We're in the NEWS!!!!

So I'm trying to get a few swaps going on Split Coast (a snack swap and a fall swap). Not going so well. Maybe it's partly because I'm busy and haven't had a chance to really tell many about it??? Who knows! BUT you can see my women's group in the news next week!

If you go to this link http://www.candgnews.com/Homepage-Articles/2008/7-9-08/EF-WIN.asp you can view our story, which is set to print in the Eastsider next week. They are also going to try to get it into the Warren Weekly, but there may be no room.

WOO HOO!!!! I'm so excited I could scream....off to surgery (minor) now lol

Have a super day!
Bridget

Here I am!

Did you miss me? Sorry I've been extremely busy with my women's networking group. It's turning into a full time job. We have an expo coming up in September so I'm looking for vendors. We are also producing a coupon book and sales from the book go to Rainbow Connection. OH! Did I mention the expo is a fundraiser for Rainbow Connection as well. In addition to that, we are raising money for Habitat For Humanity Women Build. Every Wednesday in July, from 9am-12pm at Biggby Coffee in Roseville $1 of each drink sold goes to Women Build. July 19th will be family day at Biggby with money also going to Women Build. AND I'm starting a women's newspaper. YEP! I'm busy :)

But a few months back I joined a teddy bear swap and finally finished them. I thought I better hurry since they are due July 1st. YIKES! You can't really tell from the pick, but the belly has fun flock on it. Man, what therapy that was. I should do therapy once a week haha. Enjoy....

I've been Tagged!

It's been way too long since I've posted. My women's networking group Women In Networking is having a women's expo in September so I am preparing for that. We are currently looking for vendors, but others can go to our website and register for a gift basket. PLUS we are doing a coupon book and looking for sponsors for ads. Ads start at just $25. Once we have the book filled we will be selling them for $10 each and the money will go to Rainbow Connection. Besides, baby, husband, house, I've been swamped. I usually make my mom a calendar page each month and she hasn't gotten one since April. OOPS! In the mean time, my friend Dawn has tagged me so here it goes.....

10 years ago I was: Married, to a different man and getting ready to divorce. I've since remarried and I've already out done this one haha. Where was he 10 years ago. Shortly after I relocated to Atlanta Georgia, which I absolutely love, because he went psycho on me. I was working at Home Depot as a Customer Service rep and decided that I would try to get into home office there doing what I love, accounting. But turns out the corporate people are treated like dirt so I stayed with the store. I could go on, but it says 10 years ago not my life story haha

5 things on my to-do-list today: Clean my house (ick), do my moms June calendar page, get more vendors, get a business plan together, get sponsors for my coupon book.

Snacks I love: CHOCOLATE! Ice Cream, popcorn, need I say more??? I like Dawn am not doing so well with the weight thing because I lurve my snacks. I'm trying the 100 calorie packs now in hopes that it will help.

Things I will do when I am a millionaire: pay off my house, payoff my debt, buy my mom and sister a house, donate to charity and fund my sons education plan should he decide to go to college. OH! And hire a live in nurse for my grandmother so she can have more freedom from my sick grandfather.

Places I have lived: My whole life? I could be here all day! In Michigan: Hamtramick, Warren, New Baltimore, Sterling Heights, Roseville, Clinton Township, Detroit. In Georgia: Atlanta and Hinesville (45 minutes southwest of Savannah).

Now I am suppose to tag 4-5 people, however I'm so busy I don't have time to look up websites, contact them yada yada. So anybody on my list along the right feel free to tag yourself from me. Yeah I know that's lame, but I'm super busy and baby is waking up.

YES!

I'm FINISHED! (with the wedding project). It was fun and I appreciated it, however, it was my first big project and well I just didn't imagine my first one would be for 300 people lol. So when I get the 150 people weddings it should be a breeze!!! So after a VERY stressful week I took a bubble bath. OMG! I used to take these about twice a week, but once baby came those went out the window. So the girl I made the stuff for she bought me a nice bath set so I put it right to work! Now I can start focusing on my teddy bear swap and other FUN things WOO HOO

Dinner Menu

Well, here is one of the three projects I've been working on for my friends, cousins wedding. I will have the cookie tags to post later and the menu's probably tomorrow or Thursday. This was one BIG project, but I enjoyed it because it gave me experience. Although I noticed when I created things on my own, it turned out better than trying to copy an idea from Stampin Up's idea book. I usually grab ideas from several places and clump them into my own, as did with this menu. I used vellum on top of Certainly Celery and Very Vanilla cardstock. Not sure if you can notice in the pic, but there is a tad of glitter in the two stamped images at the bottom.

Shew!!!!

I sure do love to be busy and I betcha ya'll thought I curled up in a corner somewhere lol. I was hoping to at least show you the menu's I am making for a wedding, but a friend of mine borrowed my small hold punch and I can't get a hold of her. So...instead I will share with you what I made at my friends Dawn's Stamp Camp since I don't think I shared with you what I made last time :( We made two cards, a bag and a post it note holder (this time). The one with the ribbon around it was referred as a slip knot (I think) and boy was that a fun challenge. I loved making that card cuz we used a really cool technique with plastic wrap. You just bunch it up, dab it on your ink pad, then onto your paper. It's so easy and unique. I loved the bag because she made up 4 white and milk chocolate dipped pretzel rods. Only problem is only 3 made it into the bag lol OOPS! shhhh The post it note holder was my FAVORITE! It was easy, but of course she has the spots that needed to be scored already done. Anyhow, not I'm behind on laundry, if anybody would care to join me come on over :D I'm hoping to get more stuff posted tomorrow.

Here We go again....

Ok, I need to start thinking of another excuse as to why I haven't blogged. I'm too busy is getting old and lame. But seriously...I LOVE to be busy. So I get involved in all kinds of stuff. Well I'm learning, the hard way, that with a child you can't be doing that. So I've decided that since all the stuff I do can be put into one, that's what I'm doin! Right now I'm working on a project for a friends cousin doing her wedding programs. She invited 400 people! So far I'm only doin 300 until she gets more rsvp's. PLUS she wants 30 dinner menu's for her tables to start. Yes it's alot, however, it's really gone smoothly :D I will certainly post the final outcome soon. Along with other little things I've done along the way. MAYBE I can even put that on my priority list for tomorrow :D. Ok...I'm off to finish watching The Biggest Loser finale WOO HOO GO ALY!
