Tooooooooooooo MUCH!!!

So, we have our apartment rented as of the first of December! Great news!!! Until I realized that I have two weeks to move out and I haven't even begun to start packing!

Over the last couple of weeks I have been working on scrapbooking gifts for Christmas. I wanted to get it all done before I started to pack up, but I am only half way there!

My wonderful mother has agreed to let me bring ALL of my scrapbooking supplies to her house so that I can continue my projects after we move out. Because my husband is working 3 hours away, I will be packing us up and moving in with his parents until we can get a place out there. I have one week to get us all packed up so that, when he comes out for Thanksgiving, he can help me move our stuff into storage.

The packing is not a HUGE thing... I now that my mom and his parents will be around to help, but I am not looking forward to moving all our stuff into storage right before the holidays and then move again once we find a place.

Oh well... you do what you have to. I do feel good about our decissions though and know that we are doing what needs to be done to be happy. I am sad about moving so far away from family, but in doing so I will be able to go back to school and we are talking about trying for a baby again.

ON A HAPPIER NOTE:

I wanted to let you all know that Scenic Route is now selling to consumers through our NEW online store!! Check it out... let me know what you think or if you have any questions! This is very exciting!!

Another Move?!!?

So... for those of you that didn't know, my husband was layed off a month ago and has had trouble finding a good job. But, he finally found a wonderful job doing what he likes, geting paid a lot of money, and starting right away!

The only problem is that it is THREE hours away! Ahh! We discussed the situation a lot over the weekend and decided that this was just too good to pass up. He drove to Vernal on Sunday night and started working Monday morning. He will be staying there during the week and coming home over the weekends and we thought that we could make it work that way... but, as we talked we realized that it made more sense for us to just move out there.

We don't want to be apart that long (especially since we have only been married a year), it would cost a lot more to have him commute, and we WOULD still be in Utah. So... we are moving after the New Year!!

My husband will be commutting back and forth over the next month and a half until we are ready. We talked to the landlord of our apartment, I spoke with my work, and I have started packing... I just can't believe this! I was prepared to move... but, not that far away.

Even though I will be leaving Scenic Route I will still be working with them at the Sandy shows and continuing to Scrapbook all I can!

Laundry Line by My Mind's Eye

So.... I am really excited about a line that I recently bought from Scrapbook USA at the Sandy Expo Center in Utah in September. I went to the A Page 4 All Seasons booth and was checking out the products by My Mind's Eye. I noticed all the glittered paper (which I LOVE!) and ended up bauying paper, die cuts, ribbon, and stamps from the Laundry Line! I thought that I would share a couple of the layouts I did:

On the layout above I put little pearls on each of the printed flowers all over the page. Also, for those of you who don't know, Tuozzo is my maiden name and I am the 4 year old in the pink dress! ;)

As you can see below, I brushed the edges of the Bazzill paper with green ink in different amounts.

Let me know what you think!!

If you are interested in the products that I used then check out the following websites:

Morning Ritual

So, every morning during the week I listen to the radio on the way to work and in my office as well. I used to switch around stations trying to find the music that I was in the mood for that day or listening to KSL talk radio if I wasn't in the mood for music.

A few weeks ago I happen to turn on 97.1 ZHT and what ever they were talking about caught my attention. As I was listening I found myself laughing over and over at their comments! So,
I ended up turning that same station on the next morning and was once again sucked in to their commentary... especially Danger Boy, his little out bursts just CRACK ME UP!! Now, every morning I listen to them on the way to work and continue listening in my office... I not only LOVE listening to them, I find myself sending little comments or emails in to them with my two cents on some of the subjects they are discussing!

This has become my morning ritual and I love it!

Check them out some time!!
