My Time

More C2R

More layouts I did at Crops2Remember.     This is Taylor, my niece.  Hanna and Zoe, my great-neices.  Remember you can click on them to make them bigger if you want.

Crops 2 Remember day 3

Sunday we had a visit from Lead Fiskateer #2 Cheryl Waters.  Have a few new fiskars things on my wish list now ......

Packing up and going home is always difficult.  Aside from being plain tired from a weekend of excitement - there's just so much stuff to lug around !

Anyway - here are a few more of my projects I finished there.  I'll post even more later. .....

Crops 2 Remember day 2

Well our Stephanie won first runner up in the Queen of the Crop contest.  One vote seperated her from greatness.  However she is now the next in line to the throne.  Way to go Steph !

Wow so much to tell.  We made new friends and just had a great time.  Crops2Remember was a fun time.  Next C2R crop in November ladies !

I got lots of projects completed - but the person who won for most pages done did 63 - how the heck did she do that !

Anyway - here are a few of mine -- more to come and more info about day 3 on the way .......

Update - Crops2Remember

So I've survived day one and part of day two of Crops2Remember.  Having lots of fun !  We did our late late night shopping run to the Red Bee Friday Night.    Bought lots of goodies.  Sleep deprived -- but so worth it. 

Today we went to Timeless Treasures.  They are my favorite store of all time.  So wish we had something even close to these stores near us in Santa Clarita. 

 

Today we got a visit from Stephanie Ackerman of Homegrown Hospitality (now Home & Heart).  She made these really cool name tags for us all.  Love her doodles ! She brought us some homemade cookies, and even did a make-n-take for us.  Fun.

And she is really just the sweetest lady.

I will post some of the projects I've been doing after I get back home late tomorrow.  Now I've gotta go -- we're voting for Queen of the Crop - and I suspect our Stephanie may be in the running !!

Packed & Ready

I am packed and ready.  Leaving first thing in the morning for a 3-day crop in Lake Forest.  It's Crops2Remember, put on by fellow CKU'rs and bus co-captains extraordinaire Jessica Guthrie and Nan Patruzo.   My friends Stephanie and Sandy are stuck with me all weekend - watch out girls !

Check back - I'll try to post photos through the weekend of projects we've done - or fun we're having.

 

Normal, right ?

um - all cats lay on their backs underneath bushes and lick the leaves - right ?

   

Scrappy Time

I started 2008 with the intention of posting all my crafting projects.  It went well through January :-)  But then by February I was already too busy at work.  Luckily for me - I have not done much yet this year, so it will be easy to catch up here.

  This page of my mother was from a PageMaps class at CHA.

And this is my newest great-nephew (and his big sister).  This was a Making Memories make-n-take at CHA.

Ouch Kimba

Oh Kimba that must have hurt.  Just a few minutes after I got home tonight, I hear a terrible smack onto glass.  I look and see Kimba, sitting in front of the window, weaving back & forth like he's going to faint.  I think he was trying to catch a moth.  But Val says maybe we shouldn't have had the windows washed yesterday ............

Not me.....

Even though it looks as though somebody followed me around the office recording me today -- this link is NOT based on me.    Really.

It will, however, give you a good idea of life at the office for me lately.

The last push.....

Those of you who know me know that I've been working way more than any human should the past couple of months.  April 15 is almost here, and there is still just too much to do.  But I do have to give my firm credit for finding creative ways to squeeze every last bit of energy from us this week.

Saturday they left big cases of FRS Energy Drinks in the kitchen, with a sign that said  "this will give you increased energy and improved focus".  Hey - was I not focused before ?   

Today they had a Flavia Coffee Station set up.  (for my croppin buddies - same one as at Remember When)    This will create pretty much any kind of espresso, cappucino, tea, or hot chocolate one could think of.   I think the key here is caffeine.

So - I've got new energy drinks and all the cappucino I could ask for -- hopefully the next few days won't be so bad.   Looking forward to having the 16th off !   Nap time !
