Finally

WOW...Wednesday was a blur. It was a very busy day...with lots of surprises and frustrations. My courtesy copy of the magalouge didn't show up...the ups man didn't show up...but I still had a great day.

BUT Today....the gods were smiling on me. The UPS man came and dropped off a box of magalouges for me and my courtesy copy was in there as well.

I am sooo excited about the Magalouge....so many cute stamp sets....some okay 3 sets are on the way to me....and I most likely will order another 3 or 4. I am soo impressed with this magalouge...i hope that the new catalog in late June is just as impressive....it was a good inpiration day.

I've got a busy Friday, Saturday and Sunday coming up. Friday...work as usual, then I've got a few errands to run. I want to decorate the sales office with hearts etc for Valentine's Day...and I need to stop by the floral supply to get some clear bags. I am going to be doing a stamping project for Sabrina for some of her clients. We are putting together Valentine bags for them, and I will be using my Just Rite Stampers to customize them....I'll take a picture for sure. I've got to go and look for some empty cd cases...to see if I can find a deal on them...new stamps coming need storage for them...lol...and what else....oh yeah....Saturday...workout with RICO, brunch with Diva...then home to do "stuff" around the apartment. Sunday, church and then I'm gonna stay at home...and just relax....

Here's to a happy Friday!

UGH....

So here is how it played out....My 4 bundles of magalouges just departed Salt Lake City with a delivery date of Wednesday.....yeah right....we'll see....my courtesy copy is still not here.

Did you hear me?? IT'S STILL NOT HERE.

What the French.......toast.....ugh so so very frustrated....Heather was wonderful and called me last night after she got home from the Movie...to do a play by play of the magalouge and even scanned a few pages that hadn't been posted yet....so nice....anyways......I can't wait to get it...

My two huge orders still haven't shipped yet...but there's hope...I called the home office and asked what day the were shipping from....and they said last tuesday...so i placed everything on Wednesday....as long as it ships by Friday I should be safe for my hostess club....ugh...the other gals are here at work so that's no biggie on the time frame.

Dinner was soooo yummy - panera bread has some awesome soups and now they list the calories....i know it's a good thing...but sometimes you just don't want to know, know what I mean??? Oh well....

Anyways...the movie Bride Wars was very funny....we had a blast...I did sneak two cans of dt dr pepper into the theatre...but really there was like 5 other people in there....so that was nice to have a free movie and a free soda....

It snowed this morning....what the??? LOL....ugh this winter weather....and the freaking contractor dude finally called me back....and he hopes to be done this next weekend, he said he'd call on Monday....ugh.....will it ever be finished????

Anyways.....here's to a ups delivery, a courtesy copy magalouge and shipping news for my big stamp orders....

What a FUN weekend....

WOW....did it ever go by sooo fast. I had a fun trip to Paperzone on Friday night and got all the stuff for the mailboxes I needed....hit the grocery store for a couple of things...and then homeward I was.

The night was pretty relaxing...and the it was Saturday....

Up and out to see RICO who killed me....seriously...who knew that tugboat ropes were that heavy...dude...seriously killed me....then I went and hit Walmart for a few things...including a cool veggie tray to go holder...for a freakin $5...such a dea....I know I have professed to hate Walmart - but every since I got hooked on their cranberry/apple sugar free crystal lite type of drink...I've been going...and I even found a package of chocolate covered pomagrants for pops.

I headed home, but stopped at the office to see if my TAC NEW Magalouge was there....bummer dude SO NOT THERE....ugh....then home to get ready for the potluck....got everything ready and then headed to the Ronda's. We had such a fun time....the kids were fun and crazy...just like I like it....then home again....

Sunday...the usual....headed to the 'rents' and indexed and cut all of pops stamps for him....and then a little dinner and homeward....and time to get ready for Monday Monday Monday.

Watched a little tv...and yes I did watch...the trainwreck of a show...Rock of Love Tour Bus...ugh...unbelieveable...lol...and then time for Monday...

Traffice sucked...but it was very cold and sunny....got to work....and NO Magalouge...so hopefully it would be here at lunchtime....ugh...NO SUCH LUCK...and then I checked ups to see where my big bundle of them were as they are supposed to be delivered on Wednesday...what the freak...they are "EXCEPTION ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS" in Salt Lake City of all places...ugh....oh well...

Getting ready to head out....heading to Issy to see Bride Wars with Heather....and gonna stop at Panera for some yummy soup before the movie....I'll report the location of the MIA Magalouge...the sad thing is Heather's arrived at her house today....SO MY SHOULD BE HERE TOMORROW....Unless Murphy Stikes...

When it needs to be easy and "Justrite"

So as part of my NEW YEARS resolutions in 2009...it is to be more prepared regarding the people I care about and their birthdays.

I so far have been 3 for 3 this month...with two left to go...I have had 3 people at work who have had birthdays so far this month....for two of the guys, I have made handmade birthday cards...for the girl..who's bday is today...I not only made her a card, but I made her a dozen personalized cards using my new favorite stamps made by Justrite Stampers.

It seems some time ago...perhaps October I got obsessed....along with my dear friend/partner in crime when it comes to all things crafty...and purchased some items from Justrite Stampers. The first thing I got was the 1 5/8 circle, a times new roman alpha set, some borders, a small alpha set. My purpose...to make all of my account executives holiday gifts...of personalized notecard set with the station info....and they went over like HUGE....seriously....which was soo cool...to make something, have it appreciated and actually stay in budget for the holidays!!! Since then, I have purchased a curlz alpha kit during the buy one get one and gave the other set to the craft friend..tee hee...and then I was given a gift of the large harmony II circle with borders and the baking set as well as a couple of other individual stamps...for the holidays from one of my wonderful account executives....so I am in love love love with this...they make easy gifts that are personalized so easily.

I used 5 12x12 sheets of paper (2 solid, 3 patterened all with a shimmer oh so pretty) and 8 sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 white and made, 12 personalized cards, a birthday card and a belly band for the clear plastic box...I found some pretty gray satin ribbon...and off I went....making the cards....here is a scan of the birthday card and the plastic box which holds the 12 cards and the belly band..which was so easy to make...I used left overs and then the border/center from Justrite and the "S" is from the Curlz set....so easy so fun...I am hooked.

I will also be making a set of cards for my dear friend Ronda who's bday is this weekend, and we are having a potluck on Saturday night to celebrate, I'll take pictures of that one...it will be more of a "Playful" palette...with blues and greens...anyways...here are the ones I made for Sabrina...now just to make Alan his bday card...and then it's time to get ready to make stuff for my nephews...And poor MEME...I have not only her stuff from her bday, but her holiday stuff...ugh....I'm gonna wait and give it all to her when I see here at the end of the month....

HAPPY 2009
