I just got an email requesting a paper layout for Scrapbook Trends May issue!! I am so so so excited I just can’t get over it!  My cup is running over and I am energized to work on even more projects for submission!  On Sunday, I also received a copy of the Church Calendar that I made about a month ago.  It’s fun and exciting to see my pictures in a calendar that will be in someone’s home *(other than a family member’s house, hee hee!)

I am going to start doing photo sessions for some friends soon and I am also excited about that.  I love doing creative things, it fills my heart with happiness!

I got this sweet blog award from my vertically blessed scrapper pal, Erica and also from Tammi, who also lives here in Hawaii! (sorry it’s taken me such a long time tammi!)

I would like to pass on some blog love to  KJ, Noel, Ali D, Stephanie, Revlie

by the way, in case you were wondering about this picture, it’s a petal from a flower blown up to my living room window and rain pouring down the pane.

In blog news, I am excited to finally be able to do my own database backups and have upgraded to WordPress 2.7! I am thrilled that the flash uploader for the photos is working again, and it just looks pretty all around. YAY! :)  Are you happy with your blog provider? WordPress has a lot to offer, and it’s not as scary and overly technical as I thought it might be.  I have been really happy with my WP blog.

My Google phone is working and I am loving it!  I can tweet, read email, use gps to figure out where I’m going (or where I am).  The camera on the phone is sadly lacking, but then again, that’s why I’m always carrying my canon with me, right?

we went out looking at Christmas lights a few nights ago and I got a few really cool bokeh shots of the lights, inspired by Vee.  Troy looked at the camera and was like, hey that’s really blurry, yep, that was the look I was going for…

this was on Hickam AFB the freedom tower… I’m hoping we’ll get to go downtown to the city lights tomorrow :)

Sending out my Christmas love to you all…..

Blog you later,

Joscie, rhymes with bossy!

    Congratulations again to you, Joscie! You and Kim are on a roll… You’re way better than some of the others I see in the scrapbook magazines, so let them see your stuff and you’ll be published more, I’m sure! I love that photo of the lights. We’re trying to take in all the fun free activities here we can. Even just a walk around the neighborhood, looking at the festive decorations is enjoyable!!!
