Wednesday's post 4/19/06

Since today is Wednesday. I'll post. I skipped last week on purpose. I didn't lose any weight. I gained 2.4 ......... WOW!!!! I totally blew it last week. But this week, even with Easter, I lost one pound. That doesn't sound like much, but with Easter, I was very pleased. My goal was to maintain, so I got an extra star in our group meeting today.

Yesterday was hubby's birthday. I was a bad wife and didn't get him anything. Mostly because I spent a lot of money over the weekend, with Easter and some spring fever and Emilee needed things for the Kats game Friday night (new black shoes and getting her hair done). She danced at halftime with the "Little Kittens". Very cute and she had fun. I'll post pictures when I get them resized.

Lets talk about scrapbooking:

1) I've got almost all my business projects done - one more waiting for a title page and I can start back on the stuff for the Livery Stables. For that I'm doing some baseball and soccer clipboards since the clipboards sold first when the store opened, so I'm thinking this community is so baseball/soccer crazy that these might go well. I've bought way more stuff than I'll ever use, but I'm so afraid (which this has happended before) that if I don't buy something when I see it, I'll need it later and can't find it. So, spending money like its made on trees, I tend to buy more than I actually need.

2) Disney pictures. I'm committed to finishing our cruise album before moving on to the Disney album, but I can't wait to start on my 500+ pictures!!!! My friend Cheryl said are to going to scrap them all? NO! was my answer. I tend on using my favorite and the ones that tell a story and them put the rest in normal (acid free) books that have the margins I can write in so I can still document everything, but not spend the time scrapbooking all 500 pictures. I anticipate actually scrapping about 250 pictures (half) plus all the 5x7 character pictures I bought. My dilemna is trying to decide what to do with Em's autographs, which are in a book. Do I tear them out or scan them? Probably scan them and leave the book intact.

3) Purging! I need to purge and sale. I need a store to have a garage sale!!!! I wonder if http://www.scrappuccino.net Scrappuccino's would have one soon? I'll have to ask! OR better yet, I wonder if I could just sell it online? I don't want to use Ebay, I've heard their fees are too much. Any suggestions let me know.

4) I'm in the mood! I'm in the mood to shop ..... scrapbook shop that is. I'm really resisting, because the CK Convention is next weekend and I need to make sure I have some money to spend then. I'm excited about the classes I'm taking too.

I think Lola has agreed to have one at her store. I need to call her and get the update on that. I've been looking for one too! If I couldn't get anyone to "host" one, I was going to try and set up one somewhere. If Lola doesn't do it, then I will see what I can come up with!
