Looking back

I was looking back over some layouts I did this past year and came across this one. It just CRACKS me up. Look how serious she looks. I smile every time I look at this photo and think of her telling her brothers they had to listen to her because she was the queen now. I did this a couple of months ago and while I wasn't completely crazy about the layout, I'm crazy about her...she really does reign my world and she KNOWS it *sigh* I think I've created a monster.

What a ride

I just "fixed" some of the things that were irritating me about my KI Memories album. Some loose corners and a few frayed ribbons. I'm happy to say that it is all buttoned up and ready to be shipped. Being a finalist in this contest still feels like a dream and I couldn't be more thrilled I just wanted this so bad without even realizing how bad I did. You know how you try not to want something but you just can't help it. I am happy now. I've seen some AMAZING albums that were entered in this contest and I'm still scratching my head and shocked. After seeing all those gorgeous albums, I have no further expectations for this contest. I know I've come as far as possible and boxing up my album to ship it feels weird to me. I can't put my finger on it but it's a strange feeling. It will be nice when the album comes home and I see the idea book. So many people have said congratulations and wished me well. That my friends is the best part :)
