One more competition down...

Well, they placed this time! YAY! It's too cool watching cub2 and the rest of her team perform. They are doing sooooooo well. Anyway, no more competitions for a couple weeks at least. WHEW!!! They sure are time consuming. I never would have guessed that either!

Today, we just had a lax day and watched playoff games and wouldn't you know it?!?! Seattle is going to the Superbowl!!!!! My dad was at the game, I'm sure he was just loving it. The news people are just going crazy over the whole thing, kinda makes me wonder if it's like that in other states when their home team goes to the superbowl!?!? Any clue?? Are they "over" excited or is that just the celebration in them??? I must admit it was fun to watch though.

I'm busy trying to decide what to do for Cub4's 1st birthday and am at a total loss. It's kind of buggin me because nothing is coming to mind.

Well...

It all went pretty well. All that for a whoppin' 2 minute routine LOL but it was soooooooo worth it to see her just grinning away and loving every second. That was the very first competition I have ever witnessed and omgosh that is such a different sort of thing. I never in my life thought cheerleading could be so intense~haha. They sure get into it!!! They didn't place, but the coach was super pleased with the scores. We'll see how next weekend's goes!!!!

itter and the star on her face, they did that shortly before we left for the school. I blacked out the name of the team, basically because it also happens to be the town we're from. *wink*

Well, we got back very late, late Saturday night. Early Sunday morning Cub4 had a fever so I was busy holding him the majority of the day yesterday. He's doing much better now, so I figured I better update the blog.

Today was a very lax day, I actually just watched tv for quite some time. I ran into this crazy game show though, it was funny to watch. It's called CashCab and it's on discovery channel, I think?! It was so interesting to watch the "contestants" as they caught the taxi cab realizing they were actually being video taped and on a game show. I think the most people walked out with was about $600 or so. I was watching it with hubby and we're both such information hogs anyway, there were only probably 2 questions of the whole 2 episodes we watched that both of us didn't know. Why can't that happen to us ??? LOL

Anyway, back to the show... they had a bonus question double or nothing, if you got the question right you get double what you already won or if you got it wrong you get nothing. Of course you have the option of just walking with what you already won. Hubby's choice would be to walk with his winnings as is. Mine of course is try for double, because you have nothing to lose, it wasn't yours to begin with ~ right???? So my question to you is, are you a double or nothing type of person or are you a better safe than sorry type??? :oP

Off to Competition!!!

Cub2 has cheerleading competition this weekend. Her first one ever, so we'll see how it goes. She's super excited and it ought to be lots of fun for her!!!! Good luck to her!!!

Pretty decent day...

Overall, it's been good. I drank all my water, I didn't forget any kids anywhere *LOL*, I worked on a couple of pictures, did a whole lot of counting with Cub3, cleaned the livingroom early this morning, (can't tell now, but that's beside the point), and nooooooo spending!!! YAY!!! I'm really good at this!!! haha I honestly don't know how much longer I can go. There is a couple of books I want and I can't help but peek at more camera stuff, I'm not doing anything about it though, so that's a good thing.

Cub2 has cheerleading practice every single day this week, in preparation for the competition. We'll be leaving Friday afternoon to go stay overnight at a nearby hotel, it ought to be fun. Hey though, I was just thinking... Non-spending spree will have to be on hold for one thing~ it's my mom's birthday tomorrow (thursday)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! I know she doesn't read but hey it's in print now :oP I have no clue what to get her though, I've honestly been thinking on this for about a month and still I have nothing. She buys everything before it becomes a need or even a want. Of course that makes perfect sense now where I got that. *blush* I'll have to figure something out, maybe a big fruit basket.

We signed up for a 12 week challenge at Curves. I don't know how fair that is, I only work out there maybe once a week, I use the other gym almost every day ~ oh well it's still the same bod, so that should count. One cool thing though, my mom was voted by curves employees as 1 of the 4 women of the year at curves. They gave her an 18 inch statue?? I don't know, I haven't seen it yet, but it's still kinda cool. Go mom!!! :o)

