Snow? Sunshine? What?
so i got up this morning and let Princess out and it was snowing. Yeah! got start my vechile 40 min.s later and nothing. drive to work and get to the fruitland exit and it's snowing again. get to work and it stops. then the sun comes out. ???? so no snow. i have snow paper (found it when i was sorting my paper!) i want to use. i want snow. but i was happy i didn't have to drive in it. it's fun until you get to interstate and then the big trucks come by. not so much fun then. and now i only have liability on the expedition. kinda makes a difference!!! lol
so i was sick tuesday and stayed home. just me and chloe. no kids. no hubby. me and chloe, oh and pokey. pokey doesn't get mention very much cause she doesn't have much to do with us, and it got worse when we got chloe. she does NOT like chloe. she's too much a busy body. lol but pokey, our beautiful black and white cat. she is a stray mark found the november after we build our house. so she is about 6 years old. she is a good cat. doesn't tear anything up. comes in a while then goes back outside. she likes it outside more these days, chloe is to blame for that! lol
anyway, i felt alittle better after lunch so i started to sort out my scrapbook paper. i have way to much. i can tell ya what my two fav companies are/were thou. Fancy Pants and Basic Grey. i love to work with Fancy Pants and always buy at least 2 sheets of each if not 4. basic grey, i just like to collect it i think. i ahven't used it on a layout in months. another paper i have quite a bit of is chatterbox. and i love it. i can't wait to use some of the older stuff cause it is pretty to me. and they are coming out with new releases!!! yeah! and another i don't have alot of but absoulutely love is crate paper. and they have new releases coming out!!!!
so i have been busy tring to get my ducks in a row so i will be able to continue the retreats. i have gotten a fed tax id and a friend told me about a place to go talk to about a business tax/registration or state tax id. it's alot of stuff! what i really want to do in a very small scale is start a online store. don't know if that will ever be, but................ the retreats are really what i want to continue. we'll see. what is hard is i don't want to carry or do anything with what hobby lobby has, and that's not a whole lot! and you never know what they are gonna get. anyway, just know i have been busy trying to keep it going and i know april has some things up her sleeve as well. and Rona has the poll on her blog about a kit club, so that sounds like she is thinking too! ya know, when God closes one door He opens another. my good friend Syd sent me a email this morning that i love. kinda goes with the saying i love---everything happens for a reason. here it is:
When your hut's on fire
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island.
He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Every day he scanned the horizon
for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to
build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store
his few possessions. One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to
find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had
happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and
anger. He cried out, "God! How could you do this to me?" Early the next day, he
was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island! It had come to
rescue him! "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his
rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
The Moral of This Story:
It's easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn't lose
heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of our pain and
suffering. Remember that the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the
ground. It just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God.
P.S You may want to consider passing this on, because you never know who
feels as if their hut is on fire today.
Syd sends me some of the coolest emails that really make me think!
well markie has a school dance on friday night. when did she start looking for dresses? saturday. then i had to go with her on monday. then she wanted me to go again on tuesday, but i was sick. so amanda went. OMG. how funny. i wish i would of counted the phone calls i got, from them both. you see markie is NOT the funnest person to shop with. actually, i would almost rather go to the dentist. almost. but she came home with a dress. a cute dress at that! that is why i sent amanda with her. who knows what she would of came home with if she had no supervision. she is a mess. and i knew it would come and it did. she wants to go to her first concert with her friends. friends i don't know from work. i know one boy, she used to go to the babysitters with him when they were babies. but he is amanda's age, i guess 19. but they are going in a group. but the concert is in st louis, actually right across the river at a place callled pop's. i asked about it at work and a couple people said she would be ok, esp since she was going in a group. i will be saying alot of prayers that night, will you join me? lol ahhh teenagers. you know what they say, pay back is $@((. and it is.
hope you have a great day.

