Been scrapping today…I think my mojo is still in Italy, but it's been fun.

I took 800 pictures in Rome…if you're interested in seeing any of them, I uploaded 210 of them in the Rome 2008 photo album (in the sidebar to the left). I know it's hecka boring to look at people's vacation photos…so they're there for friends & family who have asked to see 'em. 🙂

Ciao friends…yes, I've been AWOL, because we have been cavorting on the other side of the world:

We got in late last night & my to-do list could wrap around my house twice, so I'll be back with more later. :) I set up my Poppy projects to post while I was gone, but it didn't work…hence the blank, curious post. LOL! The layouts didn't upload here well…click on 'em to see them clearer.

I forgot to post my Amelie page…probably b/c it’s not really my style and I struggled with it. We had to do a page with a "whimsical element"….and I’m not exactly an expert on whimsy in scrapping. Alas, this was the strange result…a paper-pieced monster:

• Donovan’s…an etsy shop for the office supply lover in you.
• The cutest acorns you ever did see.
• Peacock letterpress cards and other sundries.
• Tag, you’re it.

Doodle by Lee. The code for this doodle and other doodles you can use on your blog can be found at Doodles.

anywhere else on the internet? If so, please read THIS post by artist Claudine Hellmuth. There are two bills coming up in the House & Senate that will change copyright laws and allow companies to use your photographs without your permission. There’s an easy link in her post that will let you write a letter to your local congressmen/women…it only takes a couple of minutes.

Trying to get my scrap on today…

and I’m in a creative and emotional slump. So let’s share a bit of linky-love today…
