Where oh where does the time go?

The last month has been absolutely CRAZY!!! This weekend is the end of the birthday mayhem in my house. On 2/1 Nik turned 10, on 2/16 Al turned 21, on 3/6 Mimi turned
12, and this weekend my baby girl will turn 8. Yeppers the big 8.

Every birthday with Amanda has been more difficult then the last. Maybe because she is the last one in the set and they are so close to each other - I just feel like time is flying by - in a month they all get older. Plus, by now I am emotionally and financially drained - absolutely exhausted. Wow, what a difference a month makes.

So, I have been going through spurts of creativity and madness and whipping out layouts in manic moments where I feel the pressure to catch up. But, lord knows that I will never ever catch up so the feeling quickly subsides. But, in those manic moments I have managed to add a boatload of layouts to my albums including all of the following:

But, the fun doesn't end there - this weekend is our Betty crop so come in and check out all the new pretty stuff from Webster's Pages - you would not believe how gorgeous it all is. The embellishements keep getting better and the cameos are a great deal. They are scheduled to arrive tomorrow so they will be out in the NEW section at Betty's just in time for the crop.

Plus, next weekend I am planning to finally empty out my cupboards and have a garage sale at Alva - they are having a community sale from 7:30 to 2:00 pm so after a thorough house cleaning I have enough stuff to fill up 10 booths but 2 will have to do. So, come in and check it out - there will be a ton of stuff from paper, to food, to furniture - so check it out plus it is a school fundraiser - some come and support our 4th grade. It will be at Alva Elementary right off of 80 on Broadway - email me at mika369@aol.com for address/info etc.

Well, I've got some birthday plans to confirm.

See you all soon,
Dee

P.S. I feel like a spurt coming on....
