October 24, 2005

Well ladies that day has finally arrived. Scrapbooker Online has made it into double digits. We hit #99 on the Scrapbooking Top 50 on October 24th. Wow, we are so excited. Lots of fun activities planned for the upcoming month at SBO.

And I have to thank all my wonderful Sistas at SBO. Without them my dream and "little" web site would not be home to so many.

I love you all very much, you are wonderful ladies and my life is so much richer with you in it.

Now, I must sleep. Tyring to get to bed before 11 this week. Not sure if that will happen, but if I run and hop in bed now I have 12 mintues. LOL.

Night, night.

October 21, 2005

My kids amaze me every day. So today Grady and I were driving through the town next to ours, Northboro MA. We drove through the center of town and Grady asked why Grant got to go to a friends bowling party and he did not. Now, the bowling alley is in the basement of one of the older buildings in the center of town. Grady, remember he is only 3, looked out the window and recognized where we were, and knew the bowling alley was in this area.

That just amazed me. He knew where he was and the fact he never went to the party amazes me even more. He must have remembered Grant mentioning the party when we would drive through this part of town. How does a three year old brain do that. WOW. He is just the coolest.

Can you tell this is the proud mom talking. LOL

October 19, 2005



Just me and the kids this week. Gregg is away at a executive program until Friday. So far so good. They have been really good for me. Although, I do not hope to ever be a single mom. Wow, lots of work. I give all single moms and dads lots of credit for doing it all. There is a special place in heaven for you.

Grady has been having a hard time going to school this week. He keeps crying that he wants my neighbor and friend Amy to pick him up. What a cutie. I may have to take Amy up on it and have her get him one of these days. Maybe that will quiet him down for the rest of the week. LOL. Gail has been really helpful to her brothers. Sometime I think I ask her to do so much. But, now that she can do more she is such a big help I find myself asking her more. She has been walking Belle each day, which is great for the dog. God knows Gregg and I don't get off our butts enough to walk her.

Grant went to karate last night and did very well. He has his purple belt now, so he is so special. He will be getting his new black gee (sp?) soon. I am so glad he is doing Karate and the man who teaches his class is a super nice guy. I hope he does well with his school. The kids are all great and they laugh and giggle the whole time. Such fun for them.

This will be just great Mom and Daughter time. And she is so creative...she will teach mom a thing or two.

So we will be up soon on the site. Come check us out. LOL.

October 11, 2005


So we had a great weekend, although it rained the whole time. We started out with our Friday ritual of going to gymnastics, then home for dinner with Daddy. Saturday we went to the movies, on our second try, due to the first time around every kids landed in their room for the whole morning because they could not stop fighting. Anyway, we say "Sky High", very cute KID movie about a child of superhero parents. Grady loved it, including the previews, he just could not stop laughing and they way he sits in those big chairs is something to be seen.

I spent Sunday scrapping, WAA HOO. I finished my entries in two circle journals, finished up my rolodex cards for a swap at SBO, made a birthday card for Kristy (jkhuddle on SBO) and picked out some photos for my next layout. I also did the layout to the right for my weekend challenge along with Marjoire's candid photo challenge. I think it came out pretty good. Gail is so pretty, makes her easy to scrap

The rain did not stop the Fabbri's from having fun this weekend. I really love the rain. I have been keeping the window open at night so I can listen. I love when the occasional car drives by, the sound of the splashing water is very soothing for me.

I'm back.


So I created this blog and then have not been back for a week. I guess I am back tonight because Julie Ann, one of my DT Members on my website, www.scrapbookeronline.com, said she was gong to be blog hopping tonight. I said to myself I better rush over here and get something in so she has something to read..

Crazy busy week for me, that is why I have not been back. I keep thinking I need to stop by and then I get going on something else and you know what happens when you are busy.

I am so happy it is Thursday, that means it the start of my weekend. Yes, I am one of the lucky ones that only has to work three days a week. But, those three days are really tough. 7am - 6pm on Tuesday and Wednesday and 7am - 5pm on Thursday. I am exhausted by the end of the week.

I think I am extra tired this week due to the fact I did not get much sleep this past weekend. I went away one of my quilting weekends, with my quilt guild. I belong to the Proper Bostonian Quilters Guild. My mom is a member also, and she runs all the quilt camp trips. She is the Julie McCoy of the guild. So we stay at a retreat center in Ocean Park Maine. Yes, it is a retreat center, run by nuns. There are all these cute little ladies in their habits greeting you at every corner and they love to come visit us in the conference room to see what we are making.

Well, we stayed up very late each night, about 2 am to be exact. And then we were up early, had to get all the time we could to be creative. For the first time on this trip I did not bring my sewing machine. I scrapped all weekend. And gosh is was awesome. I felt like I accomplished so much. I put together my whole summer album, did 3 layouts, my rolodex cards for the swap I am involved in, and I started to knit a scarf. Was I a busy lady or what?

Oh, I almost forgot. I got to spend the weekend with two of my best girlfriends also. Jen Connell and Jenn Kelly. They had a great time. Jenn C. made her first quilt and Jenn Kelly make two quilt tops. They were very productive ladies also. Great job!!
