Kit Club

So I have decided to continue the scrapbook club Rona started over a year. She had alot of fun and so did alot of you. I hope to continue that fun! I hope you will give it a try, as i have lots of fun in store!
I sent this out over the yahoo group and in case you didn't get it, here it is again:
New Scrapbook Club Kit


Since Rona is no longer doing the Scrapbook Club, I have decide to
contine with one. I am excited about this and I hope you are too.
Anyone can join!

Here's the Details!

*The cost will still be $15.00 a month. The first month I am asking
that you pay for that month and a deposit of $15.00, so a total of
$30.00. ($15.00 for October and $15.00 deposit). Then $15.00 for every
month there after. So if you sign up for October, you will pay me
$30.00 and then in November you will pay me $15.00, and so on. When
you decide to cancel, I would like a months notice. So if you decide
to cancel in March, you would still get your april kit at no cost, and
that will be your deposit back. Since i have to order in advance,
this is the way i must do it. If at any time you would like to pay in
advance, that is ok too!

*We will continue to meet at the Riverside Library each month. For
now we will continue to meet the second saturday of the month. I may
change that on special occasions to accomadate holidays or vacations.
Since my husband only gets every other weekend off, i try and do
stuff with him, but not always!

*My plans for product you will recieve for the club are this: I
want to be able to give you enough paper to make at least 2 - 2 page
layouts. For the embellishments, I plan on dividing packages up
between kits. Which means you may not have the exact flower, brad,
chipboard embellie your neighbor has, but it will be from the same
package and equal amount. This is one of the things i think a kit
club is good for. Sometimes when you buy package's of embellishments,
there is no way you can use them all and you end up with 1/2 packages
of embellishments taking up room in your scrap area. And you will get
more for your money this way!! I also plan on having some projects
different months. Of course I like all the lastest and greatest stuff
and that is what i plan on putting in the kits. On occasion, some of
the manufactures have really good sales on older products, and I will
purchase some of their product and use that product in the kits. This
will only be a benefit to you, as you will get more goodies than usual!!!

*As time will allow me (hey, i'm gonna be grandma x2! and may be to
busy sometimes, lol) i plan on having extra's that you can buy.
wether it be add on's to your kit, or another whole kit, who knows,
but i have some idea's i have to get out of my head and onto some
paper, lol. I will try and surprise you month to month.

*I have asked several people (and still have a few to ask! lol) if
they would like to design pages or projects and are waiting for their
reply. You should have several different idea's each month to choose
from.

****So are you ready to sign up? Good. Here is what you need to do.
Let me know by emailing me at cyndesharok@hotmail.com (please put Kit
Club in subject line) or calling me at 573-382-1444. You can either
pay me by paypal or personal check. To get in on the October Kit, i
would like to know that you are interested by tuesday, September
30th. But if you decide after that date, please call me as i may have
a few kits that are still available.

I am really excited about this opportunity and hope to see many of you
at the crops. I know it has been a couple months since i cropped and
i am looking forward to getting back in the swing of things!

Just a Quick Note

A Page in Time in Dexter is having their Crop for a Cure again this year on Oct 4th. It's 25 bucks and it is well worth it! last year we got lunch, supper, drinks all day, snacks, a tshirt and drawings! Last year me and Penne met up with Mary and Angelia there and had the best time!!!! Some of us are planning on going again this year. I think it would be cool if alot of us went! i know she usually has a large crowd and i think it said on her website that she is only taking 125 this year. let me tell ya, there was at least that many last year. Call the Dexter store at 573-614-4777 to reserve your spot! let me know if you are going and want us to get some tables together!

Have a great day!

Craziness!

LOL! that has been how i feel lately! I am doing much better since my last post and better than i have been in the last couple weeks. Markie is doing good, she is going to school and not complaining much! yeah. it's about time after 12 years. lol she had her ultrasound on monday and she is 13 weeks with a due date of march 1. hopefully dr morton will keep it at that date. the earlier the better. she is feeling ok, wants to eat all the time. and she is eating better. had to make her soup the other day. in the middle of summer! lol my mother in law was nice enought to make her chicken and dumplin's too. yummy! amanda is doing good. she is at 32 weeks. we'll have a baby boy before we know it!!!!

so i am cleaning out amanda's room and trying to get all my scrap stuff together so i can go thru it and get ready for a garage sale. i think we're going to have one at my mom's house in jackson. i just need to ask her! lol. she usually don't care.

