yesterday July 22, 2009

was my birthday and what a birthday it was.  I went to lunch with my parents, the girls and Mike at Chili’s and it was yummy.  Then we went back to my parents house and I opened gifts.  Got some nice things.  Then Hannah had to go to work and Catie and Mike made me dinner shrimp alfredo and bread it was yummier then lunch.  Then we went to the Tuesday Night Concert series at Wing Park and meet up with some friends and to my suprise Rick joined us.  Catie brought a cake and they even had candles.  They sang to me and everyone enjoyed the cake. 

No picutes cause catie has them on her camera and she is still dog sitting, so hopefully she will share them with me when she gets home.

why is it July 16, 2009

that when you’re a parent and decide to do something and don’t include your teenage or older children they get all pissy with you.  But when they decide to do something they don’t even think of inviting you?

two great days in a row July 15, 2009

how does a girl get to be so luck.

yesterday 6 friends and I went on a scrapbooking field trip.  We went to one of my favorite stores in Antioch,   Hannah’s Home Accents they have a wonderful scrapbooking section.  And then we went to Scrap Fancy in Arlington Heights,  I only purchased papers for layouts that I have pictures for.  I am trying very hard to only purchase when I have a need.  And I have been cropping at home and needed some new paper.  We went out to lunch and got home about 4:00.

Then today I had to go and pick up a package from UPS and it had several dies from Quickutz to create a make n take for there new Epic Six machine.  And this afternoon the UPS man delivered my Epic Six machine and I can’t wait until I can start playing with it.  On first sight not sure that I love it, but will give it a try.  Unlike the Revolution tool the plate is not magnetic and the dies slip around.

 

play ball July 12, 2009

Catie is on a health kick and decided that we all should play softball.  So Melissa, Mike and I went along for the laughs, oh wait I mean ride.  I told them that I was going to be the team photographer but the insisted that I play.  So I hit the ball and yes I did hit it a time or two, but I did not pitch or play the outfield. 

the paper is from a swap I was in and not sure who it belongs to.  I cut the scallop by hand. Buttons misc, journal tag maya road, title quickutz relax and university.

well here they are July 10, 2009

pages that I promised.   Hannah bought her first car.  It was quite an experience for all involved.  We searched high and low and finally found a lovely Ford Contour that she could afford and liked.

total slacker July 7, 2009

and there is no excuse for it.  Well there has been alot going on in my little part of the world.  In June we packed up the store to move it to a new location, however that is to be determined and as of yet it has not.  So I am scrapbooking at home, but not a ton. 

Yesterday was Hannah’s birthday and she turned 19,  So that was a fun day at our house.  We had dinner and my parents over, As she puts it she had a “asseen on tv” kinda birthday.                        

 

Have a great week and I will try and post some of the pages I got done soon.
