Modular Mates

Finally....I got my modular mates. Now it's time to put them to work. Here's my cabinet before.



Here is all the stuff that came out of the top 2 shelves....
I had to get rid of some things that had gotten shoved to the back and were hard as a rock!! Here's what's left......


now my new cabinet!!!!!


On the middle shelf there, the large one has all the crackers, the medium one has all the candy, and the small one has other snacks....dried fruit and Little Debbie cakes
The top shelf....the medium one has 2 packages of marshmallows...the other 2 are EMPTY right now!!! And look at how much space is around them!
This is so great, I love it!!
BTW I'm taking orders for Tupperware until March 12 2009, contact me if you'd like to place an order!!

So I've been waiting to post until I got my Tupperware in, but it still hasn't come yet. When it does I'll put up my before and after pictures. I cannot wait!!!

My friend Samantha is starting up a new Hostess club for Stampin' Up! She has 10 spots (some are already filled) and what you do is commit to purchasing $15 worth of product every month. When it's your turn to be hostess, you get to enjoy the hostess benefits. And if you have a party on your month, or get friends to order, you could get even MORE benefits. And who COULDN'T spend $15 a month? For more details go to Samantha's blog, or follow this link. http://thescrapmaster.blogspot.com/2009/02/hostess-club-round-3.html It really is a great deal!!

I still have a couple spots open for my Stamp-A-Stack on Saturday March 28 from 1-4. This would be a great time to come and make some of your own cards. I know myself I need some more Birthday and Thank you cards. I'm always using those and it's so great to have some on my desk instead of having to try to get to the store. Plus it's handmade and that makes it more personal. Let me know if you want to come for sure so there will be enough supplies for everyone.

Keep watching for the Tupperware update....oh, and think of me, if you don't mind. I see that new neurologist this Thursday. I'd love to get some answers even if they're not good....it's the not knowing that drives you crazy.

tupper stamping news

Friday the 13th went pretty well, only the toaster broke, and that was evened out by the candy, cake, donuts, and flowers I got...needless to say I won't be able to count this Friday on my eWellness program! A typical Saturday has begun....I'm doing laundry while playing on the computer.

So, I'm going to have a stamp a stack at my house on Saturday March 28 from 1-4, let me know if you are interested in coming so enough supplies will be cut out ready and waiting for you. It's a typical one...we'll be making 12 cards for $15....at only $1.25 per card that's cheaper than the stores. This is a great time to come and bring a friend...it's Sale-A-bration, and that means IF you wanted to purchase anything, for every $50 that you spend you get to pick something out of the Sale-A-Bration catalog for free. Click on your left over here on one of Samantha's links to see that catalog or the new Spring catalog.

Many of you know I've been going back and forth about whether or not to sell Tupperware. I think I'm leaning more heavily towards yes. There are a few more questions I want answered before I finally take the plunge. I'd just be doing it for fun, I'm not looking to be a director or anything. Just hang out with my friends at parties or meet new people who want to have the parties. I'd love to have your opinion on it, so leave me a comment, you might come up with something I hadn't thought about yet.

Now a little bit about the library...we were told yesterday that the county is going to start controlling the thermostats 100% and they are going to set them on 68 for the winter and 75 for the summer. Doesn't sound bad right....huh!! That library is so weird. If you put the thermostat on 74 sometimes you feel just right and sometimes you're wishing you could strip down! And if you put it on 70 you have to pull out your space heater...and they want to put it on 68!!! Most of you know enough about FM by now to know that being cold is my biggest trigger. I just sieze up, can't move well, my muscles feel like rocks and that hurts SOOOOOO much. If they really go through with this and we really can't change it within a couple degrees, I'm in big trouble. As it is I've had to wear cuddle duds to work some days 'cause of the odd temp changes in there. I'm a little (no, a lot) worried about this, but at least I've got til next year to worry about it....I hope. He didn't say they were doing it right now.

Other than that, things are going well in the library. The kids are getting excited about getting to vote for the Volunteer State Book Award, and we're going to try another group of Librarians in Training with new guidelines. I'm looking forward to seeing how that goes.

Time to change out the loads.....have a great Valentines day everyone!!

this evening's adventures

so when I got home from work it was violently pouring down rain, and the cover to the hot tub had half blown off. So I had to go out in the wind and rain to get it put down. I was not out there but 1 minute, and I was so wet I even had to change my skivvies! Then it all blows over, so we can go to Bible study no problem. Nice study...should be able to come back home to relax right? HA! We come in the door and Charley has knocked over the garbage can. He has eaten my left over pepperoni, part of a paper plate, and Lord knows what else! He's never done that before. Oh the joys of parenthood. Here's hoping tomorrow is nice and calm!

Welcome

Here it is my first blog. You never know what you'll find here. I'm a "young adult" librarian who loves to stamp my own greeting cards, scrapbook, and Tupperware. I might be talking about a new stamp set, my latest scrapbook project, a book I'm reading, or what interesting thing happened at work that day. Then there's my husband and my little "boy"...a not-so-bright German Shepard named Charley, who, BTW, ate a dead moth this morning. I have Fibromyalgia and arthritis and migraines and I learn something new about myself, my capabilities and my limitations all the time.

Feel free to ask questions and post comments...just be nice. This place is a happy, peaceful, respite from the real world....except when I rant ;>). Hopefully that won't be too often.

Have a great day, and if I'm not back before then, a great Valentine's weekend.
