What I REALLY should be doing...

...is getting ready for tomorrow!! What a CRAZY weekend I have ahead of me--totally full of scrap!

First though, Katie is going to camp AGAIN! She was the TOP cookie seller in our Girl Scout Service area and the SECOND highest Brownie seller in all of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties combined. COMBINED! Since she sold over 1000 boxes, she is a member of he 1000+ club and is going to a special camp weekend just for all the 1000+ girls! How fun! She has to BE THERE at 8am tomorrow. Yikes. I need to get to bed!

Anyways, on to the scrappy stuff!

Tomorrow is Scrapbook Royalty's An Angel's Legacy Crop to benefit 4RKids'Sake and support Kaitlyn's Law. Okay, that was a mouthful! The crop is in Corona, CA from 11am-11pm. I'll be teaching a class in the early afternoon, my cute little vacation book, sponsored by Scrappin' Good Times. Trish, the owner of SGT, was totally generous in donating all the supplies for the project and in letting me have free reign over the design. So it is a really fun project as a result!

I'll be there ALL DAY LONG with my friends at Scrapbook Royalty. I'm gonna try to sneak in some cropping. I have a big bin of scraps and the plan is to make a boatload of cards out of them as my card stash is getting low and my scrap stash is seriously HIGH. Hopefully I'll make a dent in it.

THEN, I have my "Our Little Monster" class on Sunday at Scrappin' Good Times. I just finished the add-ons kits for this class tonight--they are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool!! Love them! I had to make extras so I'd be sure to get one. I STILL have 2 spots left (I can't believe it) so if you wanna get in, do it now! Instructors, if you wanna trade kits with me, LMK!

I got these super fun foam monsters to make my add-ons with (and they're acid-free too). I didn't even make a DENT in the box so I have tons left. They are really cute and VERY Monsters, Inc. If you want a RAK of them. just leave me a comment here with your email addy so I can get your snail mail addy from ya. If I already have your addy, then just let me know if you want some monster. Gotta spread the monster love you know!

Well, before this crazy weekend has even STARTED I feel like I need to go to a crop just to crop, just for ME. No work, no classes, no cutting for classes....JUST to crop. Don't get me wrong; I love all this teaching and being all involved in things, helping with Scrapbook Royalty stuff, hanging out at Scrappin' Good Times...it's super fun! But I just need some me time--like to get reconnected with why I am involved with and love this crazy hobby!

And I think it would be a good opportunity for Katie and I to spend some time with just her and I. Matt is kind of tied to my hip, you know. So she doesn't get alot of one-on-one anymore.

I don't have any more classes until mid-September so next week I plan on pulling out my page kits, ordering pics from Snapfish, getting Katie's stuff organized, and getting ready to crop. I don't know where or when I'll crop but I am GONNA CROP! I'm gonna find some crops to go to and sign up. I already know I am going to the Scrapbook Royalty crop in November--maybe I'll do both November crops! And once I go, I'm just gonna crop like there's no tomorrow!!

So if you're cropping this weekend, just know I am jealous! But have fun and maybe I will see you there!
