CYBER CROP!! and a personal update



OK.....any scrappers out there ready for some fun???

Scrappy Giraffe is having a CyberCrop on Feb. 17. It's going to be a day of challenges, games and all kinds of fun!!! Bookmark the site and come down and play on the 17th - or for that matter - come today and join this awesome group. Besides having the greatest kits - they also have a kick-butt message board full (I mean, really FULL) of information about the scrapping world - contests, challenges, reviews, sounding boards....it's all really good.


And, on a personal note...
YAY - school starts again tomorrow. I love my kids. Love them dearly. But...I also love the routine of school and I love getting back into that routine. They're so excited about going back too so that's an easy transition. I remember now why I don't home-school. It's been the most beautiful weather over the Christmas holidays and they're all looking forward to playing with their friends again. The hardest part for them will be not having their Lego fix early in the day....I can almost guess how tomorrow 3:45 will go...the boys will run in, throw snow stuff on the floor where it lands, yell "HI MOM" as they run to their room, slam their door and play Lego till supper. Mica on the other hand, will try her hand at "babysitting" 'cause I'll have a new little girl here that I'm babysitting and she LOVES babies. I can see this working out just right!!

Oh, and our new fridge is being delivered tomorrow - Merry Christmas to me!! And...as an added bonus....the other night we had friends down and we were bemoaning the fact that our ugly, old, cream-coloured dishwasher is still working and that someday we'd like to get a new one to match the new black fridge that's coming and our friends said, "We used to have the same dishwasher as you and when we took the front panel off, there were white and black panels inside there - you can just switch them to match your decor..." so today we looked and Ta-da...just as it was fortold. So we now have a "new" black dishwasher too for the price of about 5 mins. of Trev's manual labour. Now, if only I could slide back a panel and find an extra bedroom around here somewhere...

Cool that you had black panels behind their! Ours actually had cream, and gold (you know that beautiful appliance color from the 70's)panels hidden in the door. I am glad yours had black instead.
