How many times throughout their lives have I told my boys, "Don't leave things to the last minute!" I would get so angry with them when they would tell me Sunday night that a project was due on Monday. Thank goodness I had a cupboard with emergency school supplies! Or they needed  2 dozen cookies for school the next day, or a Japanese kimono for an assembly the following morning. The all time best one happened the morning I was flying home to visit my parents. I was kissing the boys good bye when Trevor announced that he needed black dress pants (NO Jeans), a white long sleeve shirt and dress shoes for a band concert that afternoon! He owned none of the above. I looked at Howie and said, "He is all yours!" Well, Trevor attended the concert wearing his Dad's white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, black jeans and sneakers. One out of three wasn't bad!
I am going to Saskatoon this weekend (leaving Friday) and I have many things that I need to do and gifts that I need to make. I have left everything to the last minute! Oh, no! I am in panic mode now and it is not a place I like to be. I am flying to Saskatoon to meet my Mom and my youngest sister. We moved away from Saskatoon 40 years ago and we are going back to take a picture of us in front of our old house! We are hoping that the owners will be kind enough to let us peek inside. I have been elected (by my sister) to knock on the door and ask...which I will do. Now please note that I said I was going to ask if we could have a "peek" inside. My sister asked me to bring a small video camera just incase we are allowed to look around inside! I don't think so Jane! The homeowners would think we were crazy people!
We still keep in touch with 3 sets of neighbours who have moved off the street, and they are going back to the old street for a picture session too. One person being my best friend growing up! It is going to be a great weekend, which I will be scrapbooking later.
The newsletter is done and you will find the class project pictures on my website. It is another class filled month! I love all of them! New products will be arriving shortly. Yippee! The countdown will be on for the SMASH books and accessories. It will be like Christmas at Scrapbookers!
We have started going to the lake on the weekends and this was my view while sitting on the dock with my favorite beverage in hand. Ah, my little piece of paradise. Have a great week and happy crafting!