I had an interesting thought though. I was picking up Cub1 from basketball, I was talking with the coach. Let me start off by saying, the coach has a really strange sense of humor and can come off as rude at times, but he's harmless. Anyhow, we were talking and one of the girls from the team came up and muttered something and he had a rude comeback anyway, something about her natural beauty. The girl just giggled and went back to playing. He then looks at me and tells me what the girl had told him earlier. This girl was complaining about how the rest of the team doesn't like her, and she blames it on the fact she has natural beauty. The coach just absolutely lost it when she said it, he assumed she was joking. Of course he thought it was a really good joke until he saw she was serious. He said he stopped laughing and tried to play it off, unsuccessfully I'm sure. I just kind of stared at him then looked at the girl. I then looked back at the coach and said, "you know what that is don't you???" He stopped joking and says, "no, why???" I then proceeded to tell him that's all stems from her mom. LOL He thought I was joking. So I explained, when a girl comes home complaining about not being accepted one of the reasonings moms come up with is, "it's just because you're so pretty" or other such compliments turn reasoning. He kinda laughed and said yeah I guess huh. Then mumbled something about her "actually" believing it being weird. LOL Now seriously I don't know if that's what happened but it sure made sense to me ROFL I must admit it kind of cracks me up she would openly announce that at practice.

So that was my thought for the day. Influencing children can be easy when you talk with them, what a novel concept~ *wink*

Off to go exercise!

Just what I wanted...

I "re-learned" fractions. I can add, subract, divide, multiply and this is with mixed number might I add. Woohoo, I'm on a roll. Gotta love how your kiddos in school teaches you right along side of them. I was really great at math, now since those skills have been dormant they are a little rusty. Never fear though, it only takes a couple problems for those gears to get going again. *rolleyes* YAY!!! Can you tell my excitement???

Anyhow, I survived the mom taxi today and everyone made it on time!!! YAY ME!

I also broke my non-spending spree. Not badly and it wasn't even fun, I'm afraid. $8 for competition this weekend, $25 for the cheerleading bag (embroidered), and $51 for more of hubby's school books. I'm still under $100 for the day though and it wasn't anything I could have gotten away with no payment ~ so there *wink*

After reading the other comments to the blog below... yes, tabs are registration for your vehicles. I was just curious over price because a few years back ours were in the hundreds and it was calculated through year and weight of vehicle and such. Some guy took out a petition and had a law passed we would only pay $30 a year a few years back. Now the state is charging different fees to raise the cost. I imagine the state lost a ton of money in that deal though, so you can't really blame them for trying to make it up somewhere. Anyway, hope that clarified it.

There was an old man named Michael Finnigan~

BEGIN AGAIN!!!!!! It's the first day of school for hubby so it's just cub3&4 with me today. Girls are in school and seem to be super glad to be back. Basketball just started again lastnight. Cub1 also just started Volleyball at school. So here's how the evening went yesterday (let's see if I can duplicate it tonight alone ;)) Pick Cub1 up at school from volleyball, hubby dropped cub2 off at basketball at the same time, Dropped Cub1 off at basketball, pick cub2 up from basketball 1/2 hour early for cheerleading. Drop Cub2 off for cheerleading, come back pick up cub1 from basketball(hubby did yesterday) then go get cub2 from cheerleading. This will be for today and tomorrow. I think I'll have to call on my mom for some of it, can't be in two places at once... or can I??? muahahahaha *LOL*

Anyhow, the whole reason I get to be taxi by myself now is because hubby is taking a night class in addition to his day class, this will help him finish earlier (a whole quarter anyway) Of course that lands him finishing Winter Quarter, and that's not really seeming very advantageous, but there's gotta be some pluses to it~ right?

I'm so proud of myself though, I have made a conscious effort not to spend money so carelessly. I'm terrible at just spur of the moment purchases and just simply buy too much stuff, allllllll the time. (whether it's a necessity or not) I've been really good though. I'm in charge of finances so hubby honestly didn't even notice until I straight out told him. LOL so he's trying it too now ~ ROFL. So I bought $50 of groceries yesterday and the time before that was $43 for tabs, two days ago, the time before that was $18 for fruits and veggies and before that lands me right around the end of december!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!

Question for anyone who will answer though, how much are license tabs for your vehicles wherever you are??? They passed a law that limited ours to $30 about 3 years back and they've slowly been tacking on fee after fee to get it climbing back up there. This year was a mandatory $10 weight fee?!?! For a car!!! We used to only pay a weight fee for a truck, but apparently it's the new one for this year. Anyway~ what's your tabs cost ya???

A little late but I'm sharing anyways...

Okay Mrs. Fun, this is "proof" LOL I did go ahead and seat 4 kiddos, but just didn't print for cards ROFL All in fun of course, but I thought I'd show you anyhow.
Sorry there are quite a few. These are just outtakes and me practing with my lights which still boggle my mind in trying to figure them out. Seeeeee I wasn't SKERD *wink*




Here he wouldn’t sit in the box


The final one to go down in history of Christmas 2005

Well things have finally slowed a bit!!!

