Well...Nice to Meet You, Too!

I'm so glad to hear from all of you! It's wonderful to put a name to my readers.

It's a little overwhelming to get that sort of a response to a RAK. It made me wonder who all was reading. And now I know!!

I'm going to start responding to comments...I'm sort of horrible about that.

I promise you guys I will start doing that.

Well,  not on the giveaways, because clearly that would take me hours,

heeeheee!!!

1. Make your way over to Method Playground if you get a chance.

I'm the guest designer this week and I'm hosting a fun challenge.

I'd love it if some of my readers played along!!

Here is my layout I did:

2. I'm reading this book right now:

Well I was until Harper hid it somewhere.

I kid you not.

I have a feeling she is reading it so that she can 

tear my carefully constructed discipline plan to shreds.

Note to self: must find book immediately.

3. Tonight is sneak night over at Studio Calico. Pop in if you can!! I know I always say this, but I adore this one. I really do. I've already done 3 layouts and will have glimpses to share tomorrow.

4. Here is what my desk looks like right now:

I'm putting together the kits for my class at Crop Paper Scissors

on Saturday.

Kits are also available for purchase at 254-751-7020.

I'm really excited to teach my first class, but also a tad nervous.

I'm mainly just so excited to hang out with people that love this

hobby like I do!!

Thanks again for saying hi, everyone..

the positive encouragement from you guys never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks so much for your support!

xoxo

have a happy day!

[Susan Beth Breuner]

Great pictures of the girls! Excited for you and your class! Enjoy! The first time is always more challenging because you don't know what to expect, but you will do wonderful if you just be yourself and enjoy the ladies! By the end of the day you'll be an "old pro" and able to teach anything! Have fun with it! Still praying for you and yours!

[Lori Borntreger]

Ok, I need to know how the book is??? I have a 2/12 year old, who is sweet as sweet can be 90% of the time, but oh boy, that other 10% pushes me to almost the breaking point!!

Great lo and good luck with your class!! I'm sure it will go wonderfully!!!

[Lacintha]

Gorgeous pics of your girlies..and your desk is amazingly neat!
Waiting for the SC peek tonight as well..love their kits! :)

[Dawn]

[Jen]

sorry i missed the bigness of the RAK, but like I NEED anymore scrap stuff myself! :P
you know i am a regular reader, commentor. i NEED my daily dose of what is Miss Harper up to?!
and Sadie is just too cute.
and the way you love those girls makes me wish i had my chicks that little again, but only with the wisdom and maturity i have now!!
cuz i think i was pretty much a loon when they were that age! hee!
take care!!!

[katie]

Ohh, love that hat on Sadie! What a precious picture! Oh, and your LO is adorable, as well. Enjoy your day!

[Rachel]

I still have hopes of making it to your class(I called the store this morning to make sure there were spots still available)...better get to work now so I will have time to register after all the garage sale prep is done...YUCK! Your girlies are precious!

[Michelle T.]

You sure did get alot of comments for the giveaway and one of them was me. I do check your blog a few times a week. I have you on Google Reader so it tells me when you update. I found you through scrapbooking and I have a friend whose husband was recently deployed to Afghanistan. She has 3 boys. I really feel for both of you, and you and your family have been in my prayers. Then of course your two cuties are fun to see as well. I'm 39, live in Nashville, have 3 boys (12,6,6). I don't comment often but wanted you to know who was reading! Take care, Michelle

[Maryangella]

I love how you always have the girls hair all nice looking, my girls NEVER EVER let me do their hair so you can imagine that the 20 month old and the 4 soon to be 5 as she says, look like. About that class your teaching, I ordered the kit the same day you posted it, when are those going to be shipped because I can not wait to get m y hands on it!

[Sara]

Had to laugh at Harper hiding the book!! Sounds like something my girls would do!!

Love the LO! Your girls are both so CUTE!!

[Alina]

I love this LO

[Leah]

I'm scrappin' with a friend tomorrow and the Method Playground layout is on my list of to do's! Sweet pics of the girls!

[Stephanie Jedlicka]

OMG cute cute cute! LOVE those pictures! :)

I seriously need to order a kit this time. Everytime I see the sneaks on your blog and on the SC website I always *think* about ordering, but I never do. I think September may be the month. ;)

[Ally0005]

I so would love to take a class from you. I think you will do just fine.

[Chanel]

I'm a regular reader for the most part! Unless I get really busy at work (work at a university), like now when classes are getting ready to start back up! lol! Do you like teaching classes at your lss?

[tammy]

I saw your challenge over at the Method Playground blog and I am photoshopping a couple of photos for it today. Great page you did. Oh how I wish I lived in the USA and could come to your class. I was soooo nervous when I did my first class but the ladies all laughed along with me and I relaxed and had a ball.
Harpers hair looks so light in that photo. I just chopped my DD's (4)hair all short. I love it like that. Have a great day.

[doris]

glad you got some sleep. poor things. i was so glad when g's last baby tooth came in. so i wouldn't have THAT to look forward to anymore. ugh.

LOVE this layout. the color combo is killing me. mmmmm.

Hi Stephanie,
I'm a regular stalker...er, I mean reader, lol. I try to comment on all of your posts. I played along with your MP challenge. I couldn't resist another bow challenge. My LO is on my blog. Just saw the SC sneaks...gorgeous! Love the pics of the girls, the one of S in yellow is fantastic!

[Maria Therese]

beautifull layout!!

[Jenney]

Good luck with your first class! I know you'll do awesome!

[Mary Jo]

I have heard really good things about the Love and Logic program and even have the site bookmarked to order from.
I'd love a review of the book when you are done :0)

[Anna Sigga]

Your layout is absolutely gorgeous - as usual!
Your girls are just too darn cute and I love to read your blog - full of fab creations and lots of yummy photos!

Yes i am a daily reader (hmmm that almost sounds like a stalker) ;o)!!

[elizabeth]

aaaack!
that hat! too, too cute!

love the lo...will have to check out the challenge :)

[greta]

oh girl..those pics of your little ones are adorable...makes me want to have another one..then that thought quickly changes..
LOL

another great great book i highly recomend to read is the six point guide to raising happy healthy children...the best i have ever read!!

[Kristi P]

Stephanie,
that book is AWESOME! I read it a few months ago (my son is 3 next month), and it has some great ideas. the whole 'choices' thing is great i.e "do you want to go to bed now or do you want to go to bed in 5 minutes?" the philosophy of it really really works. Its easy reading, and sounds really corny and cheesy, but seriously, if you say it like he does (i.e. "oh no!" that one really got to my son, and still gets him to stop whatever it is he's doing wrong), it will work. I think I have 2 copies if you Miss H has decided to hide it away until she's 18 and you need to borrow hee hee.

[Heather H.]

Aww I love the pink and yellow on the lo about Sadie. It looks great!

[emily anderson]
