Woodpeckers, Swearing, and all those PDFs




I was walking with the sweet pup the other day and took a route that I haven't taken in a while.  I found this mostly dead :(  tree on the side of the road:


and upon closer look I saw this incredible pattern on the trunk ...


I pretty much thought this must be the work of a very hungry woodpecker ... but he was so NEAT about it ... lining his holes up in a line like that.

After looking up "woodpeckers pecking habits" online, I discovered that many woodpecker species peck in a straight line.


very, very cool!


I don't swear.  At least not out loud.  There may be a lot of swearing going on in my head ... but it doesn't make it to the mouth.  Today was an exception ... when I saw one of the Mercantile Kit projects from one of our lovely DT members ... I swore out loud!  Which is very strange because the swear meant "yowza", but it wasn't "yowza" that came out.  Yes - her projects are that good.

The entire team really ... oh man ... i could go on and on about them ... amazing talent really.  It's mighty humbling to be on a team with them ... and wicked inspiring for sure!


Does anybody else have a TON of scrapbooking PDFs on their hard drive?  And really ... are you reading them all?  I know I don't.  I download ... keep them on my desktop for a while to remind me to look at them ... and later move them to my "drop box" for later reading.  I should read my pdfs more, because I usually LOVE them when I do!

But the ones from Masterful Scrapbook Design I almost always read.  They are the perfect length for a quick read, written so well, and always seem to give me another way of looking at things.  Example:  this month's seminar is on Motifs, and Francine Clouden talks about creating a "personal motif".  Really interesting and a great idea.

that's all for now!

i think today is going to be a scrapping day for me!

hope you have a creative day too!

    Now for that swearing thing..I've heard you once or twice! ;) It is a rare happening though!

    PDFs, well...yeah...

    I'd love to scrap today, but one armed work lacks some things.
