Ok ladies, so sorry I've been so slow this summer, but then again, what's new?
UPDATE on swaps: Recipes were mailed out on Monday. Ruby, yours are in with your CJ which is on my porch to be picked up in the morning (Wednesday) so you should have it by Friday. Liz, I'm still working on your pages, hope to have them in the mail by Friday. After that, I'm DONE swapping for a loooooong time!!!!
UPDATE on my life: Um.... not a lot. I've been super tired. Like more than normal. I can't get myself to get up and do anything!! It really sucks. Hopefully soon I will get a burst of energy! I started back to school this week. I'm doing online classes again, so it shouldn't be too bad since I'm able to be home and do schoolwork.
UPDATE on Business: Well, I have basically had none! I haven't done much of anything! I still have a lot of custom orders to get finished asap. It seems like I've had to go somewhere every day this week and it just takes all of my energy. Hopefully I can stay home all weekend and work! Idid however get a new toy.... the Cricut Expression machine... it cuts very large! ;D I haven't got a chance to even play with it and i've had it for a week now!!! I am selling my old cricut for $125 on ebay if any of you are interested, let me know!!! I have a buy it now on it.
That's it for me! How are you all doing??? It's been super quiet around here.... you all must be busy!!! Hope you're having a great summer!!!

Cool! Can't wait to see the recipes, not that I've cooked anything lately LOL! One of my goals is to boot Dh out of the kitchen and start cooking again. I miss it. He loves it too, so he kinda took over (not that I'm compaining), but I feel the need to create! HOpefully you'll get your burst of energy soon - geez - kids - always draining aren't they  nah, it'll be so worth it in the end!!! Lots of customs - that's cool! That's business!!!! Ooh, the new bug - you'll have to share the goodies about it - how it's different, cool, etc.! I go to work next Monday and Tuesday for registration for the kids and then I'm officially back the last week of August. It's utterly depressing! I just started scrapping again and it feels good. I did some Heidi Swapp cards for a swap, have worked on my altered art blocks and kicked out three pages in the past two days in my 6x12 album. Those have been fun. I saw this cool list - this lady made a list of 36 things to do before she turned 37 or whatever her age was, so i did the same thing, but scrapped that page and made an album out of it. Last night I did a "Let it go" layout - just song lyrics, but ones that have captured where I've been for the past 15 years. It was healing in a sense. I have to go weigh in tonight (grrr - I'm lighter in the am, but my mom wants to go tonight) and then I'm going to work on my blocks - get the wood covered ;-) and then do a couple atcs. Maybe even another page. My mojo is back - I just need a NEW, COMFORTABLE office chair that can withstand me sitting for more than two hours!!!! I have your U of M stuff covered - don't you worry. Actually going to campus to watch my kid dive in the fall and have already done some snooping around off campus. Ah, you'll see ;-) Ok, I just got these rocking things that I MUST go check out....I'm back around more often - hopefully everyone will be back too  |

Not much happening here right now... finished my altered blocks and sent them off. gonna start work on latest ATC -- I am fiddling with starting a Blog. Seems like everyone has one so guess might as well join in huh Thank goodness the MMM have been annouced, that Forum was clogged to the max! I didn't enter but i any of you did KUDOS on having done so -- the competition appears to have been very tough. I didn't recognize any of the names but hen again I dont' follow all the designers that closely (bad me LOL) School starts for my kids next week (same as you Sarah) but football practice has been in full swing for 3 weeks now, I am already tired of smelly garments! this last week or so will be filled with helping out DS1 finsih up some pre-honor English requirements. We're doing the Cliffnote versions of Uncle Tom's Cabin, The Journey and The Grapes of Wrath because he just couldn't get into the novels. I even got them on tape and movie versions to help *geesh*. He is a good reader but I understand him though: when a book doesn't catch your fancy they are hard to read when required. I had won a couple of rounds of girls night out crop bingos on Scrapbooktakeout.com a while back. The had a HUGE grab bag kit clearance (50% off) so I got over $125 worth of embellies (including stamp sets, rubons, paints, buttons, flowers etc) for $40!!! I was SHOCKED at how much I got plus it was all cool form HS, AC, Queen and Co etc... so I am all set there. Em how's that baby bump? Hope you are doing well. Amanda --how are you? I know Michelle is very busy on the new DT (scrapwords.com) she's a member of now. Here's cheering you on! I think I see most of you elsewhere too so just another hello from this board as well ok off to work now (yeah my real job LOL) I'll be back  |

I dont really have much to say. I am doing good, haven't done much scrapbooking lately. Bin busy with Work and Camping and Judo I am off camping this afternoon and get back Monday. This will probably be my last camping trip this year. I am also planning a baby shower for a friend. I managed to make all the invitatiosn and sent them out already. They are really cute actually. I am almost finished the scrapbook I am making her for her baby. I did manage to make an ATC the other day for week 9 but I dont want to post it until I get week 8 done. I am getting so far behind now. Gotta catch up!!!! |

I'm still pretty bla. Though last night I finished 12 pages for a 20 page custom 12x12 album that I had to do.... I have 2 more 12x12 albums left to finish! Hope to get 1 of them finished by the end of the weekend! It's so hot here! Too hot to be upstairs in my scraproom! But I've gotta get stuff finished! I've been behind on my house chores, but things are picking up. Baby bump is growing slowly, thanks for asking Liz :-) I really don't look that big! I'm almost 27 weeks, a week from Tuesday I have another ultrasound and I have to do the gestational diabetes test where you drink that syrup stuff. Ugh. Not looking forward to that! I'm helping my friend with my 1st baby shower. We ordered all of the invitations on ebay. It would have cost a lot more for me to make them so I got some cute ones for I think around $35 for 50 invites including shipping. Not a bad deal! My mother in law and sister in law are planning a 2nd shower.... I didn't really want to have 2, but whatever! I guess I'll have to deal! Hope you all are doing well! I'm still battling heartburn and also some swelling, but that's about it! :-)
