OK... so I'm in the middle of the 3rd Fablehaven book (by Brandon Mull) AND Breaking Dawn just came out and I bought it last night (at midnight...) so soon I will forget the world and get my nose stuck in the books, so here is what I did this weekend!
Friday I signed up for an All-Nighter at Scrapbooks-Etc. with Fawn & Karen. I got all my stuff loaded in the car (she's almost 11 years old to us... Aug 11th is her "birthday" into our family) and headed out to get Fawn and then get Karen and then head to Walmart for a few last minute things and then to Golden Spoon for our FREE frozen yogurt (Thanks Steve!!!). Well... Chuck told me the car had no "get up and go"... so I took it easy. Boy was he right, the car acted like it didn't want to move... well, it started going and I thought, good... wake-up and let's go! Then all of a sudden she was having a hard time again... and then, as I turned the corner onto Olive (mind you I only got down my street), lights started flashing at me from the dash and she DIED... right there and then! YIKES!!! I thought... great, now what... so I called Fawn and asked her if she didn't mind driving, caz my car DIED!!! So she came and picked me up, we loaded my stuff into her Suburban, left my poor dead car in front of our friends house... right where it died... and we were off (she had me drive caz she was eating her dinner!) We got Karen, ran our quick errands and got to the scrapbook store and enjoyed an evening of creativity! It was very enjoyable... led by one of my favorite people at Scrapbooks-Etc... Sandee Traasdahl! Then Fawn & I left our stuff there, because we were returning the next morning for the Scrapfest... scrapbooking from 1030am-1030pm!!! It was so much fun... oops... let's go back to the end of the late-nighter... after that (it was 1130pm) we decided to go to Walmart to get Breaking Dawn. There weren't that many people in line for it, PLUS it only cost 13.68 (plus tax)... BARGAIN!!! For a hardback, that's AWESOME!!! So I brought it home and gave it to Chuck (who is currently reading it! That's OK, I still have to finish the 3rd Fablehaven book...). And then I went to bed so I could get up the next morning and go SCRAP AGAIN!!! So... seeing we only have 1 vehicle now... Fawn drove us to the Scrapfest and we scrapped all day long! I got 13 layouts completed, plus all the paper picked out for my last 3 sets of cards for Card Club for the year (with my school starting soon, I want all other stresses off me so I can focus on spreading out my time wisely). I felt accomplished after today. I know I need to keep up with my scrapbooking, but one thing at a time... right? So anyways... I posted a few pics below of the fun from the Scrapfest, oh and one of my poor car sitting all alone on the street! Hope you enjoy! Oh- and I'll post again after I'm done reading!!! (Unless something else fun comes up that I HAVE to post!)
My YUMMY Peanut Butter Cookie from the Bread Basket (next door to Scrapbooks, Etc.) It was PERFECTION... big, thick, soft and perfectly cooked through... WOW... is all I have to say about it!
Our work space at the Scrapfest... notice my YUMMY cookie???
Me and Fawn!!! I love to take pictures of me and people by myself... I'm becoming quite good at getting us both in the picture!
The Scrapfest room... there are table space enough for 36 people now! CRAZY!!!
My poor broken down car... Oh-well... sometimes you've gotta roll with the punches. This is a BIG one, but we always make it through! What a positive note to end on... now time to start READING!!!

oh cool cool! Have fun reading!!! I haven't scrapbooked in a while, I probably should, but I probably won't. haha
looks like you had WAY LOADS of FUN! I miss the days of scrappin' with you. do you remember when we would scrap at the clubhouse with Mona and Debbie and everyone? fun times!
eat a bite of that yummy cookie for me!
You make me want to get into scrapping again! I should at least get my cards planned and the basics cut. But somehow I always end up with things that have a higher priority in the way. I guess that's why it's important to take a day just for that once in a while!
Such a bummer about your car! I hope it's something that can be fixed - cheaply.
I thought Fablehaven 3 was the best yet! I can't wait for the rest! and Breaking Dawn was perfection! LOVED it!!
