Produce, Project and Pinks

For some reason, I have found my self overwhelmed with "To Do" lists! I seems that I keep thinking of all of these things I need to do. Maybe it is the touch of Spring in the air & I am wanting to get some things aired out, cleaned out and a fresh start. I have been doing my walking almost every morning, 4 miles. Not today. Today, Hubby is off & Dane is out of school, because we are making a road trip (another one!) to Mobile. The TV show "Pinks", where they race for the pink slips to their cars, is in Mobile, Alabama this weekend filming. Hubby's best friend that re-built the motor for the Camaro has a drag car that he is taking so we are going to check it out! I wanted to make a quick post before we head out. And that's why I didn't walk this morning. But yesterday was a great day to walk, because the track is around the local Farmers Market (being the metropolitan city that it is, there is only one couple who is set up! ) But they have some really great produce. And I know you can not taste it by the picture, but the strawberries were so sweet! And tomatoes were firm yet juicy. Yum!

I have been working on getting my craft room aka Studio organized to where at least I can get in there and work on something. It's still going to take awhile. But I did get my book journal for 2009 completed. I love reading and like to have a little book where I can write a review of the book and other little tidbits of information. I belong to a wonderful on-line group that is part of Shelfari where someone picks a tag each month and each of us tries to read at least one book that falls under that tag. This month the tag is "History". So far, I have finished two books and have a third checked out from the library.

So now I have a pretty book to write about all the books that I read. So people wonder why I write in the journal since you can write your reviews on Shelfari, but there is just something about taking the pen to paper. Plus I write other private things, like quotes that I like or some piece of information that I want to remember.

You can't tell from the picture, but I used an old dictionary to wrap around the spine of the book. Then just bits and picees of various papers to cover the end pages. I'm still working on the inside cover, but I love this picture of the bird with the fruit. The Bible verse is from an old Daily Guidepost.

I will be taking the camera and videocamera with us to the race track. Hopefully, I will have some fun stuff to show you! Have a good Friday the 13th! I'll be back on Sunday!
