My Movie Star

Well girls, I'm off to the $3 movie theater to see "Blind Side"---finally. I'm sure I'll like it. Oh--but before I go I must tell you all a funny story! For a very long time I have often told Megan that she looks like Sandra Bullock who is a favorite actress for both of us. (Just as a side note to the story--Matilda's favorite is Tinkerbell). She has always disagreed with me telling me that I'm crazy and that no one thinks that but me. Well--I went by to see Matilda this afternoon and Tracy tells me that she and Matilda watched the Oscars together. Matilda called it the "pretty dress show" and they critiqued and commented on the outfits worn by the various actresses. Onto the screen comes Sandra Bullock dressed for the occasion and Matilda declares--"Look Mommy! Auntie Meme (her version of Megan) in a Tinkerbell dress!" Enough said. I'm right. I always knew my daughter had movie star looks!

Returned home from teaching my Calendar Class and curled up on the couch to watch a bit of TV. Watching an episode of House that I had taped. The girl on the show is constantly updating her blog and something about it inspired me to grab my computer. One of my fellow attendees from camp posted the group photo we took on the steps at Donna Jean's retreat this past weekend, so I thought I'd share it with all of you. We had so much fun, but I must confess that I still have not fully recovered from the stairs.

Well, I'm going to marvel at how Dr. House and his team solve yet another medical mystery and then get some much needed rest so that I can get busy planning my next classes tomorrow.

Night, night

Home Again, Home Again

Returned from a wonderful weekend retreat in Virginia City last night. I am suffering the effects of going up and down three stories---not the best idea for an old woman with a back injury, but I'm not going to let a little pain keep me from having fun with my girlfriends! Thank you so much to those of you who helped me haul my stuff up and down. I didn't take any pictures on my camera, but when I get some form others I will post some. We all had a great time. Now it's time for me to put my nose to the grindstone and finish prepping for my Calendar Class tomorrow night.

Scrap Therapy

I enjoyed a wonderful Thursday evening scrapping with friends last night. I was not in a great mood, but scrapping and chatting with them perked me right up. I didn't get much sleep that night, so I was laying awake thinking about all the good scrapping does. The process is healing to me. I get so much joy out of being around the process and the people. It just seems like good therapy. Well, my mind got to working and I came up with the idea of offering myself and my home for therapy sessions. Are any of you in need? Do you have a project that you need a little help with? Is there some technique you'd like to learn? Do you need to catch up on a class you missed? Do you just need some one on one "therapy" time? Well, this "therapist" is ready to help if I can. I'm offering my home, yummy snacks, table space and any talents I may have for a fee of $10 per hour. If you want to come with a friend or two there will be group rates available. I have a limited supply of products that you may need on hand for purchase and I have a Cuttlebug, a Cricut, and a Silhouette available to cut any shapes or titles you might find you need. If you are interested please contact me at snipnscrap@yahoo.com for your own personal appointment. We can work around your schedule to set something up.

Snow, snow and more snow!

I actually had my air conditioner on in the car briefly yesterday afternoon to cool it down a bit! Now I look out my window and wonder if I'm going to be able to get out of my house tomorrow. Maybe I should have purchased a snow shovel. Should have rented a pile of movies as well! Need my prescriptions refilled. Maybe they have delivery.If I were going to be snowed in I would have preferred that a few friends were snowed in with me. How's everyone else doing out there in this land of white?

Lil Buckaroo

Finished this page today as a sample for AKA Smiles. Kind of like how it turned out. I can just see a picture of my cutie Matilda on a pony in this spot.

Road Construction

Okay girls---Is it me or does it seem like McCarran in front of Scrapper's Paradise is in a state of unending. constant and continual road construction?
ARGGH!
Anyway, had a great time scrapping with my friends tonight in spite of the roads. Try as they might--They will NOT keep me away!
Have I mentioned how thankful I am to have each and every one of you in my life?
