2 weeks in the life

phew again...I cannot seem to get in a posting rhythm. I would like to be able to post and update every couple of days but again it has been busy....Lets see what have I been up 2....

Finishing instructions for my 2 classes at MegaMeet. I need a nice sunny day so I can get some good pictures of each page.
Actually scrapping my own pictures by taking over my small scrap space at Pat's house and his dining room table. Opening day for little league..
A little indoor knee hockey while it was raining out.
Taking the fur baby to training.
And oh yeah 3 birthdays in the matter of three weeks....My son's this past Sunday, Pat's this Sunday, and my daughter's next Sunday. Oh and toss in kitting 300 class kits for Mega Meet, a dress rehearsal tonight, recital tomorrow for my daughter, mother's day, and a surgery consult for my knee. Hope you enjoyed my fun pics from the past weeks. PS. you can see how overcast and rainy it has been in Michigan...we need some warmth and sun.

Have a great day, Hailey

wow.....what a busy time of year

seriously hello Nov 24th. where has the month gone. I have been busy gathering supplies for my Dec Daily album class this Sunday. i think there might be 2 lucky spots still available. We have been scraping together supplies since Mistletoe is no longer available from Making Memories. It has been challenging but I think we've got everything (as long as my box of word fetti arrives on time)

Anyway here are some pictures for the Nov BGPOTM. Which is also on Sunday.

Fun with Suze

hello there.....Well Suze came in for a visit and to teach classes this past weekend. We had a blast. Click on the link to her blog on my side bar for more hiliarous pics and melt art fun. We of course shopped and ate sushi while she was in town. PS - Do you like my globes? They double as piggy banks too.

Photo cred...the wonderful super fun Suze Weinberg!

vegas mini

here is a super cute vegas mini I made. I make making 2 more for the other 2 couples that went with us. Hope they like it!

PS - The picture behind the letter "V" on the cover is the view from our room. I love how it turned out. Also I kept those "coupons" and free little books that are passed out all over. They have great little pieces that can be cut out and used to embellish the pages. I used names of streets, clubs, restaurants, maps etc.

Dear Cosmo Cricket,

Please pick me.

From, Hailey AKA the minibook mama

Here are some more "favorites" from my man-ly coworkers :)

Please look down at my older posts, some feature Cosmo Cricket in simpler designed layouts and mini's.

some of my best work...

WHAT....how does someone pick their best work....I had a hard time so I had some coworkers help. PS - I work with almost all men so this was a challenge :) Here are a couple more mini-books (they are slowly taking over bookcases across michigan).

Also, my office does not make for spectacular photo studio, so please bare with me...hehe.

Please look down at more layouts with Cosmo Cricket products.

seriously 30 people....

ok so I went into the store last night ( http://www.scrappychiclivonia.com ) to teach my class (grungeboard quilt) and looked at the sign up sheet for my upcoming class and WHAT 19 people signed up 1 with a question about a kit, 5 kits for ladies in Grand Rapids (2.5 hour drive from the store) and 4 more that cannot come to the class but want a kit. I was soooooooooooooooooooooo excited. Well I must thank Cosmo Cricket for designing such super cute paper (a little suck up since I am trying out for the design team) but I guess the recipe book must be pretty cool too.....here are a few picks. I will be ordering more stuff for the kits as the order coming in today will not fulfill the new wave of kits so if you are interested check out the kit in my etsy shop!

PS - It will come with a PDF with about 40+ recipes from our swap so you can use them too.

I will also email the recipe template with sample recipes when you purchase the kit. The kit will include all the paper needed to create the book as well as coordinating stickers and ribbon to embellish the book. The book also has 20 page protectors for the recipes. Color instructions for each page can be emailed or sent with the kit.

wow...it's been a week

wow. I cant believe it has been a week since my last post. I have been busy working on samples for megameet. I am putting together a super cute mini book with the lil man papers and so far it is just missing pictures and finishing touches. I also made a paper ephemera box with the Graphic 45 transatlantique line. Which is almost done as well. I think I have A.D.D. when I work on projects. I will start one, and in the middle of it I will get an "ah ha moment" of the next one and must stop to get the next one going.

I am also busy making samples for my "Fun with Alcohol Ink" class that I am hoping to get on the schedule Sunday May 31st.


I will leave you with a few pics....One of the almost finished box and one of my daughter posing for the wrong camera. I now know I watch to much of "E" news when my kids are playing movie star and paparazzi when I peeked in on them.





Convention info is below...those Michiganders stop by and say "hi", I will be in the booth Saturday.





Scrappy Chic http://www.scrappychiclivonia.com/ will have a booth with LYB, G45, Cosmo Cricket, and Clip it Up. The show starts May 7th-9th.

ttyl, Hailey
