Las Vegas

Our time in LV went by so fast... I wish I was still there! The first night (Sunday) Tracy and I just had an early dinner and caught up on some sleep. My cousin Jade flew in on Monday to keep me company (or in trouble) LOL. On Monday, Tracy and his 2 coworkers finished the conference around dinner time we all meet up at the convention center for FREE beer/wine/food, got bored and decided to hit the road, the most interesting drive ever, Jade and I thought we were going to die! Anyways, we ended up at the top of the Eiffel Tower! It was so cool to see the Bellagio water show from that high up, we just caught the last showing at midnight. Also, Tom (Tracy's boss) got upgraded at Manadalay Bay because he checked in so late and ended up with a suite... with an awesome view of the strip, the best part was he could push a button and the blinds went up (like in the movies!) it was so cool, we hung out up there for a while :) Next I will post a blog on my sushi experience and then our Private show with Cheap Trick.....

Utah

Oh boy, Utah was awesome... it snowed and it was gorgeous!!! Here are a few pics from last weekend at the CTMH Album Retreat, I was trying to post them earlier, but there was no internet access in Utah and its $13 a day here in Las Vegas where I am staying (The Hotel at Mandalay Bay). The Retreat was awesome, we got a 12x12 linen album (in a NEW color!) made 10 double layouts plus a title page, a mini book using the True Fit Folio's, got like 8 stamp sets and all the leftover flowers, ribbon, chipboard, etc that we didn't use on our pages, so worth it! Also the food was yummy the entire time :)

Leaving town...

I am leaving town tomorrow for almost 12 days!!! I have never been gone that long :) I am excited but a little stressed (hence the migraine/headache). First i am heading to Park City, Utah for the CTMH Album Retreat from Thursday - Sunday where it is going to be in the 30's and will probably get snow... then on Sunday afternoon I am flying to Las Vegas to meet up with my husband who has to be there for a convention. My cousin, Jade is flying in from Atlanta on Monday to keep me company (or in trouble, lol) We are seeing KA on Tuesday!!! Then she'll leave on Thursday and my in-laws fly in, which they will rent a car and we will drive to 29 Palms, CA to visit my husbands uncle/wife that I have never met before :) We will be there from Thursday night thru Sunday, then drive back for one more night in Vegas before our flight on Monday afternooon.... woo hoo... sounds pretty tireing huh? The only thing I am worried about is what to pack for temps from the 30's to the 80's :) Pray I don't go over the 50lb limit!!! I have internet access the entire trip, that i know of, so I will try to blog from the road...... xooxx

I saw Daughtry last week!

Last week, I got to see Daughtry in concert with some friends. It was, or I should say HE was TOTALLY HOT and the concert TOTALLY ROCKED!!!! I hope to see him again soon :)

What are you?

What scrapbooking item are you?

You are Fibers!Fun and crazy at times. You are a warm fuzzy kind of person. You run around getting things done but still find time for fun! You have so many diverse interests that it is often hard to pin you down to any one thing. People love your friendly attitude and carefree ways. You often brighten other people's days. But Fibers Beware - Sometimes people don't take you seriously because of your happy-go-lucky ways. Sometimes you find yourself feeling left out from decision making that could directly affect you. Even though you like to be happy and cheerful, make sure others know that you can also be serious and in tune with reality.

I watched my nephew...

I've never watched anyone (childwise) overnight before and I offered to watch my 16 mo. old nephew last week. Well, my sister took me up on it (I think she was very nervous). Well, Brayden arrived on Saturday afternoon. We played, went for a walks, took naps, went swimming, ate yummy food, watched some movies... had a good time and he only cried 3 times (2 of those times was when my sister would call and check on him and I left him with my hubby, he didn't want me to leave the room) It was a good weekend. My family came over on Monday for a cookout and my sister took him home. I talked to her today and she tells me that I spoiled him... what are aunts for???? Here are a few pics from the weekend :) P.S. That is my sister letting him go thru the cat door on my back porch - next time he comes over i think he will wonder why i don't fit thru there anymore, LOL

CTMH Hostess Club!!!

Oh la la... a preview of new CTMH paper that isn't available til September 1st! I just finished this layout and love this paper :) I am starting a Hostess Club in October and this is going to be our first layout to make. Do you know what a Hostess Club is? Let me explain... the club is limited to 6 people, you must commit for 6 months. The club/group will meet at my house (I have selected Sundays once a month, or if you get a group of 6 we can have it whenever and wherever you'd like) during our meetings we will make a 2 page layout - no charge. The commitments mentioned above are for 6 months and you would purchase $25 of CTMH products each month (prior to or at the club meetings). Each month there would be a different hostess therefore each taking turns earning the FREE Hostess merchandise (minimum of $25 FREE each month, depends on sales of club members)Make sense? Its a great opportunity to make some layouts, chat with other scrappers and get some great CTMH products!!! Space is limited, so sign up soon... email me at scrappinadriane@yahoo.com Let me know if you have questions :)
