Stampin' Fun

I was invited to a Stampin' Up workshop yesterday. I didn't know what to expect since I was told that this was only the 2nd workshop the demonstrator had ever done. Wow, was I surprised, she was so organized and fit everything into a very small bag and made it look so easy. There was even a stampin' virgin there and she actually sat with her and explained everything to her as she was making her projects. So sweet. I will definately be attending more of these if she decides to do more than one a year. Speaking of projects, check out what we all got to make....

My Prize!

So if you read any comments from my counter project post, there was a very motivating one for me. Ms. Ellen said she would send me a prize if I got it clean. Yippee I got my prize in the mail and look what I got......

Wow Look What I Got...

As you can see I got a whole lotta stuff. Thanks to my MIL for the X-Mas money and Stampin' Up for Sell-A-Bration. I got my markers finally, and yes, I finally got my Riveting set, YAY.

Progress

I have made progress but am still working to get the entire counter cleared...

My Latest Project...

...but obviously not finished. Why do I let it get this far? I really don't know. I think that I am horizontal surface challenged. I will do anything else in the house to avoid looking at or even attempting to tackle this counter, to include toilets and I don't do toilets. I save those for my husband.

And oh by the way... Bailey has finally lost those two front teeth that had gone so astray and were looking like real beaver teeth. For those of you who did not see them, the new teeth were coming in and had released the old ones from behind and were pushing them out towards the front, a real site to see, sorry I did't get a picture. She lost them one month too late. I so wanted her to be able to sing "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two front Teeth". Oh well maybe with the next one. Anyway now there is a gap in front so big she can fit her entire tongue through.

Alright, Alright, Alright

Isn't that a song? Anywho here I am. No I have not fallen off the face of the Earth, nor have I merely disappeared. I just had a very busy December and have been busy on the computer with other things. Tom returned home for a short time in December and while he was here we went to Winnepeg and enjoyed the Children's Museum with the kiddos. Bailey had her winter recital for Dance. Then driving two vehicles, because Tom was headed to Alabama on the 2nd of January for another 7 weeks, we headed to Wisconsin for the Holiday Season. After many Christmas celebrations, a wonderful New Years night out with old friends, and other occurences we are happy to be home and safe. My sister-in-law was rear-ended before Christmas (a minor fender-bender). My Dad was also rear-ended on the Interstate Christmas Eve morning as he was venturing out to do some last minute shopping. His truck was totaled but he is OK. Tom sliced the top of his finger open. My StepMom burned her hand. Then my nephew's friend's parents were killed in a car accident. So like I said before we are happy to be home and safe. Here are some pics of our adventures. Enjoy and Happy 2007

New Template

OK, so since everyone else changed their templates I decided to follow suit and change mine...hehehe
