I Love My Kitty!

This is Zoe...

She has quite the life...

She loves us and we love her...

Masterpiece Memories

This is the name of my scrapbook store. Not mine, like I own it, but mine because I love it. I work there a few times a month and the girls are like my family. I'm sad to say that the store will be closing in the very near future. I will miss the store and the product very much. It will be hard to shop at another store, not to mention that there isn't another LSS in Kalamazoo (only big box stores). Life is all about change and we are in for a change. Not one that any of us want, but a necessary one. I'll miss "my fun job", but I'll miss the girls more. I see parties, scrapbooking nights and BBQs in our future. Masterpiece Memories.... that is what we'll take with us!

Allison, the Family Photographer

Allison is 14. She was just accepted into the Education for Employment Photography class for next year. She is so excited! Allison is a great photographer and has a very creative eye. I'm sharing some of my favorites that she has taken.

What do you think? Talented, huh?

Wow...

It's been more than a month since I've posted on my blog. I'm sorry! I keep in touch really well on Facebook and occasionally on Twitter. I really need to try to be better! Today I'm going to enjoy looking at the blogs that I love and have missed. Here are just random photos of the last month of my life!

My teenage Beauty Queen and me!

My dear sweet hubby traded his camaro for a truck.

A drag racing truck... watch out race fans - here comes Greg!

Here's Elvis!!! My brother's family just got this adorable

Golden-Doodle puppy named Elvis. I'm in mad love with this dog!!

My dad, Elvis and Rick.

Kaitlin and Elvis on Easter Sunday.

I'm still obsessed with BON JOVI!! I'm not counting down

the days just yet, but can hardly wait for July 30th. Chicago,

Bon Jovi, two awesome friends... really something to look forward to!

The 2010 Food Marketing Conference! We put so much work

into this conference and it was a huge success!

The Marketing Department Banquet. Me and my girls, Jen and Sara

and then us with the work study students being our usual goofy selves!

So, I've been busy the last month or so! I also been crafty and made

some jewelry, scrapbooked a few pages and helped my friend Beth

make her wedding invitations. Life is good, it's full and happy and

my goal is to try and share all the love

with my friends in blog land!! Stay tuned...

The bad blogger award....

... goes to me!
Sorry! Work is so busy. My conference is March 24-25. I have no time to blog and really not much to blog about, except work!! I'll try to be better after the conference. Until we meet again....

12 Hour Crop, Moving Child and New Room

Well, hello my blogging friends. My 19 year old daughter has officially moved out. She and her best friend have moved into their new apartment. They are both exhausted and excited! Greg is currently at the grocery store with them buying them their first few groceries! It's just too cute! We said we'd help where we can, but they are on their own. This is a good thing for all of us!

So, because she has moved out of her room, I once again have a scrapbook room! No, I didn't waste any time! I was very happy to have a room again. I had my stuff in the basement, and then a table in my bedroom... just not efficient. So... here it is. It's pretty plain right now. I'll keep working on it over the next few weeks. When we first moved here this room was my scrapbook room. Kaitlin wanted to have her room in the basement. But after a while she realized she didn't like that and I really wanted her up with us. So, we moved everything around. Now that she has moved out, I am excited to have my room back!


Yesterday I went to an all day crop with my friends. We had a fun day. Tons of snacks and laughs and several layouts complete! That's always a good day!







And just because she's so darn cute... Zoe is catching the mouse!



I'm now off to do the dinner dishes, finish folding the laundry, do my nails and get ready for work tomorrow while watching good Sunday night tv! Have a wonderful week everyone!

Super Bowl Sunday

So, just ignore that I haven't blogged in almost a month. Sorry. I'm a busy girl at work right now. And at home. Here's why...

I have to feed the fish.

And of course there is all the piles of laundry.

And then there is the belly that must be scratched.

This is very important!

I made Valentines. You might get one.

Isn't that a good reason for not blogging?

And then there is that little obession of mine.

And it was Superbowl Sunday after all. How could I go to a party without bringing something homemade? I just couldn't. Here's my cupcake football. Don't laugh, I know it's the funniest looking football ever, but hey... I was getting into it!!

And just before we left for the Superbowl party, Greg spotted this.

We new they were around all the time. Check out my back yard highway!

So, that's why I haven't blogged in almost a month. Forgive me?

I'll try to do better from now on. At least once a week, ok? Thanks, friends!