It's simply amazing how busy it was around here for quite some time. I honestly don't think I've ever been so busy in my life. Hubby neither, we just discussed that earlier today. I'm busy trying to get the house back in order, or I should say WE are...

I've still got some wedding pics to proof from way back on Christmas Eve. I'm not too worried about it, it's just a "freebie" for distant family anyway. Not that it makes it any less special, it's just not very pressing for time.

Cub3 has a cheerleading competition coming up on the 14th and basketball practice resumes next week, so does hubby's school. This week is pretty much free.

That's us in a nutshell!!!

Happy New Year!!!!

I spent midnight at the entrance of a casino waiting for pics to print out, while hubby moved the van. LOL Not exactly what I envisioned. Not bad though. I don't know if I had written about this, but on New Year's Eve I was commissioned to take basically "prom shots" of the patrons of the casino down the road and print on site. Yikes! I had no idea how it would work and was honestly thinking of "not doing it," but I am glad I did, it was quite a success!!! For the record, they asked me, that's seriously not something I would have thought of.

People loved it though and it was honestly pretty fun. Only complaint, my dang printer is slooooooooow. People just love the Epson 2200 and I must say I'm a fan too, but for big volume quick printing, little prints it is not!!!!! Photo quality yes, Quick??? that's lacking. That and it's HUUUUUUUUGE!!!!! LOL

The girls had their basketball tourney and were eliminated after two games, both of their teams. They are in separate age brackets this year, so that was cool, twice the games to watch. Both of them received all stars, Cub1 for her all around get up and go, and Cub2 for having the best defense. Now that was hilarious. Cub2 was scaring those poor little 10& under girls ~ HAHA. She was right up on 'em. The coached teased her she was "on 'em like they stole her lunch money."

Overall everything is finally slowing down. The girls go back to school on Tuesday, hubby goes on the 9th. Then it's just the boys and I again!! Cub4 has his fourth tooth today (top right)

I do feel horrible though!!! No Christmas Cards were sent from us this year!!!!! So if you read this and normally get one, I'm sorry it wasn't you, it was me... Seriously~ Sorry!!! I hope your season was magical ;)

I'm horrible at daily life lately...

I'm really not a scheduled type person. I don't ever plan to be, nor do I want to be. That said, the only constant in my life lately is exercise. This is a good thing, really. Everything else in my life is put on hold it seems. Just when I think I'm getting caught up something else happens. It has all been good things until yesterday though. My dad, my grandpa and my uncle came over for dinner, my mother and father in law did as well. That went very well. It was seriously the first time our fathers have met and we have been married almost ten years!!! That's not the bad part though. Shortly after my dad had left, he called very upset. His auntie passed away. Granted, she was very ill and in the hospital for 20+ days, it was still very emotional for him. I didn't grow up close to his side of the family, not that it matters, but it did make me feel very sad for him. His auntie actually did a good portion of raising him as a child. They were extremely close. It's always so hard to hear my dad so upset, it has only happened maybe three times I can vividly remember.

Other than that things have been going quite well. The cubs are right smack dab in the middle of a basketball tournament. It's so fun watching them play. Both have gotten increasingly better with time since last year. I really should be getting to bed, I have to get up in 5 1/2 hours. So quickly I'll say... Cub4 has tooth #3 (top tooth now.) He's busy trying to take off up the stairs~ YIKES!!!! He can stand for a few seconds at a time, pulls himself up, but still not interested in "normal" crawling. He's improvised and does his own thing. He's a little too mobile for his own good, he's scary!!! Anyway, I'm off to sleep.

Quick few lines here...

Art show was great!!!! We should be getting new flooring because of it, so that's pretty exciting!!! Yay!!! We are just not carpet people. LOL Embarassing to admit, but it's true. We've only had our carpet for 2 years and it looks like it's been through some rough times.

Tomorrow we should be moving our bedroom back upstairs. Everyone's been sick the last couple days including myself, so things have been on hold. I did wind up finishing up proofing the baby shower from a couple weeks ago though. FINALLY!

Our current room will be used as a studio/workspace, so that's exciting!! Then to figure out my lights.... hope that doesn't take long.

More from my busy life...

It's been pretty hectic and I swear it has to be on the verge of slowing down here sometime!!!!

