Digital Scrapbooking

Ok, so am I seriously getting on your nerves with all my raving about Picnik?? I really love that site, I'm sorry! I also love digital scrapbooking - and it is SO EASY when you use Picnik! It is the coolest thing. I can do it right from my computer in 5 minutes without all the messy stickers and all the hard work of a paper scrapbook. I know, that sounds really lazy, doesn't it? :) Above are my favorite pages that I've done so far.
PS To see the pictures bigger, just click on them. The same goes for any other pictures that I've posted!

Google Office

We all need to work at Google! These are pictures of their office.....I was amazed!
Moving around: A slide allows quick access from different floors ... There are also poles available ... they are similar to the ones used in fire stations.
Food: Employees can eat all they want from a vast choice of food and drink.
Work Station: Each employee has at least two large screens. There are 4-6 'Zooglers' per office.
Inovation: Large boards are available just about everywere because 'ideas don't always come when seated in the office' says one of Googles managers.
Leisure: Pool tables, video games etc. are available in many areas.
Communication.. On each floor, there are private cabin areas where employees can attend to personal affairs.
Technical Support: Problem with your computer ? No problem . Bring it to this area where drinks are available while it is being fixed.
Health: Professional masseurs (eusses) available.
Rest: This room provides massage chairs that you control ... while you view relaxing aquariums.
Ambiance: There are many books in this library - even some about programming! :)

An edited version of Cowgirl Lilly, using Picnik.

No, that is not a typo. :) Picnik is this really cool website where, after an easy (and free!) registration, you upload you pictures and you can do all kinds of things with them - create collages, cards, and tons more. Just make sure not to select "Premium" when you sign up for an account, unless you want to spend $25. It has more features, but I'm sticking with the free account for right now! :) http://www.picnik.com/

Sheriff Lilly

Oh no! Have I locked up the wrong person?!
Halt! Stay where you are! Hmm...Which one of these goes to jail?
Another job well done! :)
Sorry, I couldn't resist posting these!

Beautiful Lilly

Cowgirl Lilly!
I snapped this picture when I caught her up in my room - so precious
Fairy Lilly!
We've been pretty busy the last few weeks...On Tuesday we had to go the orthodontist - I'm going to need to get braces in the very near future. So we'll see how that goes....
Today we walked in the area around the Arkansas River. It's so beautiful there! We've already been looking for a house (it's so hard to believe that we'll be moving out soon!) and we found a neighborhood that we really like. Dad wants to be able to bicycle to church - he isn't a believer in wasting fuel! :)
On Thursday we had our first "real" snow here - not enough to go sledding, but it was maybe 1/4 of an inch. It was so pretty! Unfortunately, my camera was out of battery at the time. :(
Last week I slept of at my friend Reagan's house, and that was really fun. I'm glad that I'm making friends now - it's always hard when you first move somewhere. I really, really, REALLY hope that we get our call here. The church is perfect, everyone is so friendly, and we love the town!

Happy New Year!

Lilly with her play kitchen she got for Christmas.
The kitchen
Miss Lilly - the famous movie star - was in town!
I LOVE this picture!
Miss MeMe the movie star was also in town!
WARNING: THIS POST WILL BE SHORT! :)
I hope everyone had a really great Christmas and New Year's celebration! I can't believe another year of our lives has already slipped by. We didn't do much last night, we had a quiet night at home -complete with a cheese fondue and movies.
I hope everybody will be fine in 2009 (sorry, that was the best I could come up with...lame, I know :D), and I wish everyone the best!
