St. Louis Photographer » A Journal by Holly McCaig

So, I’ve been testing out how to get my images to break down on new lines. I hate that when they run together!!!

Any way, I am not sure I “love” the way I’m doing it but it works. That’s Jake and his new Jeep. Today we went out to Lone Elk State Park out by our house (crazy I know to live so close). Saw Elk and rode in this thing. I’m a little sunburned. As is Jake. But it was fun – and hot. Glad it’s not mine! No air conditioning! Well, poor kiddo bought the low end model since it was what he could afford at 18 years old. He loves it.

Bought this new kit - isn’t it great? There’s an element pack too. Amber is so stinkin’ sweet and I love her work. She doesn’t do enough of it!!! LOL

Um, played some with the Sizzix tonight and I want a new die-cut set. My friend, the uber fun Leslie is on the Quickutz design team and her samples are so cute. I am ready to buy!!!!! I’m getting this:

Way cute, right?

Ummmmmm – let’s see…we’ve got Father’s Day goodies coming soon to the shoppe and I think there was something about me and KristyAnn working on something new and fun. Hmmmm, wonder what that is?

Okay, going to craft some and want to show you the purse album I made from the April CK mag – too cute. Will shoot that when I’m done. Later!

All’s quiet on the net it appears. Everyone is coming down off a long weekend.

I worked. Bah!

Jake bought his first car today – well, not his first car, but first car to buy. It’s a 2001 Jeep Wrangler. He likes it. It’s hard as hell to get into the backseat and I HATE the windy side. But he likes it and that’s what matters. We hope to get some photos of it but weather is going to get bad it looks like so not sure when.

Barb’s post on my funkiness really made me laugh. She pointed me to this site. I LAUGHED SOOOO HARD! Oh Barb thank you for the best laugh!!!!!!

Crabby Patty alert!

I’m in a FUNK today folks. Big time! Maybe I’m irritated with working on a holiday weekend. Maybe I am overwhelmed with working more hours than I really want these days. My business is being pushed to the backburner. Maybe I’m mad because my brother doesn’t want to take care of this dog and he poops in his pen. We just got in a fight over it. Maybe it’s just too damned hot outside. Maybe its the little things like nasty smokers that talk right in my face or the fact that our neighborhood roads are under construction and I have to wait a lot. Or it could just be PMS. I don’t know. I’m in a funk.

So, here I am trying to unwind so I can get to sleep because I have to work early tomorrow. Did I mention that I hate mornings? I function better at night. So creative thoughts are processing through my mind and I can’t act on them now.

I didn’t get to see my cousin who was in town from Philadelphia. I really wanted to see him and share our photography interests. I’ve had to work so I missed the family dinner this afternoon.

I hate being in these funks. I really do.

P.S. Thanks Vicky for reminding me about Big Love next week.
P.S.S. Congrats to Dani, Audrey and Kim for moving on to the final 7 in Ultimate!!!! YOU GO Fairy Chicks!!!!

Hey all! Thanks for taking my weekly poll! It’s fun to see how big this community really is!!!! Keep voting!

So, since I am NOT quite finished with Inspirations Collection2 – I will be Sunday night – I have decided to offer a blog coupon. 15% off my designs (excluding collaborative kits and chickie quickies as well as other designer’s work not my own there). So, go shop Sunday and Monday!

The code is: 06-memorial

I’ve got thank you cards to make so I gotta get crankin’! Hope you are all having a wonderful Memorial Weekend!!!

I think I’m going to do some little polls each week….just humor me!
