Sneak Peeks -     

A Big Thank You To All of You in Tulsa...

who made our classes so terrific! We were so excited to have the opportunity to meet you all and thank you for choosing us.

We are excited to announce that we are planning to be back in 2008. While in Tulsa we met with our Favorite girl at Oriental Trading Co, Lindsey and had the chance to talk to her about sponsoring classes for next year and some other upcoming events. We can not say enough how much we appreciate OTC and how lucky we are to be part of them.

Keep watching the site and checking your mail for the catalogs, because OTC has some new products coming out and they ARE SUPER DUPER!!!!!

I have also spoken with Cosmo Cricket and they have agreed to sponsor us again as well... and between you, me and the fencepost, they have new stuff coming out and I can't wait.

Getting Ready for Tulsa

Tammy is moved and getting settled, well as settled as we are going to let her get before we pack back up and head to Tulsa for the CK Convention. I have been gathering up prizes and I have to admit that I would love to keep some of the stuff for myself.

I hope that everyone else is as excited as we are, I think this is going to be a super fun event.

See you in Ok, be careful though, you know the wind comes whippin' down the plains!

Cropping for Fun...

I have been working on my Disney album and have been loving it...

Evan makes his mommy proud by suggesting things I could do or journaling I need to include. He has a good eye...

Tammy is moving today and I feel bad for her because it is like 99.0 here and a heat warning is out... drink lot's of H20.

Hoping everyone is having a great day and a good weekend planned!!!

Things you might want to know...

So it has been crazy around here... Tammy sold her house (Yeah) and is moving as we speak to Columbia. I, on the other hand am curious where summer went, I spent a month doing a Summer camp with a friend, and between back to school prep and a mini trip to Colorado (wow) it seems like summer has flown by.

A couple of things:

A shout out to the ladies who took my Disney Mini Book at the Scrapbook Store, you gals were great.

Also, thanks to the ladies at the Scrap Nook for letting me come crop with them, I had a ball and can't wait to come again.

Finally for those who requested to see them here you go:

My Paper dolls...

Pirates and Princesses

One of the things that my husband and I have in common is that we both always wanted a treehouse. My mother insisted that I would break an arm or a leg and Tim's parents home didn't have enough mature trees (plus his dad has no building skills). So when Evan asked for a tree house we just knew we had to make it right for all of us!

Since we only have cherry trees we decided that it would just have to be a fort. So the building began...and continues as we speak. Tim keeps coming up with new ideas and ways to make it better.

I think I better enjoy,  it since the money for this was supposed to be my windows for my screen porch. I look at it this way, Evan is only going to be little for a while and I can always have windows!!!!

Evan is already planning a camp out when school is over!

The Pirate Lair!

We love Disney! EVERYTHING about it and can't get enough... so in June and July I am teaching Disney classes at The Nook in Bolivar. June class - see below!

July class sneak preview... 

School is never going to end!

Thanks to the ice storm we are in an unending cycle of school going and I am ready to get out! The kids are restless and not happy to be here so it makes the days LONG!!!!!!

Anywho, We are getting set for CKC and so excited. I think you will be excited to see what we have to offer...

Hope you can make it!!!

Beware - Pirates Ahead

Can't say that Tammy and I aren't just a little bit prejudiced, but we think these are some pretty cute boys!

The Pirate party was a huge success... Now I need about a month to rest up!
