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!
