Playin’ Catchup!

Heather — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 20:22:00 +0000

Yes, I do remember that I have a blog! lol

Wow, this week has been completely and TOTALLY nuts! I started getting a sore throat Monday along with some sinus drainage. Should have called in sick Tuesday, but didn’t… and got rear-ended on the way to work! UGH!! Wednesday I had all these red, swolled spots on my arms, legs, chest, back, etc… turned out I was having an allergic reaction to amoxicillian that I took like two weeks ago! Thursday it was worse, so I went to the doc for a cortisone shot. Friday was fairly quiet, and then Saturday I spent the day at my parent’s – cookout and pool fun with my brother’s family – and today I’m paying for it with very, VERY red arms, cheeks and more! But it was fun!

So this week Jack and I are preparing to go to Buffalo, New York. I have some training scheduled with one of our vendors up there, so we’re going a few days early to do some sightseeing around Niagara and Toronto. I’ve never been to Canada, so it should be interesting!

Other than that, I am hoping that this week is MUCH, MUCH quieter than last week! I take my car to the body shop on Monday, so let’s pray that goes smoothly! :o)

Knee Deep in Code!

Heather — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 14:06:00 +0000

So what have I been doing for the past week? Setting up a website of course!

I’m the pround new owner of DacrisCloset.com! It’s a place for my digital scrapbooking stuff, including cool kits for sale! It’s not 100% complete yet, so don’t judge me too harshly! lol When it’s all said an done there will be a store, my class calendar, even a gallery! But right now I have three kits up for sale through Paypal links…. start simple, right? :o)

While you’re at it, check out Jack’s new site…. Needlegeek.com!

So, are you curious about those kits that you’ll receive when you take one of the Digital Scrapbooking 101 classes at The Scrapbook Pad? Well, here’s a sneaky peek… shhhhh…

I’ve added a few things to the kits since I created these sneaks, so trust me, there are still surprises to be had! Oh, and did I mention the prizes? :o)

Distractions

Heather — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 23:46:00 +0000

I really should be working on some graphic design stuff, but what am I really doing? Surfing. The web, that is. And remembering some fun surfing Friday night at the store! Ah yes, Ms. Donna was in the house… check out her blog for more photos from nights 1 and 2.

Another Peek at Digi 101

Heather — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 21:04:00 +0000

So here’s kit number 2 for my class… it’s a little more girly, but it doesn’t have to be. It would make a great spring/summer page too! The other kit (called “Fresh”) is more masculine, I think, so this one had to balance it out. :o)

My Digital Scrapbooking 101 classes are scheduled for Wednesday, September 5th from 6:30-8:30 pm, and will repeat on Sunday, September 16th from 2:00-4:00 pm. You’ll get two free digital kits, and will walk out of the class with two printed scrapbook pages! Oh, and it’s only $20! I’m really, really excited about teaching this class. If you want to sign up, call The Scrapbook Pad at (817) 656-4905 (note: I’m not teaching the class in August, I start my class in September) For my class you’ll need to bring a laptop (unless you just want to watch, but that’s no fun!), and the class size is very limited.

So very, very excited!!

Sneak Peek

Heather — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 06:57:00 +0000

So in anticipation of my digital 101 classes in September, I’m putting together a couple of digikits for my students. Here’s a sneak peek at the first one. :o)

I really like these colors, and I hope my students do too! Maybe later this week I’ll show a sneak peek at another one… we’ll see!

(P.S. Special thanks to Jamie for her inspiration! lol)

Voting

Heather — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 03:34:00 +0000

I’ve never voted on a TV show. Not American Idol, not anything. I’ve just been a passive observer (ok, maybe passive is a stretch).

Tonight was a first. I voted. For this man, Greg Chavez, on American Inventor.

If you haven’t seen it, the show takes ideas from ordinary people and give them the chance to win a million dollars and put their idea into the marketplace. Mr. Chavez’ invention is called Guardian Angel. It’s a Christmas Tree fire prevention system. He is a firefighter and has seen the destruction first hand that is caused by Christmas tree fires every year. The video he showed of how quickly a tree, and the entire room, go up in flames was disturbing! He, and his idea, touched me enough that at the end of the show I actually picked up my phone, for the first time ever, and dialed those numbers on the screen. Over and over and over again. I don’t know if it was his humble nature, his love for his family, or just the sheer potential of his invention to save lives, but something got to me, and made a difference. And I really do hope that I made a difference.

It’s probably too late to encourage you to vote too, but watch the show next Wednesday, and check this guy out, because his invention could one day save your family.

THE Book

Heather — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 03:47:00 +0000

I’m not even going to say the name of it, because everyone knows by now. :o)

I accompanied Jack to the midnight release “ball” at Borders Friday night. What a circus that was! After waiting for about an hour, we emerged victorious! Woo hoo!

Also, it’s official, I have two class dates on the September calendar to teach Digital Scrapbooking 101 Classes. Is it a bad thing to be nervous already? :o)

We found a tree trimmer… actually we got quotes from a few of them. It was about what I was expecting, but Jack was a little surprised at how high the quotes were. Oh well, it’s a necessary evil, right? Hopefully we can get that done in the next few weeks.

And last, but not least, if you’re in the North Texas area, check out The Scrapbook Pad… they have Donna Downey coming in to teach classes in a couple of weeks. She’s teaching some very cool classes! Go check it out!
