My Latest Creative Project















Every beach I visited in Florida I collected seashells. I have never fancied them much before this trip, but there were so many beautiful shells all over every beach I couldn't resist taking a free souvenir. Besides, it was a great distraction from my thoughts at the time. I decided to make some picture frames with them and here's what I ended up with tonight. The three are actually photo albums and the big white one is a frame. They turned out rather nice I think. I don't have pictures in them yet, that's tomorrow's errand to get them developed. I still have lots of shells left over. I think I went a little overboard with my collecting.

Websites Worth a Little Time

I have come across some cool websites and wanted to share. The first one is: http://www.gigoit.org/. It stands for Garbage In Garbage Out It. It is a website where you enter your zip code and see what people are giving away. There wasn't much in Las Vegas, but I thought it would be cool to get it out there so people can start using it and recycling some things that they don't need anymore. Kinda neat I think...



Next is http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/. This one is a funny site where you can read some outrageous "notes" or post your own little passive aggressive gripe. It has some pretty funny things that people have posted. It seems like there are lots of people only willing to gripe if it's indirect and passive. Pretty funny stuff...



My player on my blog comes from a cool site called www.playlist.com. You can click on it on my page and it takes you right to the site. I like it because you can create a playlist with 100 songs and link it to your blog, myspace, or facebook. It doesn't cost anything so me and millions of others may be in trouble... not sure how that works? Give it a try. You too could be in the next lawsuit...



Speaking of lawsuits, we went to Nordstroms, but they had already given away all the free products. I can't believe they had to give away $125 million dollars worth of cosmetics. We were too late :( Apparently every Asian tourist was lined up around the store getting the handouts. Unbelievable!!





OK- back to websites. This next one is another fun shirt site- http://www.snorgtees.com/. You have to have a sense of humor to like these shirts. Some are funny and some are just stupid... Something for everyone.

Here are two sites I found looking through a magazine with cute things- www.bungalowco.com and www.seejanework.com.

Alrighty- gotta go work out now. I'll post some blogs next time.
