I'm working today (Friday!). Princess has a Camp Song Variety Show at 6:30. Our troop is doing a little skit.

She did great at her concert tonight. She doesn't get butterflies, that was a small crowd compared to her dance recitals

Hope everyone has a great day!

 

[ZeroToHero]

Morning everyone!

Up early
My turn for the advent calendar
Sleep more (most likely)

Scrap a bit? I pulled photos for one of Lou's Christmas presents - an accordion album with a "2 page" layout for each day of our Disney trip.
Work from 4-7
Home
Lou coming over for dinner & a movie (Corpse Bride)

I am not liking how BBW is only giving me 3 hours a week - it's more of a waste of time right now than a boost to help pay off my debt to my parents...

On the bright side-

4 more days of classes!!!! I'm almost done!

I didn't end up picking up Jen as she was feeling too sick to go.

I spent the rest of my birthday money on:

Cardstock from cardstock warehouse- 5 pounds of textured cardstock (very similar to Bazzill for $20) and discontinued velum and cardstock in 25-50 sheet packs at $1 a piece$12.

Eyelet Outlet- 10 packages of their $1 bin items, wreath and candy canes as well as ghosts and pumpkins to use on the event swaps and 2 other packages- I don't remember what right now.

Bling place- large sheets of bling in various shapes or individual pieces for $1 a sheet- I got 13 sheets (the sheets held as 2 of the large swirl blings I have used on CPS before)

Lickety Split- 8 sheet of paper 0.10 a sheet, a $1 stamp sheet(large sheet but 2 stamps were used in classes before), some felt fusion packs that were $1 each

Pugnatious Stamps & Designs- 5 brilliance dewdrop ink pads for $1 each

Petticoat Parlor (lazer cut designs- mostly hertitage- civil war and such)- some items out of their $1 basket for event swap items

stamp on it- embossing pads for the cuttlebug(to use brass stencils/spellbinder embossing in it), refill for glue glider, and a spellbinder enbossing item

I watched a demo for awhile at sparkle and sprinkle and I want to get some of her stuff but I was in their when DH called with news of how much the transmission would cost to fix and she said we could pick items up at her house in Ruskin(about 30-40 min) if we weren't ready to buy today so I decided to wait but she does some awesome things with glitter, embossing powders, and acylic blocks.
