It's been a while!

Had a great time this weekend at Val's for our annual Klassen/Rietze gathering. It was supposed to be here this year, but it snowed... and when it snows you better have 4-wheel drive to get on the yard!!!

Other than that lots of work going on here! Finished inventory, working on pricing, classes, kits... lots to do!

* My first Mom's morning of 06 starts tomorrow. Hope the ladies all enjoy the project.

* Taught a card class today.

* Molly got 100% on her first spelling test last week!

* Scrapped a bit! Surprising I know!

* Need to tidy my space.

* Need to calculate my GST.

* Need to figure out my camera (is posting/uploading images the same as on my old one? Features? Etc.)

* Work on future kits.

Nothing really exciting here.
Gonna heat up leftover pizza, watch Bachelor and 24. Hopefully get to bed early.

Night all.

I'm still working on inventory. The online store should be up and running this week. And then I'll be restocking all the stuff that's be gone since Christmas... and I tell you... it's a lot!!! And with CHA just over it'll just multiply!

We're back....

We're back.

If you're ever in the Theif River Falls, MN area you really should check this place out! 7 Clans Casino and hotel. The waterpark is totally awesome! 4 waterslides (3 go outside the hotel and then back in) and then a mini water park area for the kids, a lazy river and hot tubs... really nice rooms too! And we only paid $59 US during the week! Molly went everywhere and Jack stuck mainly to the kids area.

Max was sick though so I was holding him all week... no one else would do. He wouldn't even let Derek take him out of the carseat! My arms should be really toned by now!

So we got back and I got sick. Basically flaked out on the couch for two days. Had to miss the Quick Crop too. Thanks Leigh, Liz and Jen (by the way).

Picked up Lola. How do you house-train a dog who finds it too cold outside? She is a cutie though. I'll post pics soon.

Managed to scrap 2 pages today. I'll post those as well.

Jenni Bowlin's site is up.... Neat.

Hopefully get going on inventory on Monday. Also need to package February DT kits and January store kits.

Just some thoughts...

* why can't I be a morning person?

* "I like you" - Max

* everyone keeps calling Lola "Lucy"

* why is it so hard to get back to work after the holidays?

* I love that my kids love art

Off we go...

Well...not for long. Just until Thursday sometime. Family fun here we come!!

When I get back...
- finish inventory
- prepare Mom's Morning Out display
- prepare February kits
- submit
- post layouts ("Resolutions" and "911")
- work on Christmas journal


Don't forget... Friday @ 8pm... MSS Quick Crop!! Come scrap, chat, enjoy challenges and games! Hosted by Leigh, Liz and Jen!

Be sure to check out the
gallery this week. The newsletter's gone out and the DT will be posting their work. If anyone wants the January newsletter please email me and I can forward it to you!

Hopefully picking up Lola on Friday too! Bought a pink collar for her today!

Have a good week!

Happy New Year

Hope everyone had a great holiday!

Crazy busy here... as usual!

Spent all day today (from 9:30am - 4:30pm) counting inventory! I hate that! Thank goodness it only comes around once a year. Now to enter that all in the computer! Thanks Val, Mom, Dad and Auntie Sheila for helping out!

Kids still have fevers... hope that's done soon.

Lots to do tomorrow and then we're off to Theif River Falls for a little holiday.

So much more to do....

- prep for mom's morning at MB church
- get newsletter out
- scan and post layouts
- finish inventory (computer stuff)
- plan next SSD (possibly in April this year?)
