Well I really don't need to be here right now, I need to be packing I leave for NY Wed. I'm very excited, I've never been. Been spending all my time trying to clean for my MIL to watch the kids here, but I did get one page done. There is no paper on this LO it's all Lace ribbon and silk, the picture is even on fabric the flowers are hand made and sewn on as well as the beads.
She looks so peaceful.

I love it when my opinion counts. It makes me feel important, even though I'm not and it might not have been my opinion, it was someone else opinion about something I have, none the less something I have, not made, has been sent to a scrapbook company at their request for possible manufacturing by them in the future. I just love it when companies actual listen to their customers.

Sometimes it amazes me what makes me happy, I paid $2.78 for gas today and was thrilled. Came home and my son was ready for work early. But I never realized the stuff some of us take for granted daily, the fact that we have a car to put gas in or that we are lucky enough to have a son, even everyday things like some one to say I LOVE YOU.

Well it has been an exhausting weekend, but I did get a lot accomplished. Sat. I weeded the yard, it needed it very badly, it had been about 6 weeks since I had done any of it. Lets just say one of the thistles grabbed hold of my hair and wouldn't let go. Good thing DH came along with a shovel and not a camera, although it would have been a hoot to scrap. Then in the evening I went out with the family to the movies and dinner. I still have some sort of rash from one of the weeds. Sunday, I just cleanned the bathrooms, with a house full of boys that's a job, then around 3 I figured I'd paint the family room. I never did after fixing the leak in the roof, not something to decide to do that late in the afternoon on a Sunday, lets just say I needed more paint so after work on MOnday stopped of for a quart more got it home and it was purple, didn't look purple in the store, but put it on the ceiling and it was purple, so back out to the store to get more during rush hour in Sterling Heights construction mess, I think they are just digging up the roads to screw with everyone now. Well the painting is done and DH wants to know whats for dinner?!?

Atleast I got to play with the new Basic Grey stuff today it came in along with, EK and 7 gypses should be in tomorrow.

Now every muscle in my body hurts so I think I'm going to call it a night.



By the way the room is fig, looks more like chocolate. Tim picked out the color.

Well, what fun we had last night, I love getting together with friends. Monica you win. I know it's only paper.
There was lots of laughs, secrets shared. Talk of kids and laundry, in which Drew is still complaining about not having clothes clean, and does know how to work the mahines, yeah right. He says I'm afraid I'll break it. Funny how he can figure everything else out, he is a teenager and they seem to know EVERYTHING, but working the dryer.


Back to the picture, notice she has everything in one bag even, that just doesn't seem right. After this we hit another store, but I think she onlt bought one item there.

We are on Teresa's blog again, with a new sample of a class she will be teaching at the store. http://www.junkitz.com/designers/blogger.cfm?UserName=Collins if you are interested please contact www.papertales.com Which reminds me I need to tell some people I signed them up, Krystn you're one of them.


Time for some southern education with a definition:

Addled: Confused, disoriented, as in the case of Northern sociologists who try to make sense out of the South, "What's wrong with that Yankee? He acts right addled."

So could you tell that it was a true MONDAY on my last post? I guess my finger was a little heavy, no I was NOT drinking at the time.
Well today we got a big box from Prima, I got all excited and the noticed it was stuff that was ordered in Feb. Some I had and some I just had to have, sad the stuff I had I bought back in May because who knew when I'd actually see them again in the stores, I am not a patient person, yet they still sit on my shelf un-used, it seems like I do that a lot.

Paper Tales has a new class coming up Oct. 1st. It's a photography class, this will help everyone take better pictures from any camera. And we all know your LO's always look better with a great photo, I'm taking the class I really need to know more about how to torcher my son's with the flash.

Well today should be a wonderful day, I get to spend time with friends shopping, and dinner.
The extreme heat has finally given way to some cooler air. Tonight we get to enjoy each other's company and look for any new stuff that might be in the stores since CHA.
