More of CKC pics and adventures

Me and DD after lunch at Red Robin The yummo bean dip , salsa and chips at Serranos for dinner Saturday
DD mad cause her phone dropped in the toilet before class at Convention and we couldn't find two verizon stores that were program in garmin but then we got in van after this.
and brought back this.. Now she is smiles and in communication with the world once again.
We don't look like Vanna but here is some of the scrappy shopping loaded up and there is some in the seat as well loaded up there.. and there is a well were the seat folds into that is full LOL.
There was five people in all fairness not to mention Friday's shopping was at the house already..
Now to use the stuff... that's another story... more to come.

We Went to the CKC in Az Quick and Fast Recap

Lunch after Hobby Lobby and Arriving to Az Breakfast before convention on Saturday a.m.
Amanda and Kristi shopping at Cracker Barrel
This yummy display of cupcake goodness.. So cute everything was just got a couple things did not go overboard... I have had this fetish for Cupcake paper and cupcake stamps etc for a bit I use to make cupcakes a lot when Amanda was little.. They had so many cute things
Teresa in class taking reading directions
More to follow but here is a slight recap

The weekend flew by so so quick.

We went to the Mesa CKC classes.. Not sure that I would load up on much as I did this time.. I certainly won't really be doing layout classes for me personally a couple reasons one is your not sure what paper your using so you dont' always bring the right photos if you predo the page you don't know which way or size your photo's are so I find that hard on me The projects are such are another thing.. I did enjoy the card class Pocket full of cards..

The Canvas class was great now I'm not afraid to use them. Here is some pics Recap of the weekend.. Fast and quick I tell ya I needed another day I'm dragging today.. Then in Two weeks National Scrapbook day going to Palm Desert Retreat... I hope to get mucho done there.

Happy Monday.

Happy Monday all.. I will get some pics up soon dunno what happen to the layouts in one post but I'll get something current up.. I just need some more coffee goodness.. Busy week getting ready for the Az convention.. The week will fly by...

Don't forget your Taxes are due 2morrow.. Good luck.. mine are ready to go.. Finally so first thing in a.m. I don't want to be a postal worker 2morrow yikes.

My coffee boy sometimes that's all it takes is a nice cup of coffee and a good friend to talk to and your troubles are gone for that time...

DD finally got her promotion officially today..Very proud of her.

Cards for Sale

but not by me...

April Hall has a new Etsy Store she is still in the works of setting it up...
Here is her blog she has a lot of cards there you can look at that may end up in the store

So hook it up to your blogs and go take a sneek peek.

Here is the replacement

Here is our replacement van... off the showroom floor into our parking structure.. I'm just still angry there is no need for this if we would not have been rear ended so needlessly... We are still arguing with the insurance because they don't think our inconvience is a big deal... We need to change everything over and switch insurance companies that will be a start.. At least there is wheels in the driveway for now... Onward and forward

Saturday

I don't know what happen on my last post.. I obviously am not a computer Scientist.. so..Oh well.
I'll repost some of the stuff later...
I can't belevie we're on the 5th day of april amazing...
Got a new Car last nite... Just another Van nothing Fancy smancy at this point I would be willing to have gone without one.. or maybe put a bumper sticker.. That says i'm insuranced by insurance Company name please don't hit me. We are changing insurance companies after 26 years.. Change is good they say... We have fought to just get what should be ours not to mention anything extra still has not been negotiated.. I'm drained this month because of it...
So when i get a chance.. I'll post a picture of it.. It's got extra in it.. leather seats I'm not a fan of you slip and slip.. At least I know have a CD player and DD loves the fact that there is a DVD player in the car..
So enough on that hoping to get Scrappyness done will post later

I've been swamped with all kinds of work and stuff

So I'd thought I'd have a cup with ya all.

Perfect for Javagirl

Is this not the cutest die you've ever seen well for Javagirl there is no other..

CAN I just say .....

Insurance is the worse to deal with I can't stand it.. I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown... First they say one thing then another.. You would think they would be accomodating see how I was rear ended..hmmmm.. well they have told us because it's the same insurance company that we will pay the deductible. They won't replace it with original parts no rental car till they say it's ok. So today hubby says we will stay and deal with them so at 7;30 he started and it's now 11:00 and we are still dealing with it.. Now for the health insurance we are dealing with so pretty much he is dealing with it cause they will literally have to lock me up... Now he goes to the dealer and they say ummm no it's illegal what they just did to you..He picks up the phone calls the insurance and says you are rail roading customer to preferred shops it's illegal they have a choice and the car is orignal and we will replace with orignal parts he gave three people name and some illegal penal deals and they said oh we just misunderstood how about that Also they changed their tune after my husband told them the lawyer told us we are not liable for the deductible since we have full coverage etc.. it's to funny how they said we must have talk to the wrong people.. Now everything is changing on how we misunderstood .. We DIDN'T MISUNDERSTAND.. they even said it's a conflict of interest cause they have the same insurance we do... on the phone.. So now we are keeping a log of who , what and when we are dealing and talking with.. I'm sure they will total the car which is gonna make me more mad... will see.. stay tuned for more wonderful drama with the insurance Company..
HAPPY MONDAY.

Happy Easter Everyone

Hope you all enjoy family time and have a great Easter... to you all...
