Ya GOTTA get summa these!!

Sean came home from Aunt Nancy's with a BIG bag of these foam letter stickers. I thought...'great...I'll be finding those all over the house until the day I die.' So I put them away in my craft cabinet to hopefully be forgotten about. Well yesterday we were all in the scraproom while Jessi was out with her granmother celebrating her birthday. I was scrapping, Rick was checking his e-mail and probably blogging again (I didn't even go check. Him blogging is....well...scary.), and Sean spotted the letters in the cabinet. I couldn't say "NO...no way you are playing with something that could help you learn!" So...he dumps them out and they go EVERYWHERE...just as I had expected them to ;) He asks if he can make some words on the cabinet door, I say ok...it's a good chance to see what letters he knows and which ones he needs help with. I am suprised to discover that not only does he know pretty much ALL of them...he also is starting to sound out the letters to make words! Pretty cool!! 

Happy Birthday Jessi!!!

Jessi is 11 years old today! 11 years ago on this day I had my labor induced because she was 2 weeks overdue...wanting to make a grand entrance I guess ;) I was induced at 6am and she was born at 1130pm. Needless to say it was a LOOOOOONG DAY! I was rewarded in the end with a beautiful, wonderful baby girl. I was instantly in love. After they brought me to my room and brought her to me, I never let her go the entire time I was in the hospital. Now life is starting to be all about letting go. The other day she told me that a boy 'asked her out' to go to a football game with him....I DON'T THINK SO!! So then she asks me when she CAN start to date. I evaded the question and told her 25. For real though...I have NO idea when I will allow her to date. But I know it won't be happening within the next few years!

Anyhoo...HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSI!! I love you!!!

Preschool Today...Ugh

Sean is NOT doing well with the preschool thing. It's like Kiddie Kamp all over again. The first 2 days he was GREAT...I was able to leave with no major issues...the next week...not-so-much. The first day I wasn't even able to leave as he would throw a HUGE coniption fit even time I told him I was going to leave...so it was easier to just sit quietly in the corner. (which wasn't that bad because it was a short day ...only an hour) The next day I did finally leave after awhile...even though he was having a fit. The 3rd day I was about done with all this BS and talked to the teacher, Mrs. Batty, (the head teacher...not one of the high school kids...lol..that would be silly) and we agreed that from now on I am going to bring him in...kiss and hug and hand him off to Mrs. Batty and leave. Stick a fork in me cuz I AM DONE!!! I don't feel one bit bad about it either. He needs to learn sometime, and when I come to get him, he is happily playing. They say he only pitches a fit for a couple minutes and then is fine. I think a small part of the problem is that their enrollment was so low this year so there are few kids to play with and distract him. One of the little boys that has befriended him is none other than the CHEETO BUTT SPITTER...small world huh? Every day after class Mrs. Batty asks me if I can think of ANYONE else with little kids that could come....and every day I tell her that I already tried with the ones I know of. ;) Sadly, I think the program is doomed with all the school districts starting to have preschool programs. Seems that soon Pre-K will be the new Kindergarten.... which I think is wrong, but I will never have to deal with it so I guess I don't need to bitch about it ;)

Off we go...:::sigh:::

It's a BEEEE-EEEE-UUUUU-TIFUL Day!!

Yes it's pouring rain. Yes it's dark and dismal. But it's a PERFECT day to recover from a VERY busy weekend!! My ears are STILL ringing from the Dierks Bentley concert. They have GOT to build a new auditorium with decent acoustics!

Weekend in review....

Saturday--Up early to help kids get their Saturday chores done. I don't usually help them as the whole point of having chores is to learn responsibility, but Jessi had to be at a Bangor friend's house by 930 as she was going to a wedding with them that was 2 hours away. After Sean and I dropped Jessi off we headed back home to do some more housework. In between chores I mananged to scrap some scrapping in. Just HAD to play with all my great new stuff!! Before we knew it Rick was walking through the door and we had to get Sean over to Uncle Tim's for his sleepover. Then we went to dinner at a Chinese place we had never been to...we were EXTREMELY pleasantly suprised...it may be our new 2nd fav! (Our first will ALWAYS be Panda Garden :) ) I had a REALLY strong...REALLY nasty drink that had me REALLY buzzed when we headed over to the concert...It *looked* really pretty tho ;) The concert was GREAT! We had FANTASTIC seats right at eye level with the stage! AND...we didn't know this...but since we won the tickets on the radio...we also got to go backstage and meet all the preformers!! Rick hit it off right away with one of the guys from the opening band since they were both Vikings fans...so after the show we got to go to the after party and hang out with Dierks Bentley and crew!! Dierks is SO nice!! He said he wished we could all go on tour with him cuz we KNOW how to party :) ROFL....ok....forgot who I was for a second.... ignore the everything after the word 'stage.' ROFL....Actually...we just went home after the concert with intentions to have some drinks and fun...but were both exhausted an had 1 drink and went to bed...lol.

