the GRACE crop class.....

so at the last meeting....we had a conference call...all the girls that live in Staten Island were at Barb's house and since i live in NJ.... i was at my house...they put me on speaker...then we chat away...so i kinda throw the ?? out there....Do you think it would be better if i just help that day or would you rather i teach???... (the ? was really meant for Barb) BUT they all scream teach...teach...teach.... NEVER heard Barbs voice... but did hear the LOUDMOUTH Kristin's...just kidding..you know i love you...i am one of "those" that likes to walk away from classes with completed projects....cause lil secret...if i take them home UNDONE...they NEVER get done.... so i wanted to come up with something QUICK & easy that they could finish in about 40 minutes or so.... LOVE LOVE LOVE the paper i chose...from an awesome designer...a wonderful friend BUT an even better mentor JEN STARR....this is her first line of paper with Zsiage...i am so very happy for her... could not have happened to a nicer more genuine & caring person....you rock girly...

my TRUE inspiration in life....

what inspires me.... nothing more than my family..... it has taken quite a bit of time for the men in my life to get me... i think they are finally starting to get "it" YES... there are some underlying issues...more like cryptic messages... don't try to understand... i am okay..living life...have NOT enjoyed being sick this past week..... working in an ER can be rough at times....had a complete meltdown at work last night...the hours are a killer but it is what works for now with my babies still being so YOUNG.... on the other hand..i never want them to grow up.... ciao Cindy 

for all my nosey BLOG buddies.....

some projects i have been working on.... i made these up as sample kits for the grace crop.... some kits to sell....... easy & cheap decorations for your scrap rooms... hope we raise a TON of money for such a GOOD cause... spoke to Barb yesterday and we are ALMOST SOLD out... i was so very happy... ciao Cindy
