i am still not finished going through all of my rep items. i did however get them organized and out of the boxes. yes, all 12 of them, yee-haw! i now have 3 boxes (and counting) of product for my give-a-ways. boy, this RAK is gonna be a good one too. after i finish organizing i will put all of your names in a hat and pull out one lucky winner. when i announce the winner all you have to do is send me an e-mail with your mailing address and you will receive an eaRly christmas present from me. i hope you eNjoY it! i am hoping to be done today and i will post a picture of all the goodies to be won by one lucKy winner!!! are you all getting excited? i hope so cause i am! if you haven't posted yet you still have time. come on you know you want in on the fuN. you have until i day say the word...

haPpy satuRdaY! make it a good one. i know i am. ;0)

digging in...YIKES!!

you are right christine. you say cookies or frEe scrapbook stuff and everyone leaves a comment, lol. so today is the big day. as soon as i drop kiddos off to school, the hair is going up in a pony and i am staying in my jammies. gotta start digging into that so called scrapbook room. i am hoping to stay aLive and not fall in and to never come out, hehe. it's a pretty big challenge!! i just have to do it though. just do it! it so needs to be done. i have to remember the saying...i think i can, i think i can, i think i can!! ok, so the count down begins...10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4...

ps. keep posting those comments. when i am done with my challenge (the huge mountain) i will stop the postings. lets just prayer i finish todaY!

cLeaNing ouT RAK...

k, you all know what a RAK is, right? if not, it stands for random act of kindness. so tomorrow i am gonna clean out! i have 10+ boxes of nEw product that i have not even touched. it's time that i clean out the old and put in the new. with this being said i am going to give away some of my scrapbook supplies as my RAK. most of you know that i am a scrapbook sales rep for about 25 different companies. when new product is released we as reps receive it. i then show it to all of my stores and after that i put it in a box for goodies and give-a-ways for a store event. i have WAY too much. so this is how it is gonna work...for those who feel like posting a comment i will put your name in a hat. i will draw out one lucky winner who will win a box of scrapbook goodies. what perfect timing huh. you may choose to keep it for yourself, share with a friend or give it as a christmas present for someone. i am not sure what it will entitle yet as i have not started cleaning out. maybe tomorrow as i am cleaning i will stop and photo the goodies and post it. who knows i might have more than one RAK once i dig in. all you gotta do is leave me a comment. i will allow all to participate, that means you family members. so spread the word or not and leave me a comment of any sort. bribing me with a wonderfuL comment will not help your odds of winning, lol.

digiTal scRapbookiNg...

i'm so excited!! i finally feel comfortable enough to show some of mY digital scrapbook layouts. i love using memory mixer's digital scrapbooking program. it is so easy and fuN. i know i only have a few layouts but, i am smiLing. thanks for looking. eNjoY!

oops, it didn't happen...

hey mom and dad...i know you have been dying to see your 3 oldest wrestle so here you go. it takes quite a bit to upload the video so i think i will only post a couple. i was so excited to see such an improvement in him within two weeks. it was a site to see... though very smelly and hot, lol. eNjoY!!! i am still not feeling so well so i am heading to bed early. night

ps. it took way to long to try and upload the first video so i decided against it. i will try and e-mail them to you. sorry to get your hopes up. love and miss you. *hugs*

nope, not a haPppy campeR...

i am not feeling well today. thought it was just my allergies but, i don't think that it is just that. gonna go to bed now. sorry i didn't have more exciting things to say. overwhelmed and not feeling good will do that to ya. not very inspired lately either. i think i am going through something and i can't dig myself out of it. i have lost mY mojo... hElp!!! i need some uplifting thoughts of encouragement. come on dianna...where are you when i need you? night
