Did you learn anything earth-shattering about me? HeeHee.

Let's see, what has been going on with me.....

• My brother, SIL, and their three kids are here from Seattle. We have had tons of fun. We took all of the kids to Bear Buddies to get a stuffed animal. Sort of an early Easter gift since they are going home tomorrow. We celebrated Christmas and all of the birthdays in the last 4 months last night at Leo's. We went shopping and to movies. Just a bunch of relaxing and hanging out. Took some family pictures and some photos of their youngest daughter, Hallie, who is a curly, red-headed firecracker. She is 17 months old and such a doll!!


• QVC called and pushed my air date back to September. They decided not to have a craft event in July, so September is the next one. That will be a busy month with Creative Escape, starting school, the fair, and now QVC.


• I went to my friend, Sherelle's blog and she had the outline for a 12 week online photography class by http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/. I have been wanting to learn more about the setting on the manual mode of my camera, so I decided to download the outline and take the class. I will keep you updated as to my learning. (Thanks, Sherelle!) Go to the 2peas website or Sherelle's link from my blog for more info.


• Anyone else tired of the snow yet? I am. I am ready for some warm weather and sunshine!


• A bunch of gals and guys at my work have started our version of The Biggest Loser". It will go for three months, ending at the end of May.(Just in time for swim suit season!!) There are about 20 people in it. I have lost, so far, 9 lbs. I have been walking every day, lifting weights 2 days per week, and then doing some cardio exercise 2 days a week. I have been cutting back on my portions sizes, but mainly not eating "frivolous" calories. You know, the snacks and treats that always seem to be lying around at work. Wish me luck. (Amanda, you are my hero!!)

Well, I think that is about all for now. Take care!! Think Spring!!

Great News!!

Lots of fun stuff happening at my house. I just received a letter from QVC giving me the news that my sketches book has passed inspection!!! YEA!!!! I had to make some changes to the book and figure how to package it so that it can withstand hurricane force winds (Seriously, you should see the requirements contract!!) Anyways, I did it!! So now to printing and a trip to Philadelphia in April for classes and a run through on my segment. Getting so excited!!!

We are going to have a QVC Sendoff Party at the ETM Store. Discounts for anyone who has a Q, V, or C in their name or something. Free stuff and food!! I am not sure of the date or details, but stay tuned.

My segment will air in July. So much to do in the next few months.

Another fun thing is this blog I found. It is http://www.worthmentioninginidahofalls.blogspot.com/. Krista has put together a website of all the fun events in our area. I didn't realize how much was going in right under my nose. She also has her "favorite finds". Cute items she has come across. She also has give-aways@ I won 3 SETS of tags from Tattered Tags. They are so darn cute! I have seen them in Christy Tomlinsons Scarlet Lime Kit, and wanted to get some, but not had the chance yet. So excited to try them out. Check out that site too. http://www.tatteredtags.etsy.com/.
If you have an event, product, or other info that you think should be on Krista's Idaho Falls site, go to the site and email her. Anyone hosting a crop they want to have advertised??!!

Have to wish my LITTLE brothers (31 and 28) Happy Birthday this week. Love you guys!!

That's all for now!

Can you believe that it is February already! Wow, this year is already flying by. Tracey and the boys have been making the most of the snow and cold weather. They went ice fishing up to Ririe last weekend. They had a lot of fun.

They also have been doing a lot of sledding and playing "king of the hill". I love to watch them play!!

Here is my fashion advice for the day......

Yes, that is a tie worn with a hoodie. I bought the boys ties and new dress clothes. They were so excited to wear them that they wore them to dinner at The Great Wall restaurant. Dalton was decked out head to toe.....shirt, tie, pants, socks, shoes. He was so handsome!!! Jaxson decided that he only wanted to wear his new shoes and his tie, and that is exactly what he did. He had his dress shoes on with slick sweat pant, his blue hoodie and his tie. He was so adorable. He kept rubbing his tie and saying, "Doesn't my tie look nice?!"

Well, here is the entire ensamble as I had planned it..........

Look at those handsome kids!!!

I am a total slacker, but i just wanted to wish my handsome hubby HAPPY BIRTHDAY on the 26th of January!!

Yes, I married a younger man......only by 2 weeks. The boys and i tried to give him a little thing every day of the week of his birthday. He is such a wonderful father, husband, and soul mate. He is always there for me and the boys. He has such a great sense of humor and is such a good listener. I love you honey!!

Well, off to shovel some snow. Stay warm!!

Recap of my week.....

Lots of stuff happening at out house. Here is a recap...