Print #4 is commmmmplete!!! It's the first with hubby's signature feather burned onto the print itself. It turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. I figured this is good as spot as any to keep track of when these prints were "hatched."

Cub#4 has two teeth now, don't know if I already blogged that or not, but he is soooooo great at letting me brush them. Man this kid is awesome!!!

I also bought a bunch of new toys. I'm just waiting on a few more then I can really play! Hubby told me for early Christmas to go ahead and order those "bees." So I'm just waiting on my softliter and then I can play. YAY!!!

I still haven't printed a Christmas Card this year, oh no!!! I really hope people don't get the idea I've crossed them off of my list LOL.

What else is happening~ For New Years I have been commissioned to take pictures at the local casino, prom style :oP So that ought to be interesting. I've also taken some shots for some company through my brother, it was nothing big, but a part for his quad and they will be using the shots for marketing purposes :o) I finished my friend's order for 2 photo blankets too. I really doubt they will be here in time for Christmas though. That sucks. This same friend also announced her engagement a few days back, guess hubby and I will shoot her wedding too. Like I said, busy life!!!

One mildly interesting inquiry had me grinning though. Someone had seen all the pictures I have been taking lately and asked if I photographed people at all. She was asking hubby, I wasn't there yet. Anyway, she was saying how backlogged she gets with requests for her photography and asked if I would be willing to travel around the US to take pics. LOL That would be interesting. I really don't know if anything will seriously come of it, but that sounded like fun :oP

We have another art show this weekend, so hopefully it will be as successful as the last few. Hubby is trying to get one more print done before then so we have to head out of here soon!!!

When life slows down...

I'll wonder what to do with myself. I took pictures at a baby shower on Saturday, still not done proofing them. It was just a favor for my sis, but still, I don't want pictures floating around there with people knowing I took them. That's another thing!!! I took pics for my friend, I actually had to reshoot. Man, oh man that sucked. Not the photoshoot itself, but the lighting in her house wasn't that good at all. It's ridiculous. I took the pics, put together a collage so she can get 2 photo blankets made from a company on ebay. Unfortunately, they are sending her a kit, that she can send the pic into the company or upload it to their website. Oh please!!! I know we wound up cutting it really close, but wow I really wish we would have bookmarked the company which promised delivery by Christmas if ordered by Dec. 5th. Oh well, it should all work out, sooner or later.

I'm still busy digitizing more of hubby's paintings and he's busy filling orders for the business, it has been doing quite well for itself the last few weeks. I know it's just the holidays, but it's enough to make these holidays happy.

I'm still trying to figure out my dang printer too. I just bought an Epson 2200 printer which can print up to 13 inches wide. It's huge and the ink is supposed to last 100+ years on paper :o) That's fine and dandy and all, but what good does it do me if my pictures look terrible?!?! I'm confused on whether it's my monitor, the printer, the picture, the software, all of them, none of them or just the combination!!!! Ugh!!! I really hoped it would just be a simple hook it up and go, but apparently that's too simple of a wish. The good thing is, I'm learning a lot about the printer, just not the right stuff, I guess.

Tiring, tiring, tiring...

but in a good way. Print #3, put a done sticker on that one!!! Yay!!!!

We had our first snow Thursday. It was gorgeous!!! It's pretty well melted now, but it was great. The kiddos got early release due to the snow, but Friday came along and nada, school as usual.

Cub#4's second tooth is finally making way. He's absolutely wonderful at letting me brush them~ what a great kid :o)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

We were supposed to be hit with about 5 inches of snow lastnight. Ha. Not even an inch. No biggie, it's too cold for me anyhow. They even delayed school even before it started snowing. That's a lot of trust in the weatherman if you ask me!!! :oP

I took Christmas pics for my friend and some of them turned out cute, the others are okay, but I've decided... I NEEEEEEED LIGHTS, and a new wide angle lens. I had to use the stinkin kit lens because it's my only lens that goes down to 18mm. Other than that it was fun. I am supposed to go back today to do the individuals. That's 7 kids!!!!!!!!!!! Yikes.

Just to add a few things that made me smile about cub3, just because... he insists he neeeeeeds a spongebob bike for Christmas. This is honestly the first year he has "requested" anything. He even told my dad that was his wish. Now here's the kicker... I've looked online and they have a spongebob big wheel, but nooooo bike. hmmmmmmm..... anyway the other cute thing.

