Scrap Happy Girl

I'm a Great Aunt AGAIN!!!!!!! Jonathan Micheal 3 pnds : 13 oz and Mathew Lucas 4:00 pnds were born this morning! Everyone is doing well babies are in NICU they are great!.

Did any of y'all see snow last night? OK I know y'all have probably seen the news. Yes he will have layoff (again)for one week. They are calling a few they laid off back (he found out yesterday)! Seems that they are short handed and had a few more people retire than expected. Clipie will have a larger cushion! Yeah! He will be eligible for a 10 year retirement at the end of December giving us an out if needed. blessings a

Over the next few Weeks I intend to "review" the better part of my cartridges. I hope you enjoy it. 1.The first thing that is odd about the Christmas cartridge is (as Rhonda said at the crop) it has no info booklet. And that does make it difficult if you have glasses or need them. I suggest bookmarking the info page on the cricut library site. (hint you can enlarge screen on site look at the top menu bar) LINK http://www.cricut.com/res/handbooks/Christmas%20SP_GER.pdf 2.The second is more peculiar that odd. When you have inserted the cartridge and start the actually cutting process when it's done it cuts the image again making it a double cut. 3.The next is intricate cuts. I could not get textured (dcwv) paper to cut well. No I did not check my blade because it's not that old and yes i did make pressure and other adjustments to the blade its self. It ended up cutting best on smooth texture paper (American Crafts) and all the examples shown are cut on that paper. 4.It ...

OK so here y'all lets get down to business first thing, well I guess we could say second thing I slept in for the first time in a while and it felt good (I was up late last night). { taken from Betty's blog} Total cost per night per cabin is $93.65 this does include tax. Total amount billed to my CC $187.30,for the first night reservation. Nine of us are committed so that breaks down to $20.81 per person per night.........I emailed Michelle H my address and for everyone else I'll meet up with you some time next week, or the week after, etc.Just a suggestion - but how about we work out the other logistics (food, etc) at a later time.We can discuss at Card Class or in Dec. at our Christmas crop. GIRLS I'M SO EXCITED I can't wait!

84.95 a cabin = 169.90 (for two cabins 1 night) + taxes (10%= 16.99) + 186.89 divided by 8 = $23.37 (if you divide that by nine its $20.78 ) for the first night (and I'm taking it for granted that Betty wont need the other money until the event it's self) . So with 8 the total cost for lodging would be $ 46.74 plus food (for 9 it would be $ 41. 56 + food) and you'd be able to stretch that out, half now, half later. I hope I've helped more than hurt with info. We have nine responses Betty will need to know who is who. I don't see why all of us could not go we could bring a blow up bed or the like. I'm taking it for granted that y'all know we will be double bunking in beds (at least that's the way I understand it and if not I need clarification , if I'm wrong) OK so if you haven't please respond to Betty soon as you are able. She will let me know when the time is right to move forward and start making plans about food and such. I'll p...

Updates in Orange OK Scrappers a new adventure is on the horizon. In all our scrap happy ness we were discussing a retreat of our own. Where: Barren River When: January:Friday the 30 th , Saturday 31, and Sunday February 1st! Cost: 84. 95 a night (per cabin) more later. How long? Friday morning till Sunday checkout 11 am (Super Bowl Sunday) Who? Well so far, Chelle , dw , dh , Betty, Me, WE Really need one more person but would love to have three more. 4 people to a cabin, 2 cabins. Food: We would probably need more input on this but I think it was agreed that we would cook some and go out some. Maybe make a brunch at the cabin and out to eat for dinner ( I personally don't want to spend the weekend cooking) or very simple meals like crockpot or a pan of frozen Lasagna but simple not lots of food prep. OK so I've posted on the side bar for y'all to chime in ! Betty will need the money soon because to make the room reservation she needs to pay for one night in each cab...

So at the moment things are back to normal (as of Monday). We are back to our usual weekly groove. Clipie's dad is doing OK he is home and needs to exercise much more but he is doing better. Clipe spent a few nights with his parents, while I stayed with them the first night and went back to Moms all the other nights. No rest at all the first night so around 5 am I headed to my mom's for some real rest and discovered I would need to do that each night if I wanted any sleep. It was the first time Clipie had spent that much time with his parents since we married 16 years ago. Visiting did have some huge advantages, I did get to hold Alia and Leo (twins) and Talon all of them helped me rack up Great Aunt Angie status. Clippie had his baby freak on as well getting to hold and cuddle all of them. It's not every day people will had over a baby to a man who is 6'2, 48 and has no baby experience what so ever. The baby's were definitely the highlight of the stay. We also had ...
