November Creative Class

The next stamping classes will be on Wednesday November 18 and Saturday November 21. Again the class goes from 7pm until midnight and the cost is $15 for 10 cards. If you can, bring your own black ink pad and adhesive of choice. We will be making 2 copies each of five designs. So 2 Thank You cards, and 8 Christmas cards. Leave me a comment to reserve your spot - or send me an email or text. Don't forget to specify which class. Again, I am no longer a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator...so there is no pressure to buy anything.

Our Creations!

So here is what we made last night: 2 copies of each - 1 fall card, 1 Halloween card, 3 Christmas cards.

Wednesday's class is still on!

Hey there gals!

My stamping class for this Wednesday (7pm-midnight) is still on! Message me today to save your seat. $15 for 10 cards: 2 fall, 2 Halloween, and 6 Christmas cards. In November we will mostly be doing Christmas cards and December will only be Christmas cards. It's going to be a blast! Let me know so I can cut enough paper and have plenty of embellishments on hand.

Tonight's stamping class...

is cancelled. I only had 5 maybes and then I got sick yesterday. Wednesdays class is still on, and next month's classes are as well. I will post dates for those soon.

Creative Classes

Hey ladies,

Do you want to impress your friends or family with some handmade cards this year? Do you need a night out with the girls, no kids, no husbands? Do you want to learn how to stamp and be creative using different techniques and supplies? This is your chance to get some great ideas for cards, scrapbook layouts, and other creative projects. So, don’t miss out! Reserve your seat today. No need to worry if you aren’t crafty. I come up with the ideas, and cut the paper for you. All you do is assemble and add you own personal flair. No pressure, I’m not selling anything but creative inspiration.

All classes are held at my home on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 7pm-12am.

The cost is $15 for 10 cards.

First classes are October 17 and 21: Autumn, Halloween and Christmas cards. Calendar coming soon to the bottom of this page.

Success!

My first ever yard sale was a huge success. I made my goal and more. Granted I had set my goal low, to make myself feel great if I got more. The leftover's were taken straight to the D.I. afterwards so I didn't need to store all that crap. I only have one more trip there and my home will be free and clear of junk. Well...until spring most likely. Now it's on to better and more exciting things. I have a Scentsy party this coming Saturday, open house 2-4pm. I tried to send an invitation to about everyone I know. If you didn't get one, don't feel left out, if you are reading this....YOU ARE INVITED TOO! Come and smell their great scents and view the cute and fancy warmers they have. They have small wall plug-ins, and fresheners for your cars as well as sprays. All the holiday scents are out, and they are wonderful. I will provide refreshments, so stop on by for a great time.

Yard Sale!

Multi-family yard sale at my place on Saturday 9/19 7am until noon. Good stuff: lots of furniture including queen, full and twin mattresses, side tables, coffee table, dresser, recliner. Also clothes, toys, Stampin' Up! rubber stamp sets, Fisher Price Geotrax, and kitchen items, and much more. Let me know if you are interested and would like the address.

First Official Day...

Okay, so today was Gabe's first official day of his last year of preschool (otherwise know as his second year). He was very excited to go. He made sure I got several different photo shots of him this afternoon. I cannot believe that he will be in Kindergarten next year. We moved back to N.O. when he was 9 months old, wow time flies! We'll see what fun antics this year brings. And to all the parents and kids whom he offends, I apologize in advance. I sincerely hope that this apology will not be needed. We are working with his temper and lack of patience for others. But he sure photographs well!

He and Miss Jackie. And for some odd reason he is being shy, which is so not him!

Happy New Bed Day!

We decided to treat ourselves to a new mattress since testing a few in May. And...we chose a King Sized one. It's so fun being able to hog the bed at the same time as Colby hogs the bed. And the best part, choosing new bedding because we only had queen sheets. Girls love that kind of stuff. The mattress is so soft and fluffy that it makes the bed really tall, which is something I was hoping for. We have never bought ourselves a bed. We took Colby's old queen when we were first married, and then his parents kindly bought us a mattress one year for Christmas. But, we had never had the opportunity to test them and pick what we thought was most comfortable. I have been sleeping great since Saturday. It hugs my body and won't let go of me in the morning, or afternoon when napping, or evening when reading and watching TV. Okay, let's just say that since being delivered we try to not leave our bedroom. TV has been moved from the big TV in the basement, to the comfort of our room. Story time has been moved from Braxton's room. Lunch and Dinner for me have migrated to the bedroom. And, usually I read on the couch. Not any more!
Oh, and we celebrated our 9th anniversary this last week. We had two days of eating way too much wonderful food, shopping alone without the kids. Going to the movies and just cruising in the convertible trying to feel younger. I'll tell you what, 9 years has been hard, but worth every minute. We have both grown up and changed in ways, but hopefully we are able to communicate with each other better every year. Love ya, Colb!

Herrs in town.

Our friends the Herr family visited us yesterday evening. They are in town to drop their daughter off in Provo at the MTC.

They decided to make a trip of it and visit a bunch of different people in Utah, as well as stopping by Bryce Canyon. We made the list of people to visit, which I was very excited about. Jen and I became close friends by serving in church together. We had a great time visiting with them, and my boy's had a blast with all there kids. Nothing like food and friends to chat with. Thanks for stopping by guys, see you next time we are in Cali.
