PEACE!!

Warning: Pity Party Below

Okay so I left on last Thursday for the ELCA Communicators Conference. It was a great conference. I met some great people, hey Nikki. I was scheduled to leave Chicago yesterday afternoon. My flight was rescheduled 3 times and then eventually cancelled. I get a hotel room at the Hyatt Regency for 69.99, the airline rate. After eating dinner I eventually dose off, around 3:30am the fire alarm goes off....I get dressed and get down stairs via the steps which wasn't so bad going down. I get outside and it's a false alarm. I reenter the hotel and due to the long lines at the Elevator I walk the seven flights to my room, which were murder. I can't seem to fall back to sleep so I have been on the computer since I got back to my room.

I just noticed one of my diamonds is missing out of my ring, and my cellphone refuses to work. I haven't seen my daughter and husband since Thursday and my flight today does not leave until 8:00 pm which means I still won't get home until 11:30 pm. I am doing okay, but say a prayer for me cause I am trying not to be too upset about all of this, knowing that there must be some type of God moment in all of this...

CKC and other ramblings

I went to CKC Valley Forge for the first time. I was excited nervous and overwhelmed all at the same time. My tour guide for this event, Stephanie was the best! She scoped out the place before I got there and we managed to get come great deals. As she mentions in this post
Heidi Swapp's company Advantus was having a serious close out! Here is what I scored for just $20 bucks.

I volunteered also and got a $30 credit for my service, with that I bought two books the Scrapbookers Almanac by Elizabeth Dillow and The Organized and Inspired Scrapbooker by Aby Garvey and Wendy Smedley.

I also purchased an 8x8 book of SEI's Jolie Chocolat and 5 12X12 sheets from the some collection. I also bought 3 chipboard mini albums from Gifted memories. The owner Shere has be in business for year now, check her out she has some nice premade pages too.

i stopped off at the Memory Lane PA, which is kind of a lss. I got one of the Making Memories 4X6 journaling books i didn't have and I also picked up Simple Scrapbooks mini albums in an evening mag.

All and all I had a great time. When Stepanie and I finally made up our minds about lunch Ruby's diner sure hit the spot.

I managed to score some deals at Sears in the King of Prussia Mall for My duaghter and sister Aisha.

Last week I was on vacation from work, attending our Youth Convention. Can you believe my three year old sang in the children's choir everyday and sung a solo. I was floored when I saw this and I had nothing to do with it.

I am home today nursing a sick child with a fever...and it's onto Chicago on Thursday for work. I am hoping to get to Windy City Scrapbooking or Archivers. The schedule for the conference I am attending seems a bit tight so I may not be able to get to them, but hopefully I can.

I need to fix Danielle something to eat so I will talk to you all later.
