Well where do i begin? lol Yesterday i had a great time. just a laid back day scrappin' with some of the coolest people! there were only 9 or 10 of us, but it was sooooo much fun!
The Red Barn (not to be confused with the resturant in fruitland) on hwy 61 is almost perfect for some crazy croppers for us! let me tell you about it! There is only one thing wrong with it, but i think it is something we can over come with a little thought. it is perfect in size for a all day crop. Heck, we've decided we can do a weekend cause there is a big room upstairs with a bed!! i'm not sure the landgrafts rent it out all weekend, but i'm gonna find out! there is one big room down stairs, another little room off the back and a full kitchen! yep, stove refrigerator, and microwave. and two bathrooms!!! that is important! so now for the one thing that wasn't that great. the lighting. and that is VERY important. but there was very little. very little. once i got there i realized this and called nikki and she brought her table lamp that she uses in her own scraproom. and it worked great! so for the next crop we're gonna see what we can do. now we know the problem, we'll find a solution!!!!
so we've got our thinking caps on and we're ready to get scrapping again! i'll post what i got done yesterday a little later. i think it's still in the car! yep, i was very tired when i got home, to tired to bring my stuff in! but i had soooooo much fun!
Now it's time to get some work done around here and get ready and go to a family reunion.
have a great day!

Sometimes I Just Don't Understand
what i was thinking. ok so i go to this site my 'womans world' tells me to go to for coupons. i sign up. and say it's ok to send my email addy to their email list. WHAT? WHY THE H*(( DID I DO THAT? geez. i don't even want to image how many additional emails i get a day. i can't tell you what all i've won. i'm not really sure either, since i DON'T OPEN THE EMAILS. ugghh i must find this site and remove my addy. sometimes i just wish i could back in time for just a instant, hit myself in the head, and go on. so if by chance you have emailed this week and i have not gotten back to you, please email me again. and make sure you put something in the subject line i will recongize.
rant over.
I will post a picture of my car soon. penne, it is a four door. can't go to wild ya know! and debbi by the time more grandbabies come, i should have outgrown this phase in my life and have a bigger car to haul all the babies around! but right now, this is toooooo much fun!!! and markie BEGS me to let her drive it. lol almost daily!

Hello
lol. i hate doing a title when i really have nothing to put there. i think i've said that before. been a little busy or busy doing little. one of those. been feeling kinda blah, think there is something going around work. just a real tired feeling and puky kinda feeling. i worked everyday last week adn i have to do it again this week. yuck. but then i'm off again for a FIVE day holiday weekend! yeah! it finally fell right with mark's crazy shift work where we'll get to spend the fourth of july camping. yeah. and it's our first camping trip this year! dang, that is not right. we've usually been 5 or 6 times by now. the wedding got alittle (ok a lot) in the way and a little thing as almost $4.00 agallon gas gets in the way too. lol
speaking of outragous gas prices, i finally bit the bullet and traded in my beloved expedition. i loved that thing. but it was just not practical anymore. no one rides with me adn it got like 15 miles (on a good day coasting down hill) a gallon, so it's gone. and in it's place is a nice new (or new to me) 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. it has a sunroof, leather, cd player, heated seats, climate control for both seats in front, remote start. and i love it.
I'm getting exited about the crop on saturday. I can't wait to see my friends! and we're gonna have kits if you have the need to buy some. Check out Penne's blog (click on her name on the right) she has a cute kits for cards. (edited from cars to cards, thanks penne) very cool. Rona is gonna have some kits too. and i hope to have a few! i'm thinking i'm getting back in the swing of things. i'm feeling the itch to scrap!!!! yeah! well it's time to go home. have a nice evening. i have to go help unload pavestone we bought at their auction this weekend. yeah. lol

