Finally.....

Whooo Hoooo...... The scrapbooking product to end all products is FINALLY available for pre-order!!!! I am doing the happy dance!!!!

Ok - you may recall at the beginning of the year hubby purchased the Glue Glider Max tape gun for me!!! And I have to tell you I REALLY like Glue Arts Glue!! All their product are awesome! But I wasn't totally "in love" with the Glue Glider Max!

I mean it did everything that it promised it would do, it had pop in cartridges (so no threading your refills! HUGE plus!!!). And it was the awesome glue tape that I have fallen in love with! (Let me tell you - this tape is like the "gorilla glue" for scrapbooking! Months and months later after assembling a page -all my stuff is STILL taped down!!!)

But it was just a little too big and a little too bulky for me...... I am an anal scrapper. My table is always neat and orderly and this tape gun took up toooooo much room in my humble opinion..... So I sold it to my dear friend Chris and she loves it!!! (You know that saying "Different Strokes for Different Folks!!!)

Well I have been waiting cause I had heard that Glue Arts was coming out with a new smaller version and FINALLY the NEW "Glue Glider Pro" is available for PRE-ORDER!!!!

Whooo Hooooo!!!! So you know I just had to go ahead and pre-order it!! They have an awesome bundle deal right now with pre-orders. You get the Glue Glider Pro and all three cartridges for for 20% off the retail price and you get free shipping!!!!

Oh yeah - I am soooooo excited!!! This baby uses the same glue tape as the Glue Glider Max - but it comes in a smaller cuter daintier size!!!!!! I can't wait for it to get here!!! Once it does I will let you know what I think - but from the looks of it so far - I don't think I'm going to find anything I don't like!!!!

But you know.... I'll let you know if I do!!!

Until next Time!

MIA....

So once again I am apologizing for being MIA - I swear though if it isn't one thing then it is another!!!

First up is the Beloved Keepsakes Boutique. Orders are starting to come in for the Photo Stars so I have been pretty busy with those! Then yesterday I had a little snafu with the behind the scenes part of the store - luckily for me Michelle (my boss at Paperthreads) was able to tell me right off what was wrong and my web guy was able to go in and fix it!! Wheew!!!!

Then - I am starting to try to get organize and ready for my in-laws visit!!! Whoooo hooooo!!! they will be arriving for vacation next Tue... I will probably be hit and miss for the two weeks that they are here..... I can't wait!! We have some fun fun fun stuff planned! It is going to be a blast!!

Then - Hubby got a new set of orders - for those that do not know - the Military runs on a fiscal year of Oct 1st through Sept 30th - so that means every Oct 1st we have to get a new set of orders (since we are "full time National Guard") and that means new ID cards, go resign up for our health care, go resign up for our dental care etc..... HUGE PAIN IN THE BUTT!!!

But lucky lucky me - my hubby took the morning off to run around with me and get that all done! We were even able to make it to JAG to get our power of attorneys and such up dated as well!!! It was a huge blessing that he was able to go with me cause let me tell you - a man in uniform REALLY does help speed things up!!!

And finally - I have joined the living and updated my cell phone! Up until this weekend - my cell phone was looking pretty shabby - hmmm here is a photo to prove it.....



Notice the missing keys? The battery cover was refusing to stay on... yeah it was pretty beat up - but I LOVE this phone... I have had it for a little over four years.......

Well I am very proud to report that I did not get suckered into a "Crackberry" like my hubby and dear friend Chris - but I did get suckered in by the PINK Razor!

So far - well - I don't love this phone like I did my last one... but hey it IS pink! But the crappy part about it is that my old phone was soooo old that they didn't have the software to transfer all my contact over from that phone to the new one - so I am having to enter them one by one myself!!! That is crappy!!!

So that's what going on here...... Hope you are all well!

Until Next Time!
