Super Saturday



Ok so I told my Mom I was going to put this on. I was asked to do a Super Saturday project, about 2 months ago. I have always loved doing these projects but this time was a little harder because I wanted to keep the price down, and I knew that Super Saturday would be right after I had the baby. I would design the project but not actually be there to teach it. I have been to several scrapbooking classes with my Mom and her friend Karen. Some have been VERY nightmarish! Where we have been in the class for 4-6 hours trying to figure out the project on our own. And then there have been other classes, where the teacher was very prepared and had everything ready for us, and the projects were a breeze. I really wanted this to be that way! So I cut everything out to the size it was meant to be. And pre-made the tag, including puting the eyelet in (thanks for the crop-a-dile mom, I don't know if I would have done it with out that GREAT tool!) The only thing the ladies have to do is glue and put together! I also hate when I leave a class with an unfinished project...they tend to stay that way! I also have been to a class here in Louisville at Archiver's where they printed out these great instructions of how to put everything together, with pictures so you didn't always have to wait for the sample to come around. I quickly put them together too. I wanted the class to be very easy for whoever will be in my place. So there are lots of things I would probably change to the project, but I wanted to keep in under $5 (it's $3!!) I could have added so much but scrapbook stuff adds up really fast! I can't forget to thank Emma, she helped me put everything in baggies, she was actually a great help! I am also grateful for not knowing when this baby would come, so I couldn't procrastinate, and everything was done and ready to go almost 2 weeks before the project! I have vowed never to procrastinate again (yeah right!), but seriously it was not stressful, like it usually is. So anyway I am blabbing on...just wanted to share!

I love the project- I forgot how cute those pictures were of Emma when she was so tiny. I bet everyone will love the project!

You are so talented, I love the pictures you used too. Can you believe how big Emma is now? Good luck with the baby, hopefully she'll be here really soon. There is nothing worse than being overdue. I was so overdue with Kamryn, I remember you and Jon stopped by to see if she had been born yet, and she hadn't been. It's miserable!

Mandy...that is SO CUTE! It's amazing how small Emma was not that long ago! I want to make one...if you have any extra packets, I'll buy one! I love it! I can't wait for your phone call that the baby is here!

You are a relief society president's dream!! You could probably have easily gotten yourself out of doing this, but you came through and didn't leave it for anyone else to handle. What a trooper...they are going to really miss you! I can't believe you put those packets together for only $3!!! Cute, cute, cute!

So your timeline still just says zero...no negative numbers! Too bad!
