It's almost time!




Are you ready for the trick or treaters? They will be knocking at the door soon. Do you have all the costumes that you need for yourself or your children? We are still searching for the right ones Jesse wants to be a lion, Julie is going to be Hanna Montana, Kristen is switching roles with one of her guy friends, he's going to her and she will dress up like him. Jennifer is still not sure what she wants to be. And Scott and I are still searching for the right suit for tonights Halloween Costume party. I just can't wait to get out and enjoy the company of some dear friends and family. It should be a blast!

Here's a peak at the file that is in the folder in our group, just in time for Halloween so log on to the group and get your free file. All week I've been catching up on getting some files placed in the store, you can see them on the right in my slide.




One thing you will notice that is different when downloading any of the new files are the directions. I'm very excited that Michelle suggested that we from typing to illustrating the directions. Here's a sample for you to see.

Upcoming class ~ "Thanksgiving 2007" album~

I am very excited about this project it is turning out so adorable. But it won't be released until early next week. The album will be complete from cover to cover with all kinds of new and old files, pages full of embellishments and ribbons. And I've stepped it up a notch using a new product to add some sparkle! I went shopping last night and picked up some of Heidi Grace's papers and it just makes everything pop! I'm working hard to make it easy for you to put together a memorable Thanksgiving, your just going to love it! Watch for this sometime next week.

Thank you for all of your support~ I hope you will enjoy the trick or treaters file and remember if you finish a project and want to share I will give you a free file of your choice.

Good morning

I'm sitting here taking a sigh of relief while drinking second cup of coffee. I just put Julie on the bus after two weeks of staying home and nursing her. It's a good feeling seeing here board the bus with a big smile! Just crossing my fingers that we don't get slammed with homework.... it's going to be a busy weekend!

Saturday night Scott and I are going to our first costume party, we just never use to get out and I can't wait to see all my wonderful cousins and great Aunt. Still not sure what I'm going to dress up as? I do have a flappers dress but I need to find a pin striped suit for Scott, maybe I'll run to Good will this weekend.

Sunday we have Lorelei's birthday and I better get her something good she's such a good little girl, I want to find her something very special! Then on Monday , Jennifer, Kristen, Julie and I have a report and display due, YIKES we haven't even started it's for PSR we are suppose to pick an unfamiliar Saint. At least we know who we are choosing, St. Louis De Montford, one of my favorites! And one of Pope John Paul II, who would carry his writings in his back pocket renewing his consecration to Jesus every thirty-three days. But we need the details so I guess we are going to be cramming this in. And we will be putting the Klic-N-Kut to work making a beautiful display. I'll have to share pic.s when we are finished.

Last night I began cutting the first two pieces for my next class... I am so excited about it and hope to have some pictures of the album by the end of the weekend so you can start thinking if you want to sign up.

Don't forget to look in our forum for another surprise and I have a file in the store at Paperthreads to give away so make sure you go there to download it. While you are there check out the 33 % off on my fall super files, before you know it you'll have some awesome layouts done.

Before I go I would like to thank all of you who have purchased my files! It's such a reward to see that my designs are enjoyed!

wHeW! Back in the swing of things!

Well we had a fun birthday celebration for Jesse! He is something.... we had some of his presents wrapped in the morning allowing him to open two before daddy went to work. Then later while I was busy on the computer he sneaked right behind me and took his largest present off the table...carried it into the living room, that's when I heard him..."oh, cool...this is so neat...WOW mom". I looked over and realized he had opened his tool set. He was so excited... since now he has his own set of tools and a belt to carry it in! I grabbed my camera and the darn batteries were dead....Which was a good thing I discovered it then... I just plugged it in and it was ready for later. I had to call Scott and he just laughed and said "Well I have one more big present to pick up." He came home with a Home Depot tool bench so Jesse's been hammering and drilling all day!

Which was nice for me since I jammed out some files...speaking of files don't forget to look in the file folder tomorrow late morning... I'll have another surprise for you. Did you get the robot? I think he turned out so cute. I can't wait to make a page with it!

Enjoy your evening I'm off to bed!
