8-Days!

I can't believe the cruise is only 8 days away!!! That is it! I am so excited. I bought 3 new pairs of flip flops this weekend (I needed some new ones). I am sure I will start packing this weekend cause i'm so excited!!!!

We leave August 8th and come back pretty much REALLY early morning on the 14th! I'm so excited to eat Pizza whenever I want (and i don't have to pay for it!) Go dancing, spend a day in cozumel, lay by the pool, and so much more! It is going to be so much fun.

I am definitly NOT on a diet when i'm on the cruise. However, I think I will still work out. They have classes on the ship and I think it would be fun to take some. So I'll have to check that out.

I know right now that 4 days won't be enough time! But I'm so fortunate to go that many days! I will definitly post pictures when i get back!

hot Summer day

Well it has been a busy past week!! Gooseberry park Players summer production of "Hood: The Musical" opened and the street fair took place downtown. Meaning not much parking and craziness!!

Here are my two latest creations using the Autumn Leaves: French Twist line


It is such fun paper to work.
I have been eyeing all the new stuff coming out. I am really impressed with BasicGrey. As I like their lines this past winter - it seemed like they were similar in a way and just like things I have seen in the past. But their new lines are STUNNING! The colors are awesome -the topics and their die cuts are AWESOME!

Autumn Leaves has pulled out all the trick again on their acrylic stamps. The christmas stamps are must haves in my book! They are definitly on my wish list!

I LOVE the Maya Roads stuff. They keep coming out with adorable mini albums. I love love love the bird album.

I'm usually not a Queen & Co. fan - not really my style - but i LOVE their new designs in their felt ribbon. Adorable!

And Heidi Swapp - Need i say more?

I do also have to say i love all the new christmas lines that are coming out! There are so many...i'm going to have a hard time choosing!

GSDPA Brochure

I worked on the studio brochure this weekend. Matt Loves it. I feel like it could be better - but maybe that is because I was looking at it all weekend. There are a few changes i need to make - other wise I think it is about ready to go to the printers. My next step is to work on getting the Gasper Dance Wear put together so we can get that ordered here in the next week or 2. I would love to have it by registration time!

Our cruise is in about 24 days! I'm so excited. We got our booking and boarding information last week! Now we just need to wait for Matt's passport. Hopefully it arrives this week. It is going to be such an AWESOME trip!!!

3 Day Weekend

I've had a great 3 Day weekend. I didn't do too much and probably have so much still to do - but I'm Lazy!

I have been working on an updated version for the Dance Studio's newsletter, geting ads together for Gooseberry, did some cleaning around the apt., and made some designs for Gasper Dancer Wear (I won't reveal it yet though). Oh and here is a page I created yesterday - inpsired by an ad.

New Title

So I played around with a Title to my BLOG tonight. Not sure if I LOVE it though. So i'm sure it will change a few times - until i make something i LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

I don't have to work for the next few days. I'm already bored! I had to work the 4th of July - but i get a 3 day weekend instead. I'm totally okay with that. But my 3-day weekend is here and BORING! Everyone is out of town it seems like. Or i just don't have that many friends in town. Who knows.

I have been tanning (preparing for the cruise). I don't see much progress. But hopefully in a week or so I will.

Well off to maybe watch a Movie or More tv :D

Dance Dance Revolution

So Matt & I went to the Twin Cities this weekend. It was a lot of fun - even though we were only there for about a day. But we went to Ikea and got some stuff for our apt (including a new dresser and bedding!!). We also went to Mall of America and just hung out and walked around - and did a little shoppping.

And we got to eat at PF Changs (mmm...one of my favorite resturaunts!!) Plus to top it off Cheesecake Factory was next door and we got cheesecake to go! mmm...

When we got home (well to my brother & sister-n-laws house) we played Dance Dance Revolution! That is HARD! I have some pictures to show us playing. I'm intense! I'll try to post the video when my brother sends it to me. It is so funny. I seriously sucked at it.

I had a good weekend though - i haven't seen my brother & sister in law since Christmas I think. That is a LONG time. Too long! I have to remember to visit more often.

Going to the twin cities

Matt & I are heading to the Twin Cities this weekend. I'm excited to leave Fargo for a day. LOL We are going to shop at Ikea and Mall of America (b/c Ikea is right next door). Our 1 meal we REALLY want is PF Changs. So we'll have to do that! IT's a must! Other than that - just chill... Matt will probably get to play video games at my brother & sister-in-laws house. And that is about it. Quick trip. But it will be nice. :D

My mom and dad left today for Italy (for 10 days). hope they have fun and I better see pics when they get back!

Strange people :D

sleepy

Not sure why i'm sleepy today - but I am. I had a really lazy weekend. I didn't really do anything. I sat around and watched tv, scrapbooked, went to a movie, grocery shopped, and some other stuff. Friday Kate was in town from Cleveland visiting. So Becky, Kate & myself went out. It was so much fun! I'll post pictures later tonight!

Saw the movie Knocked Up on Saturday. It was funny, Matt didn't think it was that funny - i think the prego thing and kid thing scared him. haha.

I think i need coffee before Cardio Karate - I just can't keep my eyes open. I feel like i haven't slept in days - even though i slept quite a bit this weekend.

Pictures to come this evening. I think i'm going to go buy the dishes we want this week - maybe tomorrow night - i have things to do this evening.
