Pregnant girls...

...are crazy! They are also sick all the time...sheesh! My boss is one of them and shes so sick everyday that she doesnt even get out of bed till like 2 pm. So on the one hand its pretty darn cool that I can sit at work and surf the web and do fun stuff all day but its also annoying to have a boss thats a control freak so you cant do much without her and then she DOESNT SHOW UP EVER! Im trying to be sympathetic but its annoying!

I was scrappy chick last night...for real! I completed THREE layouts! I know some of you are laughing but any of you that have scrapped with me KNOW how big that is for me. Im one of those push the paper and picture around forever people. I am liking how my style is all over the place lately. Its getting cleaner but sometimes I just see something in one of my zillions of idea books (bought another one yesterday) and I just HAVE to try it. Copied an Ali Edwards yesterday...turned out looking TOTALLY different but I really like that. I did a cute baby boy LO for Amy with her ultrasound pictures I was so happy with how it turned out! Than I did a LO for BOM inspired by a scrapgal....seriously took me like 45 minutes and that was only cause I was anal about the cutting. Than I did a friend LO for Amys dare that I struggled with forever but I like how it turned out. I will post them soon I promise!

Ive shared with y'all about my money woes....remember, no groceries! So I was talking to a financial planner the other night and he is helping me brainstorm ideas about HOW to get extra money...the obvious being to get another job! But anyone who pays attention knows that I dont LIKE to work....I like to do things that make me happy (see previous paragraphs!) So he hit upon the idea of making custom scrapbooks for people! Cool beans...I would LOVE to do that. Now I just need to figure out the marketing part of that....Any Ideas? Plan B is to work the holidays at Michaels....

no ideas on the books for people thing. Ask Lisa. She may know.

As for everything else....
1) ever heard of dooce? Might not want to post bad things about your job on your blog unless you feel your boss won't take umbrage.

2) YEAH FOR THE LAYOUTS!!!! WOOO WOOO! I'm glad you did something that makes you happy.

3) You are beautiful. I mean that. You are. Inside and Out.

go on with your scrappy self, Carrie!!
custom scrapbooks is a nice way to make a little extra money, but if you are a slow scrapper like me, it's hard to crank the pages out to make it profitable. I've done some blank albums for people usually for the baby's first year. Once I made a bunch of sketches for 4x6 photo placement it made the pages go a little faster. Plus they weren't going in my books so I knew I didn't have to be *SUCH* a perfection-ista. Barnes & Noble might be a fun place to work too (I was considering it as a second job when was faced with taking a job with a big pay cut)
