What a Wonderful Birthday

I have just completed, as my husband calls it, "My Birthday Festival!" I had a Birthday Crop on Friday, which was awesome and you can read below, a family birthday party on Saturday and a day of relaxation on Sunday ending with Ollie's custard. My DH even made me breakfast and washed the dishes on Sunday.

My husband bought me the Scotch ATG 700 tape gun that I wanted along with 12 rolls of adhesive. I should be set for awhile:) I also got $100 in GC to Hobby Lobby from my friends and family, and I was instructed that I had to spend it on myself. Ooh, that's a hard one for me, I just don't know what I can buy. But I'm sure I can find something:)

If you are looking for an ATG 700, this is the cheapest I've found it. When you add it all up, after the initial investment of the gun, the adhesive ranges between $4.17 and $5.98 per roll of 36 yards. This is a huge savings compared to the Mono Adhesive. Check it out! http://www.apakinc.com/packaging/category/adhesive-transfer-tape.html

I want to thank everyone for making this one of my best birthday's.

Awesome Birthday Crop!

I just had a great birthday gift from all my scrapbooking friends. I had a crop to celebrate my birthday this year. It was a gift to myself and them for scrapbooking with me this past year. I was not expecting anything, but I was pleasantly suprised. They brought me an awesome cake with a scrapbooking theme, ice cream and gifts too! I was so excited! I have the best group of scrappers. Yeah Me!!!

Thank you so much for everything:)

We had three new scrappers with us today: Pam, Lori, and Janna. They kept me laughing and won a bunch of prizes as well. And Julie scrapped at Creative Escape for the first time, she drove all the way down from Wisconsin!

Another Weekend Away

Well, I'm off to another weekend scrapbook retreat. I leave in only 3 hours, and I'm not even packed yet. I can't wait to leave and I'm hoping to get a lot done. The retreat is in Aurora and I'll let everyone know how it is when I get back.

If you still have not signed up for the All Day Extravaganza on July 26th, now is the time to sign-up. We have only 4 seats still available.

Wow! What a Day of Scrapbooking!

We had another great day of scrapboking and completed 59 pages/projects between 8 people.

We have so much coming up in the next couple of weeks, I hope you can join us. Check out my website for details.
