Memorial Day

Frank just took Katie up to the high school so she can practice skating boarding in their parking lot. Hopefully she will return intact with no injuries! It was just about this time last year that she broke her arm FOUR DAYS before we left for vacation. Totally messed the entire week up because she was in a lot of pain and could do nothing!

When they get back Kate and I are going to go pick up my mother and aunt and go out to the Chadds Ford Winery Festival. There is bands and good food and tours of the winery. And for those of us above 21 you can enjoy wine tasting. Never been there before, mom has and really enjoyed it. Too bad it is so stinkin' hot, I am also hoping that we won't get rained out. Frank is going to stay home an relax! Lucky him. I love those days when you have the house to yourself.

It is going to be a busy week even though I am only working two days this week, Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday Katie is going to Six Flags Great Adventure with the middle school chorus. I HATE HATE HATE amusement parks but she really wants to go. It just sucks that I can't go. Then on Thursday I am going with her to Hershey Park where her middle school band will be performing for the third year. It is a fun day, when the kids are done their performance they get to hang out in the park the rest of the day. Then on Friday is the school's field day! AND last but not least Saturday is our All Day Crop that I host.

Well, I better get moving. I have to pick up my mother at 11:30 and I haven't even gotten out of my pj's yet!

Back to Work

Well, its Monday morning again. The weekends go so darn fast. I never accomplish half of what I want to do. I rarely find time to do anything for myself. I really wanted to work on my albums this weekend, but I didn't get one free moment to do so. I am anxious to play with my new Cricut too. I am going to a workshop/crop at my friend Debbie's house on Wednesday night. Deb is Creative Memories consultant and now a good friend too. I have been cropping at her house for more than 5 years now. Then I am going to an all day Disney theme crop at memory lane on Saturday. I am little nervous since this is my first crop at a LSS and I also will know NO ONE! But I like to think I am pretty friendly so I won't have any problems making new scrapbook friends!

Mother's Day 2007

I am enjoying a nice quiet morning on Mother's Day. DH went to Dunkin Donuts and got me a nice big coffee. I am still in my pj's at 10:15 and just relaxing. Although I do have to get my butt in gear soon. I have to run to the Acme and get some stuff for Katie's lunches for the week. Then I am off to visit MIL and then finally my mother. I am giving her the album I did of her Arizona pictures. I know she is anxiously awaiting it!

Here is my "baby" Kate with my great-nephew Osiris. My baby is growing up on me!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!

Another Great Crop

Yesterday was our monthly crop and it was great of course! We had a full house. I did more socializing than scrapbooking but that's okay. I still need to get the Arizona album done by mother's day. With Katie away at camp this week I am really hoping that I will have more free time to work on the album.

Speaking of Katie, I am waiting for her to come home from the first leg of her camping marathon. She should be home any minute. Then the race to get everything ready for tomorrow begins! Hopefully she had a good time. The weather was kind of crappy this weekend, at least Friday night and Saturday night were, today is pretty darn nice. I am hoping that they have nice weather for school camp, because the cabins only have screens and are not heated, nor do they have water or electricity in them, YIKES!!!

I made my own Spinny Thing!

I saw the Clip It Up online and knew I had to have one! Then I saw the price!!! So as I was reading one of the many scrapbooking message boards I go to I found a link to directions on how to make your own. So I gathered all of the supplies I needed and last weekend I did it! I think it came out pretty good. Total price for supplies including paint, $22!!!

God Bless our Troops!

It's Saturday... Wooo Hooo!!!

It is finally Saturday! Crop day. I am meeting Jean at the church at 9 to get ready for a fun day of scrapbooking with all of the ladies. I got all of my stuff together last night so I just have to throw it all in the car and go. I am really looking forward to today's crop. I have a big project that I need to get done. I am trying to complete an album for my mother for Mother's Day. I printed all of her pictures from her trip to Arizona in February. She went with her boyfriend (gulp!). He is okay. It is just weird to see her with someone other than my dad. But as long as she is happy, than that is great.

I am missing Katie already. I dropped her off at church last night. It was the meeting place for the camping trip. They weren't supposed to bring their cell phones so I haven't heard from her. She will be home tomorrow afternoon around 3:00. Then we start the mad dash to get everything washed and repacked for the 6th grade camping trip which she leaves for on Monday morning. Now that one is going to be a tough one for me. She will gone for an entire week with no contact! Ugghhh ... she has never been gone that long and has NEVER been gone where I can't speak to her every day! It is going to be hard. On the other hand since I won't have any homework to help with, or places to run her to every day that should leave me with more scrapbooking time!
