Texas Crop* *Oct 1-3* *Reserve Your Spot Now!!

hey scrapnhappy did that printer work??

OMG - I had so much fun! Thank you for a wonderful great relaxing weekend that I really needed...it was so great to meet all of you and to see you again too Angie!

I came home and called my gal pal and told her I wanted to move to TX (hee hee)

Sorry to hear your about your friend Lisa... and Jamie - so glad you could make it - we were wishing you could have made it the 2nd nite too! Thanks again ladies - I miss you already!

I have been looking at all the pictures. They are great, I will download some of mine when I get home from work tonight. I was just too tired to do anything but look at them last night. It was so much fun this weekend.

Hooking it up tonight!!!! Thanks again! U da Bomb!

Cynthia - I'm so happy to see the "new" you on your avitar!

I forget who suggested using her as my avatar, but she fits me well...

I should probably work now, but I'm still buzzing from this weekend and find it difficult to focus.

That's why I took today off. I have laundry to do, groceries to buy and scrap stuff to unpack - but here I sit. It's raining and I don't feel like doing anything!

I woke up in such a good mood today (even though it was pouring rain). Thanks, ladies, for the lift!

I should have listened to Barb and taken the day off, I have been tired all day. I got north of OKC yesterday and the sun was shining. So you guys are keeping all the wet weather.

<------It was time to put Jon away and get ready for basketball season!

Ten minutes left, then I can go home and crash. Maybe I won't unpack tonight... ZZzzzzzZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZzzzzzzzzz

Guess what we had for dinner. . . Chicken Tetrazini! DH put his only twist in it but it tasted the same. It was great. Thanks again Barb for dinner and the recipe.

I love the new avitar Cynthia!!

You are very welcome - I'm so flattered that you liked it well enough to have made it already! What twist did he add to it? I might want to try his modification!

Cyndi - glad you followed my suggestion - I told you it would be great for your avatar!

Barb - I am making your dish tomorrow - I can't wait to have it again!

And remember how you guys were telling me about N'awlins? Well I'm going! I am going with my girlfriend in Dec for her birthday - can't wait!

Hope you like it as well the 2nd time around! Remember, it heats up great.

I can't believe you already have another trip planned - girl you get around!

Don't work too hard tonight.

Taunja - you're going to love the Quarter in December! I'm so envious!!

Well give me all the suggestions/recommendations you can think of - I am so excited and my girlfriend is so excited that I asked her to go there for her bday - and she loves to do all that tourist trap stuff that I do....Angie I think you said there was a vampire museum or something? And what hotel should I stay at? And any other things you highly recommend? We are only going to have 2 full days there - we will fly in late Monday evening/nite and have to leave first thing Thurs am...but I have 2 months to plan all this...so anything you can think of will be great!

Man I wish you were going to be in the Big Easy Dec 9-12 as we could hook up - that is when My husband and I will be there. We love it there! I think we may do the spook tour! We are staying at the St James but last time we stayed at the Omni Royal and it was nice. I've also stayed at the Astor Crowne and it is nice also. All the hotels are pretty much within walking distance of all the happenings. We booked our trip on excite.com and got a good deal. I would recommend trying that.

Thanks all for the sentiments on the funeral - freak boating accident. You never know when your time will come.

I am so looking forward to another get together. Haven't had time to hook Amanda up yet on the boards. We have been going different directions once we got back as work is hectic.

More later....

Does anyone know where to get info, or have info, on opening a scrapbook franchise or store?

Oh Lisa has the fever! Just buy a house and rent it out to scrappers - but turn one room into a store!

Oh! Lisa,
You and Amanda must have planned your new store on the drive home, huh?!?! Open one and I will drive to OK to see it!

Hey Angie - did the key ever arrive?

As of yesterday....NO! But maybe I'll have it by the time we need the house again.

I think they should just let you keep it, for next time!

Barb - DH used portabella mushrooms and seasoned that and the bell peppers together first with some white wine. He chose just to make it on the stove and mix the cheese in instead of baking it in the oven. It was good. My friend and I finished it off today at lunch.

