Well I am up at 5:00 today. Why? I would love to go to sleep, I am very tired. Honestly I am not one of "Those" people who wake up early so that they can "do" things. I enjoy sleeping. I don't go to bed early, I usually am the last in our home to go to sleep. I wake up often and I seldom honestly rest. To many things to do and my mind doesn't like to STOP and think about me and what I need. It is truly annoying. I am waiting to go to sleep until at least he gets to work and texts me that he is there. He says I worry too much and that I need to calm down and trust him, but I haven't figured that one out yet. Its nearly 6, and I am still waiting for my mother to get on, would like to talk to her now but in the off chance she slept in I do not want to be the one to wake her up. I would feel way to bad. I haven't worked in two days and its frustrating me to no end. First he hurts his neck and then we end up going fishing. Nemo is staring me down and is so tired I truly think if he could talk he would not have many nice things to say to me right now. He may be a dog but some of the looks he gives me you would swear he truly understood. Well its 6 now, I think I am going to try and go back to sleep, until later.

Makin Scrapbook Seem So Easy.
Well today is a creating day. Yesterday I went live on Etsy and it was unreal. My things, my creations, out there for all the world to see. Pretty cool! I am always looking for ideas and materials in all the things I see. Today I am finishing up the start of my brothers graduation, I have an enormous amount of photos from that day, and though I don't want to use all of them, I want to make sure I use the right ones to get across the right message. Check my blog out the beginning part of the weekend to see what this page has turned out to be.
Thanks
Happy Scrappin'

All about Me!
That's what is supposed to go here. I have filled out a lot of these kinds of forums in the past few years. I graduated high school almost 6years ago. Time surly does fly. I grew up in a little ole' town, Delmar. I came from a large family, two sisters and one brother. We have one set of parents, and this year they will be celebrating their 27th wedding anniversary. I went to college and earned my teaching degree in such a long time span it seemed as though it would never come to be. Shortly after receiving my degree I began teaching preschool children in DE. At the close of last school year I was let go from the school in which I taught at. Fully expecting a call back my summer was spent worry free.
Almost 2 years ago I met a very special man. He seemed to good to be true and being the untrusting type ( I wasn't always like that but that's a different story), I gave him such a hard time. Over this past summer we decided to move me to Virginia so that I could be closer to him. He being in the Navy didn't give us many choices. Moving was the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. It met leaving everyone that I loved and truly cared about. My brother and sisters and dad and . . . my mother. . .
Me and my mom. Wow, now there is a story. She is the most wonderful person I have ever known. I never realized how great she was, maybe I realized it but I know I didn't appreciate her value and worth. Leaving her is just as hard today as it was 5 months ago. But in true mommy fashion, she backed me and pushed me to do and be better. Like she says, she just wants better for her kids than she and dad had. I love my father, but he is "daddy", and mom is my . . . air. She taught me everything I know; how to be a good person, and woman, a teacher, to be strong, confident, and great. She taught me how to create something out of nothing and so many values that I don't know that she really knows how much she has impacted my world.
SCRAPBOOKING! That is truly an illness, fetish, weakness. Call it what you may, if you scrap your far deeper in than you ever thought you would be. Mom and I started back when scrapbooking first made it really big. (You remember, Michaels still had the stickers on the rolls, and 8.5X11 was the paper size.) There we were figuring out the difference between Acid free and regular paper, and why any ole' glue just would not do. We caught the fever and have been scrapbooking ever since.
Now back to the "JOB" thing. Yeah teachers aren't as hard to come by in Virginia as they are in DE. I looked and looked and even had a few interviews and well, Nada! Nothing, no jobs anywhere. I have degrees, certificates, awards, certifications, and no job. That's just great. So I go into my Scrapbook room and I shoot my mom and instant message, and it dawns on me. I have good ideas, I love scrapbooking, and i'm pretty good at it too. I could open up my own "shop", couldn't I?
Just 10 short hours later I am sitting across from my boyfriend laying out my plan of action. Having already receiving a crash course in, the what's what and the who's who in cyber land from mom, I embark on a reading adventure. Handmade goods have their own store front now, Etsy.com, and not only do you list but now you blog, tweet, facebook, myspace, virb, photobucket, and on and on and on. Are you kidding? Can you blog on one site, NO! there is page after page, site after site, it's never ending.
I have created a web page, one of those freebie deals. I hope that it acts as a bit of a 'hub', between everything that I am on. Please, please, please, look me up check out my auctions, listings, blogs, tweets, and everything else that there is.
It's a new adventure, let's see where it's going to take me. Thank you for your time, if you read the entire thing I hope it made you think back to that special time and place in your life.
Have Fun.
Happy Scrapping.
