Mondays totally ROCK...

Well.... except maybe when I have to play the clarinet during the "Parent Concert" that happens during Bryn's first 6th grade band concert tonight.  Then Mondays kinda don't really rock.

Do I know the 2 songs I have to play tonight (Hot Cross Buns & Merrily We Roll Along)... YES. 

Can I make a pretty sound with my instrument... ummmm sometimes, but NO not really. 

Acccckk!  Can't wait to get BOOED off the stage tonight!  LOVE making a fool out of myself!  (Well, actually I don't really mind making a fool out of myself...I do it often!  LOL!)

At least ZUMBA rocked today!!!  Thank goodness for that! 

Anyhoo... I finished a couple more pages in my December Daily book last night, which means I'm only a couple days behind now.  ;-) 

 

More My Mind's Eye 12 Days of Christmas & SRM number stickers...

I also included a reduced-sized copy of Bryn's Christmas list...

You can see the book in it's entirety here.

Planning to try to get caught up tonight... well... after the concert, that is.  It was a busy, busy weekend & the Zumbathon on Saturday ROCKED BIG TIME!  SO MUCH FUN!  

Have a great week everyone!! 

And the winner is...

Sometimes I think about going digital, mainly to save shelf space and workspace. I've done a handful of digital projects. I think I need to become more proficient in PS though. But this sounds pretty easy. The Colorful Paper Pack and Animal Crackers are my favorite kits.

A little Cardinals RED...

Just having a quick little fun-in-the-sun trip while Bryn has a couple days off school for conferences.  So far, our trip has mostly involved where we're going to be able to eat dinner AND watch the World Series.  Game #1 was a success... great dinner AND the game was on TV there.  But then last night we sat on a patio for a great dinner, and they actually had a freakin' football game on TV?!  Our waitress told us she attempted to change the channel, but there were 2 men sitting at the bar watching that game so we'd have to wait until they left.  Losers.  So, we had to keep up with the game on Bob's iPhone instead.

Make sure to check out the giveaway on yesterday's post if you haven't done already!

Have a GREAT WEEKEND, everyone!

My Memories Suite GIVE-AWAY!

My Memories Suite digital scrapbooking software recently contacted me & asked if I'd host a giveaway on my blog.  I have to admit, being a traditional scrapbooker for like, EVER, I was a little nervous about trying digital scrapbooking.  I had tried it once a few years ago, and it took me so long to make a page, I decided I could've made at LEAST 3 traditional pages in the same amount of time. 

BUT... My Memories Suite assured me this was a very easy-to-use software package so of course I said YES!  And guess what, I managed to make this...  

I actually created the design myself... by picking out my own background papers, embellishments & text.  As a beginner, I'm pretty excited about that.  My Memories Suite also offers MANY page designs that have already been created for you, so it's just a matter of popping in your own photos... so EASY. 

OK... here's the deal! 

You can get started on your own digital scrapbooking by visiting My Memories Suite.  And here's the BEST part.  There's a special discount just for my blog readers!  Copy & paste this special coupon code: STMMMS35152  to receive a $10 discount off the purchase of the My Memories Suite Scrapbook software and a $10 coupon for the MyMemories.com store - a $20 value!

In addition to that... I also have one FREE digital software package to give away!  To qualify... just visit My Memories Suite to find your favorite digital paper pack or image.  Comment on this blog post to let me know which one you liked best! 

You have until Sunday, October 23 at midnight central time to leave a comment for the giveaway. 

Here's to trying something new!  YAY!   

Good luck everyone!
