what a week

Gearing up today for our big Spring Fling Crop~tons of new product in for it! We had to re-order Technique Tuesday stamps, they're on their way! Also on the way: all A-Z products, brand-new Paper Salon and we just got in Anna Griffin, adorable!

I've made it through week 2 of Kickboxing, hereafter referred to as ButtKicking! But my instructor and dear friend, Lexi assures me that I will look great by bathing suit time, yeah right! I've made a conscious effort to watch everything I'm eating, and I'm down almost 10 lbs, yipee!

Jacob starts baseball this week, that will be fun, it's coach pitch this year, no more tee! Sophie loves going to "class" (they provide childcare while I workout), she looks forward to Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings more than me!

Just got my Easter pix back from Costco and have all my papers, so I'm ready to scrap those! Now - just where do I find the time!

2nd. generation under the dogwood tree

Every Easter (usually), our dogwood tree is in bloom and every year my mom would march my brother and I out there for our Easter pics. Most of the time Rudie would be there with us, the girls having matching corsages! This year was no different, I marched my own kids out there under the dogwood tree! These pics are almost 28 years apart - look how our little tree has grown and our family too!

We had a nice break down in VA - the weather was o.k., not the warmest, but we did have some nice sunny days to play outside. Bella enjoyed the trip as well, and did great on the long car ride. We got lots of shoppin' done, caught up with family and friends and I even started and finished my Cape Cod album from last summer, posts to soon follow~

The store is really busy - we got amazing new stamps in from Technique Tuesday, gorgeous new paper from American Crafts and Autumn Leaves! Can't believe the turn-out for my Heritage Pages Class - guess there was a need!

happy girl...

Just finished this fun layout - new paper company Collage Press, that we've starting carrying at the store. Love the new gaffer tape out from 7 gypsies too.

Conference Sunday - my favorite of Sundays - just finished listening to the morning session, and have been humbled and inspired.

Jacob listened with me while we did these adorable bunnies (nestle treasures)to hand out at his Easter party at school on Thursday.

It's a beautiful, warm and sunny day - have been scrappin' too, will post them soon!