Small Town Girls Crop!
I FORGOT to post this. duh. sorry. but hopefully you got the email nikki sent out.
Small Town Girls Crop
Your Small Town Girls have decided to host a crop!!! This will be a simple get-together-and-crop-for-fun kind of thing! This is gonna replace the Classes we were going to do. Time and life got in the way, but don't fret, we are cooking up something great for fall when all the craziness of summer is over!
So......
No classes, no make & takes, no frills - just hanging out, cropping, eating and talking.
We have a small hall reservered for us on Saturday, June 28th all day - starting at 10am and lasting until the last scrapper falls :-)
The hall is located on Highway 61 about 3 miles north of Fruitland - a big Red Barn (don't worry - it's been remodeled!) on the right side of the highway.
The cost per peson will depend on how many show up - the building is $40 per day and we are just going to ask for a small donation to cover that cost.
Food and drinks will be pot-luck and bring your own. Bring snacks and stuff to share and your own drink
s (or drinks to share...LOL!).
That's it! Nothing fancy...cheap and fun...We just want to get a bunch of us together to crop and hang out!
Please email me or Cynde to let us know your coming or if you need more directions.
Thanks a bunch and we hope to see you there!
and i've already got several that are coming, and we need more! you can email me or call me 573-382-1444 if you want, or if just stop on by, we'll be there. don't forget to bring some food and drinks if you think you might get hungry or thirsty. There is a kitchette in the building too!
I can't wait to see my scrappy friends!!!

survival!
well it's a week after the wedding. we survived. i have been off all week. i have really enjoyed being off. i wish i could go part time at work. but with the economy, there is no way. oh well.
so the wedding was awesome. friday was busy decorating the hall went smoothly. we has lots of help and everyone was great! i throughly enjoy doing all that. the planning, the exacution (sp) of the plan, the ohhhs and ahhs, lol. it was cool. rehearsal was good, we forgot to tell the minister (my cousin) and the pianist (our friend who is amazing!) that we were going to start a hour early. oooppsss. but it was all good. we practiced a few times without and once they got there, it went great! all the girls and guys (25 total) were awesome. couldn't of asked for more sweet and fun people. Neils family is FUN!
saturday went by in a blur. i need to write it all down (guess that is what i kinda am doing now!) so i don't forget. went to the hall to help with the food. there wasn't much to do, open cans of beans and corn and season it. get sodas ready. lit my floralites (these things are the bomb!!! some have stayed lit!) and made sure everything was cleaned up and ready to go. went and got my hair down by the amazing alana (alisha's super sweet sister). stoped by estes for a quick sandwich, poor boy who helped me, i told him i just wanted a sandwich, anything to put food in my stomach, lol. i know he thought i was crazy!!!! then off to the church. it went by in a flash! the church was pretty, the ceremony was perfect and the lil kids did great!!! it was kinda cool to be in the same church me and mark got married in almost 18 years to the day before. our anniversary is the 2nd. pictures went great, awsome photographer! the heat was just to much. with the heaviness of amanda's dress plus being pregnant, amanda decided not to go the park. they went to tractors instead and had a good time there, i am told! lol they had a a van/bus take the wedding party around and that worked out great. it was funny, amanda asked me if it was ok if they went to tractors. i laughed and said, um, you are married now, you don't have to ask me!!! lol. the reception was great. the halle looked great and i had them set up the hall for 350 people and only expected maybe 250-275, but there wasn't many empty seats! the food was excellent. Marks cousin made the mashed potatoes from a mix and i bet NO ONE KNEW that. they were good! grandmas did the corn and green beans (i seasoned some! lol) and perryville legion did the amazing chicken. it is really good. we had many, many compliments on it. the beer flowed, and flowed thanks to the awesome bartenders Amanda and Jared. they were great! i truely owe them!!!!! I had the best time with my friends. It is the best feeling knowing you still have these amazing friendships after 20+ years and you can still dance the night away with them!!!!!! lol. I hope everyone knows how much i appreciate everything they did to help us make this day AWESOME. i will not name names, i will forget someone, not on purpose, but just because i'm me, lol. i will post more pictures and when you get tired of them, let me know!!!!

