I shipped out my stuff to the consignment store Friday (see link below). She got it Saturday and called yesterday to tell me she loved my paper bag albums. She (Dawn) doesn't think the 6x6 "hard" books will sell for $40, but there's a lot of work and time in those things. She's probably right. She knows her clintel better than I do.

Nothing exciting going on. Went to the NWTF convention this past Saturday. Saw some "hunting" celebrities. It's funny. Reminds me of scrapbooking!
This weekend we're headed to Memphis to visit Graceland. Em has a report due first of April about a historic TN place. She picked Graceland. Fun ......
Gotta run and read blogs :-)
More later!

Birthday; Valentines; Scrapbooking; Tax Time
So, my birthday was last week. We celebrated with my parent on Sunday, the 11th. Chinese buffet and Red Velvet Cake - after this birthday, no more celebrations .... no more birthdays. I'm stuck for the rest of my life at 36!!!! See, that's only 4 away from 40 and I'm having a hard time with 40. I've already started panic mode ... only 4 more years and I'll be 40! YEEEKKK!!!
It was a good birthday. I got money - more on what I do with it later in the post.
Valentines is the day after my birthday, so really they are combined. I don't blame DH for doing that, I probably would too if it were me! So, DD got money and a small box of chocolates since I knew she was getting a lot of candy from her party. On Valentines, the 4th grades classes at her school had a singing program. My little Em stole the show (in my opinon). They sang classic love songs and that sounded really good. Some of the songs had some dancing with them and we all know that Em loves to dance. She was on the front row and really getting into the dancing. During the last song, I heard a few comments on the little girl on the front row having rhythm. That's my girl! After the show I had a few friends ask where she got it and it's not from me. Must be the good dance genes that skipped me! Everyone kept coming up to her telling her how well she did and how good she danced. I don't think she realized she was the only putting so much effort into the dancing. She asked "Why does everyone keep coming up to me telling me I did good?" Too cute! I video taped the performance and then we bought a DVD. Good memories!
I'm taking a few days break from scrapbooking..... maybe. It seems when I get home, I don't want to scrapbook. It's too cold in my area of the basement. I don't like going down there and freezing. So I'm not motivated. I did make some cute cards that I copied from a card magazine yesterday using scraps, which is always a good thing. But not much scrapbooking, although I took off Friday and really planned on working hard this weekend. I did however make a major purchase this weekend! I put my deposit down on a Silhouette! I can't wait for it to come in! Now, just to figure out where to put it!
Taxes are down. I did them myself. Just to have them double checked by a friend and they are ready to be submitted!
Gotta run .... more later!

My life is so boring
that I don't even have anything to blog about. We'll at least not anything I want the world to know! :-)
I have been working pretty hard on getting some paper bag albums, cards and other things ready for the lady in Murfreesbboro. I need about 3 more paper bag albums to feel like I'm giving her something she can sell. I need to call her, because I'm not sure how she want to handle the cards - individuals or several packaged together.
I did make two "tear bears" this weekend. Did you see them when they were huge? I mean some of these cute little bears sold for $100's on ebay! They are cute, but not that cute!!!

These little guys are cute. I just found them on ebay - 1scrapbooklane is the creator. Mine aren't this cute yet, but they are cute. Her's are much fuzzier than mine. I did find out that different color handmade paper tears differently. The white I used was much easier to tear.
As soon as I get my cards scanned, I'll post them. They are very simple, except the bears.