Lisa - a SB store huh. Good for you. I'm not sure where you could get info though. Let us know if you find anything.

Everyone - I've been thinking about you guys all day. I miss being able to do nothing but scrap all day with no worries. That was the best mini-vacation I've had in a long time!! I'm going to my parents house to housesit until Sunday night. I'm bringing all my SB stuff since it's still packed. Hopefully I can get my wedding album done.

Cynthia - I broke down and bought the big thing of chalks. I figured I may as well when I went to go get some more black Bazzill.

Wow that was long. . .

Yep! I'm going through Greenhouse Gang withdrawals.

Withdraw factor on a scale of 1-10, I'm at a 12!

Melissa - sounds like he made some good improvements to that recipe - I may give that a shot next time.

Can't believe that you've already bought more supplies! Have fun house sitting. Will you have access to the boards from there?

When I came back from running an errand tonight, Alex asked me if I had been to another scrapbook party....I WISH!!!!

Made myself laugh!!!

Just glancing at the screen, my minor dyslexia set in and instead of seeing Greenhouse Gang, I saw Gang Green house . LOL!

Yep, at least a 12 on that scale, Barb.

Oh My Gosh! Jamie asked for my scrappy chic design so she could create a t-shirt to sell on her site. It is already out there. That girl doesn't mess around!!

Isn't that too cool. I saw it and I think I just have to have one!

THat is soooo cool! I want one!!!

She got it out there so quickly, I just had to laugh! I need to order one too, since her print quality will be better than my original.

I'm just so tickled--right now I have a really dorky grin that just spontaneously pops up on my face when I think about this.

I know I am going to order one. I don't even wear that many tee shirts, not I am getting them all over the place.

That is cool, Jamie is definitely on the ball. Yes, Barb, I do have access to the boards but it's a little more limited - I pay more attn to my kids when I'm over here. Last night I was able to get 2 more LOs done for my wedding album. I'm hoping to be done with it by Sunday when my parents come back. It was kind of nice already having my stuff packed. It gave me an excuse to bring it ALL along.

Did you watch Lost? It is soooo good. I wanna know what she did - my husband said that the writers have written that part yet!

2 more pages - you are smoking. I've gotten 3 done on Europe since we came home. Maybe 1 more tonight.

Lynette - I've been spending lots of time in my pajama pants - how 'bout you? I love these things, they are so comfy!

Hey gang! I'm still trying to find time to check into franchise opportunities ... and I may have a house option like what we stayed in. Wouldn't that be cool. I really enjoyed our weekend and am looking forward to doing it again.

Amanda and I have been super busy here at work so we have not had time to show her the boards. Hopefully we'll get to this soon. It is customer service week so our week is busy with fun filled events at work. Tomorrow we are going to LaserQuest with 30 people - should be a blast!

LaserQuest?!?!?! I want your job!!

Keep us updated on the store or the house! I'll supoort either with a visit to OK!

Sounds like great fun! Cynthia if you go to OK, I'll be standing along I-35, if you slow down I'll jump in the car with ya!

LOL!!! I'll swing the door open for you, Barb!

And you gotta go through Denton on the way up there, so be looking for me!

Road trip!

OK, Lisa. The pressure's on! You've got three die-hard scrappers ready to cruise to OK to see you and to support your store or house--whichever way you decide!

Happy Thursday Cynthia

It is Thursday, Isn't it?? Can you believe it's been a week already since we all got together?

No, I can't believe it has been a week--especially since I still have a huge sleep-deprivation situation in my life. Tonight will not help either -- dad's coming over again (this time with BBQ) to watch Survivor. Hope Brady makes it another week.

At least he comes bearing gifts! I'm hoping that Amy makes it this week. It's also ER night.

Man, I forgot about ER. It will be midnight again before I turn out the lights. UGh!

Ladies... just wanted to let you know that the details for the next crop are over at my site

McGyver has signed onto the board. She was a bit lost and pm'd me, I told her I would pop this to the top of the forum so she could find it.

Keeping this bumped to the top for Amanda!
