Busy weekend

My olderst turned 7 on Saturday. The weekend was pretty much about him...but then again everyday is about him ;0)


A little mini-golf, dinner at Ruby Tues. and then some goodies... like Guitar Hero on Tour for his DS. The guys doesn't put it down! Ofcourse he got a lot of other cool goodies from our friends and family. Steelers toothbrush that Aunt Michelle gave him rocks! Then Sunday we had a cookout with family as I have about 10 people on my side with birthdays in Aug. We just pick a day and celebrate.


Weather has been great here - I've finally gotten my hubby to leave the windows open for the time being so to save $ on electric...it's just crazy!





I had to post this photo...it's of Ian in a not so happy state. But I think it's just too cute.

I'm sure he'll thank me one day for putting this on the internet!

I haven't had much time to scrap at all and I am really bummed cause everytime I jump on Tally I get the urge to scrap and it's like 10pm and I am barely awake... gotta go to sleep! Maybe this weekend... I'll keep my fingers crossed!

My pics of CKC

Here are the pics as promised...they aren't that great but hopefully you get the idea...Our booth is belowThen here is two shots I took from the isles. They don't do it justice cause the place was enormous.

Here is me...dirty and sweaty in the booth waiting to check people out...Yes I am very pale even in the summer.

Here is me and my newly found twin... same color pants on too! It was weird! Hi Susan!

Then the best part... here is my loot from the convention. The Quickcuts animals I plan to use to decorate my son's nursery walls - hopefully before he gets too old for the theme! Then I got some Ambrosia paper packs from Basic Grey, a Rolodex thingy I can alter, some chipboard circles with clear plastic covers so I can make something to hang on the wall, a file and some Queen and Co snow flake things...plus some odds and ends. Oh yeah the large chipboard monogram letters. To spell out Ian and Bryson's names...might try and cover them some how to match their rooms.

Can't wait to find time to scrap now!

About CKC - Valley Forge

Okay so I am back and still tired, but I did manage to pull the photos off my camera... they aren't the best but maybe this can give you an idea of how big the event is and our booth. The booth wasn't completely done when I took the pic so you don't get the total effect but it's close-just missing some signs, etc. That's the first pic, the second is one of me in the booth ;0). The third is me and my twin on Sat. Pam made me shamelessly wear one of the shirts we were selling... me and Susan (in the pic) were dressed exactly alike - so weird that we had to take a pic...So Susan is making her debut on the internet! Nice to meet you Susan!!! And the next couple are of the floor where all the vendors were. The last is of all the loot I bought! Pam let me leave every so often to get Skinny Cow and to shop.
We had a lot of sales (at least for me it was a lot!) so I am hoping Pam will send me a big fat check soon!!!!! ;0) Anyhow, it was a ton of fun but a ton of work. So I need to get some more sleep. Since I bought all the goodies I am going to do my best to work on some cool projects and get them posted.
Bryson and Ian both missed me a lot and I was so glad to see them too!

Well as a follow up to above - as you can see there are no pics...I need to resave as a lower resolution or something cause Blogger isn't letting me upload them :0( And honestly I am too tired to do it tonight.... so you'll have to wait in suspense!

I'm Back!

and in one piece! My let me tell you - I am so tired I could sleep for days...Pam (my booth partner) had me running like crazy! But we had a great show and sold a ton and the best part is I got to meet a lot of wonderful ladies in the process. Plus I got to buy some goodies ;0)

So I am going to get some sleep tonight... and then tomorrow I will post some pics and tell you more about the show!
