Well I've been AWOL for a bit.
Things have been crazy busy here...
4 kids are HARD work...H-A-R-D!!!
Someone,who shall remain nameless,(okay,It's Jackie hee-hee) once told me that 4 kids is waaaay easier than 3.
And she was so convincing....
Liar
She owes me a sewing machine...and a Beamer...and a new set of nerves...

Some of you may be painfully aware of the "B" word and how it was recently introduced into my life.
You know..."B-U-D-G-E-T"
Well,to bring everyone up to speed,Hubs suggested I go on a *gag* "budget" regarding my scrappy ways, earlier this year.
Of course I agreed *snigger*...(a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do and all that), and went on my evil spending ways, swiftly, albeit surreptiously.
The proverbial fly landed in the proverbial ointment the other day when the doorbell rang while he was home for lunch.
He opened it (but, of course!), and there stood the delivery gal from UPS,her knees buckling from under the weight of my gigantic box.
Hubs was his usual courtious self, plucked the box from her, shut the door and came into the kitchen, where I was now running through a bunch of excuses in my head...
"Angelina Jolie sent me a bulletproof vest to go unearth landmines with her in Iraq"...yeah, that sounds good.
Or, "That must be that new gardening stuff I ordered"...(you see Hubs has a dream/fantasy/wish to see me get my nails filthy and plant something so we can live off the earth and all that...)
Before I could say a word though, he plonked the box down on the counter in front of me.
>"CRAFT SUPPLIES-SCRAPBOOKING"...There it was in big,bold letters, emblazoned across the box.
Hmmmnnnnn.....
"So, how much do you think your scrapbooking stuff is worth?", he asked in a friendly kinda tone (what a guy!).
"Ummm...I dunno" I answered.
(what were you expecting...seriously!)
"Oh, take a wild guess...C'mon...for fun"...he coaxes gently (he's a wily fox that fella of mine)
It actually sounds like fun at this point.Must be his gentle tone and warm brown eyes and ...well, let me move on...
I think for a bit and say it in a way he'd best understand.
"Well, if I die tomorrow and you sell all my scrappy stuff, you can buy yourself two B.M.W's....get both those models you're lusting after".
And that's how he got that concussion when his head hit the floor.
True Story!

Monday morning Giggle
A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10-lb weight loss program.
The next day, there's a knock on the door, and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19-year-old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.
She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss Company.
The sign reads, 'If you can catch me, you can have me.'
Without a second thought, he takes off after her.
A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up.
The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens.
On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs as promised.
He calls the company and orders their 5-day, 20-pound program.
The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life.
She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, 'If you catch me, you can have me'.
Well, he's out the door after her like a shot.
This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck.
So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.
Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs him self, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs as promised.
He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day, 50-pound program.
'Are you sure?' asks the representative on the phone. 'This is our most rigorous program.'
'Absolutely,' he replies, 'I haven't felt this good in years.'
The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it, he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, 'If I catch you, your ass is mine.'
He lost 63 pounds that week.

Circle Journals
Have you been part of a circle journal group?
Did you love it? Hate it? Would do it again in a heartbeat? Wild horses wouldn't drag you there again?
I love it!
I put together a small group last year. It was my first experience of a CJ group.I picked a few friends I already knew and we all got a group going.It was so much fun learning about everyone as the journals came around, and my finished journal literally moved me to tears... powerful stuff!!
That group will come to an end soon, and I feel sad, but enriched by the experience.
People may think that these groups are for scrapbookers only, but I disagree.I gave my MIL the idea when she was here,and she was very interested in starting up something like this with her group of seniors (at least that's what she told me :) ).
All you need is a journal,a few pics and a great pen.
I'm in the process of putting together my next group, and I love how it's turning out.
It's addictive I tell you!
You should try it!
