Zion's National Monument

I've never liked scrapbooking. I could never really get into all the cutting, pasting, and spending so much money for one page. Not to mention, who would really want to look at all my creative die cuts? 

Good news. I didn't cut out a single picture or die (cut). Now humor me and allow me to introduce you to Zion's National Monument. I know that it looks like some postcards you may have seen but it's not. It is truly magnificent. Photos can not do it justice.

First, let's get this one out of the way. This is called "Chimney Rock." The circle indicates where the mountain climber is. S/he is the one highest on the mountain. Directly below are two more. Apparently, the point is to reach the top and sleep in a hammock. They will not summit (verb) before nightfall. They will be sleeping on the cliff face.
This is a wild turkey hen. They are all over the park.
This is just a really good looking family I saw on one of the hikes. 


Ever notice that cameras make you look different than what you imagine yourself to look like?
This is how you know it was a successful trip

    So glad that someone else out there doesn't like to scrapbook. Solidarity sister!

    Your trip looks great. I love Zions.

    I LOVE scrapbooking and want more die cuts since I used a machine last night to try out. Can we still be friends?

    If by "scrapbooking" you mean jamming photos into an overflowing file box since my kid was born, then I'm really into scrapbooking.

    Beautiful family and giant rock thingies. (Are you really shrimpy or is Mr. Taylor a giant?)

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...

Wordful Wednesday and Clever Much? Rarely!

Sometimes my brilliance blinds me! Speaking of brilliance, before we continue this discussion, if you are my mother in law, stop reading. Walk away. At least until after Christmas. Seriously. My own mother doesn't read my blog. I think it has something to do with words like "socially awkward" and "mortifying." She knows me. She doesn't have to read about me. She can just pretend like I turned out normal. Anyway, if the mother-in-law has exited the website, check out what she's getting for Christmas! TADA! I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
