Worldwide Photo Walk!
I'm participating in the Worldwide Photo Walk tomorrow morning. I have not one but two new gear bags now - one is a LowePro Sling Shot camera backpack that I bought specifically to use tomorrow. Can't wait!!!

Feature Article
Like many scrappers, I often dreamed of being published - whether for my layouts, my photography or maybe even a little journaling.
Every submission a hopeful scrapper sends in to a magazine is a competition of sorts - to win a coveted spot in a publication. Something that shows that your work is viable, acceptable and yes, even attractive.
I have won a few such coveted spots in the years I've been digital scrapping - Scrapstreet, Ready; Set; Create, Memory Makers (a real, compensated spot in their print magazine! as well as several Idea Gallery Inspiration spots), Somerset (another print magazine) - but in this case, I am honored and humbled to be the sole winner of Scrapbooking.com Magazine's June Vacation layout contest.
My layout was scrapped from the heart - this one was not done with competition in mind. It was just one that I really loved creating - and that the folks at Scrapbooking.com felt was worthy, and that you might like too.
Here is my layout, and a link to the magazine article is here: Vacations Layout Contest Winner

Baby Doves
It's been a busy few weeks for us! On June 29, a pair of mourning doves decided to nest in my balcony flower box. So we have had a bird's eye view of the new eggs and hatchlings, which came into the world yesterday and today. I'll catch up on the photos later - but here's a video I just took a few minutes ago. The one on the left hatched this morning. It's pretty windy here today...it was sitting next to it's sibling, but I caught it crawling under mama's feathers for shelter.

WoO
That's WoO, as in World of Outlaws...we attended the races in Beaver Dam (July 11) and Cedar Lake Speedway (July 12). Would you have expected any different - when it's that close to home?
Beaver Dam - July 11
Cedar Lakes - July 12
