Wordless Wednesday

The answer...

My siblings:My sister Kim

My brothers Mike and Chris

(Yes! I am standing on the fireplace!)

I apparently didn't get ANY of the tall gene!

What the heck!

Hello..Hello is anyone there?

I may have under estimated this whole Project 365.

I never, NEVER, never thought Project 365 would

be so...

CONSUMING!

I didn't mean to let this blog fall to the curb.

I will try to be better in 2011.

Key word: try

Without further ado...

Christmas in Idaho 2010

Can you guess which are my siblings?

Hint: I have 3 in this photo collage..

Sketchy Thursday 9.02

I'm back with another GREAT Sketchy Thursday Sketch:

Sketch 9.02

Here is my take on the sketch (Pre-Grape AMP):

I'll be back soon with another layout soon..

Lessons learned this weekend...

How was your three day weekend? Mine was good! I learned a lot this weekend. Friday night I learned that it is not always good to drink a full can of Grape AMP while scrapping. I unfortunately learned it makes me SUPER giggly and maybe slightly stupid and possible not as productive as I thought I was. Another point in case: I am driving home from crop when I notice the car next to me. I look over and see a girl staring at me. I think to myself, 'You want to race me?' (What the heck?) In case anyone was wondering this went on the whole way home and I won every challenge not to mention I was up till well after 2 in the morning. Lesson Learned: Grape Amp may be my personal kryponite. I'm just saying.

Saturday Lesson: I learned after putting eye drops into Dave's eyes that the product should be called 'B----y Sting drops' not Clear Eyes.

Sunday's Lesson: When the rocky road fudge you bought in Tombstone the day before goes missing my hubby may have eaten it. hmmm..

Monday's Lesson: I am not a Monday person and I should have every Monday off to deal with it.

Tomorrow I will be back with the latest Sketchy Thursday Sketch! Don't worry it was pre-AMP..

Big News!

I have decided to participate with a friend in what I like to call torture 365! No, Just kidding! I have agreed and will be taking part in project 365 'take a picture a day for a year', no really I agreed to it. I have started another blog for just this project. I hope you will stop by once in awhile and leave me a comment.. Encourage me to keep shuttering away and even give me some critique too! You can find me at Project 365. Don't worry though, I will still be posting at Truely Amber with scrapbook pages, everyday life and whatever else tickles my fancy.. Yeah I said it!

So without further ado, I have another layout to share with you. The layout is based around an old Sketchy Thursday layout. I never got to post it because I couldn't decide on a title. Right? It's not like the title I used was difficult! Oh well, maybe next time I should just go with the obvious!

Friends

I told you I'd be back.

This is a layout of my hubby and a childhood friend. Her nickname is 'Little Colleen' She was nice enough to drive from Virginia Beach to DC to site see with us. We had an amazing time and were able to see a lot with her. I love this photo of them in front of the Museum of American History.

Well I am off for now..

Sketchy Thursday 8.26

My layout:

See you tomorrow with another layout and possibly better lighting?
