Bows/headbands are around $1.00 each. If you want to just bring your own ribbon and buttons you can learn how to make them.

Walking/Jogging

So I am going to start walking/jogging on a trail out in Syracuse. It is right out by Syracuse Arts Academy. There is a part that is 3 miles that I am planning on doing. I will be going Monday and Fridays at 9 and Tuesday, Wed, Thursday at 9:10-9:15ish. Let me know if you want to come so I don't walk off without you. It is so nice right now in the morning that I want to take advantage and it is always more fun walking with someone then walking alone! APRIL that means you and anyone else that wants a little crazy in your morning routine.

Playgroup

Hello ladies,
Well, my little guy needs some playmates (mom is just too boring!) So I've decided to TRY to set up and organize a formal playgroup for the kids that are not yet in school.

Here is the info for the first playgroup.

When: Friday Sept 18
Time: 10:00
Where: Barlow Park

Bring a snack for your kids.

I'll try out Fridays and see if anyone can come. If not, then we can consider changing days for future playdates.

Also, Keep your calendars open for a special Halloween playgroup. Get those costumes ready!

This post is just for Stacy. If you know Stacy (and I think you do) this is her heaven on earth. Todd that I was a little crazy that I was taking this picture at the Denver Zoo, but I just had to. There you go Stacy. I thought of you even while in Denver.

I just had to share because I am super excited. I entered this scrap book page into a contest and WON!! Are there any other digital scrap bookers out there that want to swap secrets?

Weighty Matters

Does anyone have a very accurate scale that they wouldn't mind parting with for a day? I need to weigh my luggage before we head off to Switzerland so that we don't get hit with any surprise fees for our bags being to heavy. Just let me know and I can come by maybe tonight or tomorrow to pick it up. Thanks so much!

Help!

A couple of things...
1. We have some cherry tomatoes from our garden and many more are on their way! If anyone wants them, come get 'em!
2. I really want to know how "Pinching your Pennies" works! It is so confusing to me! They do classes, so if anyone else would like to join, we could call and get a class together OR if someone is already wise and learned about the coupon craze...will you teach me?
Ok that's it. Just some things on my mind.
