A few layouts done this weekend

I worked this weekend at the store, and when I was done, there was an all-day crop going on. So, I stuck around and after the creative juices started flowing (which took some time), I was able to complete a 4 pages from a Scenic Route class at CKC and another layout: so 5 layouts in all. I was pretty happy.

The LO about Mr. E's pacifier is the layout I did on my own. The others are from the Scenic Route class. The crop was SO MUCH fun!!! There are some great women that come to them! And, Kim, Angela, Elise, you gals are the BESTEST!!!! So glad we're FRIENDS!!! Thanks for making me laugh so hard!!

Now it's time to say Goodbye...

Why? Because Daddy needs a new office.

Yes, over the weekend, the Disney characters were painted over.

It was a sad day for me yesterday! I was already hormonal and then I had to say Goodbye to this.

So, here are some 'during' photos:

And now it's a beautiful, earthy, masculine green color.

It was really hard to say goodbye, but we're moving on. The boys are

sharing a room, and it's good so far. (Knocking hard on wood right now!) Daddy is happy that he has his own office and my craft space is decent too. Will post more pics of this later!

Wii've been playing...

It's been a little while since I last posted. We dodged Hanna, but we're now prepared for a storm and our garage shows it with a generator and 3.5 cases of water. And, the pantry is well stocked with canned goods! Glad we didn't have to deal with her too much. And, we've been watching Ike, even though he's not heading our way, I'm praying for the people in Texas!

Since we were planning for a weekend indoors last weekend anyway due to Hanna, I wasn't sure what we were going to be doing, except Play-doh, movies, some DVR'd TV shows. But then Eric came home Friday late morning with a HUGE SURPRISE! He bought a Wii!!!! Yes, we are now the proud owners of a Wii game system and it is AWESOME!! Patrick absolutely LOVES it! His faves are bowling and baseball. He's already scored a 202 in bowling. Yes, he's 4 and has beat his mom and dad!! And, now this is the ONLY kind of boxing I like to see in my house.

Truly an awesome gaming system! And, you get a great workout from some of these games.

We've also been doing some things around the house. We moved both boys into one room, and (knock on wood) it's going pretty well thus far. My husband moved his office into E's old room (the nursery), so right now he's working with Disney characters on the wall. I'm dreading painting over these, but he's going to this weekend! I mean how could you want to get rid of them...

I'm working at the store this weekend. There's a garage sale from 7am - 1pm and a crop from 9am-?? P has his first soccer game this weekend, so I'll be there and then off to work. Speaking of the store, Elise has started a kit club and she chose my back to school class to inspire the first kit. It's pretty exciting! Check out her blog and there's more information, including pics of the kit and add-on kit.

Speaking of soccer... I can't wait to see P's first game. I think he's enjoying it. There's only 7 kids on a team and they play 3 people at a time, so everyone gets a chance. The practices have gone pretty well, it's E that we have to watch, since he thinks he can play too! So, that's the CHALLENGE!!

And this month at unKit, the theme is scrap pink! So, check it out!

Lucky...

Lately I've been EXTREMELY lucky!!! While in Charlotte at the Creating Keepsakes Convention, I won mini adhesive felt ribbon from Queen & Co., some chipboard pieces and while in one of the Scenic Route classes I won the entire Appleton line, which is what the Back To School layout is made with at the store.

WELL, when I returned from Charlotte I was on the computer looking at different blogs, which I have LOTS of faves on my computer, and posted a comment on one because she was giving various prizes, and one was from Scenic Route. (I LOVE Scenic Route, can you tell?!?) Anyway, I got an email the other day, and I WON!!!! I won the entire Sonoma line! It's GORGEOUS!! I can't wait to use it!

My mom is COMPLETELY jealous! Sorry Mom, but I told you I would share! :) Seriously, I NEVER win anything, but lately is a different story. However, I think my winning streak is over, as we didn't win the Powerball last night. BUMMER!!! We could definitely use millions of dollars!!!!! :):)

Reschedule...

Well, the Back-to-School layout class didn't make for last week, SO we're going to reschedule for this coming Saturday, 9/6, at A Scrapbook Store. There's a "garage sale" this weekend at the store, so be checking the blog or your email (if you're on the email list) to find out when the class will be rescheduled. Be sure to call the store or stop by to sign up. You gets lots of goodies!!! The actual layouts are at the store if you'd like to see them.

I worked yesterday at A Scrapbook Store and there were 3 ladies who came to crop. It was great fun, and each one of them got lots accomplished. They were very QUIET, which I'm not use to at a crop, but they were EXTREMELY busy working! Good for them! I'm usually too busy talking and laughing when I'm at a crop and don't really get cookin' until after dinner, pretty crazy huh?!? My mom thinks I'm nuts when I go to midnight crops and don't get home until 2am, because Elise lets us stay longer!!! It's just so much FUN!

We're off to a cookout this afternoon to celebrate this Labor Day weekend. Hoping the rain will hold off, but it doesn't look that way. Hope you enjoy your Labor Day!!!
