Scrapbook Expo 2008

This is the second year that I attended the Scrapbook Expo here in Sacramento. It was so much fun. For those of you bored, here is the gallery of all the photos.

I will just share here a couple of my favorites.

We are family!

my week

this past week stunk like a pile of stinky socks.

i can't go into all the details, but most of it had to do with a sore back.

but saturday was my baby cousin's birthday, she turned two. pictures are on my phone, maybe i'll post them later. if you're lucky. (;

***you're lucky!  i just got these from my mom-in-law.  (:***

this week will be awesomer. even if my back's still not back to normal.

monday = sleep in, teach scrapbooking to k-3rd graders
tuesday = sleep in, teach scrapbooking to k-3rd graders
wednesday = sleep in, teach scrapbooking to k-3rd graders, hang out with my friends the Shreeves
thursday = sleep in, teach scrapbooking to k-3rd graders, hang out with my friend Grace (et al?)
friday = sleep in, scrapbook into the late night/early morning
saturday = work at the scrapbook store. it's the scrapbook expo in sacramento so we're having a crop party at the store during the day... and then heading over to the convention center to crop some more into the early morning!

fun time to be had by all...

hopefully my back will be all better by saturday because it's going to be a fun day.

my friends

ok, before i post about the mystery trip... (i'm waiting for pictures *cough*Robyn*cough*)

Some people I knew when I lived in Texas are in a band and they are going to take over the world one day... Eisley. Recently they were asked to perform at the local news station and here are two of their songs. My total favorite is Go Away. The other one is awesome, too. please take a moment to watch and listen. This is only 3 out of 5 of the band members. The one on the right is Sherry, she is sassy. The middle one is Stacy, she is shy. The one on the left is Chauntelle, she is serendipitous? I couldn't think of another s-word. The other band mates are the drummer Weston and the bass player Garron. They are brother and sisters and Garron is their cousin. Lovely family, truly lovely. The mom and dad have been mentors for me for the many, many years I lived in Texas. Their little siblings have been fun to play with. They have a beautiful house in East Texas that is always so welcoming.
