Stick a fork in me, I'm done.

Stick a fork in me, I'm done.

Really, I have NO idea what to say. I haven't blogged the last few days because I have been crazy busy at work and by the time I get home I don't want anything to do with a computer - the curse of a 40 hour a week desk job in which you are chained to your PC. Sigh.

Okay, 'nough whining. I'll show you some scrappies I worked on recently and then tell ya about a couple more movies I've watched (told ya I've been fried). Here is a fun little layout I did about my inlaws and a card I made from the scraps. And yes, I'm aware of the spelling error, but it's stamped in ink and everything is already glued down. Whoops!

We watched yet ANOTHER side of the Nazis & WWII story in Defiance.
It is an EXCELLENT movie and it tells one side of the Jews side of the story... and not one I recall learning about in school. It takes place in the woods in 1941, where a growing number of Jews are escaping the mass slaughter and finding refuge in the forest. They go from simply trying to survive to growing in numbers and fighting for their freedom. A FANTASTIC movie and I highly recommend it. Defiance along with Valkerkie and Band of Brothers has been an eye-opening history lesson for me - and much more effective then whatever I can no longer remember learning in school...

I almost got Defiance when I went to Blockbuster the other day, but passed it up thinking I wouldn't like it. I will have to get it next time I am in. Have you seen New in Town with Renee Zellweger (or hwever you spell it) yet??? It is so good! I would highly recommend it!

Lovely layout and that card is so yummy! I HAVE yet to borrow Defiance on Netflix. Just finished watching New In Town...and it's a feel good movie esp. when you're sick. Scrapbooking is on it!

The radio DJ was talking about this movie this morning and said it was excellent. From his description it reminded me of the book Hansel and Gretel (not the story tale). Good book.

Your layout and card are spectacular! Truly!
