Act 3...My 5 Whys and Roadblock Busters

The first two challenges this two weeks was to do a 5 Whys and then come up with Roadblock Busters to get "over the roadblock(s)".

Here's mine...

The others are to read two chapters of the Demo Manual and implement a business organization system.

Tonight I put on my desktop organization folders as they suggested and a few more besides. As I begin moving my documents, samples, etc. around into the new folders it should make it easier to become prepared for workshop, classes, etc. Woohoo! Now...the big task...this weekend is to ORGANIZE the stamp room!

HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTEST THROUGH AUGUST 31!!!!!!

Ramblings...

Saturday Diane had a great workshop even though it was small in turn out. We made three cards, using punches and Big Shot dies. Due to a limited time factor (Diane had to leave early) I did most of the punches and all of the die cuts before hand. They loved the cards...simple and cute.

I will need to remake the samples though...I did a "blonde" thing and forgot to take my door prize basket with! So I gave my samples to the winner...who Diane drew...and it happened to be HERSELF! I had mixed up the slips and they were all folded in four so she didn't know...it was not rigged! LMBO I will post the cards as soon as I get them redone. :)

Sunday we had our Smith famiy reunion. Due to the lack of participation we moved it this year to my son's home where we wouldn't have to pay out for a pavilion at the park...last year there were NINE of us! We did have a better turn out this year though most of it was my sister's and my family. :) 26 total this year! We had a blast...will also have to post these pictures later...left my camera at Travis's last night!

Tonight we are going to the church for a preview of Financial Peace University. The classes start September 13 and we are leading it. Oh the joy of serving the Lord! It's an awesome class and I would suggest it to anyone who is getting married, recently married, graduating, going to college, etc. He is a no non-sense speaker and tells it like it is in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

Yippee!

They have one room painted! Now to get the trim up and buy new curtains! :) We wanted white but the only can available at B & G was egg shell white...and I think it looks great anyway...not so bright white.

Don't mind the table...been working on dad's memorial album there! hehe

Friday-Saturday Stamp/Scrap Day

I had one girl come on Saturday...a girl I work with who scraps but hasn't done it in a while. She was in awe of all the stuff in my stamp room. She wants to learn how to stamp in her scrapbook and learn new techiques so I will have to get some on the schedule! :)

I worked on Dad's memorial scrapbook all weekend for the family reunion this coming Sunday. I still need to do my four pages and my sister's four pages along with three or four "family" pages yet. James bought an album at WalMart (I know I SELL THEM!) and an extra package of inserts. I'm gonna have to go back and pick up another package of inserts as I have filled what I have!

I also spent time printing off butterflies pics so I can work on the Red Hats Scrapbook! I know that I am going to be working on MDS to make a book of our trip but need to also add into our group album! :)

Needless to say, it was a productive weekend...now to finish it off and get prepped for Diane's workshop on Saturday!!!
