its monday..

and i can tell! Started off with ALOT of snow - i almost didn't go to the gym because i didn't want to be out in it - but glad i did in the end. Lots of things on the to do list today that i won't bore you with but i'm not excited. I did have a great weekend though. On Friday night Dean and I went down to Salt Lake for his work party. We ate at Flemmings in the Gateway - honestly i've never tasted better food EVER! It was to die for. We were going to do some shopping afterwards but ended up talking till it was closing time. Good to go on a date with dh - seems like its been a while.

Saturday - i had the opportunity to meet some awesome girls. My good friend Laura Vegas - who some how i met through the blogging world was coming to Utah to CK with her friend Deneen who had won a trip to meet Lisa B. and take a tour of CK media and have lunch with the 'big dogs'. She is as nice and beautiful in person as she is on her blog - it was fun to meet her finally - she does some amazing things with her camera and paper!
She was nice enough to invite me to a lunch with a few other fellow scrappers that i was so glad to meet. Wendy Sue Anderson, Jen Gallacher, Shaunte Wadley. All of them so funny and fun to be around. Can't wait to get to know them a little better - have always admired their work -but glad to have actually me them. I sat by Wendy Sue and was able to get know her a little bit and then couldn't stop laughing at Jen and Shaunte. Also there was another Wendy who works for CK and then some of Deneens cousins. It was a long drive - but worth it - i had to skip out of the warehouse sales because i had a party at my house at 5:00 that dean was patiently getting ready for while i was out playing.

Here is a Fancy Pants layout i did last week. So fun playing with paint and glimmer mist. I stamped with bubble wrap on a light blue sheet of PP from the splendid line and the tree trunk is from simplicity - i just roughed it up a bit. The red paper behind our pictures is from ' Daily Grind' (my personal fave) - and all of the chipboard elements are from the 'daily grind' shapes. The buttons are from the 'All Fall' line because the were a little more 'red'. I big mixture of everything!

Thanks for stopping by. I'm off to go hook up my new Epson WIDE format printer. So excited. My sister-in-law and I went in on this little deal going on over at Epson. That link will take you directly there. If your in the market for a new camera - this is an awesome deal. The camera is a D40 which is what i have and LOVE. And then the Epson 1400 printer together in a bundle for $549 - is that crazy or what! You don't get the extra lense - but that can always come later. The rebate is instant - no mail in and its $300 - and on top of that - shipping is free. I'm excited to try out the printer - i have the Epson r380 now and absolutley love it -so i'm sure i can't go wrong with the Epson.
