Exciting Stuff!!!







Last summer I had submitted layouts to this book, and they picked one up. The book was supposed to come out in December. I had finally decided that it wasn't going to happen, and that maybe my layout was lost. However, much to my surprise, this book came in the mail with my layout inside! (My layout was enclosed also:) The book is full of sketches, and then there are different layouts showing how different people interpreted them. It is pretty cool. I am looking forward to using it as a tool really soon:) I used the sketches last summer for submitting, and I loved all the results I came up with. I must say it was kind of a neat feeling to see my layout in print. It came on kind of a down day too, so that made it even better! Sorry for the sideways picture of the book, but I can't get it to post the right way for some reason. The pics are blurry too, I didn't realize that until I looked at them on my computer, so sorry about that as well!


Rachel and Rich are set to arrive at around 4:00 am. I am trying to stay up for a little while, then take a short nap, wake up when they get here, then nap again while they sleep. They left at around 11 this morning. She says lots of Red Bull and Diet Coke have been the key so far. I can't imagine that long of a drive!

Congratulations, Amy, I'm excited and happy for you! It's a great page, but what else would we expect from you. We'd love to see you the next time you travel this way!

Yay Amy! I think it's great that you tried out for this and completely wonderful that they picked your layout! Good job girl!

Hey girl, just wondering how you survived all of the rain yesterday. We had quite a bit in Springfield, but I heard there was a lot further south too. Is your dock still all flooded?
