Quickutz ROCKS!

Christine won this at the Quickutz booth at CHA today!!! This was the grand prize.. a brand new Silhouette electronic die cutter!!! She was soooo excited and shocked. I am so happy for her.





More good things.. Christine designed this book for Best Creations and they had it on display in their booth. Of course it is near and dear to my heart because it is starring my Sammie!

We had a great time seeing all the new products at the show.

This is an art project I did with Sammie. We had so much fun. She really did most of it. I only cut out some of the tricky shapes like the ribbon scarves, snowman hat, noses, stick arms, dog ears, and I made the fish and fishbowl. Sammie did all the cutting and gluing. It was her idea to make our "snow family" which is why she added the dog and her fish, Belle. Oh, and the horse stickers along the bottom for her "someday horse". The snowpeople/dog are Brad, Sammie Naomi and I.

I just may have a future scrapbooker on my hands.. she enjoys arts and crafts just like I do.

That's all for now. I'll be back soon with more updates!

Hello 2009!

Yes, it is already 2 weeks into 2009 and this is my first post!!! I guess this year started off busy!

Love this photo of "It's a Small World" with all the lights. This was the first time we experienced the "snow" at Disneyland. Sammie had a blast chasing the snowflakes. I love how her scarf was flying in the air and the snow was landing on her hair!

I have been working a lot and cleaning a lot and we just took down our decorations this past weekend.

Sammie has been riding Joey which is her favorite Saturday activity.

My favorite activity is scrapbooking!! Christine, Donna and I got to celebrate birthdays and scrapbook at the Scrappin' Table. It is always so much fun to go to Michelle's store. We had fun catching up and scrappin'. We had yummy chocolate cupcakes too. My friend Jennifer couldn't join us but she made me the most beautiful bracelet. Look here to see a picture of it. It is really special and each charm is something that reminds her of me. Thanks Jenn! You are awesome!

Here are some of my recent pages.

I had some birthday money to spend and this just arrived today!!! YIPPEE! I am so excited.
I haven't had a chance to play with it yet but hopefully I will soon.

I am going to participate in a monthly challenge on tallyscrapper. By the end of the year, I will have a complete scrapbook for 2009. (If I can keep up with it) LOL! I am already behind.

Well, off I go to grade some papers.... not so much fun but a necessity. Bye for now.
