short update...

oh my goodness its been awhile. sorry :)

i have had such a great weekend, LCOM had a crop, Tanya did a great job putting it on. She went above and beyond any other hostess at a crop ever has...EVER

LOVED IT!!

it was so good to finally get back together with my scrappy friends, it had been too long. no excuses, we need to scrap together more often.

i'm a little bummed that my term on the sketch team is over, i think some of you know what i mean when i say that.

since coming home from the crop i have noticed that my scrap room needs to be reorganized. badly.

i have also decided that my spending has become WAY out of control, that means minimal goodies for the remainder of this year at least. it has to be that way, otherwise i'm going to find myself with no gas in the car, no food in the fridge, but enough bling to cover my entire kitchen table in rhinestones. (lovely thought, but not too practical )

we've had some water issues here, toilet overflowed, and i swear it was not because of poop. apparently the 160 mm of rain we had put a little snag in the septic drainage, so the toilet had no where to empty. that was minor, its all cleaned up.

** however i did go to Canadian Tire to buy a plunger on the off chance that was the problem (pouring rain, nighttime, should have been home in jammies kind of night) and the checkout girl decided to "test" my plunger on her scanner and got it stuck, so i had to get it off the thing, and she said "you're good at that" , what was i supposed to say? so i replied, "its my special skill")

then early this morning i could here keith in the basement swearing, so i got out of bed and found that yet again the water had made its way in, so we were mopping up the basement til mid morning. hope the rain is done with soon for the season, i'm for sure all done with it!

i am on a scrappy high from my crop, and i want so badly to start and complete plenty of projects, lots of LO's, cart loads of cards...you get the idea? i wanna scrap!)

can someone call in sick for me tomorrow? my legs hurt and i want to stay home.

please, come on, i'd do it for you if i could! :)

and then back to the sketch team blog!!

LCOM goings on...

i was just thinking about all the cool stuff going on at LCOM and i thought maybe i better post a reminder. first of all, the sketch team has been rocking out awesome LO's every week, and if you play along, you'll be in the draw for some cool stuff too. (gotta love that right?)

this month is featuring PINK PAISLEE and its is so drool worthy.


the second little bit of news is that they are going to be having a DESIGN TEAM!!!! its going to be so fantastic. how could it not when it has a superstar coordinator AMY!!

i encourage everyone to apply for this, its going to be awesome.

have a great day!

okay so...

amanda left me a blog award on her blog, but i didn't put it up here yet. i hope to do that soon.

i am in a major funk lately (i'd say three or four days) and it doesn't seem to be lifting, anyone have a hole for me to crawl in?

i did manage to make twelve cards on the weekend, all thank you ones, because i figured that is the one kind of card you ALWAYS need.

aside from that, nothing really going on here. king doesn't seem to be finishing his meals lately and he stops walking and sits down when i take him for a walk.

keith and i bought a new microwave last night because the old one beeped constantly and i was pretty sure it was going to burn the house down someday if we left it plugged in. ( i know some people worry if the turned the stove off, i was seriously concerned if we went out and i forgot to unplug the microwave)

big news at LCOM too, amy is going to be the coordinator of the design team!! woot! she'll be awesome at that, great job AMY!

thats all for now, off to work i go.

i'll get there

i've been making stuff, and i like it too!
no, i have not taken a picture of it yet, but i have really good intentions of doing so at some point.

have you been checking out the sketch stuff at LCOM? pretty dang cool, awesome sketches and the girls are turning out some fabulous LO's to go with them!

while you are there, check out the store (especially the preorder section) and get yourself some amazing goodies! (i have been shopping, sometimes 5 times a day!)

i hope everyone is enjoying there weekend,

smiles

CUTE!!!!! mans best friend for sure

how cute are these two?

king loves to chase golf balls when keith is out in the back yard hitting them

good news? well, its news anyway

i got a phone call from my surgeons office today, i have an appointment for the middle of september. i'm hoping he will tell me that i am perfectly normal (however that probably won't happen) but at least i'll be getting looked after.

i guess only time will tell.

thanks for listening
