I Stand Corrected

Dumb-___, dumb-___, dumb___!! Why did I have to go and open my mouth. I am not bored, I will never be bored, in fact, I don't know what the word means. I hope everyone has a great Halloween, filled with candy and cute little monsters. Began a few pages over the past few days. Should be up and running on the site soon.OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Ramble, Ramble, Ramble . . .

I'm bored! Really, really! Weird huh? I guess when I am not running my butt off, I get bored. Anyone know any good jokes? Could use a few . . . they're fun . . . like dodgeball! No, I haven't been drinking or anything like that. Kinda makes you want to make that "WHOA" face! See Laura, I can make you laugh even when I'm not there. Tell me a story, anecdote or joke to get us all through our day. Thanks guys!

It's a Boy Thing

Ralna asked me to do a page with this paper and it was so easy. I decided to do something I haven't done for awhile . . . I used chalk to color the images. See, the pictures were very light in color, so I had to keep the page light. Seemed to work.

Being Jade

Love the paper. Love the pictures. Fun, fun, fun!!!! Simple, but effective. Ralna made a fantastic page with this paper too.

Sweet

We got the most amazing Co-ordinates Cardstock "Chocolate Box" this weekend. I finally got some of it. (I missed it the last time we got the black stuff in). I used some Riff Raff "Dill" chipboard, layed it underneath and sandpapered it. I added some bling and called it quits. I'm trying to get some MOJO back. It may take awhile.

TB Sanitorium - The Pas, MB

Again, a Page Map. These are pictures of my mom and where she worked when she met my father. Old paper, die cut letters and stuff . . . I just paid off my tab at work. I haven't paid it off since July 26th. No, it wasn't so bad . . . under $100.00. Yeah scraps. Just remember . . . I bought and bought and bought for the past 9 years. Now I have a bunch o' scraps to use up. Yess!!!!

The Petriews

Crazy colors from the 70's. I used a bunch of old paper and Page Maps to do this page. I really haven't done much scrapbooking lately and am out of my groove. I use Page Maps to get my mojo going again. These are my cousins!

He-ll-oooo

Have you seen the movie "Death at a Funeral" (I'm not asking you Laura because I know the answer)? The author brother comes in the house and says "He-ll-oooo" in a way I found quite hilarious. I keep saying it like that . . . I know I'm weird. Anyhow, thought I'd let you know, I finally got that new laptop I've been wanting for so long and now I may be able to get up on here a bit more often. From my bed . . . cool. I need to download/upload so many programs and things which may take awhile, but Jade helped me get on here, so I am happy. I'll get some pictures soon . . . like now! I must go, Jade is on Candy Mountain and I can't handle it. Talk with you soon.

What the Junk?

Well, I just typed all of this "STUFF" on here and then deleted it. It's kinda the way I shop. Today, I typed to get all of my worries out and then deleted it because no one wants to hear my sob stories. I tend to shop the same way. I pile lots of stuff into my cart and then slowly return it and some days I don't buy any of it. But it made me feel good putting it in the cart. I know, I'm weird. Well, I hope everyone had fun at the crop. The staff felt it went well and we had a lot of fun. We tend to have a lot of fun no matter what . . . I was worried about the beans and burritos for awhile; but I think everyone got out of the backroom unscathed. Deb, thank me for deleting the next ramblings I just erased. It had to do with the horse shoes and Johnny Cash. Laura or I will be glad to fill you in. I did this great lesson on how humans are destroying the earth today. I hope everyone realizes that when I ask if you need a bag at the store, it is because I have been informed that it takes 1000 years for a plastic bag to decompose in the garbage dump. Time for reusable bags ladies. I did one page this last week. Yes, ONE! When I get to my camera I may even post it. But for now, I will leave you with this so Lucas can get on the computer. Take care, hope to hear from everyone soon.

Thanks Guys!!

Geesh! It sure was nice to hear from you guys. I have been packing like crazy and moving boxes to my mother's basement, working on Estimating Square Roots when they don't have perfect squares and learning about the Pythagorean Theorem which I did not learn in Elementary School, Highschool or University; but had to teach today. Thank goodness for some prep time to familiarize myself with it. I must admit, Substitute Teaching MAKES you learn curriculum after curriculum after curriculum . . . in other words, you learn a lot. The rain is making me tired and I'm going to head to bed. Thank you for commenting on my blog, it made me realize you guys are really still out there.

"I Am Legend"

Where have all of the scrapbookers gone? I feel like all of my regular scrapbooking friends have disappeared. Part of it may be because I am not at the store as much; but it seems like I don't hear from anyone on my blog either. I know, where are my pages? Well, I managed to do one today at the store. I am moving in December and have been working on moving some stuff out of my condo and that has kept me really busy. Janys and I cleaned the store the other day and that took some of my scrapbooking time up too. I would really like to know where everyone is. I'll try to get some more stuff up on my blog soon too. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.
