Another book to read.

Yeah another book coming my way soon. Now I just wish Fourteen would be in the stores soon. So what is everyone reading???

I need some sun

January is such a blah month for many reasons. One of the reasons I think it is so blah is because we have had only a couple of days with sun, winter is long and cold and I really don't mind it, but I think this season we have had the least amount of sunshine.

I want and need to have the smell of spring! I can not wait until I can see the flowers popping up in the garden. Because of this I think I have been in a funk. Normally the stress at work don't bother me, but lately everything bothers me.

Well enough dwelling, at least I have been doing some creating, have to say I love making ATC's. I think I'm actually getting excited about the mega meet. Last year I skipped it so I think I just may have to go this year. Not that I want to spend the money but it gets me motivated.

I'm packed and ready to crop tomorrow. Hope I get some things done and not chat the day away.

Here she is........JaeLee

I went to snap a few pictures of the new addition to our family.
She is small, adorable and very wrinkly. LOL Mom Brandy, Dad Jason, and sisters SkyLyn and Tristin are very proud of her. Brandy says she is a good sleep, but says she is a bit spoiled already and wants to be held and not placed in her bassinette.

Other notes work has been good, not so stressful but very busy.
Also, this week has been a scrappy and fun week. So I'm off to do some creating.
Have a great weekend.

We have another baby

My niece Brandy had a baby girl. JaeLee was born this morning, she weighe 5 lbs 14 inches. I can not wait to go see her. Her bigger sister SkyLyn is so happy.
Welcome to the world JaeLee.

Remembering

My mom Dolores

Today is the 10th anniversary of my mom leaving us. 1-12-08. So today I dedicate my blog to my mom. She was the best mom one could ever ask for.
She was a hardworker (she worked at the Cheverolet Factory) she was funny, a bowler, a rebater, a cook, and a shopper. My mom has always worked hard, she raised 4 kids (Tom, Jayne, Me & Andy) and not always with the help of my dad. They divorced in the late 70's.
If my mom was here today, she would join the scrapbooking world, she may not be doing layouts but she sure would be shopping for supplies for me. LOL
I sure miss her more and more. Her life was taken too soon and she has missed my wedding and the birth of some of her grandchildren.
SO I do not want to dwell on all the sadness in out life. I just want to say live life to the fullest because some lives our just to short.

Can you tell that I have my mom's nose....LOL

It is in my hands......

Off to read my new Janet E book!!! Plum Lucky

Just in case you want to know where I will be.

AHHHHHH

Well this old body is tired and sore, my one store is finally moved to its new location. There sure was a lot of stress, tension and confusion. But it is done. Now the next project is opening a new store. I guess I'm earning my keep. And since we moved and came up with some new ideas most of my stores want to rearrange their backroom. Not that I don't want them too, but I'm tired. LOL
It will all be worth it in the end.

So far the new year is going good. I have really cut down on the diet coke, having my first one since the 1st. Darn it does taste gooooood.

I must let everyone know that on January 13th we are having a cyber crop at www.cropperscottage.com so come on over and join us.

I will soon have some layouts to upload.
Have a great week.
