decisions. decisions.

i just decided that i am going to dismantle the second layout below and make a mini book with the photo as the cover. i'm certain it will make me much more happy than that layout does. & & that way i don't have to re-print that photo or buy those stickers again. :]

also. i went craft table hunting today.
no luck.
grr.
the thing is... i know what i'm looking for and nothing that i find locally is meeting the expectation. i'm sad our pier 1 is closed because i would probably just go with that one. [a la gigi kennedy.] there is also a pretty fabulous looking option at pottery barn [the bedford project table], but like i said... i don't want to spend a fortune. then there the target-version of the fabulous looking pottery barn option [the adams craft table], but we don't have it at our target, so i can't see what i looks like or evaluate the quality.
i checked dania = nothing.
i checked the office supply store = nothing.
so. there is a pier 1 in carson. i might have to see if they have what i am looking for and just make the drive. i'm sure james will want to go out there to see his parents sometime soon. :]

ok. i'm going to try to finish a layout and work on my birthday countdown book until i get tired. i hope everyone is having a wonderful long weekend.

p.s. tonight i told james he should do something romantic. he started laughing and asked me what to do. and i said he should sing to me. in my mind, i was secretly hoping he would start singing the chorus to "amie" by the pure prairie league. but. no. he busts out rev run style singing "oh baby yoooou you got what i need..." ha. nice.
