I'm so surprised how busy that I've been lately. Just when I think things are going to slow down a bit. Well, anyway...there is reasons I have been so busy.
So I've been DYING to tell everyone. So tonight, I thought I would share. I have designed a new paper line & 24 stamps that will be RELEASED on May 1st. Yes, I was so inspired right after CHA W and came home that week and did this line. I have been playing with the papers this past week. I am so super excited. In so much, that SOMEONE- one of you will WIN the new paper collection by posting today. I will mail out the papers to the winner on May 1st.
Now, I know you will hate this, but I am only going to give you HINTS about WHAT the new line is. I KNOW...mean! Anyway, I think you will find that this line is a must have...it's very similar in feel to journal-it. I know not a huge hint, but you know it's a start.
EVERY day...I will start posting SNEAK peaks of my NEW papers and stamps. Any guesses????
Today we had two back to back baseball games. My son Zach hit a grand slam home run. Our team was down when he brought in the four runs. Then due some errors, the other team came back and won by ONE run. That is fine, but the problem was that one of the fathers from the other team, was OUT OF CONTROL. He was talking smack to all of the parents on our team. When one of our players made an error and the run came in, he yelled- JUSTICE, now that is what you get- JUSTICE. Then this man, got into the face of one of our fathers and told him over and over that he was "WHITE TRASH" and lots of the F word. It grew heated, in that the fathers from both teams and some moms, were going at it. I have been to hundreds of Zach's games, and honestly- this was a new level of CRAZINESS. I could not believe it. I was so saddened to know that the boys- 10 year old boys- had to see GROWN up men- call other men names. It was horrible. I wanted to stand up and yell..."it's just a game." Anyway, we lost and the boys were deflated. We rarely lose, but honestly, it's good for them to lose. YOU GROW by failure sometimes. Anyway, so loved watched Zach play. I am still shocked at the parents, and thankfully this is so not the norm.
My son Matt left today for Chicago. He attends BYU and he did his last final today and then caught a plan in the afternoon. He is doing what he did last summer- selling home alarm systems, for Protection One. I was so hesitant last summer, but it was not a hoax and Matt earned 80K in 16 weeks last summer. I know UNREAL! He was one of the top sells men of the year for the company. Now, he is going back as a manager (still selling) and has 36 people to manage. I miss him already. Wow, I'm proud of his ambition and drive. He is only 22 years old. I only tell you this, because we always hear the horror stories of people getting scammed. Well, with a lot of work and effort, you can earn great money if you work with reputable companies. Have fun Matt- we love and miss you!!!
Gentry was kidnapped out of her bed this morning at 5am. She was initiated as a MHS Spartonian (dance/drill team) member. They raided her closet and made her wear like 5 layers of unmatched clothes. Her top was a bathing suit. They blindfolded her and all the new girls and if they peaked, they got squirted with a water gun. They went to a girls home and played games, ate waffles, and got to know each other. It sounded like a lot of crazy fun. High school memories...the best!
I love the layouts that your sharing with me. LOVE...just know that I will start sharing them again. However, my computer is having some issues and I am using my husbands laptop until my new cord arrives. I still will continue to share, no worries. I love seeing them too- thanks for all your comments.
So post a comment, and you could win the newest BRAND NEW paper collection hitting the stores beginning MAY 1st. If you are a store and reading this....MAY 1st will be the day we will start taking orders on the new line. However, each day on my blog...you will be able to see sneak peaks.... I have been so wanting to share this so TODAY I feel so happy.
PS Marilyn, I want to thank you for touching my life. I am truly BLESSED to know you and call you my friend. Your example of love, and kindness are so cherished. Your one FANTASTIC mother. I think you need to start scrap booking now...K???
Have a great weekend- Teresa