Sunday Tim and Kristie brought Sean home and hung out for the morning for some chit-chat and coffee. Then I had to quickly get dressed because Jessi called ready to be picked up and Nicole called right after that wanting to take Jessi and I out to lunch for Jessi's birthday and then do a little birthday shopping. Jessi had her heart set on a vest (the girl has a passion for fashion...lol) So we went to about 43 stores to find her the *perfect* one! She {hearts} her fairy godmother Nicole :) Of course we had to hit ACMoore too since we were right there ;) I didn't get much, just a couple ink pads for 88 cents and some shrink film for scrapping and projects with the kids. By the time we got home the day was gone!! Rick was still in football mode...so I finished up the layout I had started...then it was time for the Amazing Race! We just Y our reality tv!!  

Weekend snips and scraps

OK so I have said that digital scrapbooking is not 'my thing'...and it still isn't ;) But it IS my friend Mindy's thing!! She JUST started digital scrapping a week ago and is already designing for http://www.digitalscrapbooking.net/storefront.php !! WTG Mindy!!

I made this LO with one of the kits she created this week! Loves it!!

Tonight is the Dierks Bentley concert. Am I super excited...umm...no ;) But it should be fun. I am more excited that Jessi is gone for the night at a Bangor friends' house and Sean is having a sleepover at Uncle Tim's :) I stayed up late last night cleaning my sty of a scraproom. I want to play with my new scrap stuff sometime over the weekend and I can't scrap when it's a mess.

Tomorrow the big plan is to get started on cleaning out the basement!! We are SUPER EXCITED that we have decided to take the plunge and go ahead with finishing it. So the next week or so will be cleaning. Then we are going to stain the concrete floor and waterproof paint the walls. Then we are going to frame in around the furnace and boiler to make it a seperate room with room for storage. THEN we can start 'moving in' down there. Part of my insideous master plan is also to put our living room furniture down there so that we HAVE to get new livingroom furniture ;) I can't wait to have a rec room with a pool table and a dartboard...and AIR HOCKEY!!!!

I LOVE ME SOME AIR HOCKEY!!

Someone should have warned me...

That Joanns is having a HUMUNGO sale!! I went there with the kids today to get Jessi a 12x12 album since her 8.5x11 phase was shortlived and now she has a stack of layouts with no place to put them! Her birthday is on Wednesday and since today is yet another 'no school for Hampden' day, we celebrated with a birthday shopping trip and lunch at the Olive Garden (her choice...not mine...or Sean's ;) ) She got some stuff at Target and some really cute Mary Kate and Ashley boots at Walmart. Then after we ate we stopped at Joann's on the way home. HOLY SALE-O-LICIOUS!!! EVERYTHING scrapbook or papercrafting related is 40 or 50% off!! I got the KI kit (LOVES ME SOME KI!!) I was drooling over a couple weeks ago but didn't want to pay $20 for for $11 :) I got the new set of Glaze pens with all the colors I don't have 50% off. I got a whole bunch on ink pads 50% off. I also got a new white paint pen since I love them and I ruined mine by drawing through glue that hadn't dried yet :-P. Oh yeah...and we also got Jessi's album...lol...she actually got a really cute kit with paper, an album and embellies for the same price as just a plain album...LOVES IT!

So yeah...I was naughty today...get I won't be getting that razor phone for another couple weeks ;)

Scrapbooking SNL Parody

Cheap, quick, easy and FUN!!

No....I am not describing my best friend Nicole (LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL) I am describing the halloween project we did tonight!

