Well not in my little town, but wow there has been some great snowfall this weekend in the Salt Lake area and it is so bitter cold here to me. The only time I anticipate the snow is Christmas so that we can have a white Christmas, hopefully we will get some snow this week to make that happen..hehe
We have had a great weekend again, I just love hanging out with my kids and it was fun to be able to spend time with Savana and Trevor and Rylie and Ryson this weekend as well.. We went to the Bouncing House for a family bday party and had tons of fun... I have been paying for it though as my muscles are so sore now!!! hehe well worth it though.
We finished up the rest of our Christmas shopping and this week we will be making some cards to deliver next Saturday to friends in Sanpete. We are making a special surprise delivery there for Jeff's Aunt Elaine.. she has been on his mind this week and he was inspired to send her to the Meryl Haggard Concert (she is his best fan!!) Jeff is excited to share something special for her as he feels she is almost to the end of her life and wanted to do something for her.
We also went to the Christmas light drive through on Sunday and it was so much fun, the kids sang carols and giggled and laughed the whole evening and that is just the best part of Christmas to me.
There is still the sale going on my store for the end of this week and then online store is going until the end of December... I am hoping for a few more sales and looking forward to bringing in some of the new lines that will be coming out for CHA.. hope that we will be able to do some... wish me luck!!!
Hope everyone enjoys the week before Christmas and that you have a great Holiday!!!

Merry Christmas Everyone
First let me appologize to anyone who visited my blog and saw the annonymous commentors spam.. I have now changed the settings so that this will not occur again hopefully.. What are people thinking!!!!!
I hope that everyone is enjoying the holiday season and not as stressed out about it as I tend to get every year. This year I have decided not to do homemade gifts, which has helped me out but, honestly I am missing that part of the season.. I will most likely try to start earlier next year and go ahead and do it again.
We are almost done with our shopping, the little ones are finished and the older 2 here at home are just getting a few little things and then money to go shopping the day after Christmas.. We are excited for that day and always enjoy the after season shopping.. It has become a tradition over the years.
It sure is different this year without Savana here but, she is so happy and even though their lives become stressful with all the new married type things, they are doing awesome and having a great life.. it is awesome to have them so close as well.
I am having a huge sale in my store and trying to get some inventory reduced and be able to update the store with new product in January.. It has been a busy day today and the website store is doing pretty good with the sale as well. Check out the forums for details in the announcement section.
I am really enjoying my new CT's and trying to keep up during the holidays, I will be glad to get back to a normal routine after they are finished and then get back on a schedule.
I hope everyone is having a great holiday season and Merry Christmas everyone!!

Exciting things happening this week at TTS
All the new challenges are starting to appear for July!!! I find it so fun to watch in amazement the gallery fill with sponsor product, the new challenges that are made by the totally talented DT we have and the fun responses to the newsletter.
Dawn has a great challenge that you can do and you get some awesome free word art just for playing.. I have printed them out on transperancy and going to do the photos that were taken on Memorial Day at the cemetary where Jeff's dad is buried. They line the whole cemetary each year with flags and it is the most awesome site to see. One also shows his Dad's most favorite site of the Horseshoe Mountain in one of the photos and the reason he wanted to be buried there were these two spectacular sites.
We are headed to see the fireworks in Logan tonight and not to sure what is going to happen the rest of the Holiday but, I am looking forward to just spending the day with family and having a great time..
I finished some cards last night for our Relief Society for the Birthdays and used the Sketch challenge that Terry gave on TTS.... It was perfect for the cards and I am excited to see that she put a new sketch up today... so don't forget to check it out...
Other challenges that have been made so far for the month at TTS are:
Susan's Challenges Challenge: Come on let's have fun and do these Challenges for the month of July.
The person who completes the MOST Challenges in the month of July will get a RAK From me! So post on this thread when you complete a CHALLENGE. At the end of the month I will see who has completed the Most CHALLENGES!
Breana's Today's Challenge: So what I mean by 'scrap today' challenge is this...
Pick a specific time one day this week for example today i'm picking 11:36am, i'm going to walk around my house take pictures of things lying around, the clock, what the girls are doing and so on. The i'm going to come print my pictures and scrap them! I love this idea (from Ali Edwards) because it scraps YOUR life now! I love that scrappin doesn't always have to be about an event or milestone, it can be about LIFE NOW! So that's my challenge for you all this month. You have until July 31, ENJOY!
Susan's Patriotic Challenge: I'm in the mood for those Patriotic Layouts. So let's see them. Let's see American Flags, Patriotic Clothing, Symbols, Fireworks, you name! These can either be Digital or Paper.
Angela's stamp challenge: Alright ladies, here's the stamping challenge for July--again, use any stamp, BUT no ink or paint allowed!!! Your creation must be stamped with something else! Try coffee, bleach, kool-aid or anything else that you can think of---just NO INK or PAINT!
Trish's Gallery challenge: Check in here with your gallery post count and the first one to add 100 to their count wins .
There are also sketches by Trish and Share up and blogger do's etc...
So much fun at TTS!!! so come and join us everyone!!

