I WON!!!

I'm so excited! I woke up on Sunday morning and was checking my e-mail. I got the newletter from Scrapbook Oasis and my layout "Good Stuff" was in there as the winner of the CI contest they were hosting! What a great thing to see when you wake up in the morning! Thanks for picking my layout!!! Your guys really made my week!

I really love the site. www.scrapbook-oasis.com
Everyone has been so nice and they really have great things going on over there! I'm even trying out for their Design Team! We don't find out who the winners are until December 3rd...wish me luck!

Scrap Weekend Pics!

Got to love my best friend! She took these pictures of me and my sister and then the other one is of me and her! Love these pictures. There are more but I just thought I would share a few. We were in Whitehall, MI for a scrapbook weekend and before we left we went to the water and took these! We had such a great weekend! Thanks D for the great pictures!

BON JOVI...here we come!

Some of you know how much I love the band Bon Jovi...and of course Jon Bon Jovi! Dena, Beth and I are going to the concert on February 20th! We can not wait! The tickets went on sale this morning but we ordered from the pre-sale yesterday. We planned on getting better seats for the concert but they are hard to come buy because of these brokers that get the tickets and then sell them WAY above face value. Idiots. One ticket for the main floor is over $1000 -- that is awful. So, we will be sitting in the upper level admiring our boyfriend, dancing our butts off and screaming from way up high! Oh well...it's better than not going at all! (Enjoy the Bon Jovi music playing as you read!)

Hairdo Remorse

Ok...I'm having some remorse! It has been a week since my new hair cut and the day I got it...I loved it! That of course, is because someone else did it! Someone who knows what she is doing! Someone who is a professional! I on the other hand do not know how to make it look as good as it did the first day. And that makes me mad! She told me to buy a paddle brush so I ran to Target today to get one. We will see if that helps when I do it tomorrow.
With my long hair, I would dry it with my head upside down and just go or throw it in some hot rollers. Now I actually have to style it a bit while I'm drying it. That will take some time to get used to! It's not that easy. I wish I had lots and lots of money so I could have someone do my hair every day. That would be nice. I also think once the layers grow out a bit I will like it more.
Ahhh...the woes of getting your hair cut a LOT shorter!
I think I'm done complaining for now!

HALLOWEEN

This year Tyler was a football player and Kate was a princess! I was so surprised that she picked that b/c she usually isn't that girly! Don't get me wrong, she does like girly things but would much rather act like a horse or dog, than a princess! Trick-or-Treating was so much fun. We went out to my mom and dad's this year and the kids had a blast! Kate was really into it this year except she REFUSED to say Trick or Treat! Tyler got lots of attention for his Lion's costume. Some guys even gave him extra candy for being a Lions fan! It started to drizzle a little but the weather was perfect. Cool and a little windy but perfect for walking around on Halloween! Hope everyone had a fun night!
