I'm still at it. I'm working away at my mom and dad's gift album. Not much longer until I can package it up and mail it off. Hopefully!

Okay, sorry... you don't have to be polite about it. Just say it. Yuck! This layout did not work out the way I wanted it to. But then again, I didn't have a plan. I just started cutting paper and sticking it down.
The next one turned out a bit better, but it still felt forced:

I'm thinking that my creative side has been buried under all those tennis balls I've been hitting lately. ;)

Speaking of tennis, I've been staying up way too late, watching matches streamed live from the Australian Open. I'm LOVING all the tennis but was very disappointed when I woke up Thursday morning and checked the scores on my Australian Open iPhone app to see that Federer had lost in the semifinals. Too bad... I love watching him play.

What else? Have I mentioned how much I'm loving my iPhone?

One last thing to share.
* the first page of Thomas' awesome comic book
I love that Thomas loves to draw comics. Many of the stories are derived from the silly books he reads, but the storylines and characters are not exactly the same, and there are very clever plays on words and silly jokes that require a bit of thought to dream up and put on paper. What a great way for him to express himself!

And that's it from our part of the world. I hope all's well where you are.
