Here's to maintaining some self-respect and sanity while tending to the growth and maturation of young minds, including your own young mind. Here's to recognizing that it isn't necessary to know how everything is going to turn out in advance, and that often Life has much better in store than one can imagine. Here's to hope and happiness even when Life gets complicated, especially then... That's when it's needed it most.

...afterall, the car may only seat seven but room for friends is unlimited...

A major award!

No. Really!

I got some fantastic news yesterday afternoon. I am an "Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator". I love it. It is the pinch of sanity in my life on nearly-unbearable days. Demonstrators can send in things that they've created with Stampin' Up! products and each month Stampin' Up! chooses 1 winner in 4 pre-selected categories. I was one of the winners for the month of June! I'm excited to see my project in the quarterly magazine, and interested to see if we can come up with a good photo of me to be printed with it. D says he is up to this challenge. He says he'll even photohsop me to my heart's content. You know, even my skin tone, whiten my teeth, take off a few pounds. Whatever I want. Nice to have a Photoshop guru in the house.

These are the last couple of days of Stampin' Up's year - a new catalog will be coming out soon. I will be able to choose any 3 sets from the catalog. I'm very interested to see what's new because they retired so much this year. How exciting!
