I'm Back and feeling SOOOO.... much better!!! YAYY! I think I was just BEAT I guess! What I do is sleep like 10 hours in a week and I seriously feel TOTALLY fine. I think the adrenaline is just pumping and I'm ALL good!!! BUT, after two weeks of doing it, my body just GIVES I guess. lol...DARN thing!!! It's like my husband will try to wake me up, he says 10 times and I hear NOTHING...that's scary. I guess my body NEEDS sleep every once in a while. So I was getting all these restless feelings and I'm thinking it was me trying to fight it. I don't know, but I'm all good now! hehe.
I DO feel like a total loser though. We were supposed to me doing some new product releases and things on Monday for this week. Well here is what we will do...That will all start tomorrow. You will be getting a newsletter (with a little surprise from me, hehe) that will tell you all about it. We are going to announce the Songbird Kit winners (FINALLY), last weeks challenge winners and the fun challenge for this next 7 days :). So be on the lookout for that.
Okay so about my son...OMG are almost 3 year olds SOOOO FUN or WHAT??? lol. I have always enjoyed my son obviously but these days are just a hoot!!! It's like they form SUCH a personality at this age I guess and he just keeps us rollin. rofl! He also wants to be Mr. Independent though too. I'll fix him a bowl of cereal and he IS RE-FIXING it REGARDLESS. Hey, that is PERFECTLY FINE with me, lol. WHATEVER, I tell him, lol. BUT, not only is he funny, independent, ADORABLE and SO very entertaining, he is a PERSISTENT little butt too. hehe. We have lots of play time but when I go to sit down to work, hecccckk NO. I bet he interrupts me EVERY 2 minutes to get up and do SOMETHING. And it's like I feel BAD if I don't you know? Like guilty for working or something. But I am SO NOT RICH. I HAVE to work and pay the bills just like everyone else, lol. I feel like the LUCKIEST person that I get to do that here WITH HIM and that I LOVEEEE what I do, yall KNOW that, haha. BUT it MUST get done too. So I don't know, it's BEATING me up lately, lol. Not that I'm overwhelmed, I just feel BEAT!!! lol He is only one child too, I SERIOUSLY can not IMAGINE you all that have more. They are CRAAAZY FUN but LOTS of WORK. rofl! I wouldn't trade it for anything though. :)
Do yall realize, you have not really seen pictures?? OMG, I'm crazzy, hehe. I will try to get some up this week so I can you my adorable boys! :)
Oh and hey, you see we are in the spotlight?? How COOL is that. Listen HERE! I can not TELL you how AWESOME that place is, I LOVE IT!!! Not because they are spotlighting us either, lol. I have been a huge fan ever since they first started and I wasn't even a designer, lol. I was even paying for their service and HAPPY to do it. Now it's FREE! You can also get a huge kit from there for like $3 from the FABULOUS Nancie Rowe Janitz at Scrap Artist! You can just really learn so much by listening to their shows I THINK. And get to REALLY know other people including designers. That was my favorite :), You should check it out!

Christina, I am so happy to hear that you are doing much better. Yes, even your body needs sleep once in a while ;)
Congrats on being in the spotlight over at DTR !!!! I love that site and will go over to the site tomorrow. Almost bedtime for me.
And, yes, 3 year olds are very funny. My DS is 3.5 years old and he also wants to do everything himself. haha Drives me crazy sometimes but love him to death. I would love to see photos of your boys :)

ahh yes, the joys of 3 yo's. Isn't it fun when they want to re-do EVERY thing you do?? And you get clothes out for them and they have to change them all. or get hung up on long sleeves and jeans and want to wear them even when it's 150 degrees in Arlington?? Not that I've ever dealt with any of that.....Glad you got sleep and are feeling better. I told ya you needed some Lunesta.

Glad to hear that you are feeling better! :D
So happy that you are feeling better! You need to take care of yourself, for you and your family!
Really looking forward to the next week!
My dd just turned 3, and is such a funny creature! I just wish we could bottle them up when they are at this age!
I am glad to hear that you are feeling better now Christina.....next time just pencil in the word "sleep" in your calendar and you should be allright ;) I can't wait for all of the new goodies and the newsletter as well...but I have a question....Where can I sign up for it? I didn't see a button in the store for signing up, and I really don't want to miss it (read: I want the cool freebie too! hehe )
My youngest is almost 3.5 and I love that age!! Well each age has it's own pro's and con's just like any other, but you're right....at around 3 the personalities reaaally begin to emerge, and it's totally fun to watch the little person starting to make his way in the world... *sniff!* Enjoy these days Christina.....they go by waaay too quick!! :)

so glad, to hear you feel better, who cares, whether the new stuff is coming on monday or tuesday or whatever.
You will do it anyway, just take a little more time.
Did I hear fun-challenges (new ones?)My family will kill you! I am not that fast scrapper but did all seven challenges, my family had to suffer so much, lol. Today I told my husband, that it is done, and he was lucky.
Ah, I am one with 3 children, believe, when they are older, they do not come every single minute, but silence is dangerous, always.
by the way, I will love to see pictures.
What about the newsletter, did we have to sign up anywhere, did I?
The shoppe is unreachable again, I allready thought, you did some new goodies there, it was just yesterday, that I could come in the shop with first step :-)
Congrats, congrats, congrats to the spotlight,
I am now almost writing as much as you, it just should be an answer, so I will stop now.
have a great spotlight week!

Glad you got some sleep & are feeling better.
My 2 yr old is just like that. Every time I sit down at the computer, she wants something every 2 minutes too. You do feel bad, but then again it's frustrating too because stuff needs to get done.
You are a fabulous designer.
How do I sign up for the newsletter?
My email: amandareimer@jcmh.com
Glad you are feeling better.
My son is 4 and still like that. I also have a 16 month old daughter and they love to make me get up and down all the time too.
Did we need to sign up for the newsletter? I just hope I did not miss it. Can't wait to hear who won all of those goodies. It was so much fun doing those challenges. Such an awesome job you and your CT did.
