It's TIME for **FALL**
I've started back the AAM Challenges at the Paper Place and it's really going very well -- everyone is enjoying the challenges and doing them (which is even better!) The challenge for this past week was to do a layout about your thoughts, memories and feeling of Sep/11/2001 (6 years ago already!) Here's my layout:
=====================================
=====================================
You've got to go and check out Heather's blog -- her Sept 11 layout/photo is awesome (as well as Alan Jackon's song!)
I have some updating to do to my blog (it's been a long time since I posted on here) and I want to get some of my newer layouts on here too. Maybe I'll have some time this afternoon.
I just can't believe that it's September already! The kids are back in school, the days seem to be getting shorter already and.... it's actually cooling off a little :-)
I have been TAGGED! by Heather -- so here goes:
I must post the rules, then list 7 random things about me and then tag 7 others to do the same by leaving them a comment...so here goes...
1. I love yellow roses -- when I die (let's hope not anytime soon!) I just want everyone to send yellow roses, no other flowers. To me, yellow symbolizes peace and sunshine.
2. I doing the "Holiday Grand Plan" this year in very high hopes that I will have all my Christmas shopping, decorating and house cleaning done in time so that I can take a break and just enjoy the holiday season.
3. I (we, the family) have a cat, a cockatiel, a beta, a puffer fish, and 5 outdoor dogs (the oldest being a red chow named DUFUS who is the biggest baby!)
4. I drive a white van (this is the 2nd white van in a row that I've owned). Before that, I drove a white Lumina that I special ordered and before that another white Lumina that I special ordered and before that, a white Toyota Corolla, and before that a blue Toyota Corolla. Yep -- I'm one of those people who love white vehicles (safer) and I don't like alot of change in my life (aka, B-O-R-I-N-G)
5. I love love love to load the dishwasher but I hate hate hate unloading it (go figure!)
6. I'm a LIST sort of person. I have to write everything down and I have a list that I have to follow just to make sure that I get everything done (accomplished) that I need to. Otherwise, I feel lost and out of sorts.
7. I love to be outside and in my garden -- either my flower gardens or my vegetable garden is fine. I love landscaping and creating things outside from barron places -- nature is beautiful.
OK -- I'm going to tag these people:
Lisa (http://wellhownice.blogspot.com/)
Kelly (http://www.sevenkrazykids.blogspot.com/)
Debby with a "Y" (http://debbywithay.blogspot.com/)
Jeanne (http://justjeanne.blogspot.com/)
Kylie (http://kylieharbin.blogspot.com/)
I don't know 7 people online that have blogs!!! LOL

Harry Potter .....
I am:
You scored as a Remus Lupin
You are a wise and caring wizard and a good, loyal friend to boot. However sometimes in an effort to be liked by others you can let things slide by, which ordinarily you would protest about.
Remus Lupin 90%
Remus Lupin 90%
Sirius Black 90%
Hermione Granger 80%
Albus Dumbledore 80%
Harry Potter 75%
Ron Weasley 60%
Severus Snape 60%
Ginny Weasley 55%
Draco Malfoy 55%
Lord Voldemort 40%
I went to see the new Harry Potter movie last Saturday night.... my DD had a slumber party with two of her closest friends from school and they all decided that they would like to go and see a movie. Well, we got there (after eating pizza at Cici's UG!!!) at 9:05 PM. So, that meant we had to see the 9:30 PM movie. Guess what time it was over with???? 12:15 AM!! I thought I wasn't going to make it thru the movie without going to sleep LOL But I thought this movie was more interesting than the last one that I went to.

