TIME TO TRAVEL

Well, I'm not traveling for about three weeks, but I have been thinking A LOT about traveling. I'm getting ready for my trip. I am doing the pre-trip stressing. I have so much going on- my daughter graduates from High School in 2 weeks. (I'm sad & Happy for her at the same time!!!) I always said that I loved getting married at 19 and having kids so young. Now, I realize I'm not ready to let her completely grow up!!!! Taylor came home from school yesterday to let me know she will graduate with a Science Honor special award. She didn't apply for it (norm) and the school counselor found her  and told her to apply she was the top student to get it. COOL!!!

Baseball is in full swing and Ty or I will be found at a ballpark/game every day (except Sundays). I love it and it's my favorite sport to watch!!! McKay is getting ready for her end of year dance recitals, and choir concert. WHY do they WAIT for the year end to DO EVERYTHING???? I have to run in two races this week- Fun, Fit, Walk Run with little Ty on Friday with his school and Saturday- a 5K with the church youth going on TREK (camp). I am so happy to be busy...but wow, it's nonstop.

They are trying to have my kitchen done by the time I leave for the UK in 20 days. I am so over the top worried about everything. Right now, it is very SLOW. I am not seeing a lot of progress. Tomorrow there is supposed to be (promised by contractor) non-stop action going on if they are to complete  the house/kitchen remodel on time. I sold my appliances, and listed them on line at KSL.com on Monday night. I sold a refrigerator, range and built in microwave oven within ONE HOUR. Wow...FAST! They will pick them up tomorrow- so I will officially be without my kitchen. This is what I have been dreading!!!! However, the bright side is the appliances sold.

I guess...this post is simply that I am beyond busy. I am finalizing lots of artwork. I am over the moon happy with my CHA S releases. Every time I do a line, I can't decide what is my favorite. I have many favorites this go round!!!! Oh, I am taking Taylor to CHA S with me. She has begged to go for years. Since she is now graduating and older, I am bringing her to the show to help do one of my make n takes. THE MAKE N TAKES for this SHOW are OVER THE TOP...I mean, if your at the show you will want to RUN TO MY BOOTH!!!!! Okay, maybe not RUN, but we are doing something pretty AMAZING!!!! I also have Jamie Harper in my booth again to help with another Make N Take. I am so blessed to have Jamie working with me. She sent me a project she did for the booth yesterday- Want to see it????

Here it is- TRAVELOGUE:

    

Whether your traveling near or far...I hope you remember to document your journey. Jamie's book is so cute!!!! I have to go- but tomorrow, I plan to share more projects that many of you have sent to me. THANK YOU!!!

Remember, send images of your clear dome rings!!!! You will be so sad, when you see the prizes that the 5 winners get, if you didn't enter. Oh, did anyone watch American Idol last night???? Thoughts???? Who do you think will be voted off tonight? I think at this point- it could be anyone. I really didn't like the song the producers choose for David A. to sing last night.

More soon-

I really love travelogue, I think it would be perfect for my upcoming deployment! I'm trying to find out where I can get a hold of your stamp sets that you posted in a previous blog entry! Hopefully I run across a store soon.

I just read info on your clear dome ring contest! I will work on mine this weekend! Enjoy the rest of your week!

The 3 finalist are all good and it should be a tie for all 3.

I think David the rocker is going to win. I think the girl will be gone tonight.

Each has good songs and bad songs. Never has it been so close in talent. Thanks for chatting about the show.

Teresa, I watched AI tonight for the first time this season (thanks to you and your blog!). I watched for you when they came to your home town. How fun!
And WOW...David A. is in the top two. This has to be so exciting for your home town.
Take care,
Trina

I felt just like you do when my oldest son graduated from high school last year. He has spent his first year away from home 3000 miles away at the Naval Academy and although we are VERY proud of the young man he has become, I miss him soooo much! I am trying to hold on to the ones still at home - LOL!

I am very excited about your new releases, your lines are so wonderful to work with!

I would LOVE to go to CHA - how fun!

I'm so glad to hear there are other people out there as insanely (is that a word?) busy as I am. I've been told that I thrive on chaos, honestly I must. I'm sure you can relate! If I didn't have so much going on all the time I'd be bored to tears so I completely understand about being grateful to have so much going on. Our lives will slow down for a little while though my baseball player was playing Navy football at school and someone hit his hand, breaking his finger on right hand. He had to have surgery today to fix it. ERRR!

Be safe on your trip and have a great CHA show. I wish I could help you but it sounds like you've got it covered.
