The Sun is Back!

Our sunny weather is back! The dogs were happy to walk to the bus stop again this morning with K. I had a nice morning helping out in K's kindergarten class. The kids are so much fun - I don't know how her teacher could do it without parent helpers though. 20 kids is too much for one person.

Monday Morning!

We woke up to a WET and drizzly morning again in Southern CA. We've had rain for almost a week straight. Will it ever end??? We've been hoping for snow, but only the mountains have gotten it. Guess we'll have to take a trip up to Wrightwood or Arrowhead to get our fill.
I'm off to work on my SMILES homework. We're doing workshops now - mine is "Making Kids Mind Without Losing Yours" by Dr Kevin Leman. Anyone want to borrow the book when I'm done???? :)
Happy Monday everyone!

Some New Stamp Projects and More -

I had my monthly Stamp Club Class this past weekend. We did some fun projects with the new Happy Heart Day and A Little Birdie Told Me sets. Loving these stamp sets! They are great for some many different occasions! I'm addicted to the new BALI BREEZE Designer Paper too! Check out the pictures of the projects we did and some other samples I had out. I'm planning ahead for Valentine's Day this year.
I also posted my new SU! punch holder. I just had to run down to Covina to IKEA and get some of these. They have several sizes, but I decided to go with the longest ones since they were only $2.99 each and I knew I'd fill them up. I guess I should've have gotten a few more since my punch collection still isn't complete.
K is back in school as of Monday! Chuck was home Monday and I helped out in K's class today, so not much stamping or scrapbooking going on lately.

4 more days of Winter Break

K has 3 weeks off for Winter Break. I thought we'd be looking for things to do, but it has flown by. We are down to 4 more days! I have a leadership meeting for SMILES at HDC tomorrow and then not sure what we'll do. I still have Christmas decorations to pick up and my stamp room is still a mess! It became the gift wrapping, Christmas card and gift making area and all 6 tables are covered - STILL! Some of the laundry room remodel are still hanging around too - what a mess! There are have been more important things to do though like - Sea World, Disneyland (we went yesterday!), and seeing movies at the new theater in Apple Valley. I'll post some new pics tonight although it will be hard to pick just 1 (I took almost 174 in one day!) Costco Photo loves me!

Wow - I did have a Blog!

I knew I wanted to start one, but I totally forgot I did set one up last year. Too funny that it has been a year exactly! On to a new year! Here's hoping 2008 is full of happiness.
