House Mouse Photos and Scraps

OH NINE!!

I can"t believe how fast the last year went!! I know I haven"t blogged in a while but between my Grandma being gravely ill... Congestive Heart Failure and then trying to keep up with all the Builders Year end Closing I was soooo wiped out!!

As far as my Grandma she was a Christmas miracle ... She was given her last rites and she made a full 360 recovery.. She is now back home with minimal help.. Thanks for all the prayers form family and friends....It worked!!

 Oh nine was a great feeling of a blank slate!! A new beginning that is much needed. I will try to be a better bloger and at least check in now and then.

Last Friday night I took a wonderful class at Scrapbook Oasis and all I could say was WOW!! As you guys know I am a class SNOB and I really won"t pay a gazillion buck to take a 2 pg layout with a scrapbook celeb but that"s just me!I just always feel that I spent way too much to leave with a 2 pg layout and a cheesy picture that I never look at again.(Exception would be Tim Holtz, love his classes/style) Anyway, the 7 Gypsy class was amazing and worth it"s weight in gold!! Also for the 1st time i actually was able to chat with the owner (Karen) .. She was very nice and is not a snob in the least.. I think before she was just a quite gal and misunderstood. If your interested I think she is making up kits for the class and they come with full instructions and photos.. If Interested give'em a call 

I do have some photos that I need to post but I have to get on my house and GET IT CLEAN!!

I am back !!

I am so sorry that I have been such a BAD BLOGGER!!!! I really have been soooo... busy running all over So. Cal. trying to close as many loans as possible... I have to really store my earnings cause the market will in January... SO for now I am a YES-i-can  Mex-i-can!!! 

 The holidays were Kinda Quiet... Nothing too eventful.....  Even  though it was a holiday week end I did 4 signings... Then I put up our Christmas Tree (I finally broke down and bought a fake tree) I just have the lights on and some really cool glitter snow flakes that the kids made . It was a kit made by K and Co. and they were very Kid friendly .. I will try to post some picts soon.

I also saw this on Jim Holtz blog and I just love his work.. If you ever get a chance to take a TH class JUMP ON IT!

Here is what is going on on his blog It's starts Monday!! I will check in this week with more Picts....I promise   ~Genine

Just Pluggin Along

I do have to say that finally I can take a deep breath. I guess I should breath while I can since "You know what" is just around the corner... This weekend I will be having a open house (still trying to sell our place!) also I get to spend time scrapbooking with my favorite group!!!  Then Sat night I get to go to a surprise party (more details to come , I don't want to spill the beans) On Sunday I have a TS Fund raiser at a church in corona... So a busy weekend for me but I love every minute of being with such awesome people.  Also I have 2 weekends open for photos if anyone is interested. Well I gotta go and CLEAN for the Open House....  Have a great weekend,  Genine

The Ellen Show!!

   

WOw today was sooo awesome! I was in the audience at the Ellen show for her Breast Cancer Survivor Show . Guess What?? Everyone in the audience got a round trip ticket to anywhere in the US.

We also received the new book from Suzanne Somers. I seems really great that she is really focused on finding what is making cancer begin to even grow in our bodies. She has 8 different doctors take on how we can prevent this deadly disease . If anyone wants to borrow a copy we have 2 (john went too!)

We also received a CD from some teeny bop-per from camp rock. I kinda felt bad that she was on with the whole audience not really appreciating the whole teen bop thing. Demi Lovato was her name ..Cute but not really my music but you best believe the kids ripped the 2 cd's out of our hands cause this was right up there alley!
