I have had a great time looking at all the amazing entries for your contest, Ro! I was also surprised at the amount of entries and must say that I don't envy you the job of selection.

Do take care of yourself and I hope that you're feeling better very soon. :-)

These are so good! I haven't stopped laughing! Boy am I glad I'm not a judge!!

[MariJ]

Oh, dear -- I do hope you are feeling better and better..
I am so sorry to hear about your accident.

I have tried and tried -- I'm new at this, but I just can't get the photo to save on my MAC as anything but a web archive.
So, it won't open in Photoshop or save as a JPEG for me to use.
I know I wouldn't win because I"m new at this, but I did want to participate and add my best wishes, but I just can't seem to get it to work....
So, I guess I can't play -- sorry about that.

But, I sure do hope you're back to feeling fine sooner than soon!
Best wishes!

It's August. It's Friday. What do you say we have a little fun?

On July 18th, I smashed up my cute, little, yellow Mini Cooper while backing out of the driveway. The car is almost fixed now, but I won't be repaired for some time. (I have a lingering concussion.)

After a couple of weeks of sitting around the house, I'm getting pretty bored and wish I could do something strange and unusual this weekend. But since I have to stay fairly quiet, I'm in a jam.

This morning, I started to think about my problem again. How could I have fun without making my concussion worse?

I thought and thought and thought and thought about it. And then - after I had thought some more - I got an idea: "Why don't I start game on the Scrap Girls messageboard", I thought, "and let people do something strange and unusual to me?"

We're going to have FOUR (4) winners this time. All of the four winners will receive a $20 gift certificate to the Scrap Girls Boutique! Everyone who plays will receive a $2.00 gift certificate to the Scrap Girls Boutique!

2. Most original

Thanks for the fun! Instead of cropping in Ro's photo I printed it out and took her for a little daily adventure in our lives here.

This one really had me LOL. I love the playtime picture with Ro playing peek a boo around the couch with baby hahahaha. And braving the teen driver. Hilarious!

Ro, my DH and my oldest DD and I made you a movie about how things haven't worked quite right since your concussion. Hope you enjoy it!
Ro in the Twilight Zone


Yeah! I finally figured out how to include the video on this page!

[MariJ]

Thanks SO MUCH to Ang for so kindly posting my layout for me.
She turned my sad tale and frustration (below) to feeling MUCH better!

Well, I am very sad to say -- I spent a while working on a layout, but there is absolutely NO attach button on my browser.
I see that other people have had the same problem so I know it's just not me.
I have read through all the posts and followed the tips and help given and carefully looked at all the illustrations, but alas -- I have no way to add my creation to this post
Right now it is almost midnight ET -- way past my bedtime and way past frustration for me.

I wish you well and a speedy recovery, Ro. Sure wish I could participate in the game!
But I am ready to scream at this point and way too tired to fruitlessly keep trying

Right now MY head feels muddled and I'm so sorry I can't put my pic up.

Amber, what a HOOT! The "Twilight Zone" is so great. I'm assuming the guy's voice is your husband; his tone and pacing are perfect! Love it.

[enjoyingtheartofit]

Ro is all aglow will all these creative works of art!

(PS Painting with Light is one of the techniques I learned because of ScrapGirls photo club! Thanks ME!)
