Week-end chit chat 6/22-17/24

[mommy2mrb]

Christy sorry for the lack of sleep due to the weather, hope it cools off for you soon!

Cassey, have fun at your workshop!

Reddy, good luck with the ugly paper!


I might try to work on a few pages this morning after my coffee kicks in...Megan's still asleep, we plan on going to see BRAVE today, tomorrow probably stay home and do , etc.

 

[Reddy]

I plan to work on the wedding album. A group of us get together at least once a month, it is great to bounce ideas off each other. A few of the others have recently purchased cricuts so we share our cartridges at the workshops for others to get cuts without having to buy the catridges. My Creative Memories consultant hosts them and has paper and such for sale, she is not pushy about the product but has it available if we need it. We have alot of fun.

I wish there was one around here (closes one is 30 miles away) I really want some of their brown paper - got a whole pack once - loved it great for tree trunks but that lady stoped selling it - sharing carts makes sense to me - I wonder how many of my cuts I would have to make if I showed up

I'm going tomorrow night
it is at the drive in this weekend

 

[JJ&JHsmom]

I love CM paper, I usually stock up when it is on sale.

I wish we had a drive in here, Julia and I will probably see Brave on Monday since it is suppose to rain.

 

[joyah]

Brave is at our drive in too. But the boys are grumps and it didn't get paired with something they would like.

Weather is cooling off today Thank you lord. We have a beautiful breeze blowing through the house.

Cassey enjoy your time out I love my CM rep she's not pushy either. I missed her last crop she's hoping to do a small one this summer .
Lisa enjoy the movie hope you got a few pages done
Reddy I got some of kiwi lanes templates at CKC in april I find it helps me use up ugly paper.

off to refind my kitchen table again then into the pit. somehow I need to be in the barn as well for supervising the stall cleaning. Levi wants a skid steer to clean stalls I told him to talk to papa but think abt the fact he's going to want a vehicle shortly too. I wouldn't mind a gas powered wheelbarrow though!

 

[Reddy]

I haven't heard of Kiwi Lane - kinda afraid to google it since I think that would be spending money

This paper is from "Me & my big Ideas" - I think what I"m really hating is how they binded it - I keep tearing paper to get it out then it isn't useble - I'm not buying that brand again

 

[joyah]

they have templates to make boarders amoung other things. layering is SOOOO easy with their stuff. I wish I'd gotten more. I think the boarders are my favorites though. I was never all that great at tearingI'm still getting used to using lots of papers on a layout. but it's been fun learning and playing with the papers I wouldn't normally use. Some of them I'm still not to sure of but it's evolution in my mind.

 

[Reddy]

I'm trying to use more paper - love it when I do but I really hate cutting alot of it
most is just too pretty

 

[disney-akj]

I am hoping to get some time this weekend to scrap. I have to go to the store which I hate, clean a little, and then I hope it is time to play depending on the kids. Love the paper piecings Reddy!

M&D called - they are coming over about 2 so now I get to do a quiick pick up of the house

at least sister is coming too & bringing nail polish

 

[joyah]

enjoy the nail polish! but boo to cutting into scrap time.

My parents are out of town this weekend visiting my dads college roommate, they are still great buddies after all these years! My mom's given upcomplaining about my house, I simply can not keep up with it the boys are in a major slob stage (after cleaining today that will cease!!!) and 3 dogs all large in the house it's insane.

Kitchen in 90% done 1 18" piece of counter top left and scrubbig the stove top. On to the living room. I need him to bring the truck home so I can load all the books into it for storage, but he's haying so that won't be happening anytime soon. Hoping for an after supper run. Other than that it's dishes to the kitchen ( 20 steps away boys) and folding a couple loads of laundry. I'm saving the vaccin till tomorrow. Then I'm in the scrap room!!!! Rearranged the list of recycle till tom too.

I empty & refill the dishwasher - still need to vacumn the living room & go get milk but wanted to finish the LOs I was working on

 

[mommy2mrb]

decided to switch our days around, so staying home and movie tomorrow...got dishwasher, laundry going and cleaning is done! so am in my scraproom for a bit....

Christy, don't know how you keep up with everything kuddo's to you happy the heat broke for you, enjoy the cooler air!

 

[JJ&JHsmom]

Okay so change in plans for what I am working on, Julia just brought me out her DC album and said "Will you fix and finish this?" She is not happy with some of her pages. So I will be working on fixing and finish up this one before I go back to the wedding album.

Enjoy the afternoon!

 

[joyah]

Reddy Dad complains LOUDLY he loves our old dog and enjoys the puppy, the other one well......... the funny part is she knows it so at family dinners she'll sleep with her head on his feet. I LOVE glitter! have you seen the sally hansen manicure and pedicure kits? right now my toes are sparkly flowers.

Cassey that's so nice of you to give up your album time! I wish the boys cared abt theirs. I know they will someday cause they used to love looking at them.

Lisa I don't do it well that's why I end up with days/weekends like this, I figure if I manage to keep my head above water I'm doing okay. At least in summer it calms down to a dull roar I'm thinking I need to get into a really good pattern this summer of keeping up with house stuff cause I imagine that the fall settling into school is going to be insane.

Living room almost done, thunder moving in so I'm shutting down the computer and off to close the north and west windows.

funny how animals can sense who loves them

the boys will appreciate all your hard work scrapping when they have families of their own and want to share their history!
well I'm quiet impressed with how much you do with the boys, the farm, your village issues...cleaning is always the last on my list - hate to clean- and its only me and megan, no pets or farm dirt.


gotten a couple LO's finished, think 2 more and then will be done for the day, I'll check in later and post what I've done... using swap pieces
off to go make some lunch!

 

[tpaetz]

I want to work on my AK album but I am stuck on the Flights of Wonder picts. I found a Minnie with an owl and Mickey with a red flag. Anyone have any suggestions I will try posting what I have done after our run to Walmart.

 

[joyah]

Storms moved through, for the most part. It was a nice gentle rain so hopefully it sunk in. It really was quite dry here. Ended the haying for today (didn't hurt it he had just mowed) though. He's off to work on the hay wagon and I'm trying to decide on wether to clean our bedroom or the scraproom? I know which one I'd rather do..... the bedroom will create more work with laundry but the scraproom is going to frustrate me cause I'm STILL tripping over the fouton.

Library issues go to a vote of the selectman on tuesday. I'm trying to forget abt it so I don't stress over it. Village is SLOWLY coming back the general store is open and many of the houses are looking good. We have Dream Builders out of Maryland here building a new home for 1 family. there are still 2 that NOTHING is going on and it is sad both historic homes to the village. Many days I think I'll meet myself on the road or in a hallway but so far I haven't. I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I wasn't busy, oh wait I might find time to scrap or quilt! Oh well they are only young once and Eric's only 18 months from a teenager Levi's 12 months from his driver permit! so I guess they aren't all that young

Well off to pick a room and do something right guess it should be the bedroom then he can't complain when I spend tomorrow in the scrap room.
