..ok so far

Well, DH and Alex are ok so far at Disney World.  Let's just say I carry the phone around after about 6:30pm just waiting for the "all clear" call!!  Really, they actually seem to be having a total blast.  It just feels very weird for them to be somewhere having fun and I am not there with them.  I think they might come home a tad bit early though.  Their flight was scheduled to leave Orlando on Friday at 7am and instead they might come home late Thursday afternoon.  Today they are doing Sea World - which I am sure will be the absolute high point of the trip for both of them.

So since I have this time to myself in the evenings, as Ben goes to bed at 7pm and I have no DH to make me feel GUILTY for spending all the time at the computer, I've been really playing around.  The first thing I did was delete most/all of my layouts at a couple galleries.  I debated about this - especially since at SBB I had several comments from the Shabby Miss which pretty much sent me over the moon!!  Here was my dilemma - when I first started hanging out at these on-line galleries I used my first initial and last name and in SBB's case I used my whole name.  I really hated that someone could just google my name and see all my layouts.  It REALLY bothered me, especially if they were slightly personal.  At SBB they changed my username for me, but couldn't change all the previous layout submissions to that new username.  So I deleted all the layouts posted under the old username at SBB and then all the layouts at the other place I used to post (DSD) which also had my last name.  The worst thing is that I started deleting before realizing that these posts had my layout credits in them....ugh...so some of them I didn't catch and now have to recreate the credits.  Once I realized, I started cutting and pasting the credits into my Typepad photo album (on the sidebar here) so I could keep track of it all.  Ok...do I sound crazy here?  I know lots of other people use their whole name so it doesn't bother everybody, but for some reason it really freaked me out that people could google me and find all these things.  Also, I have a somewhat unusual last name so that might've made the google searches easier to pick me up!!

OK....paranoia aside.  I didn't post these before, but here are two layouts I did for the Scrapartist Anniversary Bash a couple week ago.  I really ended up liking these two - wish I could've done more of the awesome challenges, but couldn't find all that time.  See credits at Scrapartist gallery link--->

And I did this last night with Dani's This Love CD Collection.  The kit is Everday Romance.  I didn't get to use the awesome paisley paper with it so I'm going to have to do another layout - because I just LOVE that paisley.

I hope you've been having a blast with all that free time on your hands. I get paranoid sometimes, too. Maybe I should go into complete hiding. Hmmmm..

AWESOME layouts!!

Doesn't sound crazy at all! I know I've thought about using mine and came up with the same reasons not too. I don't even use my "real" name as a designer, LOL!! Awesome layouts of course and I'm glad to hear that your guys are having a fun time!

Hey you! OH, MY! LOVE your layouts--you seriously are one of my favorites! Every page seems to have that new, different something that is super creative! OK-- Now I'm kind of freaked out because my username is jharr. Hmmmmmm, wondering if I should change it? Ackkk!
I really hope all is way fun for your hubby & son!! HUGS

Oh I'm sorry I'm so behind on my blog reading! Better late than never though, right? LOL You know I've been telling myself that I need to go around and delete some layouts from gallery's that I don't hang out at also. For whatever reason, it bugs me to think that my layouts are just taking up space at a community that I don't participate at. Anyway, you know I love your layouts! Espcially the first Summer one! I just love it!!
