Praise the Lord, I have returned!
My trip to Minnesota was truly a blessing. The time with my girlfriends from Bible College was just wonderful. We shopped out little tootsies right off too, let me tell you. I was able to find some wonderful bargains on school clothes for the kids as well as some nice sport shirts for Tom. As for me, well, I had my eye on a lovely dress from Chico's, but just couldn't bring myself to spend the $60 they wanted for it (it was even on SALE!) I was glad I held out, though, because I uncovered a wonderful secret shopping destination on my drive home! I'll blog about that later.
We toured the Creative Memories Headquarters with Nancy on Wednesday and all I can say is, I'm speechless. I have never in my life seen so many scrapbooking materials in one place at the same time! Not even at my pastor's wife's all-night crop! They have a whole room filled with damaged items and so I stocked up on scrapbooking stickers. I was running low on those little bubbles with the funny sayings that you put on pages to make it look like the people in the pictures are talking, you know? I just love those! I have the funniest picture of Tom with a surprised look on his face and I put one of those little bubbles coming out of his mouth saying, "Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?" (It's from that TV show, Different Strokes - the one with the cute little African American fella.) I just laugh so hard every time I look at it!
Anyways, last night we wrapped up our time together with a lovely dinner at Sbarro's. I have always wanted to go there! We looked so cute too ... all in our denim jumpers and each of us wearing a different color shirt underneath. We used to do that in college. Unfortunately I spilled some tomato sauce on mine and I'm not sure that the stain will come out, so please let me know if you have any ideas. I'm really quite disappointed. It's a new jumper with the most darling little beach umbrellas trimming the hemn and I was so looking forward to wearing it this summer.
Well gals (and you fellas who might be reading this too), I really need to go and do some laundry and prepare dinner. I think we'll go simple tonight ... ham buns, fritos and Red Pop it is. Mom's pooped!
Blessings,
Bonnie

Bonnie,
Club Soda takes any stain out!

Bonnie,
So glad you made it back safe and sound. It sounds like a wonderful time was had by all. (Despite the stain situation.) I am definitly envious of the opportunity to be in a room full of scrapbooking materials. Especially the stickers. I go to the Pages in Time store in Jenison and have to hold myself back when I start looking at all of the stickers to choose from nowadays.
I myself have been spending some time going to garage sales these days. You know you can find some darling clothes for the kids at some of them. As you know I am taking on the task of helping to dress the neices and nephews. I look at it as an opportunity to share God's love with them.
Well dear, the dryer has stopped, and I need to remove Doug's work shirts before they get all wrinkled. You know how I feel about ironing.
