I did it!!!

I can't believe that I'm admitting this, but this morning I sent off an entry for the Memory Makers Masters contest!! ACK!!! I have never entered anything of this magnitude before! Even if I don't win or get a runner up spot, I am proud that I challenged myself to do this!! I got 5 great layouts out of this that I am very happy with! I'm not stressed about it either, I feel peaceful, maybe that will change once the date of notification gets closer! At least I will be away on vacation for part of it, so that will take my mind off of it!! Sooo, wish me luck!

Went to CKC with Mimi today. We had a nice time. The vendor faire was okay, they usually don't have much more than what we already have, which is good on the pocketbook! I did manage to snag some of the new Basic Grey lines, which was cool!

We went to the usual Bahama Breeze afterwards and then headed to see Hairspray.

What a fabulous movie!!! Very funny, laughed throughout the whole thing! Had to love John Travolta as a woman!! I'm seeing lots of awards for it!!

I'm pooped! Had to get up early everyday this week! Can't wait to sleep in tomorrow!! I think Chris and I are going to cap off the night with a movie now!!

Good luck on MMM! I tossed around the idea but didn't have time to get an entry together.

You've won for just getting it in, seriously. :)

Hi Rachael! Just wanted to post a comment to answer your question: yes, the layout is stamped for the background. I actually used two different types of stamps - both journaling rectangles (looks like lined school paper) and just went to town, stamping this way and that. Thanks for all your great comments on my blog, by the way! You totally brighten up my day with them!

Good luck to you! Loved Hairspray too, saw it this afternoon. BTW, anytime you want to come work for me I'll be happy to let you take a week or so, that'll take those "miss my job" feelings right back away.
