only 36 more days left of 29.

Wow in 36 days I will be turning the big 30! How do I feel about it? Easy, I feel fantabulous, I think it is going to be my best year yet. I could mope and sulk and whine to everyone about how crappy it is that I am going to be another year older, but whining is for sissy's! suck it up buttercup. lol. But really, I am exactly where I wanna be in life right now. I have two beautiful, amazing children who make my heart grow more each and every day. I have a supportive, respectful, husband whom i trust more than myself, and who love's me unconditionally, I have fabulous friends who totally rock, an amzing family, A house, a flourishing business, the list goes on, and on my friends. What really do I have to be worried about? whoopidee doo I am another year older, I mean let's get real that will continue to happen for the REST of my LIFE~! So I choose to see the glass half full, with a super awesome umbrella and an orange slice on the side. Bring on 30, cause I am so looking forward to it.

The Little engine that could

So I went out last week and sold close to 2000.00 in advertising, in only 2 days!!! I always beat myself up about how I am not a good salesperson and yadda yadda. How Ray could do so much better, and I will never be as good as him with all his experience. and then I went out and kicked some serious selling butt! I am still making follw up calls and getting people to get on board, so it just keeps going higher and higher! Keep in mind this is per month, so that is a huge chunk of change for the publication, so until next time....I think I can...I think I can...I know I can.. I will!

Pinch me I must be dreaming!

Ok So Monday morning I wake up, check my emails, and there is a scrap in style newsletter. So I check it out, and scroll down to discover that MY layout was selected for layout of the week! In the scrappin world this is a pretty big freakin deal, or at least to me. Considering there is over 14,000 users worldwide on SIS, and SOOOOO much incredible talent that post pages on that site. Needless to say I am so totally thrilled and honored to have been chosen. I have started participating in challenges as well, and find it really makes me scrap outside the box. I LOVE them! Now if I could only get myself on a design team. Life rocks!

Extra, Extra, read all about it......

ok, so Ray and I froze our asses off doing distribution of the carsgone publication today. A tad chilly I must say. So it is now available at over 650 locations across Edmonton and Area, Including all the Partsources, JB's Automotives, XS Cargo's, lots of Sobeys and Canadian Tires just to name a few. So go freakin pick it up cause we froze our butts off to make it available for you, lol. No guilt or pressure whatsoever. We also made some serious and specific goals while driving around and also a plan of action to achieve those goals. This is going to be a year of more hard work, but I also believe it is going to be super successful as well.
