So yesterday was a great day ...

... and I started it off by working in the Secret Garden.  WISH I had my camera - but then I wouldn't have gotten much done.

... and the sun was shining today (finally) and it wasn't *too* hot - beautiful

... and at one point in the afternoon, I looked around and all my little chickies were asleep:  the 2 ducks in their pen, the dog in the driveway, ds#1 taking a nap in his room, ds#2 on the couch ... and all was good in the world.

... and then to end the day, I got to host a Speed Scrap at JessicaSprague.com .  I've never done this before and I have to say - it.was.a.blast!   Hmmm - might be interesting to try this with traditional supplies - maybe not ... LOL!

I played along with the Speed Scrap and made this one with the following instructions given every 10 minutes (and then you get another hour and 15 minutes to post):

1. Use at least 2 photos that were taken outside!
2. Keep one photo in color and change at least one photo to black and white!
3. You can use any patterned paper at all, but one must have some yellow in it!
4. Use at least 5 stars somewhere on the layout!
5. Use some bling! (something shiny or with sparkle, sequins, glitter, sparkly button, rhinestone, etc)
6. Journal in a typewriter style font!
7. Make a title that uses multiple fonts!

Now I was lucky because I knew the instructions beforehand!  But I tried very hard not to get anything ready ahead of time. LOL!
