...It's 4:00 in the morning here and I am up with Levi (jet lag is hitting him). So, I thought I would just check in and say officially that WE ARE BACK!! We got back to the States on Tuesday afternoon. Over 20 hours on a plane, 36 total travel hours, with three kids age three and under...phew! I am SO glad it is over. However, I must say, the kids were sooooo amazing and I can't complain one bit about how they travel-led. Total superstars!
I'm glad to be back. There are some things and some people that I will miss in Malaysia, but I am really glad to be back. I am excited about the things ahead of us and although there are still many unknowns, I know that things will work themselves out.
I am HOPING to start scrapping again in the next day or two. I miss it soooo much but I also dearly miss sleep and my family! It was so nice yesterday to be with my family and not have a bazillion things on my to do list. I just got to enjoy them.
I also got to enjoy TARGET...my most super favorite store EVER! When we lived in Colorado Springs there was a super Target a mile from my house and I was in heaven! So, I took Alaina with me yesterday so we could try to find a jacket for Caleb (the boy owns ONE long sleeve shirt and ONE pair of pants!) Living in Malaysia doesn't really call for warm clothes! So I picked him up a cute denim jacket. I also picked up a skirt for Alaina and some cute little mini-scrapbooks in the dollar spot. I could have gone crazy there but I restrained myself. I have to get out of the hoarding mentality -- I officially live in the States now so I don't have to get EVERYTHING right when I see it. But oh how fun would that be?
Well, since I can't share any LO's with you because I am not at my computer, I'll share a bit of scrapping news. I joined a few new creative teams over the last month or so. I know, I know, I feel crazy at times with so many teams. BUT, I just LOVE to scrap and being on creative teams makes me scrap (I am such a people pleaser that I always do my minimum requirements and usually more!) Also, since money is tight it is nice to get these AMAZING designs for free. I am now scrapping for Dani Mogstad and am a SugarBabe at SSD. And, I have another team I get to work with but I can't say anything yet. I want to shout this one from the rooftops but I'll wait patiently. Over at DST there is a thread about dream CT's. This is one of my three all-time dream teams. Of course, I am already on some of my dream teams but I have three that I would give an arm and leg to be on.
In other scrapping news I entered Photoshop Elements Scrappy Awards. There were ten categories and I entered all ten. Let's see if I can remember them...holiday, patriotic/military, pet, wedding, graduation, baby, sports, love/romance, and two more I can't remember. Luckily, they didn't have to be all new LO's so I got to use a bunch I had already done and only had to do a few in order to enter all categories. I made one of my new all time fav LO's so when I get my computer hooked up I'll give you a peek. They don't announce the winners until September...by then I'll probably have forgotten about it!
Okay, I need to go back to bed. Bye!
