I am finding that between planning my best friends wedding showers/bachelorette parties, yard work, house work, regular (paying) work and making time for my dogs I am getting less and less time to stamp and create lately. Also doesnt help that my craft room got disorganized when I tried to combine it with the office since I took over all the bill paying.<br /><br />So, as I take a little break from my patients I will just make quick little notes to let everyone know I am alive.<br /><br />I AM ALIVE.<br /><br />I couldnt sleep when I got home yesterday morning so I was very busy with stuff all day to try and make myself tired. I ran errands, worked on planning, mowed the lawn, raked the lawn, washed my car, did some laundry etc....wait a minute I am making myself tire now, just thinking about it. I should sleep good when I get home in the morning though. Two days without sleep usually lends to a short nap at least. Obviously I am a little loopy since I am rambling about nothing.<br /><br />Ok I will spare you all.<br /><br />LOTS OF LOVE TO THOSE I LOVE</span>Aurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15040931448195192701noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301998104854450172.post-14043534932704583442008-05-26T13:51:00.000-07:002008-11-15T00:07:14.916-08:00notimetostamp challenge<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheG0pOQFNRP9ZS2-SeRF_g4QxCTQunCw1SZDo12MGTurP2rEFRoraFVBLaSUvwa6YYKnFmnqpZaJgBaHHrJQA5l_aOlJJcyDRq2K_tjqLDwr3yOsomo1JQcio8tZcWv8TyZnSurgkc3kQA/s1600-h/IMG_1978%5B1%5D"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheG0pOQFNRP9ZS2-SeRF_g4QxCTQunCw1SZDo12MGTurP2rEFRoraFVBLaSUvwa6YYKnFmnqpZaJgBaHHrJQA5l_aOlJJcyDRq2K_tjqLDwr3yOsomo1JQcio8tZcWv8TyZnSurgkc3kQA/s200/IMG_1978%5B1%5D" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204792684878286402" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This card is for "Bug" ie Krista my brother-in-laws girlfriend.

They were running around the yard crazy like and rolling in the grass trying to get all their good smell off. We were working in the back yard, tilling and leveling so we could lay sod later that day. I turned around and noticed Axel and Zeus had stopped running around.

I took my mat and went to a special spot I love on the water. The river is down so I went out to the very point near the water. (The way the water runs by and the distance you are from the true shore is quite a long way so it feels like you are in the middle of the river. I set up and ran through some of my favorite Sun Salutations. Then I started into my Asanas. Balance poses were true bliss and my state of Zen was reached in no time. I really felt refreshed and after the week I have had, I really needed some refueling. <br /><br /><br />Just to share some of my yogi thoughts with those who need a little inner cleansing.<br /><br />The 8 Limbs of Yoga<br />Yama- Eithical practice of right living: truthfulness<br />Niyama-Personal practices to be observed: contentment, and passion.<br />Asanas- Yoga postures: steady and joyful.<br />Pranamaya- Yogic breathing: Regulation and refinement<br />Pratyahara- Drawing in the senses from the external world.<br />Dharana-Uninterrupted concentration: focused and steadfast.<br />Dhyana- Meditation: encompassing and contemplating.<br />Samadhi- Transcending state.<br /><br /><br />5 Koshas<br />Annamaya = Matter: physical being<br />Pranamaya = Vital Air: breath<br />Manamaya = Mind: thoughts and focus<br />Vijnanamaya = Ego and Intellect<br />Anandamaya = BlissAurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15040931448195192701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301998104854450172.post-16136530156352422672008-05-08T01:43:00.000-07:002008-11-15T00:07:16.749-08:00Dogs will be Dogs<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyW8z73TPoIPOTDTBjVAr_hh8AhBBlEN-tD_J3BlW56cpBOqn2utRyB_B4dOw-XayP6l1QYaO5wRQXjAcBGSXNd8lqgVFIlcgnjq738mER0CxYl-LbQNVC74kYfplBCnFm94dQKVNNgthq/s1600-h/IMG_1936%5B1%5D"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyW8z73TPoIPOTDTBjVAr_hh8AhBBlEN-tD_J3BlW56cpBOqn2utRyB_B4dOw-XayP6l1QYaO5wRQXjAcBGSXNd8lqgVFIlcgnjq738mER0CxYl-LbQNVC74kYfplBCnFm94dQKVNNgthq/s320/IMG_1936%5B1%5D" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197925469166312530" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I absolutely love the area where we live. Sun, water, snow.....what more could you want. Mike and I took the dogs for a swim the other day and Axel (the pointer) loves the water and you can hardly keep him out of it. Zeus on the other hand, hasn't quite fallen in love with it yet. He wades in about knee deep and waits for Axel to bring the stick back to shore then proceeds to try and take it from him.....hilarious. While Axel is taking his victory lap, Zeus is happier than a clam thinking he is helping.Aurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15040931448195192701noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301998104854450172.post-24692298777614851102008-04-29T03:01:00.001-07:002008-11-15T00:07:16.863-08:00papertakeweekly challenge<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSasq4xKBI68y2i0ygkI6s5Fb-k3Vqx4uZTGaxuC1wzKr7CZ_zyxkvjw1dZHLi2FaKLGE-l-5_w6P_fXdCzrNAuaXAU4M0lsHBBu0ebmDIrNrj5LEmNEUhcttbv6DKXjeHZhDIy5XWZooI/s1600-h/IMG_1923%5B1%5D"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSasq4xKBI68y2i0ygkI6s5Fb-k3Vqx4uZTGaxuC1wzKr7CZ_zyxkvjw1dZHLi2FaKLGE-l-5_w6P_fXdCzrNAuaXAU4M0lsHBBu0ebmDIrNrj5LEmNEUhcttbv6DKXjeHZhDIy5XWZooI/s320/IMG_1923%5B1%5D" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194605727622779810" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This card challenge was all about embossing.

We are surprising her this evening with a small dinner party at a local "posh" Italian restaurant. I was going to go all black for her card, but I couldn't resist putting a little color in.

The challenge was "all things glitter" I usually like al ot of bling on my cards so this wasn't too hard!! I loved doing this card.<br /><br />I used black card stock and embossed it with a cuttlebug folder. I then layered a black and white print paper from DCWV. I then layered shimmer lilac card stock over then with white card stock stamped with a daisy/swirl background stamp (from Great Impressions) in violet from colorbox. I tied a great polkadot ribbon around the top two layers and atached those with dimensionals. I stamped three images from Denami Designs onto the shimmer card stock and cute them out which I also attached with dimensionals. I then used a great little tag stamp from SU for the final sentiment. I had a lot of fun with this one.Aurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15040931448195192701noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301998104854450172.post-51479293050344970292008-04-15T17:10:00.000-07:002008-11-15T00:07:20.784-08:00Cute Card Thursday Challenge<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj917N4V6_D6SOoU9KSNjgHNgWNHdN2oLWCp1gcF4hD0h4G9y2JU4ekM38OwcteIr_NOjjCQRmOzjEU0tiBEMPJnWadt_Fk6ddlXYU46GISMXE32uwh6ziNgabLcHnCaABonvmc7jxc8cMb/s1600-h/IMG_1890%5B1%5D"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj917N4V6_D6SOoU9KSNjgHNgWNHdN2oLWCp1gcF4hD0h4G9y2JU4ekM38OwcteIr_NOjjCQRmOzjEU0tiBEMPJnWadt_Fk6ddlXYU46GISMXE32uwh6ziNgabLcHnCaABonvmc7jxc8cMb/s200/IMG_1890%5B1%5D" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189629631306699954" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This is for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge.