Wedding Pictures
Thursday, May 22, 2008
2 week countdown
til the wedding. it has come very quickly. everyone asks if i'm ready. how the heck do you know? lol. i'm not sure if i have thought of everything. but we'll see. i'm sure the last week will be crazy. i am off the whole week, so that is a good thing. i'm gonna work on some more stuff this weekend. amanda got another fitting for her dress and the seamstress is a miracle worker!!! she took out the zipper and put her shawl thing in the back and made it a lace up back. it looks better than before! hopefully markies will be done soon. it is sooooo pretty on her. and her tan will look amazing! she has went tanning 5 times and her tan is beautiful. her skin tone is so pretty, so unlike mine. fair. oh well, i'm going tanning so i might have a little color by june 7th. we'll see. lol
we were gonna go camping, but we didn't book a spot in time so now we are s*o*l. mark keeps whining he wants to go and keeps telling chloe he wants to go. he just needs to get over it! i think i'll tell him to go sleep in the camper this weekend. lol then there is 100 mile garage sale. not sure if i want to even attempt it. just trying to get around may be dangerous!! mark is going and said if i wanted to go with him there was not dilly dalleying around. what ever. i will go by myself. wierdo. but i do like me a good yard sale. lol
well construction has begun on the new heart hospital at work. i have decided that i want a career change. i now want to drive on of those things that has the bucket on them and swings around. the guy outside my window makes it look so easy and fun, i think i want to do it. they have been demolishing our parking lot and tearing up the concrete. way cool. the bucket just picks up the concrete making it look like it weights lbs. i am intrigued! but then someone told me there is no airconditioner or heater in the cab, so i'm not so much into it anymore. but it is fun to watch! and in the new place MY OFFICE WILL NOT HAVE A WINDOW. wth. i have to have a window. i have had one for 12 years. not fair.
Markie has been fun to be around this week. really she has. i think we have all realized that we were all in the wrong alittle in the past. she is my baby and i may have been a little over protective. i do need to give her more freedom. not nessecarly at 1,2,3 or 4 oclock in the morning like she would like. lol i hope it really is over with the boyfriend. he just wasn't right for her and i think she knows that deep down. she is so pretty and smart, she deverse more. we'll see.
the store is hanging in there. i am neglecting that for alittle while. i will be back in full force come june 14, gotta relax alittle! i have some idea's that i hope everyone likes.
well back to work!

Exhausted
I am that. lol. ***warning*** there may be some whining ahead, so you have been warned. lol.
it has been a wild couple of months. i'm exhausted mentally and emotionally. God has really been testing me lately. but i am gonna pass those tests. yes i will. There is alot i want to do, alot i have to do, alot i THINK i have to do, and i'm getting alittle confused at what i should be doing, lol.
Markie has been giving us some trouble. I think she is testing us and trying to see how far she can go. Her 'boyfriend', well lets just say we don't like him. I have tried. really i have. but i can't anymore. and i won't hide it anymore. she knows, he knows, pretty sure everyone knows. i don't like the way he treats her and she deserves SOOOO much more than that. so much more. she just can't see it, yet. hopefully she will. just not sure when.
The wedidng plans are going good. Amanda wanted the minister that performed my parents wedding, but health problems are interfering and now we are looking for a replacement. 3 weeks before the wedding. but we love brother Bray. it is he neatest. I think other things are going good. just a few more things to do. then it's all last minute stuff. Her dress is being altered to fit since she has a poooch. she is 17 weeks pregnant now. she will find out June 2 what she is having. they think i want a girl but i jus thope it is healthy. Markies dress fit except in the chest. she has to take alittle in. no biggie.
the March of Dimes crop went great! I didn't see alot of familiar faces, but everyone was great!!! Cheryl is working on hosting another one in july. i think july 25, but don't qoute me on that. thanks to all who did purchase a/some kits. the photos are on the store blog, url up in the upper right hand corner.
if you would like to purchase a kit on the blog, let me know and we can make arrangements to get it to you. I will post the boy layouts i have in the works too. I was shocked how fun they were to do!!! everyone know how i love my girl pages! lol. no pink on these pages, no sir!! lol
the online store has taken a back burner until the wedding is over. I still hope to attend CHA in july, if only to drool over all the goodies. unfortantly the wedding is taking all m y expendiable cash at the moment! lol
well better get busy. have alot to do.
Have a great day!

