what's happenin'?!

Well..... I had been busy making stuff for the store to display & sell at the CHS craft fair. I did discover that black is not a good fashion choice when you are sanding, sanding and more sanding!


Jayton has recovered well from his surgery. He has just a little hole as a 'battle scar' in his palate right behind his front teeth.....we will see what his plastic surgeon has to say when we visit in '09. Jayton did get a piece of apple up in the hole yesterday and I was trying to flush the darn thing out. He thought it was pretty funny when water would then fly out his nose! I faintly recall those days pre-palate repair when food & such would come out of his nose. Especially if he sneezed during feeding time- watch out! LOL!


I made one of the free snapfish 8 x 11 books that was announced on Oprah!


Friday night I have bunco with my girls! YEAH!


Saturday night a bunch of us plan to see Twilight.... cannot wait.


I hope to accomplish something this weekend- I need to put all the Halloween crap away, the decorations & costumes are all over the spare room upstairs waiting to be stored in the dormer. I also need to get some paint samples to figure out my big paint project that I am dreading beyond words.....I should also try to throw some excercise in there somewhere. I have been so bad! I should also try to finish at least one of my multiple crafty projects that I have started (see pic). Finally, Christmas...... uugghh. I hate trying to figure out what to buy. So far only Ashlyn is DONE.

* edit * OK.... Amanda reminded me that I also scrapbooked in the backseat of my Acadia while Jeff drove us to Portland. I made a lil mini scrapbook for the store. 3 words HEADACHE from hell - Zip Dry should be used ONLY in a well ventilated area.

THUMBS UP!

Jayton did AWESOME! The surgery went smoothly and the two teeth in his palate came out pretty easily and did not leave much of a fistula (hole). He was a little sleepy for awhile after we got home and he is not liking his soft diet too much but the popcicles are a BONUS! So now we just have to monitor his lil hole and see that his plastic surgeon says the next time we head to Portland for a clinic appt.

Today, tomorrow & the next

Well tomorrow morning is Jayton's surgery...... please be thinking of him! He is such a trooper, he is more concerned about missing a birthday party at 6:00 pm at McDonalds if he is not feeling up to going. Priorities-LOL!

Today I finished the final book of the Twilight series (Breaking Dawn)- if you have not read (or listen to audio books like I do) you better get on it! Soooooo good!!!!

Hopefully soon I will post some of the projects I have been working on- I made a snowman advent calendar- just need to add the #'s..... and I have to finish up my 2 Disneyland albums. I will post some of the layouts soon.

Lastly, Jeff & I are heading to Portland Sunday morning for a quick overnight trip. He won a Subaru contest through work so we have a nights stay at the Monocco, w/ dinner @ Pazzo Wine Cellar & breakfast @ Nordstoms included & then a fun shopping spree at Nordtroms on Monday courtesy of Subaru...... I love to shop!

JUST DO IT!

R-A-K....

Scrapbookers have the BIGGEST hearts! On Saturday I received a package in the mail. I knew I had not ordered anything so I thought "What did Jeff order now?" But, to my surprise the package was for me- from the totally talented & sweet Dawn. Just because..... a R-A-K (random act of kindness)! She sent me the Spooktacular collection from Teresa Collins!! I cannot wait to play with my new goodies! Thank you, thank you, thank you Dawn for the the lil surprise! You are GREAT!!! Here is a peak at the awesome card she made and a peak at what I received. A million thanks again!!

Kids on Halloween

Here are Ashlyn & Jayton all decked out for Halloween & ready to Trick or Treat! Jayton was a red Power Ranger....check out his QUAD MUSCLES & Ashlyn was a 'pop star/diva'! Thankfully it stopped raining by the time we hit the neighborhood.
