No Title

Hi everyone, yes yes I know it has been forever, although in my defense it feels like it has only been a few days. Time is going wayyyy to fast, I had a wonderful weekend at my San Diego Retreat Last weekend!!! Now it's on to finish November preparations, busy busy busy.

I am also working on upcoming class samples for the rest of the year, yup you read that right. I will be psoting some pics tonight and some tomorrow, that is what I am spending my day working on. I know for the most part what I want to use for my classes from now through December so I figure I will get them done sooner than later.

I have a class tomorrow in Monrovia at Scrap-n-yap, I haven't taught there in a few months so I am looking forward to it!!

Oh Yes hubby and I went to Disneyland last night, it was CROWDED but we still had a good time. So that is a brief recap, sorry nothing very exciting to report. Have a great day!!

E-mail overload

Hi everyone I have been getting behind on e-mails, so if you been trying to reach me over the last couple of weeks and have not heard from me it is due to the fact that I am still answering e-mails NOT that I am ignoring you. I would never do that unless you are mean and then maybe I might just a little (TOTALLY KIDDING). Anywhoo I just updated my class calendar, for the next few weeks and I am finishing invoicing for kits and retreats. Thanks for your patience.

This summer vacation has been rough, plus tie in the fact that I am an extremely slow scrapper and I have some problems lol. It took me about 20 hours (obviously not in a row) to complete the Acrylic summer album below.

After today I hope to be caught up at least for a few days.

Keep cool and have a great day!

8" x 8" Acrylic Mini Album BoBunny Popsicle Line!

I love the way this turned out, I will be doing this acrylic book class at the Scrapbook Garden on 8/8. Doesn't this book look similar to the one below, it should I wasn't my intention to scraplift from myself lol BUT once I finished the other book I just knew I had to use the same general design on acrylic so here you have it! Call the Scrapbook Garden to sign-up. Click on the calendar link to the top right of this page for all the details.

Bo Bunny Popsicle line with a little Prima thrown in - Fun In the Sun Mini Book

Harry Potter was ok

I am probably one of the few if not only person who will say this, my son and I saw it together and he loved it. I LOVEEEE the books so I watch the movie with the book in mind, so that in itself makes it hard to really enjoy the movie for what it is because I am constantly comparing them. Enough of that I don't want to give anything away to those of you are still waiting to see it. Anywhoo that is it , have a great night!!

Computer crashing and Harry Potter comes out tomorrow!!

Yup I have a lovely virus on my computer so my computer guy is coming tomorrow, THANK GOODNESS. I have a ton of files that I don't currently have access to and let me just say I hope he can clean it up without losing info or I may have a stressful week ahead of me. Anywhoo I am actually excited about Harry Potter coming out tomorrow at midnight!!! My son Matthew is trying to convince me to go to the midnight showing, but I think I am going to pass I am almost certain I am going to be tired and who wants to pay a high priced ticket for a show you are probably going to fall asleep in, NOT I. I love the Harry Potter books and was so sad when I finished book 7. I had wanted to read book 6 before watching the movie but it didn't happen . . . Anywhoo have a great night!.

GRRRRR Computer issues

So I discovered yesterday that I had a virus on my computer, not this computer luckily this one is ok BUTTT i have a ton of files that I need off the other comp. I am going to have my computer guy come out this week. Soooo annoyed about this, anywhoooo totally excited about the BOBUNNY Design Team Call!!!~

I couldn't get rid of the crib

I'm not sure what that really means, today when I was cleaning out the garage (read last post) I found it hard to part with my Abby's crib. You know how sometimes despite what you try tell yourself or convince yourself in your heart you know the reason . . . well I know the reason I am not ready to give up on growing my family. I don't dare share that sentiment with my family (Mom, aunts, uncles, etc.)they look at me like I have a horn growing out of my head so I will share it with you my one reader ;-). I don't want to have any more of my own, well that's not entirely true it would be nice to have another child of our own BUT I really want to adopt. I think for our family 3 children of our own is adequate but this whole thing is not that simple, I am not quite done babying my Abigail (she will be 3 in August). I won't get into the many reasons I don't think we are ready I just think we need a little more time. Who knows when the time will be right it may never be, what I do know is that I couldn't get rid of the crib. So I leave you with lyrics that seem to fit:

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry

These lyrics are from the song The Calling by Regina Spektor

I'm beat!

Hi there!

So I spent the morning cleaning out the garage, it needed to be done, luckily the kids are on vacation so they did most of the heavy lifting. WE HAVE SOOO MUCH STUFF!! All I was really able to do today was organize it so that I can go through the boxes one at a time (YAY ME!) So I am off to design for my upcoming classes and the San Diego Retreat in August.

Clearance sale pushed back.

First let me say I have way more page kits than I thought so obviously this is not getting listed at least not this morning. I will keep you posted on what I have available in the coming days. One thing I DO know is that I have WAY TOO MUCH. Check back soon! Thanks

I haven' t really been trying

What does that even mean?? Well to the few people that may stumble onto my blog probably nothing this is more of note to myself than it is of any value to you (my one reader ;-).

So there you have it a piece of weird randomness coming out of my brain an onto my computer, this is almost as odd as my statement this past weekend to Lucy & April (they took my class at the Scrapbook Garden) about not liking the position of the sun in the afternoons. I don't know why but something about angle of the sun and the shadows it produces int he afternoon really bugs me. Ok so for those of you who think I am totally crazy = you are probably right. Have a good night !!
