Make & Take in Tustin

Please stop by if you have some time. I am doing a make and take for Quickutz at the Memories Store in Tustin this Saturday (2/4/06) from Noon - 2 p.m.
They are located at:
2927 El Camino Real

The make and take will be a really cute Valentin's card (just in time for the big day 10 days later).
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!!!

Disaster area :)

... ok, guess what I am referring to? Well, if you are a scrappers, it's not hard to guess the correct answer! Yes, my scrapping room or should I say my DISASTER area!! I should probably post a sign outside with a warning not to open the door! It seriously looks like a hurrican has hit home - stuff literally everywhere. I admit, I am NOT a clean scrapper. If I want to be creative, stuff has to fly left and right while working on projects. I try to clean up afterwards, but if I have too meet some deadline and I am tired, I may just close the door and leave the disaster till my next visit.
Well, it's gone out of hand - truly! Trust me! Hubby and I have agreed to rent a dumpster (NO WORRIES!!!, I am not going to go crazy and throw everything away) next weekend and get to work. I am trying to be good and make a pile for donation, a pile for a possible yard sale with my friends Ang and Margarita (something we decided on last week while doing the scrapping swapp at SB Oasis), a pile to be re-organized and a pile for the dumpster! I AM SERIOUS!!! I need to clean so bad. I am dreaming of an organized sb room, clean, uncluttered. I still know pretty much where I have what (which is a surprise in itself), but I just want it too look pretty too.
Like food - they eye eats too, right!
And NO, I will not post a photo of what it looks like right now (not sure if my camera lense would survive the disaster area), but I might just post a photo once I am done - Before and After so to say. Wish me luck!!!! ... and if you wonder about the timing LOL, just in time to make room for the new stuff! <---- Addictive scrapper talking :)
Have a good week everyone! To my friends at CHA - ENJOY!!!! (I so wish I could be there too, but hopefully next time), and while you are showing pretty new goodies, I am wading through my stuff that warrants a truly addicted sb personality :)

Trading in old for new...

Went to Scrapbook Oasis with Ang and Margarita yesterday to participate in a scrapbook supplies sale. The owners of the store rented out tables in the back where everone who "reserved" a table was able to sell any scrapbook or stamping supplies to customers. For all your sold items you got store credit. Our table (although way too small for all the stuff we had (I think we all should have reserved our own table as we had so much stuff)) made out like bandits LOL. I think combined we sold stuff worth a few hundred dollars. After dinner we went back and shopped in the store and were able to use our store credit = so basically trading old for new stuff!!! It was such a blast and it felt so good to get rid of some items that I just knew I wouldn't use anymore. ... and best of all I ended up with some fun new stuff I can hardly wait to play with!!!!

Busy, busy, busy....

January and February are the busiest times of the year for me at work!!! = Operating budget time. The budget drags on until the beginning of summer until Council adopts it and than changes are made based on decisions taken. Once we submit our budget proposal the work load slows down and we just made edits to our proposal ... but right now it's insanely busy at work.

To be honest, I am bummed that this is the busiest time of the year. I would have loved to go to CHA in Legas, but there is just NO way I am getting off work with a due date on 1/29, 1/31 and 2/9!!! So I am a little sad, but I have been talking to my friend Natasha/tasha and we are planning on going to Chicago in the summer! Can't wait, - something to look forward too :)Chin up - let's get this budget done and turned in ~smile!!!

Celebration, celebration :)

It's celebration time baby :) I am finished with all my QK projects and they are on their way :) YEAH!!!!!

Besides that, busy, busy, busy at work! Our first budget due date is next Friday, followed by Tuesday afterwards (1/31) and than the final due date for enhancements is 2/9! After that we will be getting questions, revisions are due, etc. Did I mention that I can't wait for Mid February to be here :)

A little time off :)

Jer and I took a few days off this week to go down to San Diego and to spend some quality time together! FINALLY! It has been way too long that we were able to get away together and we really, really enjoyed spending time together and it felt like such a refresher to our marriage! We left LA on Tuesday morning and drove to San Diego. We went to Horton Plaza, spend a few hours shopping and took a stroll through the Gaslamp district. Afterwards we drove around San Diego and enjoyed the beautiful surrounding, beach, etc.
Today we went to Sea World. Lots of shows, lots of photos, and lots of fun. And best of all - My back held up ok. I am sooooooo thankful and happy. I was really worried that I would not be able to walk all day, but knock on wood. I think all the acupuncture, the physical therapy and me starting to slowly working out again is helping. I promised myself to do anything possible (do my back exercises, continue acupuncture, and start slowly to work out again) to prevent back surgery. So now I am just hoping and praying that my body is responding and that those two slipped disks are good and stopping to bug me :)
Thanks everyone for your continuing support, prayers and thoughts!!! Photos from our trip will follow soon.
And tomorrow (Friday), I have an entire day to scrap with my friend Inken. We signed up at our LSS for the Moonlighter but we are going in for the entire day. Can't wait!!!

So dang excited and thrilled and I can finally spill the beans and share ...
