Christmas Class........

Well, i have a new class up at the store..........Mini-Book in a Tin......a little something to hold your Christmas memories. I say mini book but really it's not all that mini...........i hope you'll come join me at the TABLE.............

a scrappy day.........

So Today i did this and that but mostly i did these!!!! I just love the new journaling cards TST got in from Prima - aren't they cute. I had to find some old pictures of my little guy - wasn't he so adorable (will, he still is but just look at how little he was). Played with some yummy pink paisley too - love the cupcake. Then off to TST for the night to work on a Christmas banner.......i'll post that later - still got some work to do. So nice to see you girls!!!!!

Fiska-FUN............

Saturday was the super fun "Fisk-a-Friendzy"............Cheryl did an awesome job putting this together and i just want to thank HER, Fiskars, and all that contributed to this fabulous day. I recruited 3 new fiskateers but only 2 could join me and our table was full of crazy fun!!! Sonja, Sylvia and I sat with some great gals............Gina, Trish, Mitzi, Shawan, Daniella and Melita!!! I Got to see some familiar faces (Elena, Stephanie, Jennifer) and connected with some new ones too. We did a great make-n-take from one of my favorite scrappy gals Candice and of course came home with lots of goodies.........fiskars is so generous and they always make sure that we know they appreciate us crafters & fiskateers. Look at Sonja..........the big winner. Sylvia won too!!! I'm a little bummed that i didn't get more pictures......at least one of our table friends - we had so much fun!!!

Of course the day was a little clouded............with the fires and other sad news from a dear sweet hard working friend. I was enjoying my day as i was saying a prayer for All..............and still am praying!!!!

Thanks again Cheryl (& all)..............you out did yourself friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my little Brownie........

Just look how cute she is. This year we decided to give Girl Scouts a try and she is having a blast. I love it too........everything they teach the girls is so great and since our troop pools from 2 different schools she is making some new friends too. We just finished our first fund raiser but the very popular "cookie" sale is just around the corner.................so if you need any girl scout cookies you know where to come ;)

7G goodies................

OK......would you look at all the FANTASTIC stuff i came home with from my 7 gypsies event - this isn't even all of it......some of it is tucked away in that AWESOME antique cigar box we each got. And hiding in the back is the very cool photo carousel that i have been dying to get my hands on....i can't wait to play with that. We had a great time and everyone was so nice!!!! We got 3 great classes, plus a bonus jewelry class (this is my favorite bracelet right now) FYI - you might see a few of these fun things at the store in the near future so watch out for some 7 gypsy fun coming your way.

A Witch and a Soccer Super Star......

a hard loss............

Well, last night was my son's last official game with Pop Warner football. For 4 years we've been a dedicated football family. Football 24/7 from August to November and we love it!!! I can't believe it's over and to end it like this was so hard. These boys had only lost one game this season making it into the play-offs and on their way to another shoot at the Orange Bowl. We played Yorba Linda - a tough team (the team we had our only loss too) but the boys were ready to win this one.............in the beginning of the game, maybe the 2nd play our quarterback dislocated his shoulder.......out for the rest of the game. Total worse case scenario..........not one that we were quite prepared for either. Our backup QB came in and did a great job..............but Yorba Linda played hard and with the loss of our first string QB we were unable to get the win. Watching these boys - crushed with tears coming down............my heart just broke. They had a great season and should be proud but it was a hard loss!!!!!!!!!!
