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

April 13th

well I cannot believe sometimes how quick the time passes by. I have been sewing like made happily making cute things for some custom orders. I have been trying to actually scrapbook for myself to get my passion and creative juices going again.....viola they are back. I managed to finish my album from my birthday trip to Paris. Which I got a little teary eyed looking at it. I love it and I am done with it. Now on to bigger and better things. I am revamping my old website and merging it with my new domain www.haileymann.com Here I will have a set up to sell my canvas wall hangings, sewing projects, and all things crafty or misc.

have a great day, Hailey

Kim's Tote

don't you just love the pups....

hello mixed media students

hello everyone,

I have been waiting for some nice weather so I can take so good photos of the CAFE' mixed media book we made last weekend. The pictures I took in the basement are very dark. Today looks like it will be really nice day for pictures so I should have my blog updated about 9pm after the kidos hit the sheets....

Also those of you interested in a custom tote cover please email me with the measurements and picture of your tote bag :)

have a great day, Hailey

a tote for nancy :)

Hi Nancy,

Here is the material I picked up today.....Do you like it? If so please let me know 2 of the 4 other fabrics you would like for the accent colors :)

Ok....I finally had time to whip up your bag. I hope you like it. My friend kim is here and I made her one too....She loves yours as well.....I hope you like it too.

I took the picture with my cell phone cause my good camera is out on loan :)

some new material....

well we made it back from one frozen tundra to arrive in another....wtf.....there was an insane amount of snow in breckenridge. it took us 3 hours to get to breck from denver and 5 hours to get back to denver....ps it is only 87 miles, so that will tell you how crazy the weather was.....

But none the less I came back with some amazing new material for a wonderful little mini album.

Have a great day (or night), Hailey

Mega Meet here we come....

hello everyone,

I am very excited that both of our class submissions we accepted for Great Lakes Mega Meet. Those of you in the Tri-State area and Canada already know that this is the largest and best Scrapbook Expo that comes around. This year Tim Holtz is even teaching some classes.....

So in a three day span I will teach 300 people....very exhausting and awesome at the same time. 2 years ago at CKC Ft. Lauderdale, I taught 600 people so I am looking forward to only 2 classes per day so I can enjoy the show and talk to some more of my crafty peeps. Teaching is definitely my passion second to creating fun projects. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones :)

Hurry up and register to be notified as soon as classes open up. Typically they sell out on the first or second day of registration. Click on the link above to go to the mega meet site.

I will also be teaching some additional classes exclusive to Scrappy Chic at the store the same weekend.....keep an eye out in their newsletter for the class description and times.....

Have a great day, Hailey
