Pirate Princess Croptastic Day

Today mom and I went to the Pirate Princess crop hosted by the Scrapping Turtle in St. Jacobs. Hannah, Lori, Theresa and yes, even Bob - went WAY above and beyond expectations and hosted a fabulous and affordable event... well, it would have been affordable if I could have stayed out of the store! (But that is the point isn't it ladies and Bob - mwaahahaha)
Breast Cancer begone was the theme and I have a boobylicious new pink pirate bra to celebrate because I could not walk the plank blindfolded if it meant my life! 7 spins and 7 steps - not a chance! I am happy with the bra anyway and it is indeed my size for those who might be interested!

Once my camera is up and running - I will post some pirate pics. It was a great way to spend a relaxing Sunday with Mommy creating and relating with some very nice ladies.
It was nice to see Jasmine and Mindy and hang with them again - and all the other wonderful ladies at the crop. I definitely think we got the better end of the weekend deal with only 8 of us there - that just means one thing right? More prizes! I am sure everyone walked away with at least one gift!
Awesome day! Can't wait for the next crop!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my sirius satellite radio

Selena posted a challenge recently to scrap something to do with technology that you could not live without. For me, that is my satellite radio. I am such a snob now about my radio listening. (Sorry Angie Mark and Bryan and Carlos Benevides) I cannot STAND to listen to terrestrial radio (say that with a snobby sneer please.)

Whoever I can convert over to the sunny side of the listening street I will!
Here are the Top Ten stations that I listen to in the car..

There are Two #1 stations that I love... read below for more details...

#10 The Blues
#9 First Wave (all the cool 80s new wave tunes)
#8 Buzz Saw (tons of Zepplin - more for Dave than me)
#7 Hair Nation (can you say Poison? How about GnR?)
#6 The Pulse (90s tunes mostly)
#5 Sirius Love (laugh if you will but you can sing along to EVERY song)
#4 Howard 101 (all the spinoff shows and other shock-like jocks)
#3 Sirius 1 (Current hits from all types of music it seems)
#2 The Big 80s
#1 If the kids are in the car - Radio Disney
#1 If I am by myself - Howard 100. Need I say more?

Some newer stuff

I made this for Rui so if he missed us during his days at JK he could just walk to his backpack and see pictures of all of us doing fun things and then he wouldn't miss us. He told me today that he looked at it and didn't miss us at all. Too funny kid!

You too could have this cake!!!

By just signing up for the Adult and Kid recipe swap on the Turtle... Made this one so I would have a picture to reference when I write up the recipe.

I can't take any credit for the idea - a lovely girl at work named Nickey told me about it - and hers is probably more professional looking - but I threw this one together with kids and it was a fun craft afternoon activity and then we ate the thing. Lickety split!

I think it's coming...

Thanks Jasmine for the boost! I started to try and get the mojo back by signing up for a bunch of swaps. Then today on this rainy blah day I started and finished a lot of my swap work... I made 6 Christmas cards for the swap, one for my collection of cards and a bunch of little packets of buttons for button swap.

Now I have the stuff all cleaned up again. See, I was up against a bunch of problems... ...company - so everything had to be put away all the time. I bought an awesome rolling shelf from Zehrs (not fancy - just functional) and put everything in drawers and out of sight - AHA! That's it right?

Add to that we got a new computer - great!! Except the router isn't right and though we can use it, things are not set up all perfectly and the email isn't switched over yet so we have to webmail in - which I never do hardly.

Then add that my camera takes gorgeous pictures but will not upload at all - which means I can't post anything or participate in the fun stuff because of that.

Lastly, my sister and BIL got me addicted to the Office which I never watched before so I have spent a lot of time in the last week or two watching all of season 2 and most of season 3 on DVD. Oh and the kids started school and switched babysitters this week. My world is conspiring against my art!! Tee hee...

Time to take off the pity party hat and get 'er done. I am going to look for a funny picture tonight and do something fun with my paper!

Smiles!

How can Kimmy get her groove back?

I lost it.
Brutal.
I am not inspired right now... Need some help!?
