School Gala
I am the co-chair for our school's annual gala - the largest fundraiser of the year. It's a lot of fun but a lot of work too! This year we've decided to ask the classrooms to submit projects or baskets that the class has worked on. Some of the projects are really fun -
One of the 8th grade classes is putting together a scrapbook of all of their years at the school
One of the 2nd grade classes is making a cookie jar and putting in cookie recipes that the kids bring from home
The 5th grade classes are embroidering quilt blocks and making two quilts
Missy's 4th grade class all brought in bags of their favorite chocolate. Then they did a writing assignment describing their favorite chocolate. I made a scrapbook that has a picture of each kid and his/her writing and a little clear envelope that says what their favorite chocolate is.
We usually raise about $45,000 each year at the gala! I hope we do that well this year!

All Registered for High School
Buddy visited the high school with his 8th grade class at the end of January. He had a blast! He brought home a course description booklet and chose the few electives that he'll be able to take as a freshman. The following week they registered, so he's all set!
I think it's going to be a big transition for him, since he's been at the same Catholic school since he was four years old! But he's ready for it, and so am I (I think)!

New LG Chocolate Touch
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of LG Chocolate Touch. All opinions are 100% mine.
FINALLY – a phone that can do it all!!LG’s new Chocolate Touch has it all!! I’ve been looking for a new phone and think I may have found it!
I haven’t heard of a phone that has so many features! One feature that really interests me is the Dolby Mobile technology for crystal-clear sound quality. It’s got great visual effects and even a beat that vibrates the handset to the beat of my ringtone! I’ve never had a phone that has internet access, so if I get this phone, I can’t wait to use it for social networking and email! The camera sounds sweet too – a 3.2MP camera and video recorder – perfect for those times you don’t want to carry your camera with you!
Just think, if I got this phone, I could get rid of my iPod! I wouldn’t have to carry my laptop around in order to access my email or social networking! And I wouldn’t have to drag my huge camera to every sporting event, etc. etc. Awesome!!
LG is a great company – my current phone is an LG and I really like it! It might be time to upgrade to the Chocolate Touch because it offers so much more than my current phone.
Check out the new LG Chocolate Touch here: LG Chocolate Touch
I hope it's available in brown!!
Last night I had a great time with a friend - we went out for Chinese and then went to several scrapbooking stores looking for prizes for our next scrapbooking event!
We had an $80 budget - it's so much fun shopping with someone else's money LOL! We found tons of great deals! My favorite was a 8x8 paper pack that included punch outs and really fun colors. I got one in Mango and one in Pear. They were only $1.99 each!!
I also got a new cutter. I haven't been happy with my new Fiskars cutter so I decided to buy a Cricut brand. I think I might be returning it - when I got it home, I realized that you have to lift up the blade holder every time you want to cut something. The other cutters I've had have had a swivel blade holder that is much easier to use. I had a coupon and the cutter was only $5.99, so maybe I'll just keep it!
I'm looking forward to our scrapbooking day on February 13th!

High School!
Today was the day! Buddy and his classmates got to tour the high school that they will be attending in the fall! He had a BLAST!! He said he can't wait to go to high school. I really think he's ready for a change. He's been at the same small Catholic school since Pre-K. I know he's going to do great in high school, but at the same time, it'll be just a little bitter sweet that he'll be leaving our beloved Catholic school. Good thing we'll have Missy there for another four years!

Here's one of my all time favorites. Most of have you probably seen it but it's fun to repeat it! I've said most of these things to my kids and they're only 10 and 13!