You need cheesecloth, glow sticks, white balloons, sharpies and string (we used wrapping paper ribbon)
Put the glow stick into the balloon and blow up the balloon. Have the kids draw a face on the balloon with the tied end of the balloon facing up.
Cut a hole in the the middle of the cheesecloth, place the cheesecloth over and the balloon with the tied end sticking through the hole, tie the string on.
Hang up....after the kids run around with them outside in the dark like maniacs for a little while, of course. To add to the fun...let the dog out too so that he steals the balloon from the smallest child and runs off with it and the child screams and cries while the grown-ups chase the dog praying the balloon doesn't pop because that's the only one we have ;)

Good times, folks. Good times. 

Batman and Batdog

Still together
fighting crime
protecting us all from....fleas??


 
 
 
  

Yay me! :)

I am just TOO excited today and it's only 7am!! Waaaaay back in the beginning of September I entered a 'scrapbooking beauty pageant' at my favorite scrapbooking website. Every 2 weeks we were given a new task to scrap and at the end of each 2 weeks several scrappers were eliminated. When I entered....I was just going to be happy to make it to round 2...when I made it to round 2....I was would be shocked to make it to round 3....and so on.... WELL...I made it ALL the way to the END!! And in the end...I was the 1st RUNNER UP!!!!!

So now the contest is over...my Design Team projects are complete (can't post them yet ;) )....now what!?...lol!! I may just have to scrapbook my own stuff now!

Aunt Nancy

I just got an e-mail from Rick's Aunt Nancy (and our next door neighbor) that says...

Sean wants one of these for Christmas......

LOL!! Too cute!! The kids LOVE having Aunt Nancy (actually GREAT Aunt Nancy to be technical...since she is Rick's Dad's sister) right next door. They ask EVERY DAY if they can go see Aunt Nancy. Of course I only say yes every couple days to save her sanity ;) I don't know WHAT they do down there other than eat candy...maybe that's enough to make her their #1 Aunt :) Or maybe it's how they run over there, but often get home like this... Whatever the reason is...it's pretty cool for them to have such a cool aunt so nearby!!

PMS tearjerker of the day...

Rick just called from his Dad's and told me to download this song and call him back and tell him who it reminds me of.

Whoever wrote this song must have a hidden video camera in our house. For real! Too freakin' cute!!

I suck at darts

Seriously...really bad. And it's too bad because it's actually pretty fun!

Last night we went to a party at Jerry and Julie's house. We had some drinkies and snackies, played some darts and met some really fun people! Unfortunately Rick is on call so he kept gettting paged...and paged and paged. So we decided to call it a night early and go to our kid-free home and enjoy that instead. (<---it took me FOREVER to figure out how to structure that sentence without getting into TMI territory....rofl)

Today I was thinking about taking the kids to Fort Knox, but it looks like Rick is going to be helping his Dad work on the house, so I guess that's not happenin' Sean LOVES Fort Knox and I feel bad I haven't gotten him over there at all this summer! Rick is on vacation in a couple weeks (first week of deer season ya know), so maybe we'll get over there then.

I guess today I'll be scrappin.' I got my DT (Design Team for you non-scrappers out there ;) ) stuff in the mail friday. It's due by the 31st and it's kind of a big project. When I first got it in the mail I was like, "WTH am I gonna do with THIS!!?" (as I do whenever I have to do something 'new') But then I got a great idea and got to work right away (as I also do whenver I have to do something new ;) ) I'd like to get that mostly done today.

I can't believe I partied last night and am up at 7am....thanks a lot asshole trucker who paged my husband at 630 and didn't even leave your number for him to call you back. Dumbass.

Bye Bye Butterflies

We finally got to see some action! This morning we watched our last butterfly emerge and 'inflate' it's wings...it's kinda gross...yet really cool and beautiful all at the same time.

This afternoon was perfect weather to release them. The boy flew right away with the breeze, the girl (that just just emerged this morning) hung out with us for a bit.

This is where we left her out in our meadow...far enough out of the way that she won't be Cooper's afternoon snack ;)

So the Butterfly Project is over! It was very cool, Sean learned a lot and Jessi had a great time teaching us all that she has learned at school about butterflies. As cool as it was...I can't imagine always having all kinds of these projects going as I imagine homeschool moms do. I don't get paid NEARLY enough....lol!!

 

DANGIT...We missed it AGAIN!!

We were JUST looking at it a few minutes ago and NOTHIN'....then I look behind me and there's a butterfly!!!

