Stuff

I've been busy....really.

On Thursday morning, Erin and I took a drive to Anthem. She'd found a cute dresser on Craig's List for their new baby and we went to pick it up. I think she's planning on painting it and adding some funky new knobs. It will be wonderful when she finishes with it. I can't believe it's only 2 months until grandbaby number 10 makes her way into the world and our lives.

On Friday, Jan and I cropped the night away at Scrap Happy. It was fun. I got a couple of projects done, which always feels good.

Saturday started off with picking up our Bountiful Basket. Yum! And then we spent the whole day just junkin' around town. We managed to get a few items, and had a good day together.

Sunday we had dinner with Erin's family and Brian's family at Erin's house. We had pork roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn and Kamille's famous corn flake "cookies". Everyone loves them....A LOT!

Today Jan and her sister, Sharon, and I went to Mesa. Our primary goal was to get a new line of paper at Scrapbooks, Etc., but we managed lunch at Cafe Rio, another stop at Mystic Paper and finally, Deseret Industries. That's always a fun adventure. You never know what you're gonna get. And we got!

It was a long, but fun day. Tomorrow is the Southwest Summer Scrapbooking Show in Scottsdale. It will be another LONG day, but it will be fun seeing all the new products, hearing Heidi Swapp speak and doing some fun make 'n takes. And on Wednesday, Jan and I were "invited" to volunteer at the registration table at the show for a few hours. It should be relaxing....at least I hope so. And on Thursday, we're teaching a Zutter class at her house.

If I had back to school pictures for all of the grandkids, I'd post them, but since I only have pictures of two of the school-aged grandkids, I'll have to wait until I get the rest! Hint! Hint!

Randomness

I haven't posted in several days, so this will be a bit random.
Mark and I watched Dallin and Luke last Thursday and Friday because their day care lady was out of town for a family funeral. We had a great time with the boys. They're so much fun and kept us laughing a lot. On Friday, Mark dropped me off at a local hotel for a National Scrapbook Day three-day crop. I only stayed two days, though. But it was fun. We worked/played from about noon on Friday until 2 am on Saturday. We were back at it by 8 am Saturday and I stayed until almost midnight.
Mark was busy with his Camp Lo Mia clean-up project. I had a good time with Jan, her sister, Sharon, a friend, Jolene, and about 60 other scrappers.

On Sunday after everyone was done with their Sunday meetings, we had dinner at Erin and Brian's house. The kids have such a good time when them get together. They especially like to dress up, put on skits and dance! Sunday was no exception. Eliza dressed up like a cat and even did her own make-up.

They all had fun doing a crazy dance. I got a kick out of this picture....Luke is totally airborn. I don't know why, but it made me giggle!


Today Erin needed to go to a quilting shop to find some cute fabric for a baby gift she is making. We took Ellie and Hattie along. They were really well-behaved and Hattie was especially funny. She'd walk along all the bolts of fabric and gently touch them and say, "This is so cute!" She'd say it over and over and over again. And we went to three different stores and she said it at each and every store. She must have repeated that phrase 100 times today! Erin and I (and all the other ladies in the shops!) got quite a kick out of her.

And Erin was asking a man at one of the shops about getting her sewing machine fixed. He asked what kind it was and she said, "It's a Brother." Hattie thought she was talking about the baby and she immediately pointed to her belly and said "brother". It was so funny. I don't think anyone but Erin and I "got" it, so they probably were wondering why we were laughing. Life is funny sometimes.
