What a Week!

Hi, Wow what a busy week I am having. first of all I took my youngest daughter to EFY in Rexberg, ID. She is there for a weeek. She was really scared, but I know once she gets involved she will have a blast. she comes home on Sat. With the price of gas, we are putting her on the bus. I can't wait to hear about her stories. I even stopped in at Porters craft store. Looking for some fabric to make my apron. I am involved with an apron swapp. I shoudl put up some link. If I knew how. Anyone. How do you do that? You know when put up the a link and they seem to come up highlighted? And if you click on it, then it will take you there? Any ways I will have to take a look into it. I love aprons. I am in the process of making several aprons. Now if I could just get my energy up to start some sewing. ( http://sassyapronswap.blogspot.com/) Here is the link to the swapp. I know that it is closed, but I am sure someone will do another one. Enough about that.
Then I got to go on a scrapbooking trip. It was called Lisa Bearson Adventures. Or something like that. It was really fun. About 150 women and 2 guys went on this adventure around the SLC valley and we went behind the scens at some local scrapbooking companies. I loved it. I got to be on the bus with the guys and Brian was my bus buddie. He is starting a Ditgital scrapbooking company. It looks like he is very good at what he does. He had some samples and they looked great. Good luck Brian.
Then I got to go to the Scrapbooker of the year Banquet. It was so great. I really admire these ladies and what they do. Me I just try to get some pics on pages and have fun with it.
While at the Hotel (where it was held at,) I got to meet some of the scrapbook teachers. Ladies that I just admire. That was fun. I will have to try to upload some pics later. I even got some camera lessons from the CK Photo guys. They were really nice to help me. trying to understand my camera. Well I need to get ready for our play at the Hale center theater.

More later,
