Well, we've spent the past two day putting together the wedding invitations. All 200 of them. They are beautiful. From Jennifer's hand calligraphy to the embossed addresses on the back...to the beautifully coordinated ribbon and the monogram stickers we made to seal the envelopements. The design and colors are just spectacular. My girls are amazing. Yes. I said it.
And another thing that is is amazing is my new toy: The XYRON. Okay all you scrapbookers out there are like, "yeah...you just discovered it?" Well you have to take into consideration that I started scrapbooking over 15 years ago way before it was such a craze. I never had all these amazing tools to use. I cut and designed my own papers and pages...used "Mrs. Grossman's stickers" and Creative Memories die cuts... And I'm not gonna lie...they were good- but now with the invention of the Cricut- which cuts paper with expert precision... well, my scrapbook designs pale in comparison. By the way...JoAnn's had the Cricut on sale last week and I got hooked up with an awesome deal...it was over half off! SCORE! Now I just have to find the time to learn how to use it. WOO HOO!
I was just telling someone that I have Jacob's entire life (in undeveloped film) in a brown paper bag in my photo drawer. Yeah...Pretty sure I need to get those developed before they stop using actual film and developing film becomes obsolete. I guess now is the time to cultivate a lost hobby. AFTER THE WEDDING, of course.
I've been busy the past few days dogsitting Jordanne and Dustin's pup, Jack. This dog has some serious separation anxiety, I swear I cannot go to the bathroom without him following me. I've slept on the couch the past two nights because he was wanting to be right by my side. This morning I crawled into my bed at 6 am (after Pat left for work) and both dogs jumped up on the bed. Old man Duke was interested in snoozing and Jack wanted to play. He ran out to grab a toy, and proceeded to flip it high on the bed, shake it like a psycho, pawed at it until I thought he was going to shred my comforter...so I grabbed the toy and threw it. Wrong decision. He thought we were playing fetch. Me and Duke were getting annoyed with this bundle of energy...we just wanted to get a few more hours of sleep. Needless to say, Jack finally succumbed to slumber and when I woke up...it looked as though it snowed in my bedroom. Some time while we were sleeping he tore up the stuffed animal and left snowballs of stuffing all over the floor. Sigh. Oh Jack...you're so darned cute I couldn't even get mad. Even though I am sleep deprived.

I hear you on the scrapbooking changes...I would be clueless. We're looking for a new dog...sometimes I think adopting a young dog over started with a puppy might be good for our sanity. :o)
