Jan. 27, 2013 ~ Just a Note

I am such a bad blogger.  I have had so much going on at Church and the Store this fall that I have not kept this Blog up-to-date at all. Hopefully starting fresh will make me a little more interested in writing and sharing here.
Here is a little update:

September - Terrific Tuesdays begin and I am the cooking queen
                  - Kids are back to school - Rach in Gr. 10 & Kyle At 2 high schools and Lampton College
                  - Dana has to decide to close or sell the store.  What are we gonna do?
                  - Corps retreat. What A beautiful weekend.
                  - WE BUY THE STORE. What have we done?
                 

October - We reopen the store under the Old/NEW name.
                (We dropped the "& more" except for signage.)
              - Still cooking for Terrific Tuesdays and now doing Home League and 55+
              - New Product comes in and customers begin to return.

November - Classes in full swing, things are going well at the store
                  - still cooking and conducting Singing Company, home league & 55+

December - Wondering if I can keep up this pace, Christmas programs done and done
                 - IS SOOOOOO Looking forward to Christmas break

January - Back at it, quiet at the store over January ~ has me a little worried.
             - SPRING FEVER CROP announced.

That's it in a nut shell - I am a bit stressed but in a good way. 

Aug. 27/2012 - One Week To Go

I love summer but I am looking forward to the school year starting again. New challenges to face and things to do. Mostly I will like it because I won't hear "I'm Bored" as much. I have been catching up on last year's school photos (there are 5 layouts for this - Crazy I know). Here is the first of 5

Created with last year's the "ELEMENTARY" collection pack (gotta love a collection pack)
I also use watercolours and my favourite staple - Scenic Route Worn Grid - wow running low on this one. I even used the overlays, not something I use regularly.  Thanks  for looking & Let me know what you think. :)  Kim

JULY 29/2012 ~ Layouts to Share

I enjoyed a great page of the month class this past week and changed up the layout provided by BasicGrey (which did look great in real life). I had the  POTM club members challenge themselves to paint on their layouts. Nothing to radical to start just some simple distressing and lettering altering. Featuring the What's Up Collection here is DREAM.

I also have been playing around with some newer papers that have arrived in the store ~ All About Scrapbooks & More. Awesome & Fabulous by Simple Stories.  Great for teenagers.  I will have lots from these sets of papers. Here are the first of many, I'm sure.

 Let me know what you think & TFL
