When your passion becomes an obsession

As most of you already know, Scrapbooking is my passion. I am starting to wonder though if I have taken it a little to far. I am trying to scrapbook everything I see.lol
I have learned that you can scrapbook yourself a very nice pair of slippers out of sanitary napkins, yea you heard right. Also if your hem falls out before an important event and you do not have a sewing kit or a stapler you can always use Scrapbooking glue dots. My latest new finding is if you are trying to save money in this awful recession and cannot find an excuse to get a pedicure you can do your own and use those cute little scrapbooking rubons to put on your big toe. Wa la it looks professional to me.... Yes indeed I have lost my mind and heart to scrapbooking...

Treasure Boxes

 

I am doing a class on how to make these darling treasure boxes. The class is Monday June 8th at 6:30 pm at my home. There is no cost for the class but you are required to place a $20 order out of our New Close to my Heart Catalog. You will also need to bring your own ribbon and embellishments. We will be using the Bella paper packet which colors are Cream Brulee, Hollyhock, Olive and Smokey plum. You will also need to bring a good scrapbooking adhesive. Glue sticks will not work. I only have 4 spots left so RSVP ASAP at jojanderson@hotmail.com. Thanks

Forever Strong

Forever Strong is the most awesome sports movie out there in my opinion. It is a movie that every young man should watch. It is a true story about the Highland Rugby team and part of it was filmed right on our Grantsville High Football field. In fact you will see a few of our own in the movie such as J.D.'s 4th grade teacher Mr. Thomas and one of the students at Grantsville High, Jason Arbon among others. The fact that I love this movie really has nothing to do about being filmed in Grantsville, but about the coach and the love he had for these boys. I love how he taught these young men morals and standards on and off the field. He taught them that hard work pays off and caring about each other is vitally important in their success. Well I am sure my husband will be reading this and probably has figured out his father's day gift but I had to share with all of you that you can preorder this movie at deseretbook.com today, May 5th and tomorrow May 6th for a discounted price. This movie is a definite must for your movie library.

Jr. Prom goes great, whew!

The prom went very well considering the awful week trying to get everything put together. I have decided that it is easier to send a girl to the prom than a boy. We finally got a limousine reserved, reservations at the restaurant, coursage, and tuxedo ordered. The hardest part was trying to get these 7 boys together to make the final plans. Finally I just did everything and then printed out a memo for every boy with times to meet, how much everything was and all the final plans ect. then Kyle handed them out. The morning of the prom the whole group of kids 14 to be exact plus a few stragglers went to Boondocks and had a blaste. They all went to get their dates at 3:30 and met at the school to get in the Limo. The Limo driver turned out to be lots of fun, he brought a Ford Excursion stretch Limo and Kyle was in Heaven.lol He went with Melissa Baird who looked absolutely beautiful. They went to the Roof in the Joseph Smith Memorial building to eat dinner, then returned to the prom. The prom was beautiful and everything went well. After they went to Dallin Littlefield's to watch the movie Bedtime stories on a huge screen T.V. but all of them fell asleep. They were all exhausted. Kyle went with a great group of kids and I had no worries!! Kyle was home by 1:00 and Mom is finally sleeping like a baby.lol Kyle looked so handsome!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone was coming up to him at the prom expecially lots of moms and was bragging to him how handsome he looked. Of course I smiled with pride. tee hee

Cowboy baseball

Wow!! Our Grantsville High School baseball team (in which my very handsome husband is the coach.lol) is really lighting them up. We have started the season with an impressive 4-0 win streak. Loren has decided not to shave as long as they keep winning. I am hoping that he looks like Moses by the end of the season. Go Cowboys!!
