Tomorrow it's October

The rain has stopped for about the first time in a week, and I'm wondering how long the sun will last. I guess that's life in Oregon...although I'm not really feeling an expert on that. Every time I go outside I'm still shocked that there are so many trees. And they are so green. The grass, not surprisingly, is also green and about as tall as me. Amazing what water can do.

My new smartphone/photography habits/life is confusing my once solid photo editing/uploading process. It was a bit easier to keep track of things when my camera wasn't automatically uploading things to the internet for me. Now I'm confused about when to tag things, when to upload them and where to upload them...If anyone has any tips on organizing camera phone photos, I'm all ears.

Now at least I can instantly upload photos of my tea cup. Dream come true.

Did I mention that we have a new animal friend? His name is Simon and he's a friendly grump.

Here is the friendly grump keeping me comfortable as I sit in my new craft closet trying out a new hobby (art journaling). The jury is still out on if I will become a success.

Also, perhaps my biggest accomplishment since coming back to the States is that I run around now, literally, which is something of a miracle. This morning I ran 2.5 miles, in the rain. In a million years, that's not something I thought I'd do. Does that even sound fun? At least I have hot pink shoelaces.

There are so many big and exciting things coming up at DigitalScrapbook.com this month, I can't even keep them all straight. Tomorrow we start our big Layout Challenge month. I'm super excited about this. I've committed to making 21 layouts myself, and I can hardly wait. It's been a long time since I've worked regularly at making layouts and I can hardly wait to get back to it. I've got tons of super fun prompts coming, so make your goal and join us!

Later this week DigitalScrapbook.com will celebrate it's first birthday! And we're going to party! Stay tuned. Also, we'll be announcing our FOURTH designer. Can hardly wait for that one too!
