My parents have Gracie all day and guess what I have done? Nothing. What a waste!

I got up, went to the foot doctor, stopped at pet store for supplies (Sparky, our goldfish, has some dropsy/swim bladder and I hope we can make it better), went to the drug store, came home, did laundry, swam, showered, had lunch, packed up and mailed something I sold on ebay, and here I am. I planned on either working on jewelry today or scrapbooking, but at 6:10pm, I cannot find the energy or drive.

And I know when Little Miss G comes home in a while, I will regret it.

Oh well. Off to fold more laundry and make up the beds.

Oh, here's some photos of Gracie from her birthday- there's tons more over at Flickr, along with a bunch more of my scrapbook layouts. I finally photographed them and uploaded them... Pretty much any photo with Gracie in it is "friend protected", so add me as a friend in your Flickr contacts to see them if you can't.


Birthday dinner...

Oh, and hey, did Coke stop making C2? Because that's my addiction, and I am so sad I can't find it locally anymore :(

Once again, Gracie is one of the most beautiful babies EVER! Her hair is getting longer, and she's got an older look to her! They grow up way too darn fast!
You are a very talented scrapbooker by the way-great job! I wish I could do that!!

Chel (pronounced "shell"). 33. Mama to Gracie. Artist. Friend. Adoptive parent. Scrapbooker (not a very good one, at that). Long distance swimmer. Animal rescuer. Wife. Beader maker. Vegetarian. Rubber stamp collector.

Why the change? This new face of gingerblue.com is the culmination of three online journals/blog (the adoption blog, the baby blog, the art blog), plus the personal web page I have been maintaining since 1995. Here you'll find updates on Gracie, updates on my jewelry making, what I have going on in my art studio, and what's going on with life in general.
