Teacher Appreciation Week.........

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week at our school. I 'm room mom with another mom and we have the BEST teacher ever. I'm sure I have bragged about her before. She also taught my son 2nd too........5 years ago!!!! Anyway we have been putting some fun stuff together for her: Monday was The Queen Ocelot crown and wand - i know her well and knew she would be a good sport and where her Crown, and she did!!! Today we gave her Hydrangeas - her favorite flower. Wednesday will be a jar full of DARK chocolate also one of her favs. Thursday i scrapped a cute picture for her it reads "Thank you for teaching us to shine!" Friday we are giving her a Nordy's gift cert. and a BJ's gift cert.

I know she would be happy with anything but we put a little extra out for her. She is so awesome and goes above and beyond. Sometimes i will pass the school after 6 at night and see her car still in the school parking lot. She is so devoted to our kids and we want her to know how much we appreciate all she does. So, a little reminder if you haven't already.....thank you teacher, even a simple card will let them know that they are appreciated.

My Scrappy Weekend's Work..........

I Love Pismo..............

Well, I'm back. Spent the weekend in Pismo with the girls.......did what we always do - shop, eat, scrap, laugh and shop some more. Visited a scrap store up there (forgot the name)- the owner was super nice. We talked shop a little and i browsed.........but was good and bought nothing, can you believe that??? We always stay at the same place right at the beach near the pier. The weather was incredible!!!! Read out on the patio (Jodi Picoult- "Harvesting the Heart"), watched the sun come down over the water, so relaxing. Got nine pages scrapped, not bad for someone that can take FOREVER to do one page. Since it wasn't just a 24-7 scrap trip i think i did pretty good over all.............really loved the pages i got done too. I will share later. Oh, and have to tell about this great store. We found it in Morro Bay and I fell in love with it. Just look at the name. All the Iron was 50% off...i tell you i could have spent some serious money in there but controlled myself.

Well, hope your weekend was full of sunshine and good times like mine. Tomorrow is Monday so make it a happy one!!!!

WOW - look at that hair................

OK........so you are probably wondering why i am blogging a picture of myself on graduation day, right???? Well, tonight us girls from The Scrappin' Table took our super terrific boss, and friend, Michelle out to a surprise dinner - and we pulled it off too. She had no idea - hee hee!!!! While enjoying dinner we were chatting about scrapping photos from our past and then the subject of big hair came up - well here ya go girls is that some hair or what - and that make-up????? I just couldn't bring myself to put my prom picture here.....I'll share that with you another time - or not????

Of course i should be doing a hundred other things right now but i forgot how great it was to look through old photos. I've been wanting to pull out some old pictures and start scrapping those - this was a good way to get me going. Now - how do i scrap that "hair" picture????

Tonight was too much fun ladies. Hope we can do that more often!!!!!

Congrats to the new Leads.............

My Concert Buddy................

Would you just look at those crazy girls............those were our younger concert hopping days.....94' to be exact!!!! Check out the buckles and the boots..........we were just a "little bit country" back then. Too much fun............14 years, i can't believe it. Time really does fly when you are having fun. I feel so blessed to have a friend like Sonja in my life.............even now, the two of us out enjoying each other's company, kicking back people watching and singing with Elton John.........we went to see him last night at the Honda Center.........he always gives a great concert. Don't you just love those songs that even if you haven't listened to them in years you can still sing every word........that's Elton John for sure!!!!!

Sonja, my concert buddy, my shopping buddy, my coffee buddy, my everything buddy........I love her!!!!

Playing catch-up.............

Wow......it's been a week since i blogged - and i thought i was doing so good. Well, let's see if i can catcha' up a little:

Vacation plans are going good...........with the help of some sweet friends i think i have everything set just waiting for the hubby to confirm that he got the date change on his vacation request. Looks like we will get two tickets out of those miles we were going to use for Hawaii.........so pleased with B of A for returning those to me without a fuss!!!!! Hope to confirm everything this week and start making my reservations and such...........which i had no idea i even needed - thanks CP and ML for all your tips!!!!

Room mom stuff is starting hit in a big way...........door decorating, teacher appreciation, teacher b-day, carnival and more.............i have a great co-room mom and we will knock all that out NO problem.

Oh, see the cool pics of my son..........he joined his football team last weekend for a trip to a UCLA football practice where they got to meet and talk with the coach and some of the players.......it was very cool. After their visit to UCLA they rushed back home just in time to make most of his baseball game. Dad dropped him off just in time for him to be up at bat...............and would you believe while my hubby was parking the car our superstar hit a homerun. Talk about guilt-i wasn't there to see it either. Of course the one game i don't got to my big guy hits one out of the park..............so sorry i missed that bud - but Mom already knows how AWESOME you are!!!
