...but I have absolutely no idea what I've done or where they are!
A very dear friend sent me this the other day thinking that I could relate to it. I have no idea WHERE she came up with that idea! Bev! Bev!!! If you're listening, it's our song! =D
My forgetter's getting better,
But my rememberer is broke
To you that may seem funny
But, to me, that is no joke
For when I'm 'here' I'm wondering
If I really should be 'there'
And, when I try to think it through,
I haven't got a prayer!
Oft times I walk into a room,
Say 'what am I here for?'
I wrack my brain, but all in vain!
A zero, is my score.
At times I put something away
Where it is safe, but, Gee!
The person it is safest from
Is, generally, me!
When shopping I may see someone,
Say 'Hi' and have a chat,
Then, when the person walks away
I ask myself, 'who the hell was that?'
Yes, my forgetter's getting better
While my rememberer is broke,
And it's driving me plumb crazy
And that isn't any joke.
Anyway, never a truer word has been spoken regarding my.... Now where was I?
Oh Yes! Layouts. I think these are reveal-able.
January's Product Pick at Scrapbooks etc.
and this was a double paged Sketched! for January at Scrapbooks etc.
I used this same paper line for my Eddies layout. Although it's not patterned paper that I would normally glean inspiration from, I really like the line.
I have been busy with a couple of scrapping commitments but I'm not allowed to show you.
Here is yesterday's contribution to Project 365.
Taken with my camera at knee level and pointing up. It is a windmill fashioned from a pump. It's sole purpose is to tell us in which direction the wind is blowing. Simply FASCINATING piece of technology. I know you're all glued to your seats! It's all nice and rusty and squeaky and very interesting to photograph.
Without it we could have the neighbours abusing us because it effectively tells us when it's a good time to light a bonfire.
SO!!! The birthday hint/instruction has been dropped. The website address has been plonked into his lap. Explicit instructions as to which lens he should get. Now all I have to do is look surprised!
Love the layouts, the one of the tree is so pretty. Love all the colors in it.
My forgetter gets better all the time too. Kind of scary.
You are so subtle. lol

Love Love Love these Layouts!
I wouldn't laugh or make fun of you when you have THOSE moments...NOT. by the way have you found your glass's yet?
At least you remembered when your birthday is! xx

Love the layouts. Love all the elements. Love the Fa La La letters. Very yummy.
I really like that double, too. There you go again making a nice double when you're a double disliker!

Yes!!! Yess!!!! Yesss!!! I have found my glasses! They were stashed deep, deep, deep in my sock drawer. If one wore socks in summer one would have definitely found them sooner! One even remembers putting them there for safe keeping. =D

Now Lynette hooray that you found your glasses but more the question is why would you need to tuck them in a sock drawer for safe keeping? I love the fa la la line...nice work using all that product!
Hope he got your very subtle hints...I mean maybe you really should have been more specific and clear.

LOL, that's lucky you found your glasses before next Winter. Who would have thought to look in the sock drawer.
Lovin' the layouts! Gorgeous clustering on the LHS of the double :)

Ha! your sock drawer! oh yes of course, thats where one keeps their glasses. Gosh I'm glad we're really NOT related or I'd be scared! xx
Posted by: Sherryn | 22 January 2009 at 02:10 PM
Ha! Me too but for totally different reasons! =O
Posted by: Lynette van Barrelo | 22 January 2009 at 02:30 PM
Haaaaaaa!! I so-o-o totally relate to that poem, I think I probably wrote it but I can't remember :D
Thanks for sharing LOL
Love the windmill photo. You're so good! xxx

Is it even fathomable for you to make a 'so-so' layout? I'm always picking my jaw up off the floor after visiting you and Kendra's sites!
