Yum! The second day of an at-home vacation. Life is good.

One of the projects for today is to finish a small scrapbook for my latest 16-year-old niece Violet. Her birthday was actually in August, but this weekend is the first time we've gotten together with her family (they're the up-north bunch and are sooo busy). Of course, I could have finished it up in August . . . or September . . . but no. Procastination, thy name is Shirl.

I've used the mosaic method on one page. Photos are cut into one inch squares and then placed on a grid. A page of examples is here. It's an interesting experience to view one inch fragments of pictures.

Added about noon-thirty: If you're using eyelets or rivets in your paper works, get the little hammer that is for those projects! I tried to make do with a regular hammer: the balance isn't right. I've been having absolutely too much fun!

This afternoon I'm going to get a walk in, and then this evening I'm meeting a friend to see Veronica Guerin. Oh, how I love days off!
