Weekly Wrap-Up: March 18, 2012

Sarah here!! How ya doing? I’m a little spread thin, I swear. Today, I have Girl Scouts. Second to last official meeting for that. I’m both sad and excited. After that, we have one more meeting, and THREE trips. I’m sadly only going on one of those. But Madison (my daughter) is going on all three. I’m excited for her.

Speaking of children (and excitement), and part of the reason I’m just spread out so thinly: March 17. Y’all know it as St. Patrick’s Day. Well, we know it as Oh Crap! He’s Aging Up! AKA, my son Ethan’s birthday. This year, he turned SEVEN. To celebrate, we bought a new car. Okay, that wasn’t really a celebration, but he got to see a Camaro, which made him happy, I think.

So, that’s what’s new with me. 😀 If anyone is paying attention, no, we didn’t buy the Camaro. We bought a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu. Program car, so GM-certified everything inside when it comes to maintenance, and 7500 miles, or so (a little more, but still *sweet*)

So, you remember book club right? Did you know that someone got SO inspired by it, she made a kit to match The Hunger Games? Oh yeah! Word on the street is that Ginger (yes, OUR Ginger) is going to be helping her fix some “rookie” mistakes and re-release it in store (for free). Sweet deal, right?

The chat has been scheduled: Saturday, March 31st (Noon EST)!! We hope to see you there!

OH!! I almost forgot!! There’s also a challenge for scrapping involved as well!! I’m not going to tell you the challenge here! You’ll have to go to the thread and find out for yourself!! Warning!! I’m joining in 😉 Good luck to EVERYONE who participates!

Now it’s time for the What’s New on the Forum?

First up, what trends in scrapbooking have you noticed? Do you have a favorite?

Barb reminds us all to BACK UP YOUR PHOTOS!! I’ve personally got mine going IMMEDIATELY to Flickr, and now, my phone uploads automatically (when I’m on WiFi) to Google and Photobucket.

There’s also an ongoing discussion of the weather. Yes, the weather. How’s the weather in your area?

Make sure you check out the FB wall! There’s a lot of updates and stuff there, as well!!

Well, I think that’s about it!! It’s been a pretty quiet week. I’m going to blame myself. I’ve been sick with allergies and all that and was just super quiet.

Yeah, we’ll just say that 😛
