Living My Dream

Love, Elsie Pages and Ally

I've been so busy lately with all my family in town - going to the beach every day and Legoland and all sorts of fun things. The night I met Ally for dinner, her boyfriend took these silly pictures to demonstrate our main difference (see if you can guess what it is!). I called Ally an Oompa Loompa which didn't go over very well - but I'm the Jolly Green Giant as you can see! I scrapped one photo of us using the Love, Elsie line called Lola sold at Hobby Lobby (http://www.hobbylobby.com/). I also made a page using the Love, Elsie line called Riley also sold at Hobby Lobby. This one is about my niece Jenny - isn't she... Read more →

AMERICAN IDOL ROCKED!!!

I don't think I've ever smiled as much as during this concert - it was just amazing! I was able to get my camera in and took 300 pictures using 1600 ISO. My Blake crush increased - he owned the show. That guy is the best performer ever and was even better in real life. Loved Phil - always thought he had the best voice and he was the most outgoing and confident on the stage. And surprisingly, I loved watching Sanjaya - he has so much charisma and personality on stage that I finally understood how he stayed around so long. Also loved the voices of Jordin, Doolittle and LaKisha - they were all three just amazing! Jordin was... Read more →

Two Fun Nights in a Row!

Tonight (leaving in 30 mins, better get ready NOW!) I'm going to the American Idol concert with my hubby at the Staples Center in LA - totally excited as I love that show and I have always wanted to see them on tour. Yeah! (Can I take pictures in there? Don't even know!) Then tomorrow night I get to take my good friend Ally Landy and her boyfriend and husband to dinner in Laguna Beach. They are visiting San Diego for the week, so I talked her into a night on the town with ME! Totally excited as usually my life is quite quiet and boring...will post pictures of my fun nights soon! And with family visiting from out of... Read more →

New Love, Elsie Zoe Pages

Here is the second line I got to work with - it is called Zoe and is one of the three new releases at CHA by Love, Elsie. It was really fun to work with as it is totally my colors. The line is about photography, art and scrapbooking, but I didn't really use it that way. Here are my four layouts - the first one is titled Sand CRABS (not craps) - I outlined the B after I photographed so it would show up better: Read more →

Love, Elsie Jack & Abby Pages

Living My Dream Explanation

I really don't know how to blog and don't have this entirely set up, but I did figure out how to add a nice little header bar! No side bars set up yet - so consider this "under construction"! I wanted to explain the blog title though (but why do I feel like I am talking to myself?). Does it eventually get comfortable typing stuff to no one and then having some one read it but you don't know who? Ugh! Living My Dream is my blog title as I am finally living my dream in life. It took me a long time to get here, but I love every day of my life now. I always wanted to be... Read more →

I Have Finally Decided to Blog!

This is just a test post to see if I can figure this whole typepad thing out - so far so good! I have never taken the time to blog, but I think it is time! Ok, long enough for my first post? Much More Later! Read more →
