Baltimore!

I'm back! I went on a fun trip to Baltimore, MD. I went with 6 of my colleagues for a research project. We did a consumer taste panel on Canadian and U.S. steak. For each panelists we surveyed, we donated $25 to Big Brother and Big Sisters! We got 213 panelists! Great success! While we were there, we got to do some site seeing which was fabulous! Here are some pictures:

The White House (we didn't see Mr. President, although we did have a bet on how long it would take to get snipered down if I jumped the fence...)Washington Monument. Isn't this where the movie Forest Gump took place?

This is a picture of me up in the Washington Monument. I was very motion sick from the elevator up...and a little afraid of the height...This was a wall of stamps that were dedicated to President Lincoln. I thought they were beautiful.

Our group infront of the capitol building. We booked it all over D. C.!

Lastly, I made it to Round two over at Scrap for a cure!!! I'm so excited! There were so many great entries; I feel so honored! Here is my layout. We had to have "time" in the title and a clock on the page. Yay for round number two!

Thanks for stopping by!

Contest!!!

WOW! it has been a while since my last posting! I've been slaving on my thesis and lost time!

Anyway, I have a contest to share! A design team contest! Over at Scrap for a Cure! I hope ya'll go for it!

"This contest will involve 3 rounds of entries. The first round will be voted on, and the top 10 scrappers will go on to the next round. The top 10 will complete another challenge, and the top 5 will be chosen for the final round. After the final round we will announce a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. The winners will earn:
1st: a 3 month spot on the design team!
2nd: November guest designer
3rd: A November mini kit

Sounds like something worth playing for, right?! The first challenge is to complete a layout with a clock somewhere on the layout, and you also must have the word "time" somewhere on your layout. Other than that, you are free to be creative!!! We can't wait to see what you come up with! All entries for round 1 will be due by August 25th at 11:59 pm PST. The top 10 will be announced on or before August 28th. Please send all entries to info@scrapforacure.com.
