Good weekend!

I had a great weekend! Last night Jenn and I went to SCRAPFEST! Yeah! It’s my one night out a year {guaranteed} sans kiddo and hubby! We got there just after 5pm and didn’t leave till just after 8:30pm! We got some GREAT deals! Didn’t win anything {as of yet!!! Ya never know!!} Apparently the Bug called my name around 9pm but we had gone already! {Wonder what I would have won!! Darn….oh well!}

The Scrapbook and Cards Today magazine ladies {Catherine and Kerry} had a promotion to gather birthday cards for the children in the Sick Kids Hospital……..they looked like they had a whole STACK of them in the booth last night…wonder how many more they got today?!?! It would be great it I won the door prize too!

Here are the cards I made:

 

Here’s my goodies….some free {that came in my VIP goodie bag}…most I paid for!

I got 4 stamp sets, a couple single stamps, some ribbon {OF COURSE!}, some chipboard, about 50 new pattern papers {new to me anyways…}, glue dots, and then my freebies! Lots of fun!

We had a GREAT time!! Saw LOTS of people I hadn’t seen in awhile! {Good to see you again Karan!!} Trenton stayed with Grandma and Papere for the night {Thanks guys for watching him! He said he had lots of fun with you guys! Even if he DID fall outta bed!}….

On {EARLY} Saturday morning, Mom and Trenton met me in town to go to our first yard sale….in St. Jacobs! I only spent 5 bucks and got a bunch of stuff!

Yes I KNOW there’s some pink clothing in the picture but I couldn’t pass them up…if we don’t need them, I’ll just have to find someone with a new baby girl or sell them in our own yard sale we’re having after the baby’s born!!! {{I’m hoping to be able to use them though!!}}

Thanks for a good morning Mom! I had alotta fun! And thanks againfor looking after Trenton! I appreciate it! I had a GREAT time out…I love my son but some days, Mommy just need to get out on her own!!

Have a great week everyone!! I’m participating in the WEEK LONG CROP at Savvy N Sassy!! Come check it out! There’s TONS of challenges, classes, make n takes, etc. AND prizes galore….the grand prize is AWESOME!!!!! You should head over to the site and join in…..You’ll have LOTS of fun!! See you there!! Off to check my BINGO words!!!
