First, the Love List!

• Yay! Just today I downloaded from iTunes the remaining album tracks to Jason Mraz’s new release “We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.” I had already purchased his last two EPs from this album and now own the deluxe collection. Since I pretty much want to marry this guy, I’ll assume that he wrote this album for me.
• Color is my thing. I love lots and lots and lots of color. And I sincerely love Rhonna Farrer. And by extension, I seriously adore her new paper pack, “Spring Vibe.” I have a series of weddings/wedding showers/graduations/birthday parties/baby showers to attend this summer, and I’m planning on making gift tags using the designs from this collection. I’ll share once I get a stash done.
• According to this Marital Rating Scale, I would fail as a wife. I would fail on a scale so embarrassing, I might as well not marry. According to this 1930’s marital scale, that is. Really? Who dresses for breakfast anymore? I eat breakfast in my pajammies until I’m forced out of them. That’s how I roll.

• I’ve seen a lot of knitting sites sharing patterns and designs of knit caps of cute animals. And when I was browsing through shanalogic.com, I saw this knit cap of a cute frog. To me, this cutie looks a lot like Keroppi – my favorite Sanrio character. I must get this hat. It will add to my cuteness.
• I hope cupcakes aren’t a fad yet. Cupcakes have been a popular design element in scrapbooking, from the releases I’ve seen from the past two CHA shows. So if you’re a fan of the look, visit the Tea & Cakes section of dotcomgiftshop.com. I have a friend who’ll I’ll be purchasing a gift for from this site because she’s such a cake-foodie.
• Who saw the Today show this morning? Who saw my once-upon-a-time husband Joey Mc Intyre performing with the rest of NKOTB? Eeeee!! My 6th grade self is so happy that they’re getting back together. I don’t know if I’ll get a chance to score tickets for their reunion concert, but I’m praying more than a few of my friends will get the hint that I want those tickets to be my birthday present.

NKTOB, baby!

Second, my database woes. I’ve been struggling with my database for this blog. It went caput on my last night and I struggled with it all night long. I was able to salvage everything, except the comments count. If you scroll through the previous posts (for the last 3 months, I think), it looks like I’ve lost all the comments you’ve left. They’re actually still there when you open up individual pages, but the count on the main page is gone. No worries. That’s not a deal breaker. I just love reading everyone’s comments, so I’m happy they’re still there.

But cross your fingers that this blog doesn’t pain me anymore. It’s a love-love relationship between us and I’ve got more design changes coming. Expect something new by the end of the month, a design more user-friendly, I hope.

Hugs to everyone and have a creative day!
