Hello y'all..... another busy weekend. Friday I worked at Crop Paper Scissors so Jan could frolic at the ocean. I was busy pricing and putting out some new merchandise. Better check it out!!! They got in some really neat felt birds, buttons, arrows etc from Maya Road and they are in a cure container that you could alter later.... More Prima flowers (the big ones) those sell fast so hurry in! Coolest Daisy D flowers, buttons and cardstock die cuts. Lots of new rubons for Christmas and gorgeous ribbon from Maya Road. Lastly there was some new Autumn Leaves stamps ( which are my favorite). I bought a lot. That is what is hard about being surrounded by my addiction.
Saturday the kids and I rented some movies and hung out at home. I rented 'You, Me & Dupree' pretty good..... and 'Because I Said So' that was hilarious. I watched them down in my scrapbook room while I did some creating. I did two layouts and a little project for the store. I need to finish a couple more layouts for the mega kit club still. I have made three so far. I really, really need to be cleaning my scraproom. Our annual Halloween party is Friday night and my counter in the scrapbook room is where we put all the food. It may be a last minute shoving behind the doors kind of cleaning-
Today we are heading to Kendrick to have lunch at Jeff's dads and visit a friend that Jeff graduated with who is in town visiting his family.
Tomorrow is my perpetual calendar class at the store..................should be FUN!!

PHOTO SESSION W/ THE KIDS

I could not wait to play with my new camera that I had to have a photo session with the kids.... here are some pics that I took!!

What If...??

Another passion....

Many of you know that I am involved in cleftAdvocate which is an online resource for those born with facial differences, created by Debbie Oliver (who is an inspiration). cleftAdvocate is a program of AboutFace USA. I stumbled across this website when Jayton was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate and have been part of their community ever since. I also have travelled to Las Vegas for the conference that is held there each summer. Anyway, Aboutface USA has created a video that speaks volumes and I just had to share. Although Jayton is not in this particular video, his picture is in several literature brochures regarding facial difference.
