5 Things I'm Doing Right Now & Questions

1.  Winning!  I was picked as a random winner at Shimelle's blog for Happy Scrapbook Day, and I won two passes to any of her classes.  I'm holding on to them right now and will probably use them for an upcoming class.  So, keep your eye open for a blog give-away whenever the next unmissable Shimelle class comes on line.  Also, the envelope and many of the goodies in the above photo were the result of winning on Jacky's blog.  Thanks so much Jacky - I love everything in the package.
2. Planning!  Today I went to get my passport renewed for our trip this summer.  In July, we'll be in London for two weekends, the Cotswolds for a few days and Cambridge for a few days.  I love my passport.  This is the second passport I have traveled with, and it expired at the end of last year.  I love looking at all the various stamps from the places I've visited.  I can't wait to start filling the pages of my new one! Do you have a passport?  Is it well loved?  Also, for my UK friends, any recommendations for places to stay or visit in the Cotswold area?
3.  Imagining! I signed up for the 2012 Sketchbook Project, and I received my sketchbook in the mail.  I chose the topic "In 10 minutes," so that I could challenge myself to create things quickly.  Has anyone else participated or planning to participate?
4.  Enjoying!  Enjoying the view opened up by the hard work of tree cutters who cut down one of our trees and one of our neighbor's trees:

Watching them made me really happy that I had a job which kept my feet firmly on the ground!

5. Packing! We're going down to Southern California for the weekend to attend my niece's Quincenera (a Latino celebration when a young girl turns 15).  I'll leave some auto posts for you to enjoy while I'm gone.

So, what are you up to?
P.S. For those who asked about my summer reading list, you can see it in this post.