A long time friend passed away this week. He was a friend to many and i'm not sure he knew a stranger. Harold, or Big H as we knew him was one of the nicest guys. he'll be missed by many. rock on Harold, rock on.

well, hello there.

sorry i havent' been around. i don't have internet at home right now, gonna work on that this week. works is filtered. so i'm very limited. lol

but i have other things to keep my mind busy. Amanda is getting bigger and bigger every day. she is doing good.

not sure how to put this, so here goes. (good thing you can't see me, cause i'm gonna cry) My daughter Markie is pregnant. she is only 17 and a senior in hs. we had hoped to kinda keep it quite for a few more months just so she could at least have a few 'normal' months of her senior year. but thanks to some very chatty 'do gooders'. oh well. it has been a roller coaster of a few weeks. thanks to my friends that have listened to me, let me cry, helped me, drank with me, called places for me, ect, ect. lol. it is all so confusing, but we are doing our best. Markie has become a very good liar, adn that is something i am having a VERY HARD time with. i would rather be punched in the face than to be lied to. adn she continues to do it even though i have proof. lets just say it will be a very long 6 months. i have told her that i will help her and make her senior year as normal as possible as long as she quits lying and she tries to help herself. we'll see. we've (well i) have been busy trying to figure out insurance adn stuff. she doesn't quailfy for medicaid, but she is under both mine and marks insurance, which is great. lets just say she doesn't have a clue.

we won't talk about the boyfriend. this was my one of my worst fears.

scrapbooking has taken a back seat. i was wanting to start a scrapbook kit club, not sure now. not even sure about scrapbooking.

Two Days in a Row!!!

wow! ok so all the sneak peaks has me all hyper. geez. it's only paper and stuff. yeah right. lol so if you want to feel the same way, just take a look at the new fancy pants designs website. here's the link. http://www.fancypantsdesigns.com/store/index.php?main_page=featured_products&disp_order=1&page=1

8 pages of awesome goodness. i want it all. and my favorite? don't laugh, but it's the ball ribbon. it is the coolest! i want it in all colors imaginable. i do. but i don't always get what i want, lol. i can't wait to find out when this stuff is shipping. and we are planning a fall retreat, and i can't wait.

i haven't seen some of you in a while. hope everyone is doing good.

opps, i'll be back.

Hello

where has the time went? we went camping the first week in July and since then the time has flown by. i worked everyday last week adn will this week. no weekday off. yuck. i'm a 72 hour person, so that means i get one day off every two weeks, but not this pay period. i was suppose to be off this friday to go to CHA, but that is not gonna happen. i just can't swing it, that wedding. lol since this store is a 'no loans' kinda store, i have some limitations. lol. so i have decided to just order what looks like the coolest new stuff that i can see on the internet. let me just say, there are some pretty awesome sneak peaks out there. i have made a list and have been checking it twice. the list that follows is my most favorites so far!

Pink Paislee-- i just love this company. i want it all. so i have selected a few i think i must really get, but i want to know what you like too. so go here:

Crete Paper--haven't seen it yet. i'm sure i'll have to have it all

My Little Yellow Bicycle--There new lines are totally awesome. it is almost my fav!

STudio 8--awesome new papers and teh dinosar line is my favorite! (ok, 2m onths ago i would not of given it a second look, but ya know, a grandSON changes all that! and it's soooo funny, i was at a garage sale and i bought the cutest onsie with dinosars on them. lol. oh, it's a WHOLE new world!)

Had a Great Time!

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!!!

I Scrapped!

and it was fun!!!!

after the crop on saturday and looking around willow traders site and looking at all the layouts Stormy got done on the challenge she was doing, i got inspired. and i scraped. and scrapped some more. and it was fun. i waited till the last day of my stay-at-home vacation to get inspired. uuuggghhhhh. oh well it finally hit me. yeah!!!

well it's off to bed for me, this work stuff is to much!!!!


I'm loving this fancy pants stuff!!! the glitter transparency is so much fun! and the paper is easy to work with. love it!


The new Teresa Collins paper! awesome and fun! the brad in the middle of the flower is a cool heidi swapp bling brad. i am in love!!!!

some more Kaitly paper. now this isn't a second page to markie and syd's page, but it would look great next to each other in my scrapbook, when i get a scrapbook. lol amanda and sydney after the semo parade

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
