;o)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously, I scrapbooked for over 15 years and have 25 HUGE, FULL albums. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have no more room for scrapbook layouts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It just means Kat will have no memories of her childhood while Jacob has EVERYTHING documented. The curse of being the second child.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So for today's celebration I made a card.</div>

and it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling just to look at them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another thing that gives me a warm fuzzy feeling is when it's time to switch the binders. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday was that day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All of my books start out in a little 1/2" binder like that one on top. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then as the book gets bigger, they slowly creep up in page count until they need the 1 1/2" binder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday <b><i>Operation: Endeavor</i></b> moved to the 1 1/2" binder (30,000 words so far.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
AND <b><i>Unity Found</i></b> made it's way into a 1/2" binder (3000 words so far.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hehe...I haven't told you about <b><i>Unity Found</i></b> yet have I??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a new novella which I hope to finish pretty quickly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was inspired by this photo of the hero, Tod, and our discussion of him on the Unity DT private page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tod is an outdoor outfitter on the Boundary Waters area of Minnesota.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lila, the heroine, is a wildlife photographer needing an outdoor guide for her BoundaryWaters photo shoot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Serendipity definitely comes into play when these two hook up. It's a fun little book and I am having just a blast writing it. It's fun to write something short and flirty for a change in pace.</div>

I had big plans for playing with my Kit of the Month for today's post, but then my Mac mouse died...kind of. It points, but it doesn't click. Did you realize you can't do anything with a computer if you can't click??? And unfortunately, that's the only computer that talks with my camera, but now I have to order a new mouse from Apple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Long story right?? So instead of new art, I am going to show you my piece I made for this month's challenge. Do you play the challenges?? If not, you should! Big prizes involved! Plus it's fun!</div>

Once upon a time there was a beautiful little Princess. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
Normally she was a sweet and lovely child. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
But one horrible day, she decided to disobey the Queen's edicts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
As a result, she was punished and was very sad indeed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
But at her heart, she was a Good Little Princess.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
Not once did she complain about her punishment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
In fact, she tried to see the good in the circumstances.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
The Queen was impressed with her strength and positivity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
As a result, the next day, the Queen wanted to do something to uplift the Little Princess.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
A gorgeous, glittery card featuring the Princess was just the way to her heart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
The card was much appreciated by the Princess and it made her smile.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
It was a beautiful smile. Just like the Princess.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
The End.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">

I am going to tell you something shocking. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am a writer obsessed with my coffee.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can hear the virtual gasps right now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In this house, we make 2 pots of 12 cup coffee per day (one in the morning and another around 2:00 in the afternoon). We brew a German coffee called Jacobs and it is cause for panic when we are down to only one unopened bag in the coffee cabinet. (We usually have 4-6 bags in there at a time....)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have two favorite coffee cups....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig0A3fdp-V8tlCD1Fy-5H79VdSFVdm2f5ap7MaOIq0NemZk_tsnZgQTtyKt_ye0xJGDE8vPKi708YKtEOOc1crTbk0xhJlaOmgds_VKOB7gxSIylTXsXnxCGx57sx6AjTLcEdR/s1600/IMG_0396.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig0A3fdp-V8tlCD1Fy-5H79VdSFVdm2f5ap7MaOIq0NemZk_tsnZgQTtyKt_ye0xJGDE8vPKi708YKtEOOc1crTbk0xhJlaOmgds_VKOB7gxSIylTXsXnxCGx57sx6AjTLcEdR/s400/IMG_0396.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My pink one, which holds 2 cups of coffeepot coffee.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then my big honking pottery coffee cup which holds 4 cups of coffeepot coffee.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(by the way...is there ANYONE in this world satisfied by what a coffeepot determines is a single cup?? I don't think so! Where did that measurement come from?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So back to my coffee cups. When my muse is working hard for me, I use the big honking one. Lately, that's the cup I've been drinking from (i.e. the writing on <b><i>Operation: Endeavor</i></b> is going VERY well right now.) I love that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I am debating buying a Keurig. My writing space is at a bar style table in the corner of our living room (we use it as a game table when it's not my office space.) It's right beside a classic 70's wet bar (cue the disco music...hehe.) I've debated getting a little single cup Keurig pot and putting it on the wet bar for when I need an additional pick-me-up cup in between pots, but $100 seems a lot for a few single cups a week. Does anyone have any feedback??</div>

For Spring Break, we headed down to Hill Country, to a little historic cabin in Wimberly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a fabulous few days, so I thought I would share a few of our favorite photos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took over 350, so you are getting off easy with just these few...hehe!</div>

Out in the back of the cabin is what I am guessing to be an original barn, although only three sides of it are still standing. They've turned it into a party area, with hot tub, grill, sitting and eating area complete with a chandelier-lit bar. So cool! The photo above was taken through one of the old windows of that structure of sunset while the kids played in the hot-tub, below.</div>

Jake has turned out to be quite a photographer. This photo was taken in the town of Wimberly of him photographing, Kat playing and hanging out with her big brother. She loves him so much.</div>

These photos are all taken from a park in Wimberly. There is a river running through the town which makes the whole town have a mountain feel to it. We really loved it and the scenery was gorgeous.</div>

We spent several days exploring some of the area around Wimberly. One of the schools that Jacob is interested in attending is Texas State down in San Marcus. They have a natural spring lake there that is just amazing. HUGE amounts of water coming into this natural lake everyday and they offer glass-boat rides so that you can see the springs. The photo below is from that boat ride. The cracks in the rocks are where the water comes up. You can see it in the photo, but you can see the water coming in when you are there watching it. It was incredibly fascinating. Everyone LOVED that 30 minutes of our trip. We got to see tons of underwater sealife...fish, turtles and springs.</div>
