What's on your agenda for the weekend? I have big plans to CLEAN this weekend. We actually started last night on the outside. They cleaned up stones, cut back ornamental grasses, burned some boxes and grass, picked up the yard.
Tonight I would like to work on one side of the garage, make a trip to the dump tomorrow morning and Goodwill to recycle old TVs and computers. Hopefully the rain will hold off until we get that done!
Tomorrow afternoon I will be home alone so my plan is to work feverishly in the stamp room. We are getting ready for a FPU garage sale (Financial Peace University) on April 17th at the church. I have two boxes of stamps already to take and I know I will have more once I get in there and clean! I am hoping to raise alot on money for our emergency fund/vacation fund. :)
Sunday we are going to the church for Easter breakfast (served by the men), service and then will have lunch at our home: ham, mashed potatoes, veggie and a dessert. Then I am hoping we can sit down as a family and watch "The Blind Side".

So excited!
I just can't hide it! LOL Leaving today for a weekend out with cousin Carol and the Michigan Minglers from SCS. Novi here we come!
We had to make a name tag and here is mine...made from the big shot, dies and punches. Isn't he cute!? I laminated him so the branches wouldn't break off. :)

Saturday's Workshop
We had a great time Saturday. My mom and I went to the church first for a Ladies Swap & Brunch deal. Picked up three shirts for FREE! Who doesn't like FREE! Had a good brunch of egg quiche, sausage & biscuits, fresh fruit.
Then off we went to Diane's. She made homemade chicken noodle soup (YUMMY) and, of course, her wonderful Mexican chip dish (not sure what ya call it).
She had a great turn out - 9 not counting me. Two were new stampers which was a blessing in disguise since I had not had a workshop in such a long time it made me go back to my "roots" to start with who I was and a little about the company. :) We had a great time and they loved the cards we made. Diane's comment was, "Those are different from the ones we usually make." So true...we usually don't make masculine cards...not sure why but we don't. Anyhoo - she ended up with a little over $200 which entitled her to $20 in free merchandise and a free level one stamp set.
Thanks Diane for having us in your home! We need to set up a day just to play again! OR to do the Simply Scrappin' 60 cards day again. I so enjoy the company of my women friends!

We had such a blast on Saturday! It's been such a LONG time since we have been together...probably since May or June! Wow! This was Crystal's first time but she came thru like a real trooper! We have to give a hand to James who took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese's so we wouldn't have them (and him) under foot! LMBO
This is the card I made as a sample for the girls to make using the Build A Bear set from SU. The pattern paper is in the new Occassions mini in a HUGE pack of paper! The paper is so kewl! We used blender pens and watercolor pencils to color them in.

We will be meeting again on February 13th at Diane's for a workshop. I am so excited as I have not had a workshop since last summer. I am ready and raring to go! Let's fill the calendar girls (and guys)!

This one I showed how you can color with the pencil ON the paper and then use the blender pen to color it in. The other (the girl) I used the blender pen on the watercolor pencils instead.

Time for a New Year and a New Beginning!
This past year has been full of ups and downs, losses and finds. As I reflect on the year it has been a year of great changes and stresses.
I had my surgery on October 7 and lots of changes have taken place since. I ended up two days longer in the hospital and two pints of blood. When I was released my blood count was still way low but the surgeon wanted my body to make up what was missing rather than relying on blood transfusions. Almost four weeks out I got a bad wave of flu, eating hardly anything for that week, then followed that with two weeks of severe sinusitis, which also kept e from eating properly. The pastor and deacons got together the week before Thanksgiving and prayed over me, to stop the extreme weight loss and take away all the doubts , fears and illness that was plaguing my tired and worn out body. The very next day I felt great and have been ever since.
I have lost 71 pounds since my heaviest weight and 47 since my surgery. I also have lost 27 inches, dropping clothes sizes like crazy. I started going to the gym this week to begin the process of working out at least three times a week...and I have body parts that are so sore! LMBO But I know...no pain, no gain.
Anyhow, through all this I haven't made ONE card...and my stamp room became a storage room since Thanksgiving! So I need to take the time to clean it out so I can begin making swaps for the Michigan Mingles gathering in March! I think there are 50 spots or so. Not sure what set(s) I will use yet! I have some of the Sale-a-bration sets that will be arriving Monday!
So what's up with SU!? Check out my website and clink SHOP NOW. Both the Occasions Mini and SAB Mini are on line! And this year for SAB there is a list on the back page of the catalog where you can actually chose items from the regular catty!
Call or email me today to book your SAB workshop! Got the new sets coming and ready to get back on track once again!
Thanks for your patronage this past year and looking forward to your patronage in the year 2010!
CHRISTMAS PARTY WILL BE JANUARY 23 FROM 12-4 PM. BRING A GIFT TO EXCHANGE ($20 MAX) AND A SNACK TO SHARE. I WILL HAVE TWO PROJECTS FOR US TO MAKE!
