Horray! Lots of Product Arriving!

We have been getting so many shipments that I haven't had much time for creating. My blog will likely be rather boring for the next month or so. We are busy planning for a Scrapfest, our Spring Retreat and National Scrapbook Day (well weekend in our store). We are also hosting Kick Off To Scrapfest crops this weekend as well.

Don't forget about me in my absence! I will return, I promise.

New Toys for my Kitchen!

I recently purchased a couple of new appliances for my kitchen. I don't really love to cook, but we do need to eat and I try to cook healthy meals. Our weekday schedule is often very busy. I don't arrive home much before 5:30 and sometimes it is after 6pm. If I have to teach a class then Thursday's is often a messed up mealtime. Jay has hockey on Wednesday nights plus we work around Amanda's schedule too.

I have always had a crock-pot, but it is a small one and it is over 20 years old. I updated mine with this Wolfgang Puck version with an automatic timer and more even heating. I can't wait to try it out.

I also purchased this Wolfgang Puck double-sided indoor grill. There is a grill on one side and a smooth griddle on the other. You just flip it over! I know that we will use this a lot. I still don't enjoy cooking, but this might help........just a bit!

Here is it, Wednesday again! I had a crazy day and didn't have time to post my take on Regan's challenge at Little Red Wagon. I just sat down now so here it is........

Regan challenged us to use Copic's. I love them, but I don't use them often enough. I made this card for my birthday stash using a stamp set that my mom gave me from Close to my Heart. I coloured each image with my Copic's and added a little bit of Stickles too!

Be sure to check out what the others posted. You can click on their names on my sidebar. Hope you find time to play along!

Comment if you argee.......

Homework!

So, Jay was home from school yesterday with a sore throat and a fever. He slept until 2pm and watched tv for most of the day. Around 9pm last night he came down from his room and said that he had some homework.

In his English class on Wednesday they had started to watch the movie Freedom Writers. Due to his absence on Thursday he was not able to finish watching it and they were going to have an assignment to complete. He said he had to watch the movie so when he returns to school he would be able to do the assignment.

We dug into our movie stash and pulled out the DVD. It started out that just Jay and I were watching. Amanda was at the kitchen table working on her homework and when she finished she joined us. Soon after that, Matt came down from his room and found himself engrossed in the movie as well. We had to send Matt to bed (he did not think this was necessary) so he missed the ending. Amanda hung in to the end and they headed off to bed as well. Jay and I discussed the movie after it was over and then we called it a night too. My hubby was working late and missed the whole thing.

I told Jay that if he ever need help with homework like this, I would be happy to help! If you have not seen this movie, I highly recommend it. Needless to say, all the plans that I had for the evening were set aside. It means I have an extra long list for today, but it was worth it!