• Had my 35th birthday on the 12th. My husband and boys bought me a dozen pink flowers. I had to work that day, but when i came home, Dalton was waiting on the back porch as I pulled in. He was so excited to show me the roses. He snuck down into my scrapbook room and found some ribbon to tie around the vase. They were all so cute about it!!
• Had my dental implant procedure done last Monday. I am such a weenie when it comes to going to the dentist, but i survived and my tooth is healing well. It has to heal for 4-6 weeks before the crown is placed on it.
• Rescheduled my QVC appearance for JULY! Really excited to get back to my book and get it rolling.
• I was just made CAMP DIRECTOR for my ward. I am really excited!! If anyone has great websites or references they would love to share, please feel free!
• Tracey took the boys ice fishing today. I was on call today so I stayed home. I didn't end up having to work so I was able to sleep in. YEA! Tracey took the boys and asked me for the camera so he could take photos!! What a good guy!
• Planning on an ETM crop this saturday. It is a 12 hour crop. Really excited to have that time to be creative.
• Taught my chipboard family album class at the ETM store last Thursday. The gals were so fun and it was a great class.

Well, there are the highlights. Have a good week!

Another Sunday evening. There is something about Sunday that makes me want to just snuggle by the fire and nap. Do you feel that way? It is even worse when it is so darn cold outside.

Anyways, was able to get the rest of the Christmas down and things back to normal. Did some returns today also. No lines or hassles, it was great!!

Taught my primary class today. I had my new class. They are 5 years old, and there are 9 of them. They are so cute. They are all so chatty about life and things.

Worked and extra day this weekend for a friend who was sick. She really appreciated it and the extra money will be nice! Well, money that will go to my implants...........tooth implant that is. Yes, I have to have major (okay it is just minor, but i am a weenie, so i think it is major) mouth surgery next Monday. Not looking forward to that at all!

Well, that is the recap of my week. Boring and uneventful. Sorry. Maybe more pictures next post.

Took some time off....now I am back in the saddle!

Season Greetings and Hppy Holidays from the Mitchell household! We hope that everyone had a great holiday, stayed safe and healthy, and made some wonderful memories!

Sorry that i have not blogged for such a long time. I needed to take some time off. Time to spend with my kids, relax, chill out, and do nothing. It was quite nice. Here is what we have been up to.

Tracey and I were able to go to Jaxsons school and spend the day with him at his Christmas party. We make ornaments, decoracted cookies, and sang songs. Santa even came for a visit. Jaxson was so excited to have us both there. It was very fun. Take a look....

The boys are at the PERFECT age to enjoy the holidays. They loved every detail of Christmas this year. They loved decorating the tree and setting out all of the holiday decorations.

The boys even got creative and made their own tags for the gifts! So cute!

We had our family christmas party at our house. This is the third year we have had it. I really enjoy getting together with my aunts, uncles, and cousins (about 40 or so) and spending time together. Santa ususally stops in and drops off a treat for all the kids. He didnt disappoint this year.

When the boys got up on Christmas Eve morning, Santa had left them a game tree. It was a little tree loaded with little games that they could play. There was puzzles,dice, rubix cubes, dominos, and hand held games. Santa also left them some pajamas and a letter. They were so excited about the tree. They played all day with them.

We spend the Christmas Eve with Tracey's family. They came over for pizza and we opend presents. It was nice. Really laid back and fun.
I though Dalton was going to spontaneously combust before Christmas got here. We was up twice in the night becuase he couldnt sleep. Finally he dozed off and didnt wake til 0800. Leggos were the big hit of the holiday. My kids love them!!

With all of the swow that has fallen, we have done a lot of sledding. The boys squeal with excitement as Tracey takes them over jumps in the backyard.

We spend this weekend, cleaning up after the holidays. Got most of the decorations put aways, except for the tree, and some dusting done. I get the urge to clean after the holidays, you know, organizing things so that all the new stuff will have a place.

Took a break from scrapbooking for a few weeks. It was nice to have all my assignments done and not have deadlines to meet. I also put my book on the back burner for a while. It is still going to be on QVC, but i have pushed that back to this summer. There are so many little details to take care of to get onto the show, classes to take, and meetings to go to in Pennsylvania, that I just couldn't fit everything in before february, which was my origional air date. It has been nice not to have the stress of all those decisions to deal with over the holidays. I will be back in full swing after the first of the year to get the book deal done.

I also found out that i have asthma. I have been fighting a cough for the last 4 months and i think this has been the problem. Had a few rough days getting my breathing under control, but i think that thinks are calming down now. The cold and wind doesnt help, but I am leaning to deal with it. Hopefully it will clear up and not give me much hassle (cross my fingers).

Whew...there is our holiday recap. Ready for the new year. Teaching some classes at the ETM store, and putting a few kits together. i will post some pictures when i get them done.

Have a great new year!!
