So much news!!!!!

Well there’s been a lot going on and I just haven’t had a chance to get around here to boast and roast! So I think I'll do it over the next couple days! However I do have a couple pretty amazing things to share with you for now!

I'll start with something I wanted to do some time back, but just never got around to doing! I'm so behind right now! Ok, so even thought it’s now February, I just wanted to showcase the wonderful handcrafted cards I received for Christmas. I treasured them!

A week In Review & What's In the Coming Week

Wow .... Lots of thing have been happening and there's more to come!

My youngest son turned NINE and my parents came to visit!
I so love 'em dearly, but when they come to town it's like the Hatfield & the McCoys!
[so much dislike between my husband and parents]
Some of you already know!

Anyhow, my boys had a blast eating, swimming, haning out with the g-parents. My youngest got some videos, pokemon cards
(ughhh, I just don't get those things),
toys and lots of hugs!
I always hate it when they have to leave, but all good things must come to an end. Besides that ... I'm planning a trip to visit them and my grandmother in November sometime.

I didn't get to scrap much, well actually none at all.
That royally stinks because I've got to work on an album for someone. I've got lots more to do, but quite honestly it's difficult when you don't know the faces you're looking at and none of the photos are dated. Oh well, just means I have to meet with him often and get relative info to keep scrapping. I have an impending deadline though of around the first week in November ... SO I BETTER STAY BUSY ON IT!

ScrapbookSuppliesDirect.com has yet another Guest Designer call out to reign during the month of November. Deadline for submissions for this call is October 15 (which is rapidly approaching). Oh, and I've seen the new SSD kit that is going to be released soon. IT'S SPOOKTACULAR! Pop on over to SSD and check them out, sign up AND make sure you sign up for the newsletter. Kit details will be in the newsletter, as well as the 2nd Annual HALLOWEEN HOOPLA!

I've got a full day ahead of me on Monday, my LSS class is full to capacity! I'm so excited because this will definitely make the trip much more bearable. The class is on BO Bunny's "Family" word album. I'll have to snap some pictures of it later!

Oh and lastly, my bloggy is soon to be celebrating it's one year anniversary!
Whoo hooo!
Thanks for putting up with me this long!

Whew! I'm Glad That's Over!

What a week it has been so far! So much has happened!

Some of you already know that I organize a group that raises funds and aids in budget needs for my local library. We just wrapped up our annual silent auction ... and it was great! I think it went well, but all I can say is WHEW I'm glad it's over! A lot of work goes into fundraising. I was pleased that several of my cards and notecards that I put in the auction sold and did quite well. YEAH!

Moving right along, today was also the close of a Design Team call we had running at ScrapbookSuppliesDirect.com. There were ooooooooddles of awesome creations submitted, but I had the unfortunate task of picking JUST ONE! I mean, come on... ONE?!?! There seriously was some great stuff.

Well, I just wanted to take a moment to tell CHRISTINE (aka: ScrappyGal) Congrats for getting the first DT spot. Hope over to SSD or check out her blog and wish her well.

Oh and toot toot, of sorts! I've got my first official album to do for someone. This fella wants me to do a complete album to chronicle the relationship w/his now wife. It's a secret though! He plans on having it to display when they renew their vows. He wants to make it a centerpiece so she can look at it and say 'what's this.' He ultimately wants to make her cry! I guess in this instance I'll enable him. LOL! But I'm so stoked about getting this chance.
