“It is time for us to change….”

…so, is it going to Barack Obama….

That is the big question today, even in this part of the world. Me – I am all for Obama. If I had been an American Citizen I would have been voting with the democratic party. And – I think the world is ready for Obama.  I wish I had the day off tomorrow, but I have to go to bed and get ready for another day at work. So I have to wait until the morning to see if the next president in the USA answers the name Obama….

I started out working at one of Cathy`s sketches for week 5, but ended up working with Ashley Wren`s class @SIS. I could not resist combining the two of them so one of the pages in my workbook turned out like this:

Living and working in chaos….

Sometimes I think scrapbooking is the best excuse for living in a total mess.

Butterflies….

…and I made it through the first day of my new life. The first day eating healthy (diet) food is always hard. To pass the goodies on your path to have lunch….but I did okay. Not so lucky when I tried the monster step-machine. I had to give up after 10 minutes walking.  The first day back to work was okay. Good to be back in my every day routine.

I am still working on my vacation album, and I have made my September 8 page….and I am going to bed early. All good…

30 days hath September…

…I was so exited when I came down to the reception to log in this morning to read Stacy  Julian’s presentation for the third part of her Have more FUN class. I read her one hour long presentation and I love it. To get involved with life here and now….To scrapbook every day life one day at the time….for a whole month…. At first I wasn’t sure if I would do this, because I have done it before. But, so has Stacy…. I just have to think this through, maybe I want to do this another way.

This two last days have been so good. The weather, the temperature, the beach, the bar, the food, the company….just perfect. A vacation you just don’t want to end. It is a long time since we have been so blessed with perfect weather. Now it is almost over…just one more day left.

 I was the first one in the shower today, and I am spending some time in the reception waiting for Tormod and Kjellaug to get ready for dinner. I love the buffet and I have to do a serious weight program when I come home. …I am not so happy about that.

Another sunny day at Viva Bahia….

We had a hot day yesterday. Not too hot….just perfect for the beach. The good thing about the beaches of Majorca is the wind. Always a nice wind blowing over the beaches. That makes it perfect when you want to spend the day at the beach. I like it best at the beach in the late afternoon. That might not be the best time for tanning, but perfect when you want to have a good time.

We have only four days left and I am beginning to feel a little stressed about that. Always something more I want to do and never enough time….

My hand…, orignally uploaded by elinjanne.

I took Ashley Wren’s design school a few weeks back. She gave us a lot of requests and ideas of layouts. The first one was to make a print of our hand. I used mine on the cover page of my notebook. And I really needed that notebook. Ashley’s prompts gave a lot of ideas of pages to do. If I go into a dry spell.. all I have to do is go back to Ashley’s pdf.files and make a pick.
