amidst all the political brouhaha

While I keep my eyes and ears on the presidential campaign this year, I'm still trying to get some scrapping done. I met up with a couple friends this past Saturday to scrap. We didn't stay nearly as long as I expected, so I didn't get much done. But I've worked a bit here and there since then, and have 3 LOs finished. woohoo!!

This first LO is based on a sketch from DYL (Design Your Life) online class. The subject was asymmetry. The sketch she created is a one pager - and is the basis for my G page. I flipped her sketch to create the M page. And of course the two LOs combined become a symmetrical LO. Isn't this fun?! lol

I had been planning on doing Greg/Marcia pages for a LONGGGG time. I've had that cool rockin' paper for at least a year, probably two. Greg helped me come up with some of the comparisons and helped choose photos for his page. The journaling:

YOU
love to motorcycle
want to travel the U.S.
play racquetball and golf
enjoy playing cards
like full-bodied red wines
prefer fruit pies
watch the news
are a practical realist

I
love to cruise
want to see the world
play volleyball
enjoy scrapbooking
like dark "chewy" beers
prefer chocolate desserts
watch sci-fi
am an imaginative idealist

This next one is all about the last bike, the one we got in Sept '07 and which is now toast. Greg spent many hours (and $$) adding accessories on the bike - for comfort, safety and just plain fun.

And the third LO is about the first Iron Butt ride we did. Ok... the only one I did. lol Greg has done several more. This particular ride, a special version of the "Saddle Sore" called the "Lake Michigan 1000," necessitates riding around Lake Michigan, for at least 1000 miles, in less than 24 hours. We did it in approx 18.5 hours. Why'd we do it? As we frequently say "Because we can."