He put some coins he found in an earring box without the back to hold the earrings, just one of those clam type thingies. He was counting his "moneys." The kid can count in spanish too, it's cute (thanks dora!) and off the topic though. He wanted to know which one was a quarter, I showed him. This went on with all of the ones he had. Well he was pretty good at remembering, so I call hubby in and he does it for him. It went something like this, " a quarter, a dime, a nickel, and a fifty-five cent piece." LOL I have no idea how he came up with that, but it was too cute.

2 prints done, should be 3 by the end of the week. Hubby went to get more paper yesterday. Get this!!! It's official, his prints have made the gallery. A reallllllllly nice one at that!!! He still needs to talk to about 5 or 6 more, but the response was more than he could have hoped for.

I returned my camera. I'm not a point and shoot gal anymore I think. I took about 16 pictures with it and only one turned out with the color I wanted. The rest had a bit of a cyan tint.

We also decorated our tree lastnight. I always have to wait until the dinner with hubby's father is done to decorate, but it feels good to have it up finally. For some reason I was really anxious this year, I could have put it up before halloween and been content. haha.

Dinner went well, although there was a slight change in guests. Hubby's dad and his wife were replaced by my dad and his wife. They were all amazed at the dinner hubby had made. It went really well and they are now officially invited to our Christmas dinner, which also takes place after the holiday.

I think I'm going to try to sneak in a nap, both boys are so wtheck.

Black Friday...

Man oh man, was that tiring or what??? We left to go at 4am. I swear they are opening up earlier and earlier for those crazy sales. We got to Walmart at 4:15, so officially 45 minutes of anxious shoppers, just counting down the minutes to checkout. The lines were huge when we arrived and only got longer. I maneuvered quite easily through the madness though, I played it smart and didn't grab a cart. I was wandering around the electronics/photo center. There was a kodak camera 6.1 megapixel camera I was considering at a whopping $199. It wasn't that I needed it, I just want a camera that sits in my glove box for those moments you can't plan. My 20d is far too bulky to carry at all times. I thought about leaving the rebel under my chair in the van, but I honestly don't trust anyone, I'd hate to be out my digi rebel even if it is just my backup. People just suck, you can't trust anyone.

Anyway, I was standing around when they unloaded the pallet of kodaks and I still had 15 minutes to go. My brother was standing around with me, my mom had already gone to the car. To buy or not to buy... Well since I was there :oP I waited out the few minutes and grabbed one up and picked up a 256mb sd card for 13.88? It's all good. There was a woman who was crowding out the line to check out and she hadn't even gotten her stuff yet. I hate that. I, of course, asked the checkout lady to ring my stuff up as I was handing it to her. I could feel the woman burning a hole in the side of my head, but I really didn't care. I had places to go, money to spend. I quickly swiped my card and was swiftly making my way through the gobs of people. I was stopped at the door to make sure I paid for what I was walking out with, which took maybe 7 seconds and I was on my way. 5:04, we hit the freeway. That's not too shabby, considering it takes a minute to get to the freeway. So 3 minutes after the big announcement (on your marks get set go!) we were headed to our next stop.

5:17 we drive by Best Buy, oooooh heck no. People are in line just to get into the place and they'd been open for 17 minutes. I was looking for mp3 players for my girls, just little cheapo ones, I didn't want to make a huge investment unless they really like them. Okay, next stop ToysRUs... well that makes it easy they don't open until 6. Off to Walgreen's, they have cheapo mp3's there, a little tooooo cheap though I still didn't get them. We waste too much time at Walgreen's and the goofy part is, their sale didn't start until 7!!! They had other sales though, good ones for wrapping paper and foil gift tags. (buy one get two free or something like that!) Good deal, but we were missing out. My mom went through the other checkout line and the lady was VERY concerned my mom's tags weren't ringing up on sale. UGH! Anyhow, $1.07 & 10 minutes later it's 6:05. Target is already open and we aren't there. LOL

We fixed that shortly though. My mom dropped us off right at the front door, again I didn't grab a cart. (actually I needed one here.) Here I wanted a printer dock for my girls and another kodak cam for cub1, cub2 already has a kodak digi. I quickly grab all the dvd's that were advertised and looked of any interest to me. (simpson's season w/homer's head, not sure what number :OP, family guy season 3 I think, but lot of good that did, we already have it, and Lost season 1, and sex and the city season 6 part 2 :o) I am running out of space here already and don't have the camera or the dock. I grabbed the camera printer dock a couple aisles over then I hurried to the counter and waited in line, the camera was in the back of the counter. Woohooooo! I'm done. Or so I thought.

