What's UP!


Hey ALL!

I had a chance to go home last week to Birmingham (where I actually have a home). We went to check on our house because we got a call that we had no water in the house and that there was a bad smell through out the house. Ummmm....huh? My house isn't even three years old yet! That is not what you want to hear! The water problem was fixed easily, but we had to stay at a hotel the first night...bummer. But the funky smell was a WHOLE 'nother issue. I can't even begin to describe that mess. It was truly a mess. Let's just say I will be returning to B'ham in a few weeks to decide if a new fridge is in order. Even though my house is in B'ham, my home is where my family is. It felt foreign to be back in AL. We could not wait to get back to Florida.

I am taking my first scrapbooking/card making class EVER! I am taking a card making class at ScrapHappy on tomorrow night. I can't wait. This chick is doing the class and she is THE BOMB! She gets a ton of her stuff published and I want to know what she knows. I will post my cards tomorrow night after class.

I am about to become an Embossing Junkie. I want everything embossing. Make sure you check out the Thinking Inking videos by Two Peas In A Bucket. They are awesome. You can find them on YouTube.

Thanks for stopping by.

Recap

I went to north Georgia last weekend and had a ball at the Scrapbook Cabin. The ladies that joined me had a ball. We scrapped, learned new techniques, and I finished my anniversary album from 2 years ago. I was so ready to finish the album that I nearly came unglued. Fortunately my friends stepped in and did my last 5 LOs. It changed my attitude completely. What I discovered on this trip was that I am never going to a FUN crop with goals! Never again. I want to use weekends like that to be creative and let my MOJO flow. Remember that, Girls. On weekend crops, allow yourself to enjoy being creative. Don't put pressure on yourself to do 100 LOs.

What I loved most about the weekend was that I spent time with my friends. We ate good and laughed all that weekend. The cabin was extremely nice. We put the Michael Jackson Tribute station on and danced brought back some of those 80's dances! (The cabin has Sirrus Radio and surround sound.) I am looking forward to next year. On our way home we stopped at Archiver's and I finally bought a Glimmer Mist and the new Basic Grey June Bug. I wanted to buy everything in that store. .....EVERYTHING!

Upon returning home I picked up MyGirl's best friend from Georgia. They have been best friend's for the last 4 years and I can see them hanging out the rest of their lives. Needless to say, I have been chauffeuring teenagers all week. Not to mention, MyGirl has Volleyball Camp at 7am every morning. We have been going to bed late and getting up REALLY early. No sleeping in this summer.
