Can somebody please slow time down?!

I can't believe it has been a month since my last post. I have been so busy. We had a fun Thanksgiving weekend at The Sassy Scrapper with lots of classes. I have been working quite a bit but I am off for the next few days. I hope to get my Christmas crafting done and hopefully my Christmas cards done. I know I am behind. I also turned the big 40 a week ago. I can't believe I now have to say 40, ouch. My mom said "Welcome to middle age." I told her I was going to get a boob job, then I changed my mind and said I was going to get a tattoo. For any of you that know me very well the only tattoo I could possibly stand would be one of a freckle. I got to spend my birthday shopping with some good friends Karrie and Marta. This is the picture of us eating at Logan's. The waitress gave a big shout out to the whole restaurant to wish me a happy 4oth. How embarrassing. One of the cute young waiters came by and said he would have guessed me at 21. What a sweet young man!! I also had a crop at the store. We had a great time and ate lots of good food.

I think I'm going to LOVE my Gypsy

I got my Gypsy on Tuesday and have been playing with it everywhere. I was at basketball practice on Wednesday and somebody asked me what I was playing. My friend Karrie asked me to do a page she saw somewhere and here is my version. The title I designed on my design studio and then transferred it to my Gypsy and cut it out. I love the way it turned out.

Don't you just love fall days!!

Jackson my youngest son was invited to a birthday party yesterday at the park. I took the opportunity and my zoom lens to take some really cute pictures. These are a few of my favorite.

Girls just love to dress up!

Saturday night was my son's annual dinner fundraiser. It is a Dinner/Auction. Instead of having it in the gym at school it is now held at the Embassy Suites in Murfreesboro and we had a lot of fun drinking, eating and dancing. Here is a picture of my good friend Shannon and I waiting on dinner.

Don't Miss Out

Don't forget the Sassy Scrapper is having their 2nd annual Scrap Pink day this Saturday. It will be from 8 am to 11 pm at the Lascassas Baptist Church on 231. The cost is $35.00 plus tax and that includes lunch and dinner. There were be some t-shirts for sale that say "Fight Like a Sassy Girl 2009". The cost is $12.99 - $15.99. Please come down for all the fun and support a good cause. Remember 1 in 8 women get breast cancer, we need a cure!!

A Couple of Layouts

Here are a couple of layouts I did in a class I took at the trade show in Houston. The paper is from GCD Studios. This paper has a super cool texture. The flower on the first page was so fun to make. It is just hand cut circles each one smaller in size and then wrinkled up and put together with a brad.

Live the Life You've Imagined

Most of you know how much I love Tim Holtz. Being his assistant at CKU was so wonderful, but this past weekend I actually got to be a student in 3 of his classes. It was so awesome. I did some things I have already done on my own but also learned some new techniques from the master. He remembered me from CKU which was very cool. I also got to meet and take 2 classes from Jennifer McGuire. She is another very talented person. She does cards mostly but she uses alot of Tim Holtz inspired ideas and product. I am always the teacher so getting to be the student was very fun. I also took another class from Prima and we made a mini album using the packaging. It was so cool, I can't wait to put pictures on it. Here are a few of the pictures from this weekend.
