After talking with Cherie today, we will need to postpone the classes for tomorrow until next Saturday. UPS did not deliver today and some of the class supplies were in that shipment. They have told Cherie that they will not be delivering tomorrow either. Also, I know some of you come from quite a ways away and I don't want anyone to risk having a wreck on the roads to get to my class. I apologize for any inconvenience, but we will have the classes at the same times next Saturday, February 20th. The Tuesday Crazy Daisies class will remain on this Tuesday, February 16th from 6:30 to 9:30 PM.
Next Saturday's Classes (February 20th) will be:
10:15 AM to 12:15 PM - Junior Scrappers Club
1:30 to 4:30 PM - Crazy Daisies - the Gerber Daisy class
The shop will be open for anyone who wants to stop by and she is planning to have tomorrow night's crop as scheduled. Thanks so much!
~til next time,
Paula

Now That's Not Supposed To Happen . . .
. . . to quote Widget from "Wow Wow Wubzy". At least it's not supposed to happen in Texas! We are getting LOTS and LOTS of SNOW!!! It has made a slushy mess and they are saying we could get up to 9 inches before it's all done. The kids are loving it, but Robby said he chooses to live in Texas to stay away from the stuff - guess it found him anyway - tee hee hee!! I have to share some photos of us out having fun after everyone got home today.
The backyard - and it's still coming down!!
The "Before photos" - notice how clean and warm they look - hehe!!
We decided to make a snowman.
Here is our snowman, "Hardhat Hal", as Kaylee named him. And here's the song for our version of "Frosty":
Hardhat Hal the snowman,
Was a jolly happy soul.
With a Dragin worm mouth and a Senko worm nose
And two eyes made out of bobbers!!!
How appropriate for our family - all fishing stuff - ROFL!!
SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!!
Zachary tried to sneak up on Daddy.
Here's the aftermath:
And poor Gracie just doesn't know what to think. The snow is almost as deep as she is tall. Robby is having to clear off a spot in the grass because it is getting so deep we'll loose her!! Here's her first snow pics:
I'm sure we'll all sleep good tonight. We (Robby and I) may not care much for snow - but we made the best of it and had a great time with the kids. It had just better all melt by tomorrow afternoon so I can make it to the big President's Day sale at JoAnn's!!! :) Take care and stay warm!

Do you want a puppy like Gracie?
Happy Rainy Thursday!
I have had several people ask me where we got Gracie, so I wanted to give you all the info. The breeders are family friends of ours and their names are Ronnie and Saundra Stringfellow. They live in Holdenville, Oklahoma, and can ship the puppies pretty much anywhere in the U.S., or you can pick them up from them. Holdenville is near where my Grandma Huff lives and it's about 3 1/2 hours from Fort Worth.
I spoke with Ronnie yesterday and he said that they have a new litter of Morkies (Maltese/Yorkie mix), like Gracie, and that 3 of them have the soft, curly, Maltese hair, like Gracie. I'm not sure on the coloring or the size, but he said if you were interested, they could e-mail photos to you. These puppies are not ready to go to a new home yet, but you can go ahead and call if you are interested. He said the price on them is around $500. Here are their phone numbers to call:
(405) 379-2663 home
(405) 380-6773 Saundra's cell phone
I have to run now. I'm trying to clean my house for my Scentsy party tonight. I'm doing my best, but as my Grandma says, "If you're comin' to see my dust, you'll have a lot to see" - ROFL!!!

This class is loaded with techniques! We will make 20 ornaments for the Tree of Life using Ten Seconds Studio metal, Diamond Dust, Rock Candy Stickles, and acrylic paints, just to name a few. There are frames for photos and real “valentines” to hang on your tree. You won’t want to miss this class and at only $30 – that makes it only $1.50 per ornament, plus you’ll get ribbons for extra bows and learn to make a large bow for the top of your tree. In addition to all of this, you will also receive a box to store your beautiful decorations so they can be put away safely and used again in years to come. Space is limited, so be sure to call and reserve your place today.
Trees can be purchased separately for only $20 at the Scrapper’s Boutique!
Supplies you need to bring to class are:
12” paper trimmer

Tape runner
Quick dry liquid glue
Glossy Accents/Diamond Glaze/or similar
Scissors
Craft knife
Paper piercer
Pencil and eraser
Sanding block
Scor-pal (If you have one – there will be one for class use also.)
You might want to bring an apron and some baby wipes with you because some of this class can be messy, but it sure is fun!
I am planning the February Crazy Daisies Class and Junior Scrappers Classes now. Be sure to mark your calendars for Feb 13th or Feb 16th. In the Crazy Daisies Class, we will be learning to make Gerber Daisies.
On a personal note, I would like to thank you for the sweet comments on my last couple of posts. It is so nice to read them. I also want to point out the "followers" section on the left side of my blog. If you would like to receive an e-mail notification when I post something new, you can sign up there and then you will be sure to be in on all my latest class info, etc. :)
I can't end my post without giving you the latest info about our new little puppy, Gracie. She is growing and going through those silly and trying puppy stages. She is chewing on everything and I think she has her days and nights mixed up. She has been keeping us all up the past few nights - hehe. Kaylee made the comment "Goodness, this is like having a baby". I just had to laugh. I think we're going to try to take her for her first full grooming very soon. I'll be sure to post pictures.
Have a wonderful rest of the week!

Our New Year's Gracie
We just got back from a fabulous trip to Kansas and Oklahoma to visit my family and we had a great time!! We saw a LOT of snow and had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. In fact, on New Year's Eve, Kaylee got to ring in the new year with a new puppy of her own . . . Gracie!! She has just lit up the house with her adorable personality and super sweet face. I just hope our other 2 furry babies will like her also. Miss Joni was so great to take care of them while we were gone and I'm going to pick them up a little later to introduce them to the new puppy. Here's hoping it all goes well - hehe. Well, without further adiou, here's a photo of Kaylee's new baby.
She's a whopping 1 1/2 pounds right now at 13 weeks old. They said they expect her to be around 5 or 6 pounds full grown. But that could vary a bit.
Well, I have to run now. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and are off to a fabulous New Year!!!
~til next time,
Paula
