Leaving for CKC - Valley Forge, etc.

Hi everyone - I am leaving for CKC Valley Forge on Thursday. There is a coupon for $2 off the admission and few other promos from some of the vendors - if you plan on attending please email me and I will forward you the coupon via email.
Also, please don't forget to check out scrapbooking.com's August issue for my school and soccer layouts! After they are published I will post them to my Tally gallery for all to see! ;0)

Also, there is a small list of crops so far that I've managed to get together...

Sat. Sept 27th 10-5pm St. David's Church in South Hanover,PA (right near MD line on Rt 30)
Sun. Nov 2nd 12-9pm - Croptoberfest! Also at St. David's Church
I will be vendoring at the Croptoberfest and possibly the other

Also, if you're interested in a weekend crop - Nov 7-9th CRC in East Waterford, PA Cost is $115-140 depending on your package preference. Disc for groups of people. It starts 12 noon on Friday and you crop til you drop or 3pm Sunday (which ever comes first ;0)) - All meals and lodging are included so it's a fabulous price!

Okay that is it for right now... anyone wishing to place an order through MW too - please email me asap! Order will be placed the day I come back from CKC...! hpscrapswtlc@yahoo.com

Time for me to snooze... I know I am early to bed! But it's been crazy around here... !!!
Later

Computer problems

The last thing I need is computer problems but my internet or something seems to be malfunctioning. Hope I can make it through this post ;0)
It's been a whole week since I wrote - where does the time go? I've been busy and unfortunately not with anything scrapbooking related. But tomorrow is a new day and maybe I won't be so tired tomorrow night that I can work on my 4th of July page. My kit from MW came and I love it!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to get to work on that page. I'll post when finished but at this rate it may be Christmas.
Okay - getting lonely again! Please comment and let me know what's going on with you! On Tally I am doing a Jar of Whimsy swap. It's gonna be fun to see what my partner puts in my jar! I'll post when I get hers completed and recieved mine. If you have a group of scrapping friends you should try a swap - any kind - just to get some fresh ideas, make lasting friendships and have a little fun!
Keep the peace.

Putting it on paper

Lately - I've been reading all the posts on Tally and some books on bipolar and the one thing that really hit me is that I need to write more. I need to write stuff down, send a note, make a post, vent about something. I like the blog cause this gives me a chance to do that without offending too many people (hee hee) but I mean a deeper writing I think is in order. So I started to write in a journal. Not really a tiny little diary thing but a plain old notebook I hope to alter! There is so much going on in my life right now with the kids and scrapbooking, I thought will I remember all this stuff 5 years from now? And speaking from experience I can tell you that if you have children and don't write the stuff down that is important like when they first started to speak or walk - you will be asked this a million times down the road and if you're like me you won't remember. Having a special needs child I realize this information would have been very handy, along with when his nighterrors started, etc. I take for granted those things. As scrapbookers we know journalling is important but we hate to do it. Why?
I hope to keep this new commitment up, even though I don't know when the heck I will get to write in it but it's important. So my challenge to you is to write stuff down - if not daily - weekly. You may choose to later use it as journalling on your pages. And if you already write in a journal or whatnot - let me know your sucess stories and what motivates you to write! YA never know - maybe one day our lives will be juicy enough to become movie material!

Much needed shout outs!

I just had to give a shout out and say first that I thank everyone for reading and commenting on the blog! I've gotten some good feedback and I really enjoy it!
Second - the coolest thing happened to me today - got an email from Ali Edwards! Yes THE Ali Edwards from Ck mag among other things. I was just so inspired and touched by learning about what all her family has done and is doing in the fight for Autistic children that I had to email her and tell her so. I never expected a reply so it was nice that she did and it just really made my day! I love her blog - I've added it to my most read blog list so check it out! I hope to some day help kids with bi-polar the way she is helping those with Autism. It's just so awesome.
My third shout-out goes my friend Gail who had her baby, little Katie on July 1st. Way to go Gail and welcome Katie! They are all doing well.
And I guess I'll close by saying this weekend is going to be busy - Bike Week is here in Gettysburg and my hubby is dragging me to the festivies on Sat. I enjoy being on the bike, it doesn't happen often cause of the kiddies but I could do without the rest of the hopla! Oh and a little drinking and parting is fine too....;0)
So I may be quiet for the next few days - but don't worry - I'm still here. Waiting for my MW July subscription to come so I can do my layout of Bryson at the ballgame... the ideas are in my head and need to come out!
Enjoy the weekend!
