The disclaimer came on the T.V. last night: “Mature subject matter. Viewer discretion is advised” and I said (out loud), “I don’t want mature subject matter. I want immature subject matter”. Maybe you had to be there…
Otherwise, I’ve been scratching my head all night trying to think of something clever to write about for a Fun Friday, but my head isn’t cooperating. There was a glimmer of hope around 3 a.m. but I didn’t write it down and it’s long gone.
The other thing that’s been occupying my rapidly dwindling brain cells is my business. I am a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. Every quarter, I am required to sell a minimum amount of product (which is no small venture) and usually I just squeak through. This quarter it’s more like grinding to a halt. In a few weeks I may be hanging up my Stampin’ Up! apron, but I will still be an avid crafter…
I whipped this up last night….please be suitably impressed…
But there’s still some good news! One of my goals was to get one of my creations published in the bi-monthly magazine. I received my demonstrator magazine for May/June, I glanced through one article of answers to a question posed a few months ago. I was reading the first answer, thinking “cool, I do that too! Oh look, there’s another Jennifer with the same last night…wait a minute – that’s me!” I failed to recognize my own answer, but thrilled that I actually sounded somewhat intelligent! OK, so a craft creation wasn’t published but my writing was (does that count as “published writer? Probably not!)
There’s no school today. Little Guy’s play date was cancelled. His Xbox privileges have been reinstated (after the latest mirror smear incident) It’s raining. Neither one of us wants to get dressed. So-
My business may be bombing so I’m going shopping!! 🙂
Happy Weekend!

Hahaha, isn’t it a pain when their punishment backfires on you. Congratulations on being published, well done! I’ve not been a huge Stampin’ Up follower but have been scrapbooking for about 6 or 7 years now. Isn’t it strange how people connect and then find out afterwards they have common interests?
That’s very cool. You can scrapbook all your adventures! I’ve only been a demonstrator for 4.5 years, but I’ve been teaching cards for almost 10, and got hooked long before that. I blame my mother..I got into scrapbooking and she got into cards…then she got me into cards…but she doesn’t scrapbook (except for my grandparents 60th anniversary and that was a joint project!) Happy Crafting!
I truly hope you do not have to “hang up your Stampin’ up apron”
It has been fun for us to go on that adventure with you.
However, if this is what happens I know that God has something for you.
I am so proud of you that you did get published.
Hang in there for now and see what God does have for you.
