Planner Fun!

This was the weekend for my "Holiday Planner" class. 3 ladies came over for the fun and "fun" was what we had! I really enjoy sharing all the neat things we make with my friends! For one person in particular, she has made more of these planners then I have! I think she's caught the "stamping bug"! Enjoy the picture and I hope to see yours in the next class photo!

Homecoming

Breanna had her homecoming dance last weekend. She looked SO pretty! I let her go with a couple of her friends from school and, from what I hear, they had a great time! We had a great time too as we went to eat at a favorite restuarant "Macaroni Grill" - amazingly enough we walked right in with no waiting! Then while the kids were at the dance we parents went out for a drink (I had coffee!) at Chili's! Enjoy the pictures of the kids!

Anniversary Card

18 years ago I met the man who changed my life for ever!



So I made him this card to commemorate the big day! It's not our wedding anniversary but the day we met! He thinks I'm a little silly for remembering all of our "little" anniversaries but hey, they're important to me!

I used the SU set "Baroque Motifs" set, brilliant blue ink and cardstock, whisper white and Night of Navy cardstock as well as So Saffron designer paper! Oh and I used the pretty white taffeta ribbon as well as one of the fire gem brads! He should feel pretty special since that's the first one I could part with! LOL! I slipped the card into his day planner! I think he liked it as he emailed me to thank me for asking him out first! I guess a girls got to do what a girls got to do! LOL!

Enjoy!

Holiday Season Classes

Classes for October and November 2007 Sign up now at savo3@cox.net

October 14 (3:00) – Holiday Planner class - Is this the year you promised you were going to get organized for Christmas? With your “Holiday Planner” you’ll be able to keep that promise!

October 21(3:00) – “Fall Frenzy” - In this class we’ll be creating Fall/Halloween cards and treats. Learn how to turn a simple bag into a great “trick or treat” holder, make cute Fall/winter cards and a great Christmas gift idea.

November 4 (3:00) – Photo Album in a Lunch Box – “what is that?!” We’ll be making a unique photo album to give that special someone in your life. This accordion type album is the perfect way to show off those cute pictures and keep them safe all at the same time!

***Here's the twist - I have a brother who is in the Navy and has just been activated to go to Iraq. He left yesterday to begin training for his new duty assignment. He actually leaves December 5th for a year long tour over there. I am going to ask everyone who participates in this class that if they are willing to make at least two cards (all supplies provided by me) to send to his unit for them to use while they're over there, I will discount your class by $2 IF I get to keep the 2 cards you make! They all have family and special occasions in their families too and won't have access to purchase cards to commemorate these events. My goal is to at least give them cards, stamps provided, to help! It's the least I/we can do for these people willing to give so much for us!***

I Should Be Cleaning But.....

Okay my dear sweet beloved husband has been gone for 8 long, long, long (did I say long yet?) days and is finally coming home today! I really should be cleaning but I found the coolest "thing" on another blog! It's a "creative" test and apparently I'm a little on the creative side! LOL! Surprise! Try it out to see how creative you are too;

You Are 83% Creative

You are an incredibly creative person. For you, there are no bounds or limits to your creativity.
Your next creation could be something very great... Or at least very cool!


Somehow I don't think my honey will care how creative I am when he sees my creative mess all over the kitchen when he walks in the door! Gotta get moving here!
