A Day In The Life Of Me: August 2007

Well, I hosted my first ever scrapbook retreat this past weekend up in Valle Crucis, NC.

Oh man was it HOT! We stayed in the Annex building @ the Valle Crucis Conference Center. Most of the buildings up there were built at the turn of the century so there is NO AIR! I have to say though that late @ night it wasn't too bad with the windows open and the fans going - of course this was for me and I was in the bed so I had finally cooled down.

It was really beautiful up there though. I hope everyone enjoyed it. I ended up with a total of 13 including me. I think we all got alot done! The food was awesome too.

Here are some pictures that I took.

This was down at the creek.

And this is the building we were in - we stayed on the 2nd floor and the dining room was upstairs on the 3rd floor.

I will try to attach a "video" of the creek. I'm not sure if it will work or not.

Ok, so it's been a while since I've blogged. Busy with work and just doing other stuff.
Has it been hot enough fer ya? LOL Holy Cow it's been hot here!

Steph started school today - her senior year! I'm very proud of her. She will be taking Chemistry, Human Anatomy, English, Bible and Government this year! I think I got them all. She wants to be a nurse! I can't believe this is her last year of highschool! I still remember waking her up and helping her get dressed for kindergarten!! Wow where did the years go?!

I've been so tired lately! (more than usual) I go to the "sleep" doctor next week to see about having a sleep study done. I've had all other kinds of tests done and they all came back normal, so we're taking this route. I'll post the outcome of that later.

I'm having my first ever scrapbook retreat this weekend! It will be up in Valle Crucis near Boone, NC. I'm really looking forward to it but nervous and scared too. I'm short about 3 people so I'm going to lose money there, but I've got some "new" people coming so hopefully I'll get some "constant" customers. The only thing I'm planning on working on is an album for Pam that was supposed to be finished MONTHS ago. That is my goal - to finish that up. I'm not even taking any of my pictures to work on.

Hopefully in the next month or so I will have my scrapbook room finished. My cousin Kathy and her dad (my uncle) Baxter have been helping me. It's going to be AWESOME when it's all done. I'll post pictures of the before, during and after once it's all completed. Hint - my walls are green!

It will be so nice to be organized for once! The clutter in this house is driving me NUTS.

Plus I have all my animals! hee-hee. (3 dogs and 2 cats) The dogs are Sunny, Stormy and Mysti and my cats are McCloud and Oliver. Let me see if I can post some pics of my "babies". They're all rotten as can be but I love them.

Above is Sunny (Golden Retriever) and Stormy (Sheltie)
