We had great fun at the stamp a stack Saturday. Samantha was great and taught us new techniques that none of us had done before on each card. I was going to post pics of the cards, but why do something that someone else has already done....check out Samantha's blog on it. http://thescrapmaster.blogspot.com/2009/03/1st-stamp-stack.html
I can't wait for the next one....and to get my next order. I'm gonna love make cards with Trendy Trees!! Don't worry I'll let you all know when the next one is so you can join us.
In Tupperware news, We have a great Mother's day set that's on sale for 40% off!! You get a very nice insulated lunch bag (bigger than those fold over kinds!) a 16oz tumbler with a seal to prevent spills and bugs, a crystal wave soup mug and a crystal wave microwaveable bowl...but you don't have to microwave, you can have a salad in it....all for only $30, YES only $30!! AND, it comes in a very coloful gift box. Yes it's great for mom, but I want one too...and I'm thinking of all the birthdays coming up....and what a fun, colorful way to go green and stop using all those zipper bags and throwaway containers. Check out my Tupperware website (link is to your left) for more great gift giving ideas.
I'm also getting ready to have my first in-home party and I can hardly wait, it should be great fun...I'm hoping to try a new recipe for it...warm & fruity rice pudding!! I also have a couple leads on possible fundraisers. I'm REALLY looking forward to that! Your group or organization gets to keep 40% of the profits right up front! And everybody loves Tupperware. Again, with everybody growing green and doing more stay at home cooking and entertaining, it's a great time to buy...and don't forget the lifetime guarantee on most products!
In the library...we have started a book club for staff. It was Leanne's idea. For our first one we are reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. I just bought my copy today. We are also 100% sure now that we are going to lose our secretary...but we are going to have to take on more work....hmmm, fewer people and more work. We just keep our heads above water with the three.....I don't know how this is going to work!

2nd in the county!!
At school we did this eWellness program for 8 weeks where we had to eat so many fruits, vegetables, drink so much water and have so many minutes of physical activity for each week. Our team came in 2nd for the physical activity challenge, and we each won a pair of shoes from the Runner's Market! Yay, us!!
In other news...Voting for the Volunteer State Book Award is coming up, so I'm trying to read about 20 books in less than a month....we'll see if I can do it! I'm looking forward to going to Nashville for that and hanging out with my Aunt and Uncle.
This weekend is my stamp-a-stack and I am SOOOO looking forward to it. I didn't have to do the designing or cutting out and I'll get to make a set for myself this time.....Yay!! I haven't gotten to stamp in a loooong time!
Tupperware has a Mother's Day set coming out on March 28th. I already have a sample and it is way cool....more about that later. I got a Blooming teapot for signing up, and I'm looking forward to getting to do a tea party for Tupperware. Contact me if that sounds like something for you!

I now sell Tupperware!!
Well, I did it! Last night I signed up to be a Tupperware consultant. I've been thinking about it for months and going back and forth on the issue. As Dale was sitting here explaining all about it, Ron said to just go ahead and do it!
Now I need your help! Spread the word...if you know anyone who wants some Tupperware, please direct them to my site. Even people out of the area can order on the site. Or if you would like to host a party and earn free products, just let me know. You can have a home party, an online party, or a catalog party.
AND...if you know anyone who needs a fundraiser, Tupperware fundraisers let you keep 40% of the profits!! This is great for a club, athletic group like a soccer team or cheerleading squad, or also an individual raising money for a mission trip. The new fundraiser catalog just came out and it has some great stuff in it and I love the new colors!! They have the servalier bowls that our moms and gramas have in brighter colors!
I'm excited. I'm really looking forward to meeting new people and hanging out with my friends at a home party. I like the whole idea of doing something so different like this.
BTW, I'm all better from the migraine incident. And, of course, nothing showed up on the EEG. But, at least we know there's nothing wrong with my brain (well, medically speaking) so I'm just not going to worry about these things anymore since there's obviously nothing that can be done about it.
It's spring break and I'm looking forward to scrapbooking, stamping, and hopefully having my first Tupperware party. SO....who wants to be first?

Migraine Saga
So someone pointed out that I hadn't posted anything new (this one's for you, worm), but there's not really anything new....except for the migraine from Hell.
Thursday I was scheduled for a sleep deprived EEG, that meant no bedtime meds, no morning meds and I had to get up at 2:30 am and stay up all day until my test that afternoon. I expected to be a little achy, but never expected one of the worst migraines in my life. I woke up with it about 1 am, and of course I can't take anything for it. I tried to go about the day as usual and do the mind over matter thing. I was on a field trip with the 8th grade science/energy bowl team for their competition. It took everything I had not to pass out or throw up during the rounds. Even the other teacher with us thought I was going to pass out just by looking at me. Finally I had to call my husband to come get me. We called the Drs. office thinking for sure I wouldn't be able to have the test, but they said to still come. At least I got to go in about an hour early.
The test itself wasn't bad except for the strobe light at the begining of it, and as soon as it was over I took my migraine meds, but by then I was so sick and it hurt so bad nothing was touching it, and I couldn't eat or drink for being sick. I had to take another pill a few hours later...you aren't allowed to have more than 2, I guess because of the heart issues it can cause. Friday I had to miss work 'cause it was like I was in slow motion and I couldn't read, look at the computer or the TV for more than about 2 minutes. There was no way it was safe for me to drive. I slept a good part of the day. Saturday I was still feeling the same way. There was still a little undercurrent of pain that had been there since Friday morning, but nothing like it had been. It wasn't until Saturday evening around 7 pm that I felt like I actually "woke up". This morning, Sunday, I'm just now feeling close to "normal". There's still this tiny bit of residual pain, and I still feel slow in my reactions, but I'm getting better.
I was hoping to start posting some of my stamping projects, but seeing as how I just lost 3 entire days out of my life, I'm once again behind. Maybe I'll have something for you over spring break.
If anyone has had similar experiences with their headaches and ever found any answers, please leave a comment here. I am so over this and all of the not knowing. I'm sick of seeing doctors and I'm sick of most of their attitudes. The one thing I want above all else, whether I get answers or not, is to never have another migraine in my whole life....really, is that too much to ask?
