registration is open!

I am so excited.. I just got an email from stacy julian telling me that my class is UP and ready for registration on Big Picture Scrapbooking!  I am just sitting here, working on part of the “welcome package” that students will receive the end of January… I am creating a bunch of cool exclusive product for this class… I saw a bit of it today even… prototypes. It’s a thrill… I have been working on the monthly pages, challenges and ideas, and it just makes me happy. Gives me so much to think about. If you go to bigpicturescrapbooking.com, you can read the rather-long class description and you can also download an 11minute thing that I recorded to try to explain what the ‘year to remember class’ will be about. I am excited that it’s up finally…we have been working very hard to get all the ‘logistics’ worked out. students will receive 4 different packages throughout the year, with different products and surprises… originally we weren’t going to limit the number of participants that we were allowing… but since we are providing ‘kits’ and we will be sending stuff out, we had to pick a number- so there is a cap.

Other than that… lots going on around here… parent teacher conferences this week… it was fun to talk to the teachers about the kids. My kids LOVE school…and I am SO glad!
My running shoes are awesome and making a BIG difference in my training! I am running in the mornings, and doing a short afternoon/evening walk with the kids riding their bikes, and giving Capri stroller rides. The temps in AZ this time of year are devine.
It’s Colton’s 9th b-day this weekend, and to celebrate we are taking a bunch of kids to the drive-in to see ‘open season’…it’s the 2nd annual drive-in birthday party! So much fun. I love going to the drive-in. I totally remember doing that when I was little. We would get dressed in our pajamas and take sleeping bags and pillows, and my dad let us watch the movie on the roof of the station wagon.  You pay by the car-load and you can bring in outside food. It’s perfect. colton is excited. Capri is totally ‘cooing’. It’s the sweetest thing to listen to, to have little conversations with her.  She is growing too fast. And I am NOT taking enough photos. You’d think I would be better at that.  Ok, it’s 11:15 and I have to get up EARLY if I want to get a run in. I had a short this morning, so tomorrow I am bumping up my mileage just a bit.  I am trying to remind myself that muscle weighs more than fat as I am not seeing any results on the scales. (not feeling results in the clothing department either)… this month has flown by. I need to go pick out a Halloween costume tomorrow. I want to be something SCARY!  Also, tomorrow- we have our first official ‘creative escape 2007’ meeting with the ‘executive committee’ over at Bazzill. (already!?) already we have so many ways that we are going to improve for next year, starting to detail the class categories and starting to get the teacher line up in place. –all top secret for now!
Ok- seriously, good night.
