FRIDAY FREEBIE...(put on hold for updates)

Due to my family going through a financial difficulty at this time, I have to look for a part-time (possibly a full-time) job to relieve some of our financial burdens. Unfortunately, this has caused me to make some changes in regards to CT participation.

I'd already been pondering the thoughts that I'd taken on more than I could handle when I was chosen as a Site CT, and had even been trying to figure out how I was going to find the time to be on so many. For the past week, I managed just fine, and still had time for family, chores, and play-time. However, adding a new job into the mix, managing so many CT's no longer seems plausible.

So today, with the utmost regret, I contacted several CT designers to give them my sincerest apologies.

THURSDAY TOM FOOLERY...and 2 LO's

Where has the week gone?? One minute it was Sunday, I blinked, and now the week is nearly over!! Guess time flies when you're scrappin'!! *giggles*

I had to spend several hours at the library yesterday to check e-mail and visit all of my galleries. WHY?? Well, once again, my procrastination took over and I forgot to pay the electric bill. ARGH!! So I had to rush out the door at 9:45am, (on 3 hours of sleep) to go to the bank to get the $$, rush to the electric company to pay the bill and reconnect fee, then off to the library to kill time until it was turned back on. (From past experience, turn-on usually is between 5-8pm) So, 11am-3pm Kat & I found a quiet little corner where I could set up my laptop and she could catch up on some reading. Then we picked up OS at a friend's house, took him home to get ready for work...and got a nice surprise!! The power was back on!! WHOO HOOO!! I took OS to work, came home, and celebrated the power being back on the best way I knew how...by taking a well deserved nap until it was time to pick up OS from work!!

Tuesday Thoughts...updates & LO's

#1. Being on 1 SCT, 3 CT's, 1 Temp CT & 1 Site-CT has kept me very busy the past couple of days.
#2. Though busy, I'm very thankful that I'm on each of these CT's!!
#3. Being on each CT is helping me learn how designers operate.
#4. Being on each CT has left me little time to design my own kits.
#5. So far being on this many CT's is working out time-wise, but if it starts cutting into family-time I'll have to leave one of them.
#6. If push comes to shove, choosing which CT to let go will be extremely difficult!!
#7. I love each and every designer to pieces!!
#8. Each designer has a unique style that I adore!!
#9. I hope that one day, my own designs equals theirs in beauty and in talent!!
#10. I pray that I don't have to leave any of my CT's soon...

**UPDATES**

After my eyesight fiasco of yesterday morning, and it clearing by the afternoon, I was able to pick up OS from work by 2:30pm. I dropped him off at a friend's house, then headed back home to put together a couple of LO's I had floating in my head.

I was lucky to have the quiet time...hubby was on the sofa in the den-SLEEPING, and Kat was in my bed-SLEEPING. Poor hubby had stayed online all night searching for truck parts and such, and poor Kat had stayed up for nearly 3 days while attending this year's PERSACON ANIME CONVENTION in Huntsville, AL.

'Til next time...Happy Scrappin'!!

THURSDAY TOM FOOLERY...and 3 new LO's!!

It's not a very amusing or fun day so far. My R.A. decided to scream in protest while I was getting ready for bed last night. So much so, that I'm still awake!! *sigh* So, trying keep my mind off of the pain, I decided to scrap...

I've got to tell ya, scrapping does wonders for me on these long nights. Not only for keeping my mind off of the pain, but for allowing me to wander down Memory Lane with each photo that I use. This particular trip had me remembering my daughter and my Momma.
