Hi all~

Mother's Day is fast approaching- we have had one really great Mother's Day Scrapbook class last week and another this Friday! Thanks to all that signed up!

For those that didn't- here's the pics!! We did 10 pages- front and back. We used the natural linen albums- 6x6 size- Stampin' Up! We used the Simply Scrappin Kit (copyright Stampin'UP!) called 2 Sweet...great colors!!

I meant to take pics of the group working on the scrapbooks- but my camera was out of batteries- i robbed those batteries to put in my Swiffer Wet Jet (clean floors or pictures?? hmmm...) and my husband bought new batteries- but before they made it to the camera- someone (DAVID!) put them in the Wii controllers! So batteries are on the shopping list this week and hopefully i can get some pics from my stamp club this week and my scrapbook class!!

News from Stampin' Up!: you can join to be a demo with a special scrapbooking starter kit right now for 75.00!! If you are interested in joining- please see my demo website:

IT's OFFICIAL!!!

I am a Stampin' UP! DEMO!!!! HOOOORRRAAYYYY!!!

I am so excited to get started! Ever since i started stamping I have been SO addicted to it!! LOL (don't even ASK my DH about it!!)

I have always been what i would consider "artsy". Left brained- all the way...
When i started scrapping 5 years ago- i barely knew anything about stamping...didn't even know what there was to stamp!!
Then i went to my first workshop at my friend Lori's house and WOW- it was such a neat experience!!
I booked a workshop and it snowballed from there!!

My friend Heather- lives in NC- came t o visit me this summer- and she walked into my office/stamping area and couldn't believe all my stamps!! I laughed- my 40 or so sets is small potatoes to alot of people!! LOL

I LOVE to make cards for people. I always wanted to be "that" kind of person- the one that was thoughtful and sent out cards for all occassions and sometimes as just a little surprise in the mail.
Now i can be that person- and love what i do and now maybe even make a few $$ while doing it!!
Happy Stamping!!

New Stuff!!

(Our Daily Bread Designs- a new set i was playing with!!)

Well- its finally happened! The SU bug bit!! I am signing on to be a demo!! (and taking advantage of the awesome deal right now!) Thanks to Jill!!

Life is BUSY right now!

The kids are in swim lessons- my oldest likes it my middle child- not so much! LOL

She kept screaming "I HATE THIS!" when the instructor wanted her to put her face in the water.

I tried to make her practice dunking her head in the bath today but she told me she was "busy" School starts the 26th. I am planning a shopping trip this Saturday- to get the rest of the school supplies. I don' t know what i will do all day with just one child here!! We will have to start some sort of fun little routine...I was thinking a morning walk would be nice- weather permitting.

I am super excited about the SU demo thing! Can't wait to get started with that!

Have a wonderful day~Sara
