2 days to go.....yo 'homes to CKU!

SO excited about CKU Masters in Anaheim....I've been so distracted by Natl Scrap Day (which was excellent, by the way, the SECOND HIGHEST sales day EVER), then the following week when the sales were so low (everyone spent all their money over the weekend?) Trying to decide what to do about the store, looks like we're going to give it one more shot. We've had a couple of smallish financial "breakthrus", in other words a new credit card and a refinance op...

I've been practicing our Tracy's Pen song a lot...Evan is singing it now, too! Doing laundry, getting ready to pack. Must remember to take clothes, as my Mom reminded me! How much scrap stuff to take? Probably a Nav, plus whatever stacks comfortably on it. A separate bag for classes, just like convention. Still need to get the pants, or just wear black jeans? Need to plug in the batteries for the ....... video camera, what else? Can't miss the op to film this historic moment...

Oh yeah, and the nametag, which I can finish Wednesday night (or on the road) if necessary. Tomorrow I'll focus on store stuff, getting all situated for my absence. And try to fit in a manicure....

Is it time to go yet? Of course we have to leave at the ungodly hour of 6:30, or was it 6:15? I guess I can just jump in the shower, brush my teeth, throw on clothes and GO. Makeup can wait. Hope I don't scare anyone.....I'm sure I'll be up late Tuesday night, last minute packing and whatnot...

Let's see, 1 day, and 8 hours (just under) to go. Haven't decided about taking a layout, maybe just the "Evan at (almost) eight" layout, it's already scanned. Do I want to take an album of my work? I'm sure everyone else will.....all my layouts are on the wall right now.

So excited about Erika's possible new opportunities! Hope it can work out to the store's advantage as well. Not being selfish, I just want the store to succeed. Where would we go to scrap, otherwise?

Hmmmmmm.....gotta wind down. Maybe tomorrow I will have a chance to buy some new tunes for the road, but with 5 gals (one of them Erika) there's not gonna be a lot of op to pick music!

Love ya, Tracy's girls! This is gonna be da bomb!

Welcome to my little world....

I actually sent a link to this to some trusted friends....I hope they don't think I'm insane. Or maybe I am....

I've become addicted to blogs. I have a whole group that I check everyday, which often leads to other blogs, other links, products I have to have, like cool rub on letters for the wall, or an Iron thingy that says "It's all good" .....
