Lucky me, only three letters!
L-Late, I'm always running late. If you want me there on time, you should ask me to be there 1/2 hour early.

A-Anxious, really, I'm wound a bit tight

Now I'll tag melonscraps, melegs and Cindy

While perusing the message board, I found a post by aggiegirl which showed a magnetic frame use to store nestabilities dies from Cindy_Keery's blog Imagine. Dream. Create

Then today at Michaels I noticed a 12"x24" magnetic sheet for $10.50 and I thought YIPPEE! Next, I need a frame, larger frames were $30 plus, and I'd still have to trim down the magnetic sheet considerably. Then I turned the isle and saw 8x10 Magnetic frames like to put on the 'fridge for $1.99. Then I found cheap 8x10 frames 2/$5.00...so, here they are, 160 square inches of nestabilites storage for $7.00 (I used a coupon for the frames) 160" and I'm going to need it all, because I'm getting more of these babies at the convention!

Here's what I did: with the magnetic frame, I pulled off the clear sheets that makes the pocket of the frame, then I trimmed the magnetic sheet to 8x10 and assembled the frame: patterned paper, magnetic sheet (black side up), glass, frame backing. I couldn't have been easier. Thanks for the inspiration Jenn and Cindy!

This is my Christmas for my cousin Marilyn (aka melonscraps) She has promised not to look at my blog until after Christmas. I am a little concerned that it may be a bit plain, but I really hope she loves it because she is not only my cousin and scrapping partner, but my best friend and I love her.

This afternoon, my mom and I traded kids so they could shop for us. I was completely shocked when I saw my oldest, Bobby, walked into the store and ask, "Do you want to see a reindeer when you're done?" What? He led us across the parking lot to a wonderful display of two real-life reindeer! They were awesome. I hadn't seen one since I was a kid. Jinglebell and Frosty were truly beautiful animals!

Then, as we were leaving, Bobby asked, "Were they real?" I asked back, "Have you ever seen a fake reindeer take a whiz?" I think it worked for him.

PS: Just added to my Christmas list; a pet reindeer!

So..I've been tagged. Horay! I'll give you seven random facts, but I unfortunately don't know seven scrappy bloggers who haven't been tagged (or tagged twice) recently; so if you haven't, let me know and I'll tag you.

And my first tag: Sarah Ellis (CKMB: scrappy079)

Here are the random facts:
1. I wear a tiara when I scrapbook. Sometime I forget to take it off and the Bento place and the neighbors always ask if it's my birthday. You'd think they never saw a princess before! And I have a matching wand)

2. I have conversations with my dog and cats. They have distinct and unique opinions and speech patterns. I'd be happy to translate a convo between you and them, although Lilly doesn't often condescend to talk with mere humans.

3. Speaking of fur babies, my dog Freddie is a total Himbo. Pretty to look at, but not allot going on upstairs. Once, I opened up the big, noisy overhead garage door and whistled for him. He ran to the door across the garage and wagged his tail. The more I called, the harder he wagged. I had to tap him on the shoulder to let him know I was behind him. I'm surprised he can even balance his checkbook.

4. My kids are my nephews who came to live with me 4 1/2 years ago. Now it's official, they're with me forever.

5. I 'lurked' on the CKMB for a year before I posted.

6. My cousin melonscraps got me hooked on scrapbooking. I resisted at first saying that I heard it was expensive, but I couldn't fight the peer pressure. I consider scrapbooking an addiction which makes her my paper pusher. In fairness though, I did introduce her to the CKMB (I have only 71 post, she's already at 202!)

7. I could drink Limonata by the case!
