What do you think about this awesome Wisconsin weather we’re having?  Last night we were invited over to our neighbors for the first bonfire of the year! WOW! Here it is, March 18th, and we’re sitting outside visiting while the kids run in the dark and dance by flashlight!  Feels like New Mexico weather.  Do you think its too early to plant my garden?  (wink)

The kids are on Spring break this week.  We have a few day trips planned and I it did cross my mind to pack them up and take off to North Dakota to visit family… but have you seen the price of gas?  I can’t believe its $3.89 here in Eau Claire! I filled up in Maplewood on Friday at Costco and that was $3.58!! HUGE difference!

Question for you….raise your hand if you’re the family historian.  Well….I’m mine.  I appointed myself to this job when I was 15 years old and took up scrapbooking in the late 80′s. I think this job is both a blessing and a curse. My grandfather was a huge picture taker and I have plenty of photographic evidence to show that the people who matter most to me, did live a full, happy and blessed life.  I, however, struggle to keep things organized. I’m sure you can relate in some way.  I’m trying to figure out a way to get organized and stay organized when dealing with photos from the distant past to present day with my own family.  I’ll let you know what I figure out when I actually do.

I use to be a HUGE scrapbooker!  I first started out in the  traditional way with paper, glue stick, stickers and scissors….but then I evolved to digital scrapbooking.  WOW! Talk about easy, efficient and no mess to clean up! I haven’t scrapbooked in years, which makes me a bit sad. So this morning before I got started with work I promised myself I would scrapbook something from the past.  Baby-steps right?

Happy to say I completed my assignment so I wanted to share.

The image below is of my grandparents holding my mother in November of 1943.

How are you preserving your images for your family to enjoy?

We don’t watch any mainstream TV in our home. Having said that, I really wanted to see Madonna’s halftime performance and I read that the Super Bowl was being streamed live online. Cool beans! So…I set my laptop up in the kitchen and tuned in.  Now…I have no idea why they chose NOT to air/stream the halftime show?!!  What the heck?!!!  I completely missed the show!  Talk about huge bummer for me!

First thing over morning coffee I searched YouTube for the segment and there it was!  TA DAHHHHH! Madonna in all her glory!  She looked amazing!! AND opening with her Vogue song took me back to 1991!!! Loved. Loved. Loved it all!!

In case you missed it….here it is!

OK. OK. I’ll admit it.  I think I have a purse fetish! But…I’m not talking Coach or Louis Vuitton handbags….I’m talkin’ camera purses!

Since the beginning of this year (yes, I know it’s only Feb!) I’ve ordered two new camera purses!  NOW my girlfriend Rowe, her  mum (she’s Australian) has launched her own camera purse company called 3 Annies just this week!  I’m so excited to see what designs/colors she comes up with.  There is one example on her FB page and of course there will be more to come!  If you’re like me and carry around your DSLR every where you go and tired of carrying around two bags.. check into purchasing a camera purse and leave the nasty black camera bag behind.

Don’t you just LOVE this color bag??!!

I think I need to add more color to my world.  I only purchased grey and black purses.  hmmmm……

Now….go investigate getting a new camera purse and let me know which one you decide on.

All for now!
