whoa it has been too long

so, I guess i really need to admit to myself that I suck at blogging. I truly just get too busy or just plum forget that i have a wicked cool blog that everyone and their mother should follow. Well i am slotted to actually, truly teach my first card class at Ink, Paper, Scissors on November 27th. the last card on blue has been modified to be on brown cardstock, much cuter than the blue. Anyway, I am excited and nervous all at the same time. It will be a christmas card class using graphic 45 papers. I love their vintage christmas line. I have to reveal a little secret, well not so little if you know me but I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!! I have not decorated yet, but really kind of want to, but I have absolutely started listening to christmas music! Love it. any way check out my cards because hopefully all will go well and i will teach more??? we shall see... if people like me or what I have to offer or even if I like teaching. Who knows only time will tell.

Ink Paper Scissors website is up and running

So I just spent a good portion of the day doing inventory at my favorite store-yep you guessed it...Ink Paper Scissors, and I did not even make a dent in the new items. Pat and Liz have been working tirelessly to bring in the latest and greatest products. Also the website for the store is now up and running so everyone can get up to the minute details on crops, classes and products. I always love walking in to the store and doing at least one lap around to look at all the new things they brought in since the last time I visited or things I may not have seen the last time, Ok I have to admit I usually take more than one lap to soak it all in. Yes, I was one of those kids who cherished my new pencils, notebooks and back to school gadgets that I bought every fall. I even love the way all that stuff smells!

zentangle at the beach?

So I just had a great beach trip with my family for a few days this week. One of the days I was sad I did not bring some Zentangle supplies to the beach with me since I thought it would be fun to "doodle" while sitting at the ocean. Justin suggested i make something in the sand and so I did. This is my zentangle inspired rock creation. Boy did I have a blast doing it and boy was it relaxing. Hope you enjoy. It lasted for an hour or so until we went for a walk and the kids next to us came to check it out and crushed it. I honest to goodness did not mind and as we were walking back to our blanket I had to tell my own kids, "now kids I think those kids are probably changing or tearing apart mommy's creation and that is perfectly fine" since I did not want my cherubs to be mean to the other kids. and how zen-like that I truly meant it when I said I didn't mind... Yeah

long time no blog

well summer has definitely kept me busy, working, enjoying the kids but definitely not scrapping or cardmaking like I want to. Oh well fall is coming and hopefully I will dust off my creative corner and get working. I am recovering from pneumonia and physically feel fine other than not being able to really exercise since walking up stairs leads to a winded hacking fest with coughing up a lung. But is has diseased my brain and I have been in poor mental space since. My wonderful husband let me go last minute to a beginner Zentangle class at my favorite scrapbook store. It was extremely relaxing and fun. I can't wait to doodle away more. Here are the samples I completed today.... enjoy

also I love to pass on other fun blogs I find check out milasdaydreams.blogspot.com it is soooooooo very cute!!

Did you ever have a day....

where you were very sad, wrote it in a blog...alot of it then deleted it because it was just too much information? Well welcome to my day...a brief synopsis...
1. Sorry to have let my most favorite store down... and some amazing people.. I just can't live up to perceived expectations.
2. worried about my dad.
3. miss my family and am jealous that they are at fireworks without me
4. extremely inconsistent feelings regarding my 10th wedding anniversary this week... the inconsistency is not that we are celebrating 10 years, justin truly is my rock, the inconsistency is the feelings I have about how we are or aren't celebrating it.
5. terminally ill children are the saddest, most wonderful beings on this planet.
6. the power of now book helps...but not always

that pretty much sums it up without getting too personal, not that anyone really reads this

I love surprise gifts

Yes, I have to admit I am selfish enough and materialistic enough to say I LOVE getting a suprise gift. I was at work today feeling pretty sad since my Hubby let my kindergartner play hooky and they all (all being the hubby my 5 and 6 year old) went to six flags, without me a big BOOO-HOO-HOO for me. It was going to be almost 90 and it is the end of the year so he figured Brae would probably be watching a movie or otherwise taking it easy in school so he decided to go have fun. I was happy for them but extremely jealous. Don't get me wrong I am actually very lucky that I truly do enjoy what I do, but I love my family and spending time with my family more. It was a ho-hum, busy day until... an OT student was having her last day of he 3 month affiliation and the sweetheart bought many of the therapists little thank you gifts. Totally unnecessary and a total surprise. Anyway I have to admit I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my gift. And the only thing better than an empty one of this cute glass is this cute glass full of what it was made for. So check it out and THANK you Raquel...seriously you made my day in an otherwise oh whoa is me kind of day!!!
This Vino is for you!!