Two Days in a Row!!!
Well I went to markie's spring concert last night. one more year then i am done with hight school! i will miss it, but then again, maybe not!!!! my babies are growing up.
I am looking forward to going to poplar bluff this weekend and teaching again. here are a couple of my class layouts.
You Make Me Giggle!
of course it's about Chloe! We are gonna title it using the cricut and then use stickles to make it pop!


This one doesn't have a title. and it is backwards page one is on the bottom and page two on top.


and the last one. Wonderful! i just love these rusty pickle letters!


I also made 6 kits, yes SIX! i am so excited. i hope the ladies like them. it is kinda scary going in and not knowing them and their styles or if they will like you. I guess i will have to behave and not yell at anyone like i usually do. lol. I will try and post pictures of the kits soon. I may have a bunch left!

COLD WEATHER
I thought it was over. i'm ready for sring. where is it at? lol well i had a great weekend. Saturday i went to rona's crop for alittle while and seen everyone. i reallllyyyyyy miss seeing everyone. the projects they were making were just the cutest! i haven't signed up for the club, cause i have to much going on right now. i'm not sure i'm keeping up! lol BUT rona has 3 more spots, if anyone is interested. the kit they did this weekend was a 30 dollar value. at the CKC convention they did this project and just did the book, not the book and box like rona's kit had, and the ckc class was over 20 bucks just for the book!
sunday we did get invitations done, well almost done. lol. they should go out in the next day or two.
last week i got my fancy pants order in. can i just say it is the coolest stuff! i love fancy pants. ahhh. the online store is up and everything i have is in it. it is hard to move around, but if you have questions, please ask. this is the best i could do, since i did it myself. once i am on my feet and have alittle more revenue, i will get a better site. but baby steps. lol. I have one more thing to do before i start excepting orders!! i am so excited!!! I am going to do a email the end of this week, or early next week.
And looks like i'll be teaching on May 3rd, National Scrapbook Day! yeah! i have missed it! A scrapbook store in Poplar Bluff is having a all day crop adn it sounds like fun! For 50 bucks (i'm pretty sure that is how much, don't qoute me. i will find out for sure!) you can crop all day, take 2 classes, and lunch! what a deal! Rona, Nikki, and I are gonna teach 5 different classes. and if you want more than two classes you can sign up for more for additional $$$. I can't wait! which reminds me, i must get my projects done! me and nikki are doing 2 classes and rona is gonna do 1. fun, fun, fun!!!! let me know if you want more info! sounds like a fun road trip to me!

Not Sure
i have a title for this post. I can hardly type it. A friend of mine, terri, that i have worked with for many, many years, Daughter passed out at school thursday. She never regained consiousness. she is gonna be a organ donor. She is Amber Kauffman (sp) and she was 16 years old. Please pray for Terri, her oldest two children, and her family to get thru this very sad, hard time. Amber was a sweet, cute, engergetic girl. she used to come see me in my office when they came to visit before she got into kindergarten. i just can not imagine terri's sorrow. it is hard to understand, and i know God has a plan. we just have to trust him. and i do. but it doesn't make it any less sad.

