MARVELOUS MONDAY

  

Look at the haul that Nita and Grandma Linda got at the Hot Pink Spring Sale!  They had to have boxes to carry it out in!

 First off....al of that paper spread out on the tables is what they purchased. 

They stayed after they made their purchases and made kits from their bargain purchases.

I know Cat enjoyed their visit since we don't get to see them very often.

Check out all of the beautiful ribbons that the FedEx guy brought to the store.  I can't wait to see this in person...might have to buy some of this colorful stuff!

Check out this beautiful layout that Valerie created in memory of her Great Dane that passed away.

 

 On this page of the layout she put some photos of the dog with the rest of the family - with her, with Doyle, and with the other furry members of the family!  Such a wonderful way to remember those beloved furry members of our family.  They are such a part of our lives and it is so hard when they leave us. 

Butch was able to finally get my anti virus stuff updated on my computer this morning.  We had to finally stop the process and start over.  Computers....can't live with them and can't live without them.  LOL!

UPDATING COMPUTER

Something that was supposed to be a quick install has turned into several hours and still isn't complete.  Renewing my Norton Anti-virus tonight and for some reason it is taking FOREVER.

  I hope you were able to take advantage of the Pink Spring Sale.  Several did and some walked out with whole boxes full of bargains!  I will share photos tomorrow when my computer is virus proofed!  

DO YOU FANCY SOME NEW PRODUCT?

Chalkboard is all the rage right now and Fancy Pants has given us some wonderful decorative edged chalkboard tape.  It comes in two widths and three decorative edges:  scalloped, pinked, and brackets.  Yes, I had to purchase some of this loveliness on Tuesday when I checked it all in.  I think it will be great on layouts as is and maybe with some washi tape running down the middle of it.  Lots of possibilities!

"As You Wish" is just that:  A collection that you can use for just about anything you wish.  It will work for travel, family, just about anything.  It has some wonderful vintage papers and bright colors.

That map is great for travel layouts, but the florals and quilt designs will work great for anything.  Like the name implies: Use this collection "As you Wish".

Buttons, tags, and photo frames for this collection. 

More of the embellishments for this collection.

Tons of embellishments - anything you can think of.

LOVE the ticket rolls that Fancy Pants has for all of their collections.

"Be Yourself" is a wonderful collection for the boys in your life.  It has greens, navy, and reds, along with fantastic artwork.

The rest of the papers in this collection.  Just love the colors they used.

Some of the wonderful embellishments that coordinate.

Flair buttons and ticket rolls are some of my favorite embellishments.

Nautical is a wonderful collection for your by the seashore layouts.  

Love the ephemera packs, flair buttons, and button packs for this collection.

Check out the ticket rolls and tags that come in two sizes--YUMMY!

Of course, there are 6 x 6 pads for each of the collections.

Check out this collection for those tea party photos---FUN!

APRIL IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER

It is hard to believe, but April is less than a week away.  Time DOES fly when you are having fun.  And there is lots of fun to be had at Cat's during the month of April.

There will be lots of cropping fun on Saturday, April 5th.  Call now to reserve your spot for a fun-filled Saturday.

 Saturday, April 12th, will be another one of Nanci's fabulous tag classes.  Everyone at the Crop Around the Clock event got to make one of Nanci's tags.  They are lots of fun and you learn so many techniques.  Call and reserve your spot now so that you can create these fabulous tags.

April 19th will be a Mom and Me crop.  So grab your Mom/daughter and spend the day together cropping.  These crops are usually quite popular, so reserve your spot now.

On April 26th, Sandy Trefger will be teaching her VERY popular album in a box class.  You pick the papers that you want to use and create a gorgeous boxed album.  Call NOW to reserve a place in this class. 

Yes, April is going to be a fun-filled month at Cat's!

MEMORIES FROM OUR CROP AROUND THE CLOCK EVENT

Thanks to my computer guru son, my computer is working again.  For some unknown reason, the synaptic pad (mouse on a laptop) has quit working.  So, I thought my computer was freezing and it was only the fact that the mouse wasn't working.  WHEW!  Easy, inexpensive fix - just get a regular mouse and use it!  YEAH!!!!!

 The second day of our "Cropping Around the Clock" began with me teaching this layout featuring Bazzill cardstock and Little Yellow Bicycle paper.

Then Nanci taught a tag class to all of the attendees.  Some of us take Nanci's tag classes every month, but to others this was a new experience.

Everyone loved the beautiful colors she used on this tag.

Nanci quickly created the tag....

it took us all a LOT longer to create our tags!  LOL!

 Cat got to create one of the tags - isn't it beautiful!!!

After another layout class, Cat taught everyone some mixed media techniques using the "Creative Palette" by Stampendous.  Check out those bright colors!

She showed us how to use a paper towel with the Creative Palette and then use it on our project.

Vickie and Patrice were having a great time chair dancing to the music!

Kourtneigh arrived Saturday all decked out in a poodle skirt she made for our "Crop around the Clock" event.

She even came up with a new use for the 45's that Patrice gave us.  LOVE that pony tail holder!

Patrice arrived on Saturday wearing this cool jacket of her son's.  LOVE it!

Everyone enjoyed the root beer/coke floats.  Brought back lots of memories.  It had been years since many of us had enjoyed one of these frozen treats.

We all had a fantastic time and look forward to the next 2 day event!

COMPUTER PROBLEMS

I'm having some problems with my computer, so I won't be able to do a blog post.  Hoping to resolve the issues tomorrow.

FUN TIMES AT CAT'S

Anna O'Day had a very special birthday Saturday. She was celebrating with us at the 2-day class marathon event. She got a very special surprise from her sweet hubby. It was so much fun. He did good!

 

He was sneaking behind her as she talked to Denise Case totally unaware that he was behind her.

Look at the shock on her face!  It was priceless.

Roses AND a gift!  Anna was thrilled and so surprised.

 

Birthday roses and kiss!

 OOOHHH!!!  PRETTY!!!!!  

 

He gave her a beautiful, aquamarine (her birthstone) tennis bracelet.  Sparkly and beautiful.

We had so much fun singing happy birthday to Anna numerous times during the day.

But the most fun was seeing the shock and delight on her face when Bob surprised her!

PRICELESS!

Anna creates beautiful layouts and I can't wait to see the one she creates about this birthday surprise.

WE ARE CROPPING AROUND THE CLOCK

 We started cropping around the clock tonight at 7:00 pm.

Nanci did a "pole plank" while helping Cat hang a 50's sign.

Hamburgers from Dairy Mart were served on plates topped with vintage 45's.

Chatting around the pole instead of cropping around the clock.  LOL!

Patrice and Nanci enjoyed themselves while cropping round the clodk.  Check out the cool shirt Nanci borrowed from her son. 

 I taught the first class, which involved using a divided page protector to add a mini album to a page.

 Kourtneigh joined us for the 50's cropping fun. So glad she could join in on the fun.

Pam Crawford was really paying attention during class.

 

 Vickie Robbins was trying to stay out of trouble.

 Joyce Woodhead was paying close attention to the instructions.

Sandra was making sure she got the right paper.

Valerie listening and planning for the class that she will teach.

And the second group shot.  Cat and Kourtneigh took turns taking pictures.
