I am done!!!


After sitting at my computer for the better part of the afternoon I am done. My back side has fallen asleep but whatever. I am actually giddy with the fact that this is done. I wish life was this easy... a picture of the Easter Memory box as Three Bugs in a Rug likes to call this. You only get to see the outside, you will have to take the class to see the inside or at the very least stop in at Scrapbook Fever to check it out.

Finished!!

I just finished emailing the pictures of my cards for my card class to Bud. I am just tweeking the other photos of the Easter Memory Box and will be sending those off shortly. I finished my class directions for the cards last night but I was too tired to work on the box instructions. So that is the what I will be doing this evening as I would like to have this done before we leave for the coast tomorrow. It is our annual Fordyce Family coast trip and it promises to be fun as usual. I can hardly wait.

I have my car back!!!

Yesterday Sarah and Nate returned my car. It is so nice to be able to drive it again. Not to say that I don't enjoy driving the Excursion but with the gas prices it is better if it stays in the driveway. Sarah bought a new car yesterday and she is just a giddy thing right now. It is a 2006 Suzuki Forenza and gray in color. It appears it will do it's maiden voyage to the coast this weekend for our annual Fordyce Family coast trip. Check out her blog for a picture of her car.
I am finishing my two class instruction sheets and then I have to take pictures for the website do laundry and try to get ready for this weekend. It is going to be a busy week...

Fun, fun, fun...

Spent Friday working on my cards for next months class. Saturday I spent scrapping with my friend's Anne and Camille. Today has been a weird day. I have had a headache and felt strange. You know the way you feel when you have a hangover? Just like that and I didn't drink any alcohol yesterday to feel like this, darn it. Because of the headache I can't concentrate on anything for too long, which means no reading or working on my class stuff. I have to get to the class stuff because I have to have my samples done by Wednesday to take pictures and submit them for the website. Then drop them off to the store because my card class is going to be the first week of March. Gee...

Card class, etc...


Today I did my first daytime card class and it was loads of fun. Mary, Camille, Brenda and a new student Nancy finished the cards in about an hour and half though they struggled with one of the cards. The picture is of the card they struggled with. It has an accordion type fold underneath the flower that looks complicated but really isn't. Sarah and Julie came over to the house we had lunch then they dropped me off for my class and they went to Target. After my class we headed back here and we spent the rest of the afternoon scrapping and catching up with each other. I did my usual and made brownies for the girls. Usually there are some leftover but this time with Mary's help they were all gone...

Busy day...

I spent the morning hemming pants for Sarah, meeting her, Julie and Tami for lunch and then coming home and putting kits together for my class on Thursday. And for some reason right now I am so exhausted. I can hardly stop from yawning to make this post legible. I have an appointment tomorrow to get my hair trimmed then I will be getting the rest of my housework done. Though I would rather do it the way it says on the calendar Lisa gave me for Christmas. "My way of doing housework is to sweep the room with a glance". It totally works for me...

President's Day...


Once again Steve has gone to work when the rest of the staff stayed home. This is the second year in a row he has gone to work on President's Day and found when he arrived that he was the only one who was going to appear. Oh and to fully appreciate this last year he was working for a different company! So he calls me at 8:35AM and says "Guess what?". I can't, it's too early but he repeats the question. I told him I can't just tell me and then he says "I am the first one at work, and possibly going to be the only one." Yep, sure enough in an email sent to him just after the new year that he didn't open was his holiday schedule and lo and behold he had today off. So not to waste the beautiful weather he decided to fly from Hillsboro to Independence to have lunch. He said it was a busy place...
