Life is Grand!

I tell you, there isn't enough time in the day to play! I have sooo many toys that I want to use...I finally broke into my most FABulous Stampin' Up Grand Soiree! The set is absolutely calling my name! I teamed it up with Stampin' Up Basic Gray and black. I was digging around in my black ribbons and decided on the gingham. I added paper piercing and some bling...I absolutely *love* the font they used on the text stamp, Ain't Life Grand.

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend! My daughter's soccer team won their game on Saturday. The kids and I had our family pictures taken on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday my boy helped me do a complete re-org in the garage. Boy, I have a ton of "stuff"...we managed to take a car load to Goodwill. I have a bunch of stuff that will go out with the garbage this week and everything else is in bins. It looks sooo much better...gives me a sense of calmness when I'm in the garage....before I always closed my garage door speedy quick because most of my neighbors are retired and let me tell you, you could probably eat off of their garage floors. I was horribly embarassed by my mess...now I want them to see the re-org :)

Have a super week!!!

We're like you with the garage! LOL I know what you mean...but we have an OLD Cadillac in there and there's not much room for anything else...except what's crammed up against the sides (talk about embarassing!) I need to GET RID of the stuff....why is it so hard to do?

Oh yea, the Casino opens on 11/6...at 10 p.m. The 'big attraction' is Jessica Simpson. ;-) Not my speed, but I bet it'll be a memorable night!
