Taxes are done and filed! Yea!!!!! Now I can concentrate on the "fun things"! I have tried to scrapbook a couple of evenings during the week. I have been successful. Will give you my totals to date later....left that info at home. I have been scrapbooking some really hard things for me...pictures of my dear mother. Her birthday would have been on Monday the 14th. I was her early birthday present, as mine is Saturday the 12th. This will be the first time my mother will not be able to call and wish me a happy birthday. Going to be hard, please keep me in your prayers....The pictures are wonderful, but very bittersweet as these fun times will never be again.
I am having a crop on Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th at my church, Central Carolina Community Church. Hope we have a good turnout. I will let you know more later.

All, have a good day!

This past weekend we had a Crop at C4. I got 13 pages done...whooohooo. Congratulations to Judy Ward who won the drawing for the Mystery Hostess for the Gathering. Way to go Judy. Whooooo will it be next month?? I have made a deal with myself that I can not scrap anymore until I get all of our tax stuff together to take over to the CPA. I am not one of these people that can just take a "box" of stuff over for them to sort through. I have to organize it! Later...

Off to a good start!

This past January 7th through the 9th I went to a weekend scrapbook crop. I was able to finish 29 pages. I did other things, like fixing up some other pages, but from start to finish, I did 29 pages! Last night I did another 4 pages. I am trying hard to get at least 200 scrapbook pages done this year. I will not be able to scrap anymore until I have all of our tax information together. (I do hate having to get this all together, but I have no choice!) So the incentive to hurry up or else I don't get to do anything "fun" is out there.

Another goal that I have this year is to start a Scrapbooking Club. I hope that I can find some interested people to join me. More about that later....

I am so excited! This past weekend I was finally able to get my Master's Degree with Close To My Heart!! I am thrilled...now to start working on the Ph.D. part of the Degree. I love these online classes and training that Close To My Heart offers in four areas: Business, Personal Development, Creative Training, etc. It took me almost a year to get my Bachelor's Degree, but the Master's took a little longer. I love how this Company really helps you to succeed! Anybody out there that might be looking for another job, this is a GREAT Company, and I would love to share this experience with you! Let me know!