One more chance for us to see one emerge...but I have a feeling it will be overnight :(

:::sniff::: :::sniff:::

WHY must they create these songs that cause tears to stream down my face as I sit in traffic and look like a complete moron??


----link removed because it's driving me freakin' crazy playing every time I go to my blog. If you wanna hear it go here

Butterfly update!!

One of our butterflies is almost ready to emerge!! The other one is still green....but I would imagine that one will be transparent by the end of the day since they all turned into chrysalsis' on the same day. Today or tomorrow we should have at least one butterfly!!

A Starbase Graduate

Since the beginning of the school year Jessi has been spending her Wednesdays at Starbase. It's a program run by the Air National Guard to teach kids...well...stuff (ROFL) ...ok, ok...I do know. They learned about the bad effects of drugs and alcohol, they learned about several laws of physics, and they learned how to fly a Cessna. How all these things relate to each other is beyond me...and I'm pretty sure the whole program is just military propaganda ;) Today was her graduation day, so I got to go to the base and see lots of hot Army guys....I mean....I got to go proudly watch my daughter graduate and show me what she had learned ;) ;)

They made rockets today and got to launch them.

Sean thought the rockets were pretty cool! Mommy and B thought so to :)

All-in-all...it was a pretty cool ceremony! She did learn a lot in that program, I guess guess propaganda or not....it's a good program! 

Free Hugs Campaign. Inspiring Story! (music by sick puppies)

Love this! Bring on the hugs!

Color me SHOCKED!!

Today was the open house at Sean's nursery school. He is going to a school run by the child developement classes at the local high school. Jessi went there too when she was little...so that's kinda neat :) ANYWAY.... today was the open house and I have been preparing Sean for it all week. He asks if I am going to stay with him every day and I assure him that I won't leave. So we get to the school and the teacher gets Sean a name tag, and has one of the H.S. students show him around and she tells me I can go ahead and leave if I want to and pick him up in an hour. Uh-oh!! I ask Sean if it's ok with him if I go...he says "Yup...you can leave" and then says, "No...stay here." So I stay for awhile until I see he is enjoying himself and then ask him again if it's ok if I go and he says YES!!! So I left... there wasn't much I could do for just 45 minutes, so I went to check out the weekends progress over at the in-laws...browsed my favorite little shop, then headed back. He was FINE...a little quiet...but FINE!! One of my friends from H.S. was there with her daughter and stayed for the whole hour because her littler one didn't want to leave...she said he did great! YAY!!

MySpace is YourSpace

I have created a monster. We had friends over the other night and got talking about MySpace and Rick was clueless about the whole thing. The next morning he asked me if I would help him set one up...so I did...874 pics later...he was satisfied and delighted with his VERY OWN MySpace!! I think that had we left it at that ...he would have maybe checked it now and then if people he knew found him and sent messages his e-mail....but otherwise pretty much forget about it...like I do...errr...did...until people kept finding me...lol! But NOOOO....Nicole has to go on and add him to her friends...so getting 'action' on there right away made the whole myspace thing even MORE fun ;) So...all morning he has been all over myspace looking for people he knows...adding friends...and he even BLOGGED!!!!

It was actually quite a nice, fun, quiet day. The kids played with thier 'possible future cousins.' Rick played on MySpace in the scraproom while I scrapped and pretended to be interested in all the people that shocked and scandalized him. He is incredulous that so many women "THAT ARE MARRIED" are on there with thier boobs as thier profile photo (yes...we all know that...but I told you...he is new to the whole myspace thing ;) )

I didn't get much scrapping done...I pretty much played with my stuff and cleaned and organized. I did one layout...but it was really just an excuse to play with my new white pen I got at ACMoore yesterday...L-O-V-E-S I-T!!!!
Won't be winning any awards with this one...but I had a blast doing it! I need to remind myself now and then ...THAT IS THE POINT OF SCRAPPING!!! FUN FUN FUN!!!

ATTACK OF THE LADYBUGS!!!!

I was delighted when Nicole called to see if I was up for lunch and some shoppin'....HELL YEAH I WAS!!! It's FOOTBALL day...anyplace else is better than here...lol!! We had a great time raising hell at Applebee's and ACMoore ;)

I came home...stepped out of the car and immediately noted that the entire side of our house is COVERED in ladybugs!! Ew. So I go in to tell Rick about it and he already knows because the entire INSIDE of our house is covered in them too...double ew. I know they are considered "cute"...but...bugs are bugs.