We worked so hard over the weekend and I think by the end of Saturday night Wendi and I both realized how much work it is going to be to get everything uploaded.. but, so well worth it in the end and exciting as ever!!! Thanks Wendi for being such an awesome friend and the bestest in partners!!
I went to the zoo today with my little ones first grade classes.. and I am soooo glad that I am not a teacher... Hats off to those gals!!! The excitement and NOISE was incredible, but, I had a great time and got some fun pictures of Kassi and her friends. What a great group of kids they are.
Joshua was content to hang out with his friends and didn't want to join us "girls" so I didn't get as many pictures of him as I would have liked but, got a couple...
Well, I will post the exciting news in the morning for everyone to read and then also let you in on our eventful weekend to "Bear World"
Friday, May 26, 2006
wow is it a busy day...
Do you ever feel like you are running around and never getting anything done!!!!
I have really felt like this the last couple of days, but, now that I look back on them, I guess I am accomplishing things.. just things that I am not finishing are piling up.
We are doing the online store tonight and tomorrow (the uploading the pics and descriptions) and even my dh is going to help!!! should be a crazy couple of days.. wanna come and help? hehe
Looks like we finally have the team figured out of who we want to add for TTS and I am soooo excited to share the news.. Next week will definately be an exciting time. The applicants are all so darn talented and it really has been the hardest one to choose. I hope and pray that they all stick around as they will all have a chance at it sooner or later, there are way too many things that change for people in lives and we are always adding to the team.. hopefully everyone will remember that, we just couldn't fit everyone in.. There were over 30 applicants and wow all of them were awesome!!!! I am thrilled with the choices that we have made though and can't wait to have them start sharing with the site.
The numbers to TTS are awesome, the gallery had over 4 pages of submissions in just 1 day and it honestly took me over an hour to go through them all..I love it!!!!! what an inspiration the gallery is becoming... My most thrilling one today was from my foreign exchange dd Ria, she did an awesome digi layout check it out!!! and please please give her some love.. She lives in Germany and I miss her so much, it is unreal to me how fast you grow attached to a person. Ria and Minori lived with us for 9 months and they are and always will be my daughters forever more...
I spent the day on the phone with a couple of sponsors today for TTS as well and can't wait to have one of them aboard.. she is a new company called Dreamstreetpapers... they are a fun new company and I bought their whole line to carry in the store. I also added Crate paper and some more Junkitz, Ranger inks and MM to my collection for the week and can't wait to open them up and add them to the store..
I also spent a couple of hours with Provo Craft today and finally worked out the problem with my cricit machine.. I ordered it at memory trends last October and still have not recieved it. Finally, they are sending it to me after talking with one of the supervisors and venting my frustration.. They are sending it on Tuesday.. I will be excited to see what happens and have it as part of my tool collection!!!
Sunday Kacee is getting put into her new calling at church and will be the Laurels President, she has to talk in Sacrament meeting this Sunday and I can't wait to see what she says. Afterwards we are going to take off for the rest of the holiday weekend and do some much needed vacation from life. I of course, will be taking my laptop to work though.. hehehe Got to get some digi layouts done for the newsletter upload. I think we need a few more. We are going to go to Bear World and we always love it.. It will be some great photo ops too.
ONly one more week of school!!!! whhohoooo.. I can't wait to have the kids home for summer, it is so much fun to have them around and I love the warm weather and excitement summer brings. Kassi and Joshua are going to the zoo for a field trip on Tuesday and I am going with them. It will be a great photo op and can't wait to have fun with them for the day. Carole took some awesome photos of the zoo this week and shared with us at TTS... got me all excited to go~~ thanks Carole...
well, better get to work.. lots to do tonight!!
have a fun weekend everyone!