Hubby wanted me to get the Tumbling Tigger, and cub2 wanted the operation game. So I head off to the toy department, still no cart. I grab all the stuff plus a battleship game for cub1 and head back up to the front of the store. I am about ready to drop all the items, every which way and my brother came to the rescue!! Yay! We're outta there. We hit the checkout line for 10 items or less and turn around, there's mom at the other lane. Oh the timing. We have been doing this so long together I think it's down to a science. This was my brother's first year. Only time will tell if he got hooked or not.

By this time it is not quite 6:30 and we are headed across town to Shopko, still looking for an mp3 player or 3 :oP We luck out and get a parking spot right up front. Again, no cart. I go in and grab the last mp3 player for $99 (half off) for hubby. (shhh... he doesn't know LOL) Actually it was just a stupid little tag that had the price and the numbers/barcode on it. So I basically paid for a piece of paper. I paid 9.99 a pc. for 3 movies (that travelling pants movie, fever pitch w/Drew Barrymore, and Constantine.) Not really for anyone in general, but it was a good price. We were stuck waiting for them to bring me that player for about 10 minutes, I would have been upset, but I'm nearing my imaginary guesstimate of how much I wanted to spend by this time. Again, my mom is already in the car, man is she quick~ :o) They bring it out and we fight our way out through the crowds again.

My mom then asks if we want to go eat since that's what we do every year, only the restaurant changes. After a quick breakfast, we were across the way from the other walmart and it is not even 8 yet, so the sale is still on. So wtheck, we go again. I picked up some more 256mb cards and a dvd player/recorder for $68. Not sure if that is something we even needed, but oh well.

I was so dang tired by the end of that though, all I could do was come home and sleep. It wasn't the shopping or the getting up early part it was the getting to bed so late factor. I didn't get to sleep until 2:30 and had my alarm set for 3:45. That is just plain stupid. Fun, but stupid.

I was supposed to go out with hubby and make his 2nd print today. He went alone and it is done, turned out quite well. I'm really excited to be giving the business a little boost like that. He has 2 orders to fill right now, so I guess that makes my spending a little easier to swallow.

To top all of that, I got a new cell phone (motorola v276) and a new printer (epson 2200) The price on the two was just too good to pass up, so I don't feel screwed LOL. I still have to figure out the printer, unfortunately my computer froze while charging the inks, so it doesn't recognize them. It's a huge printer though. It oughta help out with the biz quite a bit. We have an art fair coming up on dec. 9th and we will be printing our own greeting cards with hubby's designs on the front. They are pretty good sellers though, at least they are for the people who are helping "boost" our biz.

Well that's it for now. I'm sure I'll find more to blabber about later, so until then I'm outta here.

Happy Turkey Day...

Turkey Day~ Round 1. Every year we have two thanksgivings. This is the one with my mom, sunday will be with hubby's father. YUM!

We will make hubby's second print on friday, if I can get it digitized right (*insert screaming here*) I've been working on it forever and a day it feels like.

Black Friday shopping on Friday~ woohoo. I go every year. Hubby's first year was last year, unfortunately he's staying to watch the cubs this time. That's okay though, I've done it many times without him, I'll survive.

A day of firsts...

Well, that's it!! Cub4 finally has a tooth. It took a whoppin' 9 months, but it's there!!! LOL We also had hubby's first print made, which also turned into his first sale of a print. We also sandblasted our first plate, now that's something cool.
:o)

My brain is going 100 mph...

My oh my... So, last minute my mom tells us we can sell some of hubby's stuff at the holiday bazaar at the casino. That's where I've been. We aren't making anything and probably spending more than we are making. (We have the cubs with us all day long :oP one dollar here, two there, I'm hungry, etc.) Here's the cool part. I am learning corel draw from a cousin of mine. No biggie, I know editing software basics, but this is totally throwin me. If I can get this figured out and done, we'll have prints of hubby's paintings made in a few short weeks. The lady who is teaching me, is going to show us how to silk screen prints as well~ Yikes!!! Completely insane. My head is just whirling and whizzing with ideas, but corel draw is not cooperating!!! :( I guess I'll have to figure out why in the morning, it's getting late.

Email for me later, from me now...

Very cool. You can email yourself anywhere from 1,3,5, 10, or 20 years from now. I just emailed myself for a year from now. I'm sure I'll forget about it, but that's what makes it fun :O)
