SO EXCITING...

so totally exciting. In a Scrap-Mart-blog-creative-new-things-big-goals kind of way!

BIG NEWS for tomorrow...


Scrap-Mart LIVE! goes on at 8:00 pm. Oklahoma time. Which is central-daylight time. I'm not exactly sure what all I'm going to have on the "show" - but know that it'll be educational, inspirational and probably full of bloopers. It's a learning process ladies, and I'm still learning!

So between now and then - click on the red words that say "this site". OH heck, just click here...

- in the upper left hand corner, under the UStream.TV logo - click on the "Sign Up" button and get yourself a screen name.
- fill in your real name in the next screen (with a few demographic questions)
- you can skip the next step (by clicking SKIP in the middle of the bottom of the screen) about importing your email addresses.
- when it asks you about your first show - just click in the upper right hand corner to LOG OUT

Viola! That's it. Just remember your screen name and your password. And don't forget to make your screen name something cute! Because you know - cute matters!

Then at 8:00 pm CDT, you can log in and watch a little demonstration, make-n-take, question-n-answer session. Since you'll be signed in - you can participate in the show. You can ask questions, make suggestions, interrupt me if I'm going to fast, or point out that I have something stuck in my teeth! All LIVE!

BIG NEWS for tonight...

 My big ol' box of QuicKutz goodness arrived this morning. New CHICAGO, new CHEMISTRY, new NUTMEG, new UNIVERSITY. How cool is that? I almost kissed Frank my UPS driver when he knocked on my front door. I just love good mail! So tonight - I'm playing. You know - so I have something to show you tomorrow. Thanks Scrap Baby J for gettin' it out so quickly (and I loved the Tootsie Rolls).

BIG NEWS for this weekend...


Well, I could tell you right now, but what fun would that be? I wouldn't have ANY secrets left. And what would I talk about this weekend. So for now - that's going to have to stay a secret.

BIG NEWS from early this morning...


I finished a "first day of school" scrapbook page. BEFORE THE NEXT FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! I don't think that has ever happened. It's a biggie for me. I think it even impressed my kiddos. I used the new Scenic Route line - Appleton. Which I am just lovin' right now.

And finally, the coolest BIG NEWS I can offer up...

HAPPY 100th SCRAP-MART BLOG POST!

Seems like just the other day Scrap Baby J and I were dreaming up this little "he said, she said" blog, that he and Miss Essie could have. Because she is always on the poor boy's case...and he just loves it and gives it right back to her. So we jumped in with both feet. Scrap Baby got us set up, Miss Essie began waxing poetic on all things scrapbooky. It was a really good thing.

Of course - where are they now? Scrap Baby works 1,785 hours a week and is in love. Miss Essie is knee deep in diapers and sends flowers to keep me on her good side. WHEW - for now, I'm just turning the other cheek and calling it "job security".

(wink, wink, GRIN)

You know what my friend Forrest always said...



(Have I mentioned lately that I love my job?)

I hope to see some of you tomorrow. Oh heck, I hope to see LOTS of you tomorrow. Essie promised to log in. Crafty Deb says she'll stop by. 8:00 pm is a bad time for Scrap Baby J...but he promised to try. So know that we'll be here - with the light on and the dies ready.
