"Olive Dot" Book Album, one available here :]

A few pictures from my day out yesterday... and a little video...

just a quick one...

Today's fieldtrip day... going to my supply store, apply for a few jobs, lunch with Keithcake, need to pickup a new lipring, do shipping, and hopefully some thrifting :] Here's some photos from the weekend :) Made more button buttons :] I'm doing a handmotion movie quote from Point Break and Starsky & Hutch. Gotta go! Happy Monday! ps. I made 2 new book albums; they'll be in the shop tomorrow :]

"wonder what you're dooooin"

I made some money (i still don't have a real job, but this week, FN earned 2weeks worth of salary. woah nelly cool!) so I got some new music/itunes! Here's what I got... Albums: Jeremy Larson - Salvation Club She&Him - Volume One Nick & Norah - Soundtrack * Singles: Metric - Help I'm Alive Andrew Bird - Fitz and the Dizzyspells Carly Rae Jepsen - Tug of War (thats where the title of this post is from) Britney - Gimme More (lol... yes)

New pages from my Journal :]

(above, quote from Me, Myself and Irene) Lol, at the end of Christmas night, Grandpa realized that my Uncle shaved his head. His hair waaas about 2 feet long. Lol, my aunty Sandy is so funny. Grandpa's favorite saying; it's like how our generation always says "like". hehe :) My Grandma's maiden name was Bourne. And she was saying how maybe our family lineage is related to Jason Bourne. We were all laughing at how this is not even possible. And Keith and I were laughing at how Mom couldn't say it clearly...lol.

Jill was asking me if i like cooking. I said, No, but I like cutting. I thought a knife would be too graphic and somewhat disturbing to represent the quote. We brought our journals to Salisbury House (restaurant) and drew together. I made this one there :) * Keith and I are on our way out. Busy little Saturday. Home Depot, maybe hit up Bed, Bath and Beyond... I don't know if we'll have enough time! Lol, but really. We're going to home depot. And we keep saying that quote from Old School. Btw Mom: Old School doesn't mean vintage. Oh youuuuu!

Have a good weekend!

Love Leigh-Ann

I'll make you a Custom Mini-Album :]

Hi Everyone! Thanks for such a great response yesterday! I'm gonna do it! I'm going to make custom mini-albums for people :] Why hire me to make your mini-books? 1. You don't have to make it! You receive a completed album! All I need from you is the pictures, a story & a bit of info behind each photo, and a discussion thru email about the style of album you'd like :] 2. I'm good at it :) Mini albums are my FAVORITE thing to make! And I have a unique style and endless fresh ideas! 3. You'll have a deadly album! To me, mini-albums are so much cooler than traditional style scrapbooking! They're a little look in! They're fun and simple; not overpowering and never ending. I love having my mini books out for friends and company to pick up and flip thru! Prices start at $100 and I can either create a completely original style mini-album orrrr a variation of one of my past mini-album designs :] If you'd like to discuss a custom mini-album, please email me at FreckledNest@gmail.com or leave a message with your email address in the comments of this post :]

today...

1. I'm a guestblogger at Elsie's Blog today! Go see my fat minibook at A Beautiful Mess :]2. If you're visiting from Elsie's Blog... hi!! :] 3. What do you think of this idea = me making custom mini albums for people? Like, from start to finish, LA style? (I'd get the photos thru email, take care of editing them & printing, get a story for each picture and put together a sick album). This idea kept me up last night. I like it. I woke Keith up to talk about it. lol. 4. I've picked a winner of the About Me challenge :] Check the right sidebar to see who I chose! :] 5. Very exciting! Happy Inauguration Day!! 6. The book bag and messenger bag SALE ends this Friday.

Happy Monday :D

My friend Elsie asked me to guestblog tomorrow and next Tuesday :] I'm working on a new mini-album about Tom and i'll be sharing it there tomorrow :) I have some exciting news! In April, I'm going to be Elsie's houseguest for a few weeks and help her with the Red Velvet Art store and preparations for the Red Velvet Craft Weekend :] How cool! And if you're gonna be at the Craft Weekend, I'll see you there :] I use the back of my hand to adjust the paint on my brush. Does anyone else ever do that? Happy Monday!!