What a fun, exciting, exhausting
couple of days!!
****disclaimer: there may be alot of run on sentences, jumping from one subject to the next, misspellings, ect. because of pure excitement and exhaustion. read at your own risk. if something does not make sense and you want to know something, just ask! lol****
CKC was really fun. got to see lots of friends and some of us meet up at the mexican resturant in front of the convention center. Very good. i will post pictures later. i didn't take many pictures thou. (not sure what is wrong with me. lol) BUT. OH. MY. the shopping was sooooo crowded. could hardly look at things. and i was surprised. in almost every booth they had page kits. i've not really seen that before. sure some, but not this many. (i'll get back to that in a minute) even the rusty pickle booth. which was awesome. got me some teresa collins stuff, oh yeah baby. that stuff is awesome. i can't wait to order that for the store. man it's cool. Me and Penne also found another brand new company that is awesome. very affordable too. a whole alphabet and 23 shapes self adhesive chipboard for 4.99. and it is pretty! and it's double sided paper. i can't wait to work with it. and oh my. sassafrass lass is awesome. that is gonna be one of the next orders i make. Me and Penne took a awesome class sponsored by sassafrass. and it was a cool class. we learned how to make button flowers. now that is gonna be something i do again. very cool the teacher was awesome too!!!!!! my favorite class, by far. i will post a picture when i get the energy to get the camera out, lol. (i slept til 9 this morning) oh, and i got a katlin kit from create paper. I have been looking at it on the internet and loved it. BUT OH MY GOSH. in real life it is even better. and penne got another kit, can't remember the name. but we'll be working on some examples for kits, either retreat kits or just class kits to sell online. that is another company that i will be ordering from in the near future.
****news flash! (LOL) Fancy Pants has shipped and will be available soon, i hope in the next week**********
ok, where was i.
Piggy Tales was there and was awesome! I didn't get to take a class from them, but Rona did. Can't wait to see what she did. I hope to order from them real soon!
Me and Penne took a mini album class using prima products. awesome stuff. the class was totally full and very fast paced. to get what we got done in a hour, it had to be. it is a really cute project. learned a couple things in there too!!
Penne, Angelia, Phoebe, and I had a great time at the crop on friday night. i got alot of invitations for the wedding done, yeah! It was packed too. and it was alot of fun. there were some vendors there and they gave away prizes. me and Phoebe won some technique tuesay stamps! Phoebe won the 'grand' prize' from them. and there were only three winners! we were lucky!!!! never did find out who sadie was. it was a question we had to answer.
on our way home yesterday evening we stopped at For Keeps Sake. we knew Barb and Nancy was here and cropping. FKS has a new crop room and it is really nice. they have crops on certain friday every month. i'd like to go sometime. those girls are alot of fun! and while we were there, i found some awesome making memories baby paper. to cute! one is stars with the stars cut out. very cute! can't wait to make a mini book. a, um, mother of the mom of the baby, has to show off the baby. now i just need time to work on one. lol.
oh, about the page kits. I was really surprised. they were everywhere. some of the page kits were like 23.00. they were really cool, but i was surprised by the cost. i'll have to think on that alittle.
i really need to get up from here and get some stuff done.
have a great day!

Sunny Monday
finally real sunshine!! just wish we would of had more of it yesterday and it was alittle warmer. but all in all it was a good day. Me and Markie went to cowboy church. mark had to work so he slept. but OMG! Flickerwood was packed. it was awesome. Ya know there is just something about not worrying how you look and being comfortable and going to church and hearing God's word. it is awesome. I have never been one to like to dress up. just rather be comfortable. if that makes me lazy, than i am. lol. I throughly enjoyed the message yesterday. and the music was awesome. just awesome. i'm not good at numbers, but i would have to say there were at least 500 people there. i could be way off. either way, maybe more, maybe less. all i know is that it was amazing. the sermon was right on and i loved it. i've grown up going to a baptist church all my life, and cowboy church is just like what i grown up with. so cool. and to see sooooooo many youth. and i know it was easter sunday and that is the most attended service, but man. it was cool.
I hope you had a just as wonderful day as i did.
today i should get the pink paislee order in. i can't wait. i have been thinking again (i know, that is dangerous) but i am thinking of doing class kits without the formal class. i'm still thinking on this and will get all my ducks in a row before i throw it totally out there. but you would be able to buy them from the online store. it should be getting some items added real soon! yeah!
Are you going to CKC-Stlouis? if so let me know! there is quite a few of us going and we should get together and go out to eat! that mexican resturant is yummy and don't ask me how i know, but they have some dang good strawberry margarita's!!! maybe we could all go before the crop on friday night. i know Me, Penne, Angelia, and Angelia's friend Phoebe ( i love that name!) are going to the crop on friday night. If I remember right i think Sandy R is doing the crop thing too. anyone else??? I am off friday (wasn't so sure i was gonna be or not when we did registration) and i plan on shopping and scoping out product on friday. friday night we're doing the crop. On saturday I have classes. I can't wait!!! i need a me day!!!
so let's all plan our schedules and maybe find some time to get together! Email me!