i have been working on stuff to get a retreat going. it is alot of work!! but i hope it will work! there is alot you have to do and i'm half way done, but not sure how long this last thing will take thou. but i am working on getting it going. my hope is to have it ready to go by march so i can then i'll have enough time to concentrate on the wedding stuff. i was also thinking about doing something for National Scrapbook Day which is always the first saturday in May. that is getting really close to the wedding, but oh well, bring on the stress!!! lol life's no fun without stress!
so, my friend Linda calls me friday and ask's if i wanna go to cropaparidise. well, yeah i do, but dang this wedding!!! lol i am tring everything to figure out how i could, but i just can't. i finally got amanda to tell me what they wanted to do about food for the wedding. i think this is what we are gonna do. we are gonna do it ourselves. well, sorta. the legion in perryville does awesome chicken so we are gonna try and get them to do the chicken. then i'm gonna see if my mom and mother in law will make asian slaw, then just dump some corn in a heater thingy and some green beans with bacon bits and onions in another and buy some rolls. i think this will work, or i hope it will. with around 350 people, i can't afford much else!!! i am also looking for someone to help that day, keep things filled and such. if anyone knows of anyone who would like to make a extra 100-150 on june 7th, let me know! it would only be for a couple hours.

Hello!
well it looks like a gorgeous day in se missouri. wish i was off. Boy do i need a day to myself! lol wah, wah, wah. that is what i feel like i have been doing lately. whining. so i will stop. markie is on the mend, she hasn't complained about her belly hurting for awhile, but she has been a little preoccupied. i think she is learning alot about relationships and how boys can treat girls. and i don't mean it in a good way. Josh hasn't done anything to Markie (that i know of!) but his brother sure doesn't know how to treat a girl. i think he needs a wake up call.
Amanda and Neil is in Tulsa OK for Neil's school. she called me on the way there and they didn't know which hotel they were going to. huh? and i was suppose to find out and all they had was a fax number. huh? geez. just trust me when i say it was a mess, but they found finally arrived and she said the hotel was awful. lol. been there, done that! lol
so i need some energy juice. some thing to get me going. i wanna have lots of energy. i feel like someone has just drained me dry. i didn't sleep at all sunday night, then last night i slept from around 8 til 630. Mark stayed at the lake with steve. they are to funny. they go roaming around hunting and fishing stores like we do scrapbook stores. that's why mark can't say anything when i want to go to sb stores. but he does anyway! lol
well i got my hair colored again, so the grey is gone. but i have these few that are stubborn, they shine thru. what's up with that? i do not like it!
i'm gonna add a few more blogs that are really cool, check them out!

But honestly, i have met some of the coolest people thru the retreats and crops at stamps and scrapbooks. and i have the bestest of memories of the retreats and crops. but, i know we must move on. this weekends retreat was great adn i had a blast. i want to thank everyone who took any of my classes. i learned alot from everyone and i would not be who i am today with out you all. we will continue on! just may be alittle different is all. please be sure to watch my blog or the small town girls blog for news on that front! i also love that the girls from st louis came down, they are a hoot! i look forward to seeing them in St louis in the future.
Thanks everyone for the prayers for Abigail. i went by the funeral home this morning before the funeral to drop off a memorial donation. i hope i never have to do anything like that again. it is heart breaking. i hugged jessica, she is so young to be going thru something like this. i'm glad i went. i just needed to do something. what little i did. but it was something. Markie is taking it pretty hard. i know it is a good life lesson thou.

