Thanksgiving update

We have such a low key Thanksgiving that I don't even take pictures ...... so in Em's books it'll look like we don't celebrate Thanksgiving. Actually, the past two years, Steve has worked. Last year I think he got off a little early, but this year he didn't get off till 4:15, so he didn't get to eat with us. We couldn't wait .... :-)

I've had 8 clipboard orders and 2 8x8 album orders - I've got one clipboard completely finished and delivering today. I've got 3 about 90% done, two 85% done, one 70% done and one planned. Two of those HAVE to be finished this week!!! And of course one of those is the "planned" one. I really do have a plan and once I get two sheets of specific paper, I'll be good to go. The 8x8 albums will go quickly, I've got one of them almost done and I'll just copy of the other from it, so it'll go fast! Then I might have 3 more orders for clipboards and have Em's teachers clipboard to do. I think I might start on it this week sometime, at least get some of it done.

Business if okay. Could be better, but I could also be putting more effort in it. I didn't realize how unproductive I could be if I HAVE to be productive. I work better when it come naturally. Plus I'm not one for getting things done early - I tend to wait ............. not good when you have a scrapbooking for you business and work full-time. Just like 6 of these clipboards, I've had those orders for at least a month or more and I've only been working on them for the past two weeks. Why do I wait? Cause it's my personality!

Gotta run, more later!

Rose, Cream, Brown......

Thats the colors of the baby album I'm working on for a client. Then another for a boy, sage green, black&white and blue ..... another easy one, huh? I thought the rose, cream and brown would be easy, but not really - at least for babies it's not that easy. I'm going to have to adapt something. Right now I have the vintage hip from Making Memories on my desk trying to decide if thats okay. I think some of it will work. I plan on using very little of the pattern paper and a lot more solids, with just a hint of pattern paper .... what do you think? The boy album - I'm not sure...... not to mention my 5 dance clipboards! Those are wearing me out!!!

OH YEA - I found my gold/purple stripes ...... I couldn't believe it! A store in OH - Scrapbook Superstore. I had to call Scrappin Sports and they told me the paper was discontinued, but hasn't been for long. The last store to make an order was th Scrapbook Superstore and they probably would have some .... oh yea - they do, plus the solid cardstock that goes with it! YEA! I bought 15 sheets of the stripes and 10 each of purple and gold that match! I'm so stoked!

Gotta run, gotta leave for a dr appointment and I'm trying to figure out when I can sneak in a HL run cause they have their rub-ons on sale!

Titans pictures

Em danced 10/29 with the Jr. Titans during the Houston game (which they actually won!). It was the Halloween game, so the girls wore halloween mask. It was a cute dance. Here's some shots!

Em and Shannon, her coach!

Game day - our tired Titan cheerleader. Isn't the hair cute!!! See the white barrett? Thats because she cute her hair back before Easter and its growning out. It's long enough now that it's very noticable that it's not the length as everything else! I needed a brown one, but couldn't find one at the house.

On the field performance! She's the "line leader" standing on the 30 yard line! I was so pround, she did really good and I think she smiled the whole time - which is a challenge for her, she concentrates so hard. But she had the moves and they were GREAT!

Halloween Pictures

What a terrible shot of our pumpkins, but I did get some good shots of them individually using my new mono-pod.

I've been trying for weeks to upload pictures into blogger, what gives! I'll try to post more in this entry and then a few more in other entries.

Here's our Victorian Vampire! Isn't she cute! Check out these shots (doctored in Picasa!)