Home Today ;-(
Feeling a little under the weather.... actually since last Thursday. I have some kind of cold or flu or something. Headache, fever, congestion - so I decided it would be better if I stayed home from work today and not share it with my friends at work.
But, I did update my blog. Do you like the new title graphic? It's Rhonna Farrer (one of my favs!) and I picked up the blog title package at 2 Peas the other day. I just love Rhonna's style and colors. The title is "Bleeding Cowboys"; sounds gross I know but it's a cool font that I found that really matches the style of the graphic.
I've been working on the price calculations for both of the GCS Orange Beach events. I am hoping to get those completed and posted on the GCS website tonight. I would like to open registration on Jul/30 - that's my target date. I just love the Orange Beach events because there is a smaller number of croppers and we all get to know each other better. You can actually get to know 30 or 40 people in a crop room, very different than our New Orleans events where there is over 140 people. But they are fun too, just in a different kind of way. But I do feel guilty at the larger events because I don't feel like I have enough time to go around and individually speak to each person and that is something I would like to do.
I hope that you are having a nice day. Are you getting any scrapping done? All of my scrapping supplies are still packed up from New Orleans UG! I have a mind block when it comes to unpacking LOL

Whew -- What An **EVENT** :-)
I know that I haven't posted in a very long time. I get so busy sometimes that I just don't remember to post on the blog.
GCS New Orleans was an awesome event! It is the best event we've ever had in New Orleans -- we ended up with 144 scrappers!!! The place was rockin' and everyone was scrappin' and having fun. Can you believe that the attendees completed 1752 pages at this event!!! **WOW** This set a new record for the number of pages completed at a GCS event.
Our GCS Vendors were awesome! Special thanks for all the great scrapping supplies that all of you brought to us and also for the cool classes! Our vendors for New Orleans were Scrappersaurus (http://www.scrappersaurus.com/); Creative Memories Consultant, Kelly Guillory (kelann7@cox.net); and Close to My Heart Demonstrator, Vivian Brown (http://www.vivianbrown.myctmh.com/).
We also had classes offered by several ladies from the Sisterhood of the Paper Place Scrappers (http://www.paperplacescrapbooking.com/) Special thanks to Kim, Kelly and Wendi for the really cool ELMO classes.
Oh and we had a special surprise! Our very own Dawn Wilcox flew in from California to spend the weekend with us!!! Yeah!!! Dawn always brings fun to the scrapping parties at GCS. Everyone was so happy to get to see her again -- she's been gone for almost 2 years now (since Katrina). Dawn -- fly back in again as soon as you can girl!!
And Ms. Rita from the Scrappin Cats also flew in from the Carolinas to scrap with us! I believe this was Rita's 3rd GCS to attend! So glad you could come Rita -- it was very nice seeing you again :-)
We drew a very special name from our attendees to be our Queen for the GCS New Orleans Event -- congratulations goes out to Tammy, our Queen :-) She wrote this poem for us when she returned back home:
GCS New Orleans is so much fun
Because of the great staff and how it is run
We love all the groups and are glad they all came
The Cats, Divas, Mommas & Dellas, they all have great names
There's one group that's really rowdy, so you wallflowers beware
We all know about the corner and It's 5 O'clock Somewhere!
We learn in the classes and gossip with friends
And try to find strangers for secret pal gifts to send
Some travel far and some travel near
But when you get to GCS New Orleans there's no relaxin' here!
Scrappin' and dancin' are our #1
Because at GCS New Orleans,
Girls Just Want to Have Fun!!!!!!
We also played a new game during the Saturday night cropping party -- The Scrapper's Version of The Price is Right! Oh, so many great prizes were given away to the lucky winners! Congratulations!! I hope that I'll be able to get some pics to post.
Playing Secret Pals is always so much fun. I think it's the sneaking around and having people deliver your presents that is the best part to me LOL I got to deliver alot of presents at this event. It's great to deliver presents because you get to see people smile when you give them something.
Everyone loved the Scrappin' Packin' Mammas performance on Friday night! A couple of people missed it so they performed again on Saturday night -- awesome girls! I love the song -- you'll have to send me the words!
Got to run for now. It's getting way to late (12:08 AM) and I have to get up at 6:00 AM to go to work in the morning.
Hugs!