Just one more day!!!
and we will have all the applicants for the dt call on TTS... wow there are some talented gals out there in the world!!!
It has been so much fun to browse through galleries, look and watch the growth of the site through these talented women and get to know each of them a bit more.
I really do struggle with this part of the job... Trying to narrow it down to what I think will help the site the most is truely a hard decision as there are so many that would do fantastic.
This is our first year anniversary coming up next month and wow.. the site has completely blown me away.. It is so much fun to be a part of something that I love so much.
We went through applicants for about 2 hours last night and sorted into piles of the ones that are for sure and those that we are still watching.. The next few days we will watch the site for activity from everyone, see how they show off their work and more importantly their desire to be here with us and then hopefully make the right decisions. I am so excited to have a full team again and be able to really enjoy all the challenges and events coming up.
June will be the big BIRTHDAY party with a online crop, tons of challenges, an unreal amount of prizes and give aways, chats and more. And of course the debut of our online store!!!!
The online store is really close, we downloaded the data to the store front last night and now are starting to take pictures and add descriptions and catagorize all the product. This will take a couple of weeks I think, and then wala!!! I can't wait!!!!
My store here at home is really kicking off too... I had my first month not in the red, since I opened this month!!! I am so proud. After 6 years, finally a profit.. not much of one but, not in the red!!!! whhohooooo!! Starting a business from scratch is such a gamble but, I really do enjoy it and am having hope that it will take off now.
Kids are almost done with school!!! I can't wait to have them home for the summer... It is so much fun to have them around, most of the time,, hehehe.. Next week on Tuesday the littlest ones are going to the zoo for field trip and I am going to go with them.. they just don't stay little very long and I really need to grasp the opportunities when they come up.. I am learning that now that my oldest is married and a mommy of her own.
Well, enough rambling, bragging and what nots, I have a class at the senior center in an hour and want to get more work done on the store front... so chat agan tomorrow!!

wow what a week!!!
It has been a whirlwind this week...
CKU came by and went and I had a ton of fun seeing some old friends, meeting new ones and scrap scrap scrapping!!!!
I was able to get caught up on all of next months uploads for TTS and also just have some fun with some of the sponsor products.
SEI and Junkitz is sponsoring TTS for our June Bday month and I love both of their products. Made some fun layouts using them and can't wait to see what the DT will do with their products as well. I am so lucky to have such a great team, they are all soooooo talented and such an inspiration.
It is getting harder and harder to narrow down the few new DT members we will be adding, I am really going to have a hard time just choosing the few we need as everyone is so talented and there are some great new gals getting involved on the site. But, as we have seen it is an ongoing position and always need more to help us out, so hopefully those not chosen this time will stick with the site and try out again when we need another group or even one or two.
I am excited to get the store online and we are almost there!!! whoohooooo!!!! I can't wait to have that part of the site going, it is so exciting!
Kacee's 17th bday was on Friday and we went to see the DaVince Code for her bday.. It was a good show.. I really enjoyed it and thought they did a good job with the casting from the book. Loved that they followed the book so closely to and really makes me ask questions and do research so that is a good thing for me in a religous aspect of my life as well.
We are having a BBQ today and Savana and Trevor and the kiddos are coming, it will be so much fun, I really love it when they come to play!!
well, off to get ready for more fun on TTS and go through the gallery.. you really should check it out as there are some amazing things to see there!!!

feeling a bit ..... hmmm dont know...
Some days I just think I have a hard time understanding my own feelings.. like maybe I just don't get why others make things harder than they are...
I really think that I try to be a kind person, help people out and maybe it is just that I try to hard or expect more than what is realistic...
Maybe it is just me having a "don't know how I should feel day"
sigh... oh well... move on, realize what I do have and who I really need in my life and move on.. right!!!