Wow...Jessi's nails are dirty...lol.. She climbed Bald Mountain today with some friends of hers, so I guess that's a good excuse for dirty nails ;)
At ACMoore I got Sean the flying bat he has been DYING for! Cooper doesn't know WHAT to make of it...fortunately it is JUST out of his reach...lol!

I *may* have gone too far...

...but I was grinnin' ear to ear the entire time I was doin' it...lol!! The pic is not great because I really needed to use the flash and by batteries don't have enough juice to make it flash...and I am too impatient to wait until I buy batteries to take a pic :)


Here is a close up of the corners. I started by doing just the corners last night, but the rest of the door looked 'empty' ...so I added the 'doodling.' I also had only stamped it last night, but while laying in bed trying to get to sleep I thought of the primas and 'bling' idea...and couldn't resist giving it a shot...it's not like it's permanent ;) (the glue will dry clear....again with the lack of patience thing ;) )
I have been feeling VERY 'projecty' the past few days!! I have gotten a lot of trim painted that we have been putting off since we moved in (should have followed the "never move in to an unfinished house or it will never be finished" saying...but circumstances at the time....oh well). I also FINALLY painted the inside of the outside doors...no more grey primed doors for me! And since whenever I tell people I painted them black....they say "BLACK!!!!???" I added a pic for illustration purposes... See...it looks great...AND won't always be all grimey from the grimey males in this house is it would if it were white!!

I also painted our pantry door with chalkboard paint. LOVES IT!! The kids are loving it ...and I love it too because at the top I made a cute "Today's menu" thing at the top where the kids can't reach to draw anyway. Now I won't hear "What's for supper?" 800 times a day ;)
Today's project is to clean ...clean...clean!!! We are having some old friends over tonight that hacen't seen the house yet...so I'm sure they'll want the full tour...YIKES!! Better get to it ;) 

Surrendering to fall

I declared to Rick last week that I was NEVER turning the heat on! I have always been one of those people only happy at a toasty 72 degrees. I have always lived in apartments where a. I didn't pay for heat and b. they were always old buildings that got were either WAY too hot or freezing. Whenever I would go over to Nicole's to scrap in the fall I would bring extra warm socks and a sweater because I always felt like her house was freezing . Soooooo...... I have been PRETTY DAMN IMPRESSED with myself that I have managed to not turn the heat on yet this year! We made it ALL the way thru September and into October....until this morning when I came downstairs to this.....
So....the heat is on...Rick is mocking me....and I have a busy day ahead....so TOODLES!! 

Added a few more grey hairs today

Jessi hurt her finger at school today and they had me come and get her to take her to the doctor. I took one look at her...and said finger...and decided to take her shopping instead...lol (great Mom, huh?) I mean...$100 at the doctors office for them to tell me to ice her bruised finger....or $100 at Target to get Sean some shirts that actually cover his belly ;) We hadn't even gotten thru one aisle at Target when I noted the finger was being used as though nothing had ever happened to it. Do I know my kid, or what? If she had stayed at school she never would have been able to focus and would have spent the whole day living in her own fractured-finger-drama-land.

THANK GOD SHE CAME SHOPPING WITH SEAN AND ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

After we left Target, we headed over to the Walmart Supercenter to pick up a couple things. On the way there...for who knows WHAT reason... Sean wrapped the shoulder part of his seatbelt around his neck. I am driving along...the kids are munching their pretzels from Target and Jessi suddenly starts hysterically screaming and crying "OH MY GOD MOM SEAN IS CHOKING...HE'S CHOKING!!!" I thought he was choking on the pretzel and screamed at Jessi to unbuckle him so that once I was pulled over and stopped I could grab him and Heimlich him. By the time I was pulled over and turned around...he is sitting there...perfectly fine...taking another bite of pretzel. Jessi explained that he wasn't choking on the pretzel, he was choking because the seatbelt was around his neck and had locked itself... so right when she unbuckled him it loosened up. HOLY CRAP....WHY does he do such stupid stuff!!?? I never in a million years thought I would have to tell him NOT to wrap a seatbelt around his neck!! Who DOES that!!? In a SAFETY seat, no less!!? Now I am wondering what ELSE I need to tell him!? "Don't ever try to ride a bear?" "Don't ever try to jump out your window?" "Don't drink windex." (Actually...I have already told him that one one day when he said "Wow...that cleaner stuff looks like berry juice.") Geesh boys are fun. <---MAJOR sarcasm there!!

