Busy Weekend!

4 Scrappy Sisters spent the weekend vendoring a scrapbook retreat with Scrappin Retreat.  We had a great time, met a lot of fun scrappers, scrapped a little ourselves and sold some of our stock - heck I really don't think it gets much better than that :)

~ Here's a look at what I was able to accomplish this weekend ~

---------------------------->  One Proud Mama  <----------------------------

I just have to share a very proud mama moment with you.  Take a look at this - my son Jacob (Jake as they call him on the ball field).  

Jake's No Hitter

Can you see me beaming from ear to ear!

I hope your weekend was filled with great joy.  Chat again real soon!

Just A Little Easter Humor

Don't send a lame Easter eCard. Try JibJab Sendables!

I've Created A Social Monster :/

My 13 year old son has one of the greatest sense of humors I've ever known, and this just goes to prove the point.  I accidently left my computer unattended with the 4 Scrappy Sisters message board still live.  When I came back there was a post entitled "The sexyest boy alive".  I was afraid we had a hacker but quickly learned it was just my socially starved son.  Well as the night wore on it became apparent that he was having way too much fun for a kid his age and even ended up creating his own user account :0  You've gotta love the name he chose "Da Man".  What a total nut.  Look at a couple of his posts:

"Da Man"{user name} {Avatar pic.}

What have I created!?!?  I did tell him if he wants to be a part of the mb he must scrap something.  He said, "I'll just throw a little card together."  We'll see!

Check out this layout I made during the 4 Scrappy Sisters cyber crop.  It features Adam modeling the new suit we bought him for mom's wedding.

Spring Has Hit Virginia!

Yep, it's the end of March here in Virginia and all signs are pointing to another beautiful and busy spring.  We have runny noses, itchy eyes, constant sneezing, baseball practices, baseball games, baseball tournaments, more sneezing, sinus headaches...do you see where I'm going with this.

Well, with the help of Claratin and/or Zyrtec, I was able to see Jacob's, my oldest, first High School baseball game about a week ago.  He pitched an unbelievable first game.  If fact, I don't think they can get much better.  He pitched a 7 inning - NO HITTER - game, with only 92 total pitches thrown and a top pitch speed of 88 mph.  Can you tell I'm one proud baseball mom!

Despite my extremely busy spring schedule, 4 Scrappy Sisters was able to pull off a week long Crop-Til-Ya-Drop cyber crop and it was a tremendous hit!  My Design Team is unbelievable - without their hard work and dedication the crop would have been a mess.  Hats off to each of you.  You gals ROCK!  

And you won't believe this, I was even able to pull off a few of the challenges myself.  Take a look at this cute little card I created for one of the card challenges.

Chat again real soon - I promise!  :)

  

Tis the Season

Thanksgiving is now over and the mad rush is on! Adam and I actually braved the early morning crowds yesterday and accomplished some shopping. Poor Adam though, he really got an eye full of the "Grinchy" side of Christmas. Sad to say we witnessed pushing, grabbing, butting in line and just plain ugly natured people. Some life lessons are hard to witness but help us grow as individuals.

This afternoon we're all going to enjoy some college football.

It's the big UVA vs Va. Tech game. GO Hookies!

I'm Addicted

Okay this is really scary!

As I was blog hoppin' just yesterday I came across this little quiz. I must admit I knew I'd receive a high score but didn't think it would be in the 70's...I really need to get a life.

Ramblings From A Proud Football Mom....

They did it...they did it!

The Lee-Davis HS JV football team rocked the county with the best winning season on record in many, many years. Last nights win ended their season with a dominating record of 8 WINS and 2 losses. A stunning record indeed.

The Lee-Davis boys were unstoppable last night. With each blow of the whistle, the C-feds dug in and pushed forward for positive yardage. This relentless determination and powerful teamwork resulted in a scoreless game by their opponents; Lee-Davis 27 - Atlee 0.

This group of starters marked their place in history this year with constant dedication and skill....

18 - Phillip {Quarterback}
17 - Justin {Wide Receiver}
15 - Jacob {Full Back & Line Backer} my son
11 - LaJay {Full Back & Line Backer}
10 - Brandon {Wide Receiver}

CONGRATULATIONS BOYS!
