A Smoky Day

We had a very smoky day here. One of the waterfront mansions caught on fire this morning and as of ten o'clock tonight the firefighters were still fighting hot spots. That's after a day of trying to control the flames from the ground and from the fire boats on the water. The house was built in 1925 and looked like a castle with turrets, iron gates, a drawbridge and even a moat. It was very unique and looked out of place so lots of locals didn't like it and called it "an eyesore".

So far they don't know what started the fire, but the house has been sitting empty for awhile now. It's a prime piece of property on the water with neighbors like Calvin Klein.

I guess not spending the day with my friends was a good thing because I actually got a lot done! I wonder how long this bout of energy will last? LOL!

I've had the Rainbow Connection Kit by Carol's Digiscrap Creations for a long time now and I pulled it out to play with tonight. I used some pictures of my friend's daughter and made this layout...



This kit is great and has so many different colors and elements in it that it can be used for all kinds of pictures. It's also on sell now for 30% off in Carol's Store at Cool Scraps Digital

Freedom

So, I was planning on spending the afternoon with my friends going to lunch and a movie, but I slept so late that I was still in bed when they knocked on the door. LOL! That's what I get for staying up so late.

I haven't wasted my time though I've been playing with April's Freedom kit. I extracted and duplicated the fireworks from a picture to make this layout...



Remember that all of April's kits are on sale for 50% off at Scrap It Sassy for the rest of the month!

Lunch with the girls was fun today even though Susan brought her 21 year old daughter that referred to all of us as "old ladies". LOL! I've even got left over cheesecake for tomorrow.

Layout or Sales Ad?

OK, so in my head, this layout looked really good, but for some reason I just couldn't get it to translate from my mind to the paper. LOL! I used Deanna's Surf City Kit again and I think this came out looking like a sales ad. LOL! Now, here's the question---what is it trying to sell? Cars? Vacation spots? Something else all together? Your guess is as good as mine, but I think I would like to buy some of it. LOL!



I've been working on a CD case calendar for the son of a friend of mine with a rock and roll theme. He's 12 years old and if you ask him who his favorite bands are he'll say Bon Jovi and Three Dog Night. I love this kid! I'll share what the calendar looks like when I'm finished.

Tomorrow I'm meeting a couple of the girls from work at The Cheesecake Factory for lunch. YUMMY! There will be dessert! LOL!

I'm going to bed now. Enjoy your day!
