It's All Gravy: January 2010

Goodbye sweet princess

My heart is overflowing with sadness for some friends of mine, Sonda & Duane Tadlock. Diana and I attended their daughter Baylee's service yesterday to celebrate her healing. Please take a minute to think of this family in your prayers whenever you can. Here is Baylee's obituary. I have also included a link to a wonderful place loved dearly by Baylee. There is a darling slideshow of her. Project Ride helps special needs children & adults in so many ways and the family has set up a fund in memory of her for donations. I'm happy to have met Baylee twice and as a business that has the opportunity to give back to charities, we will donate our next quarter in Baylee's honor for Project Ride. God Bless you sweety!

BAYLEE ROSE TADLOCK

02-14-96 – 01-09-10

At the age of 13, Baylee peacefully passed away in her mothers arms at home. Baylee loved Ariel and riding horses at Project Ride. Baylee is survived by her Mother Cassonda, Father Duane, Grandparents Mel & Juanita Tadlock, Shirley (Jim) Carter-Gill, Mike (Glenda) Carter, Dennis & Geneva Fredricks, Aunts & Uncles Kim Tadlock, Becky (Scott) Hadaway, Nicole (Jim) Rauline, Crystal (Brad) Langston, Bonnie Sareeram, numerous Great Aunts & Uncles and numerous cousins. A celebration of her life is planned at First Baptist Church of Elk Grove on 01-30-10 at 2pm (8939 East Stockton Blvd. Elk Grove, CA, 95624). Please dress in your favorite Disney shirt (or casual). Law Enforcement and Military personnel are welcome to wear their uniform of the day. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Baylee Rose Tadlock Scholarship fund for Project Ride.

Blogiss interupptiss

Well have already slacked here, but i have a good excuse.......

when i think of one i'll let you know

i do have to warn you there will be no censorship on this post-the gloves are off, barbie is naked and anatomically correct-warts and all-yeah its been that sort of day

My camera is acting like a crack addict:

Give me my crack, i'll be good, i promise

new compact flash card-eaten

C'mon it was an accident. ill never do it again

new xd card-corrupted

it was an accident-really-i couldn't help it

another new xd card-hates me because it is evil and in cahoots with the crack addict

lets make a deal-anything! just give me another card

ok but im tired of reformatting after each time i download

i got your back-its a done deal

now the card won't even allow me to download onto my computer and when it does, because of all the dang reformatting, some photos are written over others

its not my fault. you should have been more specific

So after throwing many tantrums and crying on my laptop keys, i guess its time to put this little addict into rehab or i will end up in rehab

be back later this week to update on Scrap for a Cure kits, CHA and other fun stuff

Peace my friends

you might be a scrapbooker....

You might be a scrapbooker...

if your nails are painted more with paint than fingernail polish

if you've used your cropadile to punch holes in belts

when you look at clothes, you think "Hmmm that would make a cute patterned paper"

"im going scrappin" does not mean you are going to beat someone up

your camera is a prized possession

you have more patterned paper than you do clothes

when someone says celebrity you think of Ali Edwards before Brad Pitt

you write down the cute things your kids say

when your kid slips in the mud, you get a picture first then help him out

you get a paper cut once a day

a fun day out is a trip to the scrapbook store

And the biggest reason you might be a scrapbooker......

cashing in your scrap supplies could pay off your mortgage

Happy Thursday loves!

Blue Jean hell

Whatever happened to buying a pair of jeans?

All you needed was the size-that's it-

Now its short, medium, tall

straight, boot cut, fat cut, make your a** look good cut

hip, low-rise, high-rise, no rise, look out for flies

and the list continues

i must have tried on a thousand (that's right, a THOUSAND) pairs

how many did i buy?

One-and it is the loneliest number

so much for enjoying a day shopping

Hell i tell ya

poo on this im going to buy shoes

Read this today and thought I'd share.

Give, and you will have. Teach, and you will learn.

Listen, and you will be understood. Live with kindness, and kindness will live with you.

Respect, and you will be respected. Be truthful, and it will be nearly impossible for others to deceive you.

Keep a generous spirit, and your life will be filled with abundance. Seek to bring out the best in others, and they'll give you the best that they have.

Give your genuine encouragement to those who thirst for it most, and you'll be encouraged beyond all measure. Speak positively of your world, and your world will be a rich and fulfilling place.

The world you influence with your thoughts, words and actions is the world in which you live. Always be your best, and that world is a great place to be.

-- Ralph Marston

Getting ready for CHA!!!! & EXPO!!! & Ft. Lauderdale &.....

I can't wait for all the upcoming activities I have planned for the next 3 months but man! am I overwhelmed right now! CHA is our craft and hobby association show, the biggest of the year down in Anaheim (in case you aren't a scrappy friend and have no idea what Im talking about) Thanks to Miss Dee, my guardian angel, the kids are well taken care of but Im still trying to make it as easy as possible for her. Next we head to Ft. Lauderdale for Jim's military rugby reunion and im hoping to meet a couple of my buddies there but what a whirlwind trip that will be. Next is Scrapbook Expo in Pleasanton March 18 & 19 and i will be teaching 2 classes but must have everything prepped and ready with instructions, color photos and samples done very soon! Plus all the ordering Diana and I have to figure out for the show. i also have something in the works that ive wanted to do but finally tried for and will announce next week when i know if im accepted or not and thats in march as well. so lots coming up but fun things that im looking forward to-why not start the new year off with a bang? and much rambling
