So many reasons for excitement....

So excited today, and a little exhausted. Excited because we're heading to Disney VERY soon, exhausted because we're trying to get the kids healthy before we leave--it's been a LONG weekend.

I created autograph books for each of my sons to take. I just love Disney and can't wait to see everything through the eyes of my children!!! I know my older one will be more into it, but just to see the expressions on each of their faces will be TOTALLY worth it to me! You can see my creations here.

I'm also excited for one of my friends, who I met at Kindermusik with our kids, but didn't know she scrapped. So, we reconnected through our LSS. She teaches there and has some GREAT classes! She has just been asked by Fiskars to attend the Fiskateer roundup. Congrats Sudie!!! I'm SO EXCITED for you!!!

Up for a challenge??

My girlfriend and I are hoping to start a "club." Do you remember clubs from when you were younger? I loved them, they were so much fun. I was in a sticker club at a store in the mall, what a hoot. I loved going to get my "sticker of the month" each month. And, then putting in the sticker book, it had to have just the right space. OH BOY what was I thinking!!!

Anyway, back to the new club. We're hoping to start a club at the local scrapbook store, where she works and I frequent WAY too much! It's a club to challenge your creativity, your mind, your everything and get you to think "outside the box." We're working on challenges now and the purpose of the club to propose to the owner. I think it's AWESOME and I can't wait!!! My girlfriend is SUPER creative and I am inspired by her. I tell her all the time and she gives me this WHATEVER look, but she truly does. When it becomes official, I'll let you know more.

Clubs are back, baby!!!!

You give me fever...

It started with the little guy having a high fever last Friday, over 103. But, only for the day. After a last minute trip to the doctor, thank goodness we got in, we discovered it was nothing. At least the doctor said ears look good, throat looks good. Hmmmm... He is getting some new teeth, and boy it takes this child FOREVER to get teeth!!! Well, he had the fever for the day and Saturday was just cranky, but daddy got to deal with that, as I was off to crop for 14 hours!!! Yep, that's right 14 hours!!!! It was AWESOME! I was in heaven. I got 9 pages done, and finishing up a journal for a girlfriend of mine who is leaving for Italy tomorrow.

And, now the older son has a fever. Not too terribly high, but I didn't send him to school today. He's running about 101.5, but I don't want to risk anyone else getting anything. He's had an appetite, so who knows what's going on or around!

Anyway, I've been trying to create. I've created a few things and posted them on SISTV under my profile. Check them out!

Been a while...

I haven't posted in so long. Not sure why, just busy I guess. It seems like I'm always doing something on this computer, so I'm not sure why I haven't updated this. But, with 2 young boys, it's not very often you get a free moment. I've been trying to catch up on scrapping/creating. It's taking a little bit. My oldest boy starts "school" (Mother's morning out) next Tuesday, so hopefully my younger one will allow me to "create" during his brother's time away. BUT, for some reason, I'm thinking that's not going to be happening. We'll see. And, there will be "chores" to do around the house, which I'm hoping will be a bit easier, since I will only have 1 set of little hands to worry about helping me. :)

I have been working on a few things. I've made a few cards. Here's a sample:

I've posted a few more on my profile at SISTV http://www.scrapinstyletv.com/portfolio/view_album.php?album_id=VRECENT_2201.

LOVE this website!!! It's FREE to join, which is a HUGE plus! There are SO MANY creative ladies out there!! Make sure to check it out!

I seriously can't believe it's almost September!!! Where has this year gone?!?! We were at Costco tonight and they already had some Christmas things out. WHOA, it's TOO early for that! But, it will be here before we know it! UUGH!!! I love Christmas, but thinking about it now just makes me crazy, thinking of ALL that needs to be done before then.

Oh, I've also added a few things to my etsy site. Make sure to check it out. I've sold 1 frame so far, but I'm hoping that something else will sell. We'll see. Again, so many creative people on this website. It's a bit overwhelming, but SO inspiring!!! LOVE IT!

Okay, so this post was a bit all over the place, but what can I say!?

Back from CKC

I travelled to CKC in Charlotte this past weekend with my mom and met my cousin there. It was a BLAST!!! It was exhausting and tiring, but SO MUCH FUN!! I can't wait to go next year! We took classes, cropped and shopped 'til we dropped (almost literally). It was the first time for all of us, and we've already talked about what we would do differently next time. :):)

It was a whirlwind. My husband was gone for a week for work, he returned, I packed the car and left within 4 hours! Hello and goodbye! After being with the 2 boys, it was time for a much needed break. But, it was nice to get home to see my hubby! I missed him a TON! He's so supportive of me with all my crafting, even when my desk is a DISASTER, like it is now. He keeps subtly telling me I need to TRY and keep it a little neater. I know, I know...you would think it's the first thing you see when you come in our house. :):) It is, man, it would be so nice to have my own scrap space, just like it would be nice to have a playroom and a guest room and a maid and a....oh, hello, I was just daydreaming!!!! A woman can dream, right!?!

Anyway, if you've never been to a CKC, you HAVE to go! You'll have a darn good time. Just make sure there's room on the charge card or buy a lottery ticket!!!
