I've decided that I should split this up over the next few days because I have A LOT to blog about! The last few weeks have been crazy busy!
We traveled around TX the first week of June. We went to Austin to see D's mom and drop the boys off with her. I also was able to have dinner with Patter...my Triple the Sketch "boss" and her three daughters (they're triplets). It was a lot of fun and very interesting to see 3 completely different personalities from 3 girls who looked EXACTLY alike. I don't have a picture yet...:( Coming soon, I hope!!
So then D and I headed to Dallas...he had to work...I got to shop and play. It was tons of fun. We ate at some excellent restaurants...I probably gained a million pounds and we actually got to spend some quality time together. It was a great trip. My last day there I went with Daniela to the GASC and we met up with Leslie. I have only "met" these ladies on-line...so I was a little nervous. But it turned out to be THE BEST day. We shopped till we dropped...seriously...We shut the place down!! And got some great new stuff!! We had a dramatic ending to our day, with tears, hugs and all. It was awesome!! :)
Here's a picture that one of Leslie's friend took of us...pretty cute!!
Ok...so now I am going to skip around a little.
On to some scrappy business...
CMK is having a DT contest called The Last Scrapper Standing...I thought, what the heck...sounds fun...and entered a LO for my entry...This here...
We had to lift a LO in the gallery of one of the current DT members...I chose Leslie's.
The next week they posted the first challenge, it was to scrap one of your weaknesses...Well...I only have a million so it was an easy choice...NOT!!!! I actually almost didn't make it in time because I kept changing my mind...but I managed to get it in...
And I am one of the top 20 that get to move on to the next round!!! They actually picked me (and 19 others) to move on!! I am SOOOO pumped!!! Now we have our next challenge...to do a card or altered item using a slogan from a T-shirt. EEEEKKK!! Pretty exciting and kinda nerveracking. The other 19 ladies are AWESOME!!!!! Soo...we'll see...If nothing else, I have had FUN playing along...and am totally humbled that I was even chosen to move on.
Well...I guess I will wrap it up for today. I'll post more tomorrow or Friday...I still have much more :D
Later...
