CHALLENGE-12/29

Are you up for a challenge? My CTMH friends/consultants have all decided to take up the 365 days of scrapbooking. This was featured in the Creating Keepsakes magazine this month. They want you to buy their kit but we are going to use the photo storage pages from CTMH. This challenge is to take a picture everyday in 2009 and scrapbook it at the end of the week. All you have to do is print the pictures, insert them in the photo storage pages, create a journaling box, and voila-you've scrapped 365 days worth of pictures. I will be posting my layouts on Saturdays to my blog and will be linking the other consultants' pages also so you can see what we come up with.

If you are in my club and decide to so this challenge, please send me a quick email to let me know you want to participate. I will put everyone's name into a drawing for every week that you participate. Bring your pages to club and I will put your name on a ticket (I will only do this if more than 3 people decide to do this). For every week you complete you will earn a ticket. The prizes will consist of stamp sets, paper packets, gift certificates, etc.

So are you up for the challenge? Remember please contact me as soon as possible. The challenge will begin on 1/1/09. So get your cameras ready!

12/29-January Club layout

So here is the January Club layout. We will be working on this at the retreat which is 1/16-1/18. I wanted to stamp on it but couldn't figure out what stamp set to use so I opted not. I bought lots of embellishments for everyone to use. Some new stuff out of the new catalog. I'm hoping I like it after I get pictures on it.

12/25-Merry Christmas!!!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! We had a blast even though we were up at 5:00am!! Griffin was just way too excited. He even went to bed early without being asked!!! Taylor loves her cellphone. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of me because I looked like someone punched me in the eye (it feels like it too). I was playing a computer game last evening when I rubbed my eye and thought wow that really hurts. Low and behold I looked in the mirror and my left eyelid was pink and swollen. I woke up this morning with my eye swollen and half shut worse than last night. As I am typing this it does feel a little better but the swelling has moved from the corner of my eye to the outside corner and under my eye. I thought of going to the ER this morning at 6:30 but decided against. I don't think it's pink eye because I don't have any discharge. So I keep putting on a warm compress once in awhile and it does feel better. (The more I am on the computer the worse it is feeling though.)

We're off shopping tomorrow. I promised Griffin a new winter coat and he could've used it the other day when it was -6 degrees with a wind chill of -21 or some crazy thing like that. I hope we find some good deals.

So here's our tree and the kids before they opened their gifts.

Have a good weekend. I hope to post some layouts before the end of the weekend but we'll see.

11/21-Some artwork

Here is a note board I made for my club girls. For some reason it won't let me flip the picture. Hopefully I'll have more artwork for you by the end of the weekend.

11/21-What's New?

So this is what's new. Hard to believe last Friday it was 60 degrees outside. We have about 8-10 inches and still more to come.

11/5/08-Long time

So it's been awhile since I posted anything. Nothing really new going on. I've been sick since Saturday with a cold so I really haven't felt like doing anything. The most I did last weekend was laundry. The weather has been just beautiful. It's been 70 the last few days but it's suppose to start dropping again by Saturday it should be our normal November weather.

Hope everyone has a good Wednesday!

10/13-What a wonderful weekend

So this weekend we went to the Cross Country Invitational. We had such gorgeous weather (see picture).

Then we went to a couple pumpkin festivals on Sunday. We went to Peak N Peek (a ski lodge) and rode the ski lift and checked out their arts & crafts and car show. Then left there and went to a pumpkin farm in Waterford. I miss Finney's so much. It was free and there was always something for everyone. Waterford was ok but we had to pay to get in and it was oriented more towards kids. Not a lot of fall arrangements and no gift shop (like Finney's). The kids had a ball at both so that was worth it. The pictures at the top are from the ski lift. These pictures really doesn't do the colors justice. (I can't get them larger sorry).

Have a great weekend everyone!