Life..
Another busy day.. trying to get things caught up.. sometimes life is too busy!!!
The dog seems to be doing pretty good today.. we only had one accident!!! whhoooooohooooo... hoping to keep up the good routine.
I have been printing off pictures the last hour to get some of my kits put together and reliving the wedding as that is what I am printing.. what a great day it was.. the pictures are so much fun to look at and I will enjoy doing this book. I have done mostly digi ones of her bridals but, look forward to some paper scrapping of them as well.
The ones of Jeff and Savana are priceless and bring tears to my eyes. She looks so grown up!!
I was a bit disappointed that there werent any pictures of her and I together and not sure how that happened as both of us thought that some were taken. I know that there were some of her and Adele taken as well and there isn't any of them alone together either. She was a bit disappointed with that as well. There are some really good ones of her with both Adele and Dad though and they will be nice.
Nick comes home in two weeks.. I can't believe he has been gone for 2 years already.. so much has changed and how great it will be to see him again. I know that he has done a fantastic job with his mission and that lives were changed because of him including his own. What a blessing he is to our family!!!

Life..
Life..
We had a really fun day today, we went to the mall and I got a new leather jacket and hung out there for a bit with the kids and then went to the pet store.. Kacee bought her a new little cockatiel and Bug bought him a camileion (I know I spelled that wrong!!)
On the way home we stopped and looked at new golden retriever puppies and ended up getting one of those as well.. so now we went from owning no animals to owning a zoo again!!!
The kids are loving life and I am hoping to make sure the dog stays potty trained!!! He is paper trained now so, probably should be easier.
I did a layout digi with Bella's new Easter kit on the way there and will post it at the websites tomorrow. I am still further behind than I would like to be with that but, worse on getting things for the store done, so will be working this week more on paper scrapping for the upload on Friday. 7-Gypsies sponsored the website and their stuff is so much fun to play with ...I am really enjoying it.
I have to mail off cj's tomorrow as well and finish the store upc codes for the websites online store.. So it will be another busy week!!
The kids are getting ready to play monopoly so I am going to go be entertained by them... lol

I am going to try this again... can't believe I lost my info and couldn't get it to work again so here goes a different one.
My oldest is now married.. so wierd to have a dd that is married. She is having the time of her life and really enjoying being a mom to his kids and loves being married. I am so happy for her.
My other kids are so busy.. wow will life ever slow down.. I am not to sure!! Bug was able to do a drama competition and took first in region.. he now will compete state level and is very excited. He started his piano again this week and it is so good to hear the music throughout the house. The seminary asked him to play for them during a meeting they are having and he worked on it today too.. so fun to hear.
Kacee is soo busy with work... she has really had way too many hours this last couple of weeks for a teen going to school.. I hope now that prom and dances are over that she will be able to go back to a normal schedule.
Soccer starts soon for Josh and Kassi and they are both excited especially since our family is going to be the coaches!! Not sure how that will go but, last year it was good so hopefully it will be fun again.
Summer is almost here!!!! Yah!! I am so looking forward to the warmer weather and time with the kids again.. We have a trip planned for Vegas already and that will be tons of fun for them. We are hoping to do more camping this year too. I am hoping to really have some good quality time with them this year.
The store is getting close to being ready to go online and this week has been so busy putting all the data into the system for it. I am excited to get it online though and hopefully it will go well. I did all the page kits for April today and they will be getting into the website newsletter the next couple of days.. I still need to put mine together but, the information is done and the actual kits are ready to go, just need my examples of the three I am doing this month.. time has gotten away from us this week and we seem to be scrambling again to get it all ready in time..
Looking forward to the first of the month and another online crop with the site.. wow it will be so much fun this time as I wasnt able to participate too much last time around.
I hope that everyone will enjoy it. The site is a blast and even though it is so much work I am really loving to get to know so many great people.
I had to resign from the jungle, as I just couldnt keep up and it was a hard decision and I will miss it terribly but, it is for the best and I will enjoy being just a member there again. I need to get some more of the bella gypsy kits put together now that the new easter line is out.. it is so much fun and cant wait to work with it.. hopefully this week I can have some time to do some more digi scrapping as well.
well so much for just a short note.. hope to be able to keep this one up this time around.
