Shiny Happy People. . .

19 layouts. . .DONE!

Unbelievable I know, but true! I cannot express how happy it makes me to be COMPLETELY caught up. I have come close before, within one or two layouts, and thought that I was truly happy with that, but this, this is a whole new level of joy. Pure JOY!


It's a Big Big Bed. . .


Annie has moved. . .to a Big Big Bed! She slept in it last night for the first time, and did great! She was excited and a little nervous. She tucked Big Lulu ( a giant lamb) in on one side of her, and trusty ole' Woof Woof on the other side. This morning she told me that Big Lulu "got a wittle (little) scawed (scared)" but that she took care of her. How sweet!


It's a Big Big Car. . .


The long long process of finding and buying a new car is finally over. This has been one exhausting and frustrating experience, but it does have a happy ending. Hubby finally slept well for the first time in weeks, with our shiny new Suburban in the driveway. Yes, it's a great big all american SUV. We went for the giant SUV over the minivan, mainly for the extra space and the 4 wheel drive. Not because a minivan would be social suicide! (lauren!) Afterall, ALL my good friends drive a minivan! We drove to Kansas City and back on friday to bring it home. It was a happy, happy day. To make the day even better, just before pulling in my driveway my cell phone rang and I heard a voice on the other end say "I like your new ride!" Thanks Janelle! So far we really like the car, hubby has said "I never knew I could love a car this much!" I'm glad your happy honey, and I'm glad your sleeping again.

We are a house of shiny happy people!

I must choose my other hobby for a bit.

I am scrapbooking this weekend.

This was my original hobby, well, unless you count cross-stiching, but I gave that up long ago.

Scrapbooking has taken a back seat to blogging lately, not that I did much of it at home before I started blogging.

After several mishaps that involved some or all of the following: my children, drinks, siscors, markers, my layouts, my pictures, stickers on top of stickers. . .

I have resorted to only scrapbooking outside the home.

But today I shall return to my first love of hobbying, for a while anyway. I am off to a "scrapbooking retreat."

It's just down the road.

I really do enjoy it. It gives me an outlet for my "artsy" side, and it allows me to preserve my memories in a way that I enjoy.

It's also quiet, with lots of chocolate and coca-cola. Ahhhhh.

I will return to bloggy land soon, just as soon as I finish 19 more layouts.
