Happy Birthday Tessie

October 25th was my Sister's birthday. We had a great night, we had gone to see the "Jersey Boys". We had gone with good friends and a co-worker of my sister. We had dinner at Rosebud's in Chicago then had gone to the play.

Afterwards we returned to Rosebud's for dessert. While we were there some of the cast members came and I was able to get their autograph and a picture taken with them! It was a great night.

Great Weekend

I am having a gret weekend, our Daughter Katie and her boyfriend and our Son Kevin came home from school for the weekend. My husband & I joined Katie & Matt for train trip to downtown, Chicago. We had walked to Millenium Park and then onward to the Cheesecake factory for a bit to eat followed by a trolley ride to Navy Pier. It was a fun time!!!

This is a picture of Katie & Matt visiting "The Bean" at Millenium Park, Chicago.

Computer

My computer is back! It was so frustrating, going without a computer for a week! Then when I did pick it up and bring it home the problem still was not fixed..... I thought I was going to be in headlines for wanting to throw the computer through the store window!!!! grrrrrrr but I did contain myself and I was back at the store the next morning and spoke with the manager. I did take a deep breathe before explaining my frustrations to him, so it is working now. I am so behind with working with my CT teams. I hope you ladies understand.... I promise I will make it up to you. I did get 2 awards while I was away!!!! YIPPEE. I will be posting them.
Our Son is home from college this weekend for fall break so we are enjoyig having him home. My husband went down to visit him and our daughter last weekend for Homecoming. It is also my husband's alma mater so he enjoyed the time with them. I will be back to post my awards.

CT call for Busyscrappin

Busyscrappin is looking for CT to work with their designers. I am on the team and the designers are great and very talented. So why dont you take a try at it!!!

Never Ending Energy Award

Leaonna from busycrappin gave me this award. I owe Leaonna a lot, she has spent endless hours and energy on me, teaching me and giving me suggestions on scrapping. She has been patient through my computer problems and with my dial up issue where as she could have just found someone else to work with. THANK YOU so much Leaonna!!

Now I have to give this award to 3 others......

1. Definitely my first choice is to Tracy of Latte` Dah designs she also has taken me under her wing to help expand my knowledge and techniques.

2. My 2nd choice is to Deb from 2MrsSumners designs She also has spent many nights chatting online helping me with computer issues and offering her help.

3. My 3rd choice goes to Stellarific Creations, I hadn't known her long but she was warm and open to me when I came to the team on busyscrappin. She is a great designer and also always ready to help me.

There are many more that I could give this award too but a lot of them have already received it.

AGAIN THANK YOU LADIES FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME AND TO LEAONNA FOR THIS AWARD!!