I am SO glad Jessi came with us. I can't even THINK what could have happened if she hadn't been right there to see it all and act so quickly. Well...actually I CAN think about it...I have been able to think about nothing else BUT that since it happened. Yet Sean...boy that he is....had forgotten about the whole thing by the time we pulled into Walmart.

TEETH SUCK!!!!!!!

I HATE TEETH!!!!!!! I would say I hate the dentist...but I like my dentist a lot. Today I had an appointment to remove a temporary filling and fill it in with a permenent one. So a'grindin' away he goes and then I hear, "Uh-oh...that's not good" This is something you NEVER WANT TO HEAR your dentist say. So...I guess the temp filling didn't do it's job of making the root pull back enough for a regular filling to be a success. He filled it anyway and gave it a 20% chance of succes with an 80% chance of a root canal and serious pain in my future. Great freaking odds. I seriously could have started bawling right then and there and it took some serious effort not to do so. I realize it doesn't SEEM like THAT big a deal...but when you add the $1300 root canal to the $500 worth of work Sean (thanks to the dentist examing with his eyes and not x-rays or doing sealants when he obviously needed them...and telling me for the past 2-3 years that "His teeth look GREAT, mom, keep up the good work"...then doing x-rays and discovering that he has cavities between his teeth. AND of course...while this was obviously partially thier fault....I'll still need to pay the full amount to fix it...:::deep breath:::: ok rant over) needs done to the THOUSANDS (I am assuming) of dollars of work that Jessi and her braces are about to cost us...all of those figures are AFTER insurance (of course)....you are seeing where the 'Tear Factor' comes in. Adding to it all is my feeling that Rick thinks all this 'tooth stuff' is frivilous and a waste of money. He never outright says it...but...I can tell when he questions why we have to fill Sean's baby teeth if they are just going to fall out anyway. Rick hasn't been to the dentist since he was a kid...and even then NEVER had a cavity. I think he feels like dental care is like plastic surgery or some other medical luxury. Which makes ME feel guilty for having bad teeth and getting them fixed :(

So I drive home from the dentist and am actually able to PASS BY DQ, McD's, KFC....and stop at the grocery store instead to get something yummy to feed my emotional eating need....yet still remain in my daily points range. I did so...and if I do say so myself...I am pretty freakin' impressed with me right now!!!

NEW 'LOST' TONIGHT!!!!! So the day is not a total wash, I guess ;)

We love our doggies!! ...and the cat too I guess ;)

I know pets can be a hassle sometimes, but I really cannot imagine not having any. I would feel like my house was empty! Having the pets adds so much more love and life into a home!! It also helps teach the kids responsiblity. Jessi's job is to feed the dogs every morning when she gets up (at the CRACK OF DAWN...she's such an early bird). Sean's job is to let the dogs in and out as needed throughout the day...a job he LOVES! I love watching him playing outside with the dogs. He talks to them like they are another person and they are out on a super secret mission.

Rick has been lobbying HEAVILY for a kitten and so far I have been able to stand strong and say NOOOOOOO!!! He is a total cat person and he wants a a snuggly cat that will sit with him at night while he's watching TV. Our cat Sophie is not much of a snuggler...and when she is feeling snuggly...it usually with Jessi or Me. So I guess I am a mean wife because I have my dogs and Rick doesn't have his snuggly kitty. I can live with that for now...lol.

Yeah....he's kinda hot

This morning on the way to my first Weight Watchers meeting I won tickets too see Dierks Bentley from a local radio station! That's pretty cool! I am taking it as a sign that joining WW was definitely what I was meant to do today :)

I will admit...I am not his #1...or probably even #13,899th fan, but he is kinda sexy...and definitely has a sexy voice. So right now I am downloading the first songs I ever have of his (it's not like the radio doesn't play him enough). Gotta study for the show ;)

It was a winning kind of weekend for me :) I also won a contest on my fav scrappy site! I get a package of free goodies and I get to be a guest Design Team member in November! That's pretty cool too!! Can't wait to get my package of goodies to play with!!!!

~**~~**~~I Y free stuff!!!!~**~~**~~
