I Did It!

I cut my hair!! Short I might add. I love it. Not sure what Bryan is going to think. I came straight from the hair dressers to work.
I felt the baby flutter 2 days ago. Kinda took me off guard, I was not expecting it. I was 20 weeks before I felt Faith, and they were more like hard kicks.
It is freezing outside! It snowed a little tiny bit last night. Enough to cover the ground a make a icy mess! I bought long johns today! If I get cold Im gonna slip them on for sure! Maternity pants are not real warm, not like EMS pants!
Over last week I finished 12 LO's. It's the first time I scrapped for myself in a while. Now I have been doing cross stitch for my mom. It's a blanket she bought a couple of years ago. It's been in my trunk forever, she reminded me about it. I hope to finish it soon.
Gotta go!

Restless Night ~

Which made a perfect time to think and reflect. I don't know if it's pregnancy hormones or what, but I have to admit this. I have not been real nice to my stepdaughter lately. I don't know why. She's 9 and for the most part is a good kid.. We have had our issues..lying, taking snacks without asking, talking back, and especially to her father ~ being disrespectful.
I know she's having issues at home, apparently her Mom and stepdad are not getting along again. Some of the story I believe , but she makes things up and embellishes things so the jury is still out. I keep telling my husband not to believe all the kid says.
I am trying hard to instill in her some kind of values. I am afraid that she will grow up to be this spoiled, self absorbed person. Is this just kid behavior she will outgrow or a product of her enviroment at home? She is spoiled at home and has no real responsibilities at home. When she does not do homework, her Mom will let her do it in the morning before school, She constantly looses or leaves things behind. Am I asking too much of an almost 10 year old??

SO my question is, How do I fix it?? I Love her like she is my own. I'm just afraid that it's not good enough.

It's Official..

Here is what was posted on the Kreative Kropper's MB
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2007 18:41:53 -0700
From: Bobby Lawrence

We had hoped to be able to send a mass email to all Leaving Prints
Instructors to provide a complete update regarding the status of the
company and our latest efforts to save it.

We realize our sparse communication to the field has been frustrating.
By way of explanation, we were generally quiet simply because we were
short handed and it appeared we were on the verge of a new deal which
took our focus, time and energy, and for which we hoped and had good
reason to hope that at any moment we would be able to relay great news.

At this point in order for us to send a mass email we need special
assistance from our software company. They are not real responsive right
now, however, since you and others deserve to know directly from the
source what is going on, we are sending you this email.

Until yesterday, as referenced above, we had strong hopes that we would
yet be able to resurrect the company. Bobby has worked tirelessly to do
so. Unfortunately, it now appears clear such is not possible.

The only thing we can do now is to clarify that indeed, despite our best
efforts, even second and third efforts, Leaving Prints is going out of
business. We are truly sorry things didn't work out differently. We had
such good product, programs and people. We take some solace in having
met and gotten to know you and to know that God's view is bigger and
broader than ours and hopefully good has come of our association.

It was always a pleasure working with you and virtually all Leaving
Prints Instructors. We know you have great personal potential. We wish
you our best.

This email site will soon be taken down. Please accept this as our final
communication out. If you need to contact us, please do so in writing at
PO Box 970939 Orem Utah 84097. Returned packages are not accepted at
this site.

Sincerely,


Bobby @ Leaving Prints

PS-feel free to forward this email to other Leaving Prints Instructors
whom you know personally.

It's about time is all I have to say..Maybe if they DID keep better communication with us, we would not have jumped ship.

Oh Scrappy Day!

I have been a scrapping feign today! I like that I can scrap to my hearts content. I'm trying to get some of Christmas 2005 finished. I finished up a winter LO from 2005 last night. I fell like I'm back in the swing of things. I have not scrapped personal stuff since Simply Cropping in the Summer. That's a long time!
Hope everyone has a scrappy day!

Feeling Sad

I've been all over the internet looking up my Leaving Prints friends..all have gone their separate ways..I talked to a friend I made from leadership. Brenda is her name and she is such a hoot! She is going to CTMH along with her friend Sarita.
I'm sad..we were a family at Leaving Prints. Now, we are torn apart. LP has certainly not gone out with style. I feel that we were mislead and lied to. I know many of us feel this way, especially since we never received final conformation that indeed LP was closing. A picture of the sign on the corporate door saying "out of business". It was taken by a fellow instructor.
The only thing I can do today is move on. I hope to join TLC soon. I am looking forward to the change. The new friends I will make, the bigger and better business model I have to follow..things will only get better for sure.

Hey All,

My parents left for their cruise this morning. I hope they enjoy themselves. It's a much needed vacation for them. They have had a bad year. I only hope that 2007 is better for everyone.

I have been on this computer for about a half hour trying to upload a photo of my baby's ultrasound without luck. dang dial up is all I have to say about it. I wish my dad would come out of the dark ages! I'd even pay for it!! LOL

Faith and I had a jammie day today. Last night I had a bout of something. I had such a bad stomach cramps, that today my stomach is sore. I have noticed since being preggo I have been getting everything that comes down the pike. I am happy to report after taking a nap on the couch I am feeling better.

I am patiently waiting for my friend's Sue's website to get back on line so I can sign up with TLC. It's been down for the last few days, she doesn't even know why. I am going to weigh my options and when Bryan and I finally get a place of our own I may have to join my friend Sunny's team at taste of Home Entertaining. It is a new company that sells cookware, culetry , platters and more for the home entertainer. Sounds very interesting if you ask me. I could always do both.
Check out Sunny's site here..http://833063sk.tohe.com/1/default.aspx
Let me know what you think..

I am not use to writing 2007 yet..it's funny when the year changes how often we forget to write the right year!
I am working the Rescue Squad today..not much going on. I am bored,it's not that I dont have things I could be doing..I do, I just dont want to.It's that kind of day. I have been getting these headaches lately that have been zapping me of most of my energy. I dont know if its pregnancy related or it's from my sinuses. I just wish they would stop.
I am excited about the changes coming in my life. For one, the new baby..it's finally sinking in that I am back to baby bottles, more diapers, and getting up in the middle of the night. But I know its worth every minute of it. I am so blessed to be having another child. I have Faith in God that all will work out for the better.
Another change is no more LP..I will hopefully be making the switch to TLC later this month. I jsut need to sell all this stuff I have to make some extra money for my new adventure! Wish me luck!

Happy New year!

I know, Im late..sorry about that.
I went to the baby doctor as faith calls him on thursday 1/4/07. I puked while I was there . Very not like me when I'm pregnant I have you know.. We heard the heart beat and I lost another 5 pounds. She was not concerned. She did give me an antibiotic as I have a sinus infection from the cold and another med for nausea which I am happy to report I did not fill cause I have not had any.
We cam home and I crawled into bed for the rest of the day with diarrhea. I'm back on the mend and feeling better. Gotta love those 24 hour bugs.
I am so happy to report that I will be joining my friends at TLC! They have a great promotion going on for those of us that transfer over. I can't wait to sign up!
Bryan may have a new job at the end of the month. It's great news but im not sure what we are going to do about the health insurance.. A little prayer and some guidance would be much appreciated..
It's now almost 2 am, I need to cuddle with my hubby before he goes off to sleep. We will talk later.
