busy, busy...

First things first, here is another little teaser for New Moon. Getting excited, I'm just sayin'!!!

Griffins is winding down, we probable have about 3 weeks left and it will be big part of my past. The scrapbooking department is just about wiped out, very picked over now.

"She Scrapbooks" is coming together quite smoothly. It just reinforces the fact that "Now is the time" and we are headed in the right direction. I have been getting a ton of emails asking to be put on our email list, so happy about that. Also been getting a lot of phone calls about very excited scrappers who cannot wait for us to open and that means so much. It's so nice to know that y'all are just as excited as Stephanie and I are!!!

School gets out June 3rd and that is rapidly approaching. Bre and I are going to finish up at Griffins and then chill out and enjoy the rest of the summer.

I do have a July retreat planned and that has already sold out-thanks girlies-I really appreciate all of your support and love each and every one of you. Planning the projects for that right now, all I will say is lovin' Heidi Swapp product!!! But all of you already know that so I'm sure it is no surprise.

Right before the retreat is CHA-Summer, so excited for it this year. I have been going to trade shows for ten years now and I think I am almost as excited for this one as I was for my first one. Can't wait to get the orders started for "She Scrapbooks!"

It rained for a solid week and I think we have more on the way. I wonder if it is ever going to be sunshiney again??? I love the rain, but even I am getting a little tired of it now. Hope everyone has a safe week.

anticipation...

I love it...
I cannot wait...
I'm so excited...
exactly 6 months
from today...
I will be sitting
in a theatre
with my BFF's
seeing this movie!


and the countdown begins...

tonight...

Dancing with the Stars final is tonight, this is the couple I hope wins. Cheryl and Gilles. They are amazing and Gilles...well all I can say is...he definitely knows how to work it. I really like to other two couples as well, but when these two dance you just get lost in it. Who else is watching?
edited: I cannot believe they didn't win, I am a little miffed at the outcome. Shawn and Mark are good, but I thought Gilles and Cheryl just swept us away when they danced. Still love the show though. Just not quite understanding how they didn't win!!!

random post...

Life seems to be speeding along and blogging has taken a back seat lately, but i hope to start doing better with it starting now.
We have had so much going on and life changes, I just felt like I needed to catch my breath.

Griffins is winding down, it seems so odd, I have spent 12 years of my life in that building, working, making friendships, being a part of something. It is so surreal to me that come the middle of June it will be gone, and it will just be a empty building.

As Griffins is winding down, I am finding myself very excited (almost to the point I cannot stand it)
about the future. I am totally immersed in thoughts of "She Scrapbooks", sometimes it is all I can think about. I cannot wait for this new chapter of life to have it's time. I know this is going to be good, just one of those feelings when you know. That is what "She Scrapbooks" is for me.
Stephanie and I have been talking lots on the phone in the last couple of days, and she is feeling the same way, almost consumed with the thoughts at times. We are both on the countdown and EXCITED.

Yesterday I decided to play around in photoshop and try to figure a few things out. I spent hours just playing around, reading tutorials, and creating this and that. The new banner is one of those things, what do you think??? It might stay up for a little while, but I think with this new found joy of photoshop it will be different soon.

I also want to send a shout out to Kim, Congratulations, we are so proud of you and happy for you. A official Law school Graduate. Wow.

I will be back soon, I have a few things I have been working on and want to share, just need to finish them up.

more dance pictures...

Big day...

Today was the 8th grade dance. The first dance Bre has attended. She went with her BFF Rachel. They looked so beautiful and so grown up. I cannot believe we are here. She has less then a month of middle school left and then we are headed to high school. More dances, more growing up and I fear boys will come into the picture.
I will be updating tomorrow on what I have been up to lately hopefully sharing some more pics.
