Well, I know it's no excuse for not blogging but I'm going to excuse away here...lol
I have been busy crafting as per usual. I participated in 3 swaps of which I'm still waiting for the return of one. I've prepared a swap for our last demo meeting. I have been preparing for our Scrap Club which was this past Saturday. Tracy wanted to learn the shaving cream technique so I demonstrated that and we all made a Christmas Card. I'm also trying to get prepared for Sue's massive workshop on the 22nd. I want to have samples of everything so people can see that what I sell isn't just making cards but much more. I really hope to gain some business from this workshop as Sue and I have put a lot of effort into it. It will be a fun venture if nothing else.
This Friday I have been invited to a 'dresser's' club. This is what Barb is calling it. Essentially, 10 ladies get together to socialize 1 evening a month. We each pitch in $20 per month. Randomly people are drawn for a particular month. The catch is the money $200 is to be spent on you and you alone. I guess originally it was meant for clothing but can be used for anything to pamper ones self. Should be fun!
Ryan started Grade 1 last week and absolutely loves it! I have had to make some adjustments to Shane's nap so that he is up in time to go and pick Ryan up. I think it will take a bit as the afternoons, he's quite grumpy as he's not getting as long of a nap as he's used to.
Ryan goes to the dentist for the very first time tomorrow. I have an all day demo meeting on the 20th. Dave's birthday is on the 3rd. Shane's birthday is on the 12th. I'm planning to rent a couple tables at a kid's clothing and toy swap meet in Abbotsford on the 20th of October. It works out great as it is just the push I need to get cracking on the basement for Aysha. Sue and I have also signed up for a Home Decor class in Langley. The last two Thursdays in October and the last Saturday. I'm looking forward to that as I have no decorating sense at all. I need all the help I can get! Also, am planning the Christmas Card Stamp a Stack which is scheduled for November 3rd, in which I need to find a venue. I'm maybe thinking the Yarrow community center or Abby arts center. I'm going to call both and find out how much. That will be a big factor....lol. I think that's about it.....my Secret Sister stuff has to be done this week. I've got two more cards to go out tomorrow and the final reveal package to put together to express post out on Tuesday.
Are you bored reading about my boring life yet? Then here are some pictures!
