the kids got their first "snow day" of the school year today. we knew before we went to bed last night, so there really is no reason why i should be awake at 7:35am... i told them yesterday that if they got a snow day, they had to stay in their rooms all day and pretend like they weren't here so as to not mess up the peace and quiet i am used to during the day. somehow i just don't see that happening...madison is awake now also, and already has her snow pants and boots lined up by the back door.
i know i'm stuck in the house, so i'm going to clean the kitchen and make a nice dinner tonight.
if you're out and about - driving to work or anywhere else - be safe on the roads. take your time...you'll get to your destination soon enough!

whoops...my bad...
i know i said i'd post the day after class...but sometimes life just gets the best of me, and there are not enough hours in the day to tackle everything i'm supposed to get done.
with that being said, class was GREAT!!! i was so nervous - which is so unlike me - but as soon as my "peeps" started arriving, i fell right back into the swing of things. seeing students from prior years put me totally at ease, and we had a great time. the "newbies" were a ton of fun, and i'm looking forward to the next class - which, for the record, is scheduled for wednesday march 10th and wednesday march 24th. the same cards will be featured both days, but we're giving you two opyions to better fit your schedule. don't forget that you need to call scrapbook tree to sign up (323-2888)!
i have been working on cards non-stop...between the cards for the store and the cards for the website, i'm running low on juice in my coconut :) registration for the card kits for the website runs until the 22nd of this month, so be sure to reserve yours soon (www.ifthecardfits.com)!!
i'm panicking about the impending snow, but i did a TON of running yesterday so i wouldn't have to worry about leaving the house for the next few days. i'm seriously hoping the weathermen are wrong!!!!
have a great day!

first class tonight!
tonight is my first class at the Scrapbook Tree, and i'm excited and nervous all at the same time! it's been a while since i've taught, and i'm hoping i can fall right back into the hang of it. i'm looking forward to seeing former students as well as making new friends!!
i'll post tomorrow and let you know how it went :)

groundhog day
i swear...if the groundhog sees his shadow today, i'm going to follow him back into his hole a beat him with a baseball bat...I WANT SPRING!!!!! i know we have totally dodged a bullet as far as winter/snow is concerned, but i am REALLY ready for some warmer weather!
madison's 8th birthday has come and gone...and i still find it hard to believe that my baby is growing up. she did get the magic bullet for her birthday (thanks nancy for telling me to go to kohl's!), and has used it every day since. we still are planning on having a little party for her this coming weekend, so the celebration is not completely over yet!
i spent the weekend cropping with the girls at Scrapbook Tree and had a great time. as usual, i got next-to-nothing done, but it was fun just the same.
tomorrow night is my first card class at Scrapbbok Tree and i am very excited :) i'm looking forward to seeing some of the people i have taught in the past, as well as bringing new people into the "loop". just for the record...the next card class will be a general themed one, and is scheduled for march 10th and march 24th - we're giving you two dates (same cards both dates) to better work with your schedules! call the store to reserve your spot 323-2888.
that's all for today...i have a busy one ahead of me, so i need to get motivated!

on a "magic bullet" mission
today i'm on a mission to find a "magic bullet".
i'm sure you've seen the infomercials...this thing is like a chopper/blender/food processor all in one. madison saw the infomercial a few weeks ago and decided that this is what she wants for her birthday. i swear...this kid LOVES infomercials!! she is convinced that everything she sees is going to work exactly like they do in the demonstration. her reason behind wanting the magic bullet is so that i can make her slurpees with it, and also so i can chop up cheese, melt it, and make her nachos. i explained to her that this would really be a gift more for me, but she doesn't seem to care. i also explained to her that it costs $100.00...and she reasoned with me that i would save money by not having to go to 7-11 to buy her slurpees. it's the only thing - besides overalls - that is on her birthday list. so...i guess i'm looking for a magic bullet! i wish she'd have asked for some cool attachments to my kitchen aid stand mixer...
i also need to take care of some other errands today...stop by nancy's to drop off card kits, run to get envelopes for my card class...the list goes on and on! for a week with nothing written on the calender, it sure seems as if i'm spending a lot of time in the car!
it's hump day, and the week is half over. looking forward to the weekend, because i get TWO nights out cropping with the girls!!!!
have a great day...and if you know where i can find a magic bullet at a reasonable price, please pass it along!

behind...AGAIN!
i know, i know...i'm behind on blogging. actually, i'm behind of EVERYTHING that's important, and some stuff that's not-so-important. i guess i should quit trying to make excuses and just say that some days i just don't have anything of interest to say.
the kids had monday off, so our weekend had an extra day in it...and who doesn't totally love that?! i spent friday and sunday working over at Scrapbook Tree, and i loved it. if you haven't visited that store, you most definitely should. and, seeing that that is going to be the ONLY store around that is still open, you don't have much of a choice; i promise you won't be disappointed! the store is NEAT, CLEAN and CHOCK-FULL of scrapbooking goodness!!! and don't forget....i'm back to teaching card classes - the first one is a valentine one and it is scheduled for wednesday february 3rd at 6:30pm. call the store to sign up (586)323-2888. my plan is to add some other classes on the calender...they just haven't materialized yet! i will keep you posted.
also...registration is open for the february card kits!! visit www.ifthecardfits.com to sign up for yours!!! these cards are TOTALLY different from the ones at the store!!
i have to make a trip today to get one of my nails fixed...seems i'm a little "rough" on the acrylics, and i've already split one in half. that means i have to get out of my pajamas and put on something more appropriate for leaving the house...
on a more difficult note...please remember my father in your prayers. most of you know that he has been battleing cancer for some time. things have become worse, and the cancer continues to spread. he is starting chemo AGAIN today...but this is the last option available to him...please pray!!!
off to make myself presentable....

facebook addiction
i swear....facebook should be deemed one of the seven deadliest sins...i CANNOT keep myself off of there!!!! i have spent the last FOUR hours upgrading and rearranging my farm on farmville! my family is ready to stage an intervention :) if anyone knows of a support group i can join, please pass along that information!!
i plan on spending some time now trying to find my phone...i seemed to have misplaced it. i know it's here in the house because i was using it earlier...but now it's no where in sight. wish me luck!!
i'm working tonight at scrapbook tree, and am excited to be doing so! it's going to be hard to work while everyone else is cropping, but i'll nose my way around and try to soak up some great ideas. other than that, the weekend is FREE...and you know i love that!
enjoy your friday :)