Another Sad Day
the day started off good. Markie's doctor appt went great. he wants her to take birthcontrol to hopefully keep the endometreosis at bay. we'll see. but he is sooooo cool. he talked to markie and she understood what he was saying, yeah. then before markie went back to school she got a call from Josh, her boyfriend. His brothers baby girl, Abby had stayed the night with his mom and she, abby, hadn't woken up this mornign and when his mom, joyce went to check on her she was blue and purple. she died this morning. she was born around thanksgiving. Markie took it hard cause she loved abby and would always go over to josh's house when abby was there. the whole family is taking it hard, of course. Joey, abby's father and josh's brother, isn't married to abby's mom, Jessica. Jessica was in amanda's class. they have a son too, trenton, sooooo cute. it's a mess, but the kids are sooo cute and innocent. i feel sooo bad for joyce. she is really heartbroken. i hope she will be ok. please say a prayer for the price/clary family. they will really need them in the days and weeks to come.
well, tommorrow is the last retreat. i hope i'm ready for my classes. i was at the store all day today. well i'm off to zone out for awhile. having nacho's for supper, i'm taking a day off from the diet thing. i can only handle soooo much. and i have to have real food and soda. esp soda. esp soda. did i say soda. yeah, soda.

I Will Not Let
it get to me! ok so i found out today that one of my favorite Scrapbook companies, Junkitz (not just because i was honorable mention in there contest, lol) has declared bankruptcy (sp). sad, sad, sad. Here's a link to the blog where i got the scoop. http://www.scrapbookupdate.com/scrapnancy/. I love this company's product. loved it. what i hate about it is if you say junkitz people say, isn't that the company that has zippers for sb'ing. yeah, but sooooo much more. anyway. i loved their product so much i entered their contest for a designer spot way back in 2004 or 2005. and i won a honorable mention. they might as well said i won, i was on cloud 9. i really was. #1 i accomplished the entry, lol, #2 it proved to me more than anything else that some of the contest are real and honest. (i sure the heck don't know anyone or have enought $$$$$ to buy my way in!). i was totally blown away! any way, just another sad day for my scrapbooking hobby. but i will not let it get to me.
so i am still upset about this jonathan mcclard thing. dang it. i was looking up obit.'s for a friends fathers, and out pops this picture of him. dang it. dang it. dang it. you know i have had a hard time explaining the way i feel about this situation, but you know, him committing suicide almost proves that he wasn't a adult. to me anyway. i just hope he is in Heaven now. done with this.
well i am off friday. guess i will get ready for my classes for saturday. it will be bittersweet. the last retreat. i hope we do it with a bang. a big bang.
gotta go

Hello Again
Just me. who else. what a dreary day. when i went out to my car this morning, it smelled of spring. well kinda. really reminded me of when i went to cancun and the smell and feel of mexico. i love that smell adn feeling. wish i could go again real SOON! but here i sit at work munching on some cool flat pretzels (thanks for introducing me to them Julie, they are awesome!) kinda chillin out. it was a ok weekend. got to scrapbook, which was fun! but a downer was when i heard that Jonathan McClard commited suicide. it brings tears to my eyes. i'm not sure why i care soooo much. i didn't know him. He was in Markie's class for a short time in Oak Ridge. I feel for his Mother. i say a prayer for her often. I know her son did wrong. real wrong. but so has others and they got much, much less than him. the boy in the school killings is OUT only having done a few years, and he is in trouble again. and he killed how many people? sure he needed more time in prision, lots more. I am not saying that Jonathan did not deserve ANYTHING, just not 30 years. he was 16 years old. 16. not a adult, i don't care what they say. i'm having a very difficult time putting in words what i feel. as with anything else, i try and put myself in the victims shoes. what if it had been my son/daughter he shot at, how would i feel? i would want him to pay, to repent, to rehab. not die. not 30 years prision. i remember when amanda was shoved against her locker either in jr high, or high school and how i felt. the girl who did it was punished, suspended. i was happy with that. the girl never did anything else. then when amanda hit a girl after the girl kept wanting to fight her and saying 'come on punch me' (off school campus) and she did. amanda felt worse than the girl she punched! i mean, she really did. i know that is so much less than what he did. uuugghhhh. i can't explain it. i will quit for now. i think i will go to my favorite store, simply a dollar for lunch. that will be a highlight! i love that store! and i will let you in on my goodies i got!
