What's that? You'd rather see a card instead? Ok, I guess you caught me in a good mood, so I'll share one.
Book Reports:
Book #9: Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer. I was suckered into buying this when I read a review somewhere that compared it favorably to Malcolm Gladwell. Yeah, notsomuch. A few of the memory tricks were pretty neat, but there just wasn't much "umph" to the story. Based on the other reviews, I may be an outlier.
Book #10: This is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper. Perfect vacation book--laugh out loud with lots of good scenes. Makes me want to read more of his books.
Book #8 Update: The Help comes out in paperback Tuesday!

No, certainly not too much! That Impress flower is all kinds of awesome, too, especially the way you've coloured it! Love how you did the sentiment, too.
Good to know about the Foer book... I've seen all kinds of positive reviews and fawning interviews and was thinking it might have to go on my reading list. Now, as you said, notsomuch. Off to check into the Tropper book!
Pretty card. Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing the Powerpoint slides too. I like math. :) Hope you are having a good weekend, give Addi a hug from me.

This card makes me smile, Meg! You put so many beautiful papers together so perfectly. I love it!
Thanks for the great review on Tropper's book(s). I'm going to put him on my wish list. ;)
Love your card, Meg! It's dripping with OA goodness--you can't have too much of a good thing. :) And I certainly wouldn't mind seeing some of those rockin' HS math powerpoints! Feel free to throw in some of those any time. ;)
Ooh, I love all the patterns here -- a card after my own heart (and I like it just the way it is, too). I was wondering about that Foer book -- Thanks for the "outlier" review.
I just loaded up the Kindle pre-trip, so I'll add Tropper to my post-trip list for sho.
Oh, and my blog/desk/supplies are super-neglected too...and unlike yours, they remain so....
Wonderful card! I love all the layers and details. I love the paper you used (some of my favorite!)
