Hola!
It has been a week, not an extremely pleasant one, but sometimes life happens, right! Frank is in Argentina and Brazil for last week and next, so he can only call every other day. So of course there were house/renter issues to deal with, and car repairs that couldn’t wait! Ugh.
(Automobiles are those Necessary Evils we must deal with…how disgusting, to put hundreds of dollars into a car repair or maintenance, only to then be able to…drive it away, which it seems like you should have been able to do ANYWAY??!?!)
My friend Audrey reminded me in her blog, however, that there are also bright spots of my week, found in photos and scrapbooking. So I thought I’d share a few pages I’ve been working on. (THIS is what I do some nights after the kids go to bed, and I give myself an hour or so of computer time to edit photos, organize, and create. Meet my therapist, Dr. Photoshop Elements…)
Above are 3 pages: Kara’s baptism, some beach fun in Playa del Carmen last Thanksgiving, and David’s scout group in Mexico City last year. The kids’ books have 8.5 X 11inch pages, and our Mexico book will have 12X12inch pages.
Have a great week! Love, Kari

Hey my brother is gone for 5 weeks to Costa Rica, Spain and other warm sunny places for his work too. Except I don't know what he does exactly. He has a new job in DC again which involves speaking Spanish to farmers....I think. See, that didn't even make sense, but that is all I know. His wife misses him too. all they can do is MSN.
I LOVE your header picture. I need to get Photoshop!
Hiya hermana,
Voy a escribir en espanol para ver si me puedes entender. Lo siento de los problemas del carro - que barbaridad!
Estamos en nuestra casa nueva! Que felicidad me siento. Cuando Rachelle regresa a Show Low el viernes, ella puede tomar fotos y las voy a mandar a familia. Portete bien y te escribire pronto.
Car repairs!!! I knew I forgot something in my list of woes in my last post.
Sorry Franks gone, that's no fun. Sorry he wasn't coming to Rio-we would have taken him out to eat.
Your pictures look great-the ones from play del carmen and the ones from the Lomas ward made me sad.
Miss you!
Cool scrapbook pages. What software are you using?
How are you making your books? Are you printing out individual pages and putting them in traditional scrapbooks, or are you having them made in to bound books by shutterfly, etc. ?
Hey, we have the same therapist! Love your pages and photos. Yes, scrapping is a bright spot in any week.
Your therapist (and Audrey's) is money well-spent. I'm so glad I can zoom in on your details!
Clarification....I can only zoom in on your own photos..but not your scrapbook pages. Help!
