Knee Bone... Connected to Your ...Leg Bone

What's in the middle? Well, I didn't realize we had things in our calves that could go POP! Yesterday while playing an awesome tennis match, we only needed to win 1 last game to win the match....and I ran for a ball and "POP" I fell to my knees if hurt so bad. Well, to say the least I have pulled or torn something, not sure what, but I can't walk! Debating on whether to go to the doctor. I must say, I am really busy right now with all my classes coming up. I surely don't have much time for this to be taking place. But, I will say............It was so worth it! I hobbled around long enough win that last game and we won!!! Well, okay so I was at the net and didn't have to move and my partner Sheryll worked her tail off the last game. Sheryll you Rock!! Of course those girlies we played didn't feel too bad for me they kept hitting the ball straight to me (at least they hit them to me, because I wasn't moving!!!) They actually wanted me to forfeit the game...were they insane??? Well, I was playing a lady who was an emergency room doctor, but I wasn't giving in or going down that easy. Go R4!!! So to all of you who are taking my class next Tuesday, have some mercy on me please! We'll have fun, being that I can't move around, I'm at least getting instructions made, and I think today I may prop my leg up and scrapbook a little for Ms. Lahaye.

November Class at TM

Good morning fellow scrappers. Just wanted to take this time to post my November Calendar Class. Although my 3 classes are full, there are always cancellations that must be made so if you are still interested in getting on the waiting list please call the store at 216-9898.
This is the write up for the class. "Wendy has created a beautiful fall layout! First of all, you will be working with SEI's flocked texture papers! It's been awhile since we used sei papers in a class, but we couldn't resist because the colors and textures were just perfect!!! Techniques??? This layout is full of them. How Wendy comes up with new techniques every month is a mystery to me, but this month she is going to show you how to create your own wooden fence from scratch! We are also using the Prima butterfly vines and a bunch of Ranger and Tim Holtz products. She's going to teach you an all new way to create an antique look with Tim Holtz Rock Candy and......sorry I can't tell you.....you have to take the class! All I can say is that Wendy is amazing!" Thanks Janet for the nice description.

Alien Invasion

Drew and I have been working and slaving away down in our basement...we've been like some mad scientists making something eerie and spooky! The school "Boo Bash" was tonight and Drew went as an alien. We did our homework and found the most awesome pumpkin to make...and it just happened to be an "unidentified flying pumpkin" how cool was that! We carved, scooped guts, spray painted, cricutted, we hot glued, we cut and we even stickled! It was rather funny, I over heard a mom saying how cool the pumpkin was and the other mother said, "oh that's for a child who's mom is a scrapbooker." Like we're in some sort of a scrapbooking cult! It was so funny. Anywhoooo.....Drew WON 1st place for his pumpkin! YEAH! We had so much fun, this has been our tradition every year, and this year it was the best, they had games, food and fun...they even had two singing celebrities back from the dead...Elvis and Michael Jackson. The cheerleaders even did a routine to Thriller...what a great family friendly environment! Thank you SBS for making our HALLOWEEN so much fun!

Pumpkin Decorating

Tomorrow night is the Boo Bash at school and Drew decided he wanted to enter he and Dax into the pumpkin carving/decorating contest. Here are a few pics of the beginning stages of the very serious decorating mission. Drew is making a Unidentified Flying Pumpking...this goes along with his new identity of an alien. Dax wanted to make a pirate. We finished Dax's up (no carving involved) and tomorrow we will put the finishing touches on Drew's pumpking...good luck my little goblins!

Three silly pirates took over my kitchen!

Dax @ TM IS....

This year, I wasn't prepared for the IS (Imagination Studio) over at Treasured Memories. I actually am the one who decorated it this year, but I had all intentions on this day to take Dax to the pumpkin patch (hence, the nice green shirt) but it has rained and rained and rained some more...and I just wasn't going to go fuss with all that mud. We ended up going to TM for something and ended up taking a few pics here. Well, let me just say...Dax is not my photogenic child...he just doesn't like taking pictures like Drew does, or maybe he's going through a phase that I forgot about. So here are a few of the ones that I captured without him sticking his tongue out. Happy Halloween! Oh and here are a few pics of my cutie pie last year...he has grown so much!
