew is off to school, Jeff is off to work, and I am ready to spend another day in creative mode. I am working on a Friendship Kit for the web site. I already created a QuickPage, but now I need to work on finishing up a full kit. I donated the QuickPage, where all sales from the site will go to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Katrina victims. Here is a link if you want to take a peak... http://www.deco-pages.com/Deb_Ammerman_-_A_Friend_Quick__P147C73.cfm Below is the QuickPage Gallery Example with photo and journaling.

I just love the fall, and all the colors that are starting to appear in the woods behind my house. I guess today is officially the first day of fall... So, happy fall ya'all!

This is so cool, I just found this... go to http://www.colorstrology.com/ ... here is what it says for my birthday. I really do like the colors it chose for me!

Recently we decided to "go digital"! This has been quite a fun ride! I love what we are doing now! We have a design team now! A whole bunch of graphic designers who are designing digital scrapbook kits and selling them at www.deco-pages.com! I love working with the designers! They are all very talented! We also have a writer who has joined our team, and she is the greatest! I am so excited about this new venture! We have a wonderful gallery where you will find ideas on how to use the elements and backgrounds in the kits, and we also have a tutorials and tips section.

We have lots of plans for the site. More changes to come, including a message board and maybe even a chat room... lots of great stuff to come!
