good news...

wow. it's been a very crazy busy last few days but it's now 12:02am and it's all over...

SCRAPAGANZA 3 that is!!!

i was a vendor/teacher again at the semi-annual Scrapaganza in stonewall, mb for my friend allison's big event! ( she owns the SCRAPYARD in town ! ) ...she hosts this amazing 'crop' at the new life church in stonewall and this time we had DOUBLE the ladies than in the spring in april!!! ...120!!!...it was very hectic but soooo much fun!! i can't believe how fast the day flew by!

the event was from 9 this morning until 8 tonight...but mike helped load up the truck and the van yesterday afternoon and after we picked up courtney from school and dropped the kids off at mom's, we were ready to go out to start setting up!!!

...well, after i got this totally cute pic of my niece airiel with grandpa going for a walk when we arrived at mom's!! i'm glad grandpa was up for a little fresh air to stretch his legs!

...mom called me yesterday afternoon asking if it would be okay for me to take GRANDMA along to help me set up my store!!! she wanted to see everything and check things out, to see 'what all this scrapbooking stuff is all about'...so cute! after asking her several times if she was up to the approximate 4 hour adventure, grandma assured me that she really wanted to come along! ( she needed a break and a change of scenery ) i thought it would be good for her too!!

so, slave labourer that i am, i put my 86 year old grandma to work filling paper racks and hanging stock on peg hooks!!! SHE HAD A BLAST AND WAS GIGGLING AND SMILING THE WHOLE TIME!!! man, was it good for her! ( hey, and me...free labour!! heeheehee...)

she was so dang cute hustling around and asking for things to do...she really wanted to be a part of everything and i LOVED having this time with her and letting her see what i do almost every weekend with ' all that scrapbooking stuff'....well, just not this big though!!!

...here's a few pic's here and there of 'my store' once we were all set up for today...

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH GRANDMA AND MIKE FOR ALL YOUR WILLING HELP AND EXCITEMENT FOR ME AND FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!!!!
