And Life Goes On (personal update & a creation)

I've been so bad ..... I haven't made a post in a long time. I've tried not to make them all on a personal note, but I haven't been able to create much lately! However I did create one card this week ……

So here’s a little of my dirty laundry! Some of you may know that I left my husband in March because he was verbally and emotionally abusive. It just wasn't a healthy environment for me .... let alone the kids. So I made a big change in my life and the lifestyle of my boys! Unfortunately, the husband is oblivious to his problems … even though I’ve told him for almost ten years that he has anger issues or needs to stop making mountains out of mole hills.


I've interviewed for a job (although it has nothing to do with my clerical background) and I'm a little leery about it. But .... it beats not making any money! I did get that job and have been there for about a month. When I say I'm rollin’ in the dough.... I'm not kidding! It's a bakery!


What's happened since then ..... Hmmm, my sister got married on St Patty's Day and we had the reception in May. She got some pretty great little treasures for her house! I think their favorite was their coffee/espresso machine. YUMMMMMMY! Congrats to ya both, but Rick better develop eyes in the back of his head with you Sarah ... I see those bunny ears!




My two boys have tested and are not quite as ready as I am for them to go to public school. You have to understand, they've been homeschooled all their life, so this will be a drastic change for them.


Oh and here's what I've been up to.... Vroom Vroom baby! I bought me a car. It wasn't brand new, but the miles were low, the price was right AND my personal favorite .... it's a manual transmission! I ABSOLUTELY HATE AUTOMATICS!!!!


So with all that said ….. the only thing to say is that I’ve been missing you, my friends!!!!!! I will try to post again. Hopefully, I'll find my creative muse again!

The day is coming....






The day is drawing near for me to see my submission in print with EK Success. I'm so excited. I had to mail them the layout and I know that they said it was the January 8th Newsletter and "What's New" on their site, but I'm not very good at being patient! Atleast not when it comes to getting scrappin goodies! I'll post up details when the email goes out.



I have a busy month ahead of me with lots of meetings, homeschooling, field trips, and teaching scrapbooking classes at my LSS. This month I'll be teaching wedding pages, an altered wooden picture frame & a "Year In Review" two page layout about what else.... the end of 2007 (Shown Below). The tags can be used to show a variety of things. In my example here I have them showing things such as 'current prices for milk, gas, etc. I also have two tags that show what each of my boys liked the most about that year (movie, music, etc).
