I've Been Tagged

I don't usually do this, but I'll give it a shot today.

1.Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog...Chelsea

2. Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself (on your blog, we all want to know them).

Hmmm, that's a toughie. Are they supposed to be interesting? LOL!
1. I am totally addicted to chocolate. I always loved it, but since having my babies, I NEED it.
2. I am currently enrolled in my third college. I graduated from bible college in '94, library tech college in '96, and am taking my Early CHildhood Ed. through correspondance. I love learning!
3. I currently have 2 different colors of ink on my fingertips, and will probably have 3 totally different ones tomorrow!
4. I cried when reading Charlotte's Web to my daughter.
5. One of my favorite movies is Earth Girls Are Easy. Google it. LOL!
6. I work in the same building I was born in.
7. I am one of the most forgetful people I know. I can remember names and faces from 30 years ago, but forget almost everything from day to day. It's amazing that I don't forget I have kids. ;)

My Young-uns

Thought I'd finally get some updated photos of the kids, so I took them to Chelsea's to play in the yard. :)

New Pics!

I had Shannon take these this morning. I'll have to try and figure out how to edit them so they're side by side with my 'before' shots. lol!

Finally, some layouts!

After working on cards, a wedding gift, and notecards, I finally got to do two layouts last night. "Love Actually" is a movie title challenge I did, using the 6 new colors from Stampin' Up...

"Girls' Night Out" I used the paper pack 'Outlaw', from SU! This was when we went out to belatedly celebrate Chelsea's birthday.

Is that a pig flying by my window?

:) Yes, that's real.

First party!

Yesterday, I had my first home party for Stampin' Up, and only my 2nd event ever for them. The stamp club I took over wanted to take the summer off, so I haven't gotten much practice standing up in front of people, demonstrating. I've gotten a lot of practice ordering though. In fact, I think I've become an expert. LOL!

I'm sure my spending will level off eventually. I've decided that to help in that area, I'm going to give up the store. While I love having access to all the goodies, it's costing me a lot, and half of my customers have moved away. So for the next little while, everything's pretty cheap until it's gone!

These are the two cards we made yesterday, the butterfly curls up in real life, sort of 3-D...inspiration I got from the gallery of Splitcoast Stampers. I'll throw a link in here later if anyone's interested in checking it out.

Back to my old hobby for a while!

After getting a bunch of new stamps and papers, I've started to catch up on making cards again. I need to, I sell them at Sweet Nothings, and I think they've sold most/all that were up there. I'm on a roll! My style is extremely simple, but I like them. :)
