today I won the bingo on our Creative Escape Yahoo Group. I thought for sure between being away at ARTistry in Vancouver (sorry I'd post about this but didn't really take any photos), coming home to no Internet and the time difference between the post (East to West Coast) I didn't stand a chance. Well, my horseshoe comes through again.
Over the weekend I won three free coffee's at Tim Horton's in their Roll up the Rim to Win contest. Not much, but still lucky. Last week we found out that we won three out of four volleyball champion titles. Not bad...I wonder what's next???
Today I spent most of the day re-arranging my furniture in the bedroom and guestroom. My mom suggested to move the bigger dresser from the guestroom upstairs since it was sitting there empty. Then I took Gracie's changing table (which converts into a shelve) downstairs for some guest storage if needed. Now I still need to finish putting our stuff away in the bedroom, but I had to quit. The original plan was to spend an hour doing this and after three I finally threw in the towel and stopped. I'm pooped.
So I thought I would do a quick update on my BLOG and then start working on my CE swap pages. (For all you non-scrappers who read my blog, a swap is when a group of people make a certain number of the same layout/embellishment/etc. and then each person swaps out with every other person. So in the end you end up with one of every item including your own. Quite genius really!) Hope I didn't confuse you too much...

Can't believe how time flies...
here it is the middle of March and what have I got to show for it?
A lot of 1/2 completed projects and many procrastinated ones too.
Our house is moving along at a snail's pace, it seems, eventhough Martin is putting in many, many long hours and coming home late most nights, including weekends.
Next Tuesday my BFF Megan is flying in from the East Coast and I am sooo not ready. I still need to pack my stuff, print out photos for the classes, get stuff ready for the Saturday night crop, work on my secret project, etc.
Ok, that's the second time I've lost my post today. So I'm just gonna quit. It's not supposed to happen...better luck next time.

Wow, it's been over two weeks again...
I can't believe how time flies when you're busy. It's been a rough couple of weeks, but what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right?
Martin's been working long, long days and is so stressed it's not even funny. I've been trying to keep my head down and ride out the storm.
Last night we finally settled down after he had worked all day plumbing the new house with Adam at a reasonable hour to watch a new movie I had picked up. If you haven't watched it yet, go out and rent "The Prestige", can't go wrong with Hugh Jackman. **sigh** Love those abs. A great suspenseful show. Also loved "The Illusionist" with Edward Norton we watched a few weeks ago, another show in the same genre.
Grace has been fighting this yucky cold where she wakes up in the morning with her eyes completely glued shut by mucus and gunk. Gross! She doesn't seem to mind, until you try to clean it off, but it sure looks painful. Needless to say her coughing all night and Martin tossing and turning has not made for restful nights these last few weeks.
I did go to the Spring 27-Hour crop here in Bellingham last weekend. Got a little bit done, but not as much as I would have liked. Isn't that always the case? Most of the problem lies in the fact that I don't know how to pack effectively for a crop. I always want to take all my supplies including the kitchen sink. But then I don't end up using half of them so that is a waste of time loading and unloading my junk. If I just take a couple of things to work on I usually forget a part of the project and halfway through get stuck. Then I get frustrated and put the whole thing away unfinished, which isn't' really the point of the whole thing.
I have another crop coming up in April. It's the Treasury of Memories sponsored "Mighty Max" crop. The fee is $100 and all monies go to the Mighty Maxwell Guild, to support Children's Hospital Uncompensated Care Fund so that EVERY child in the Pacific Northwest has access to quality medical care. So open your checkbooks and help me out here... Anything will be appreciated, we are trying to raise $10, 000 for the fund. It's a great cause and I can't wait to see all the wonderful ladies that participate in this fundraiser.
