FFF's may 22nd

Wohoo... It is Friday again, no alarm clock for 3 days... I LOVE long weekends.
And I'm getting my FFF's done this week, I have not quite been on task here the last couple of weeks. Have just been to busy and very lacy with blogging.

1. Yesterday I started my new job at The Paper Niche. Paper Niche is Scrapbooking, Invitation and Fine Gift Boutique. Every one working there seems very nice.. Love it so far =)
They have a monthly kit and a web store is in the making.
I will be working the store and teaching.




2. My new tool... The corner Chomper from We'R Memory Keepers



Just had to take one of these with me home today... It is an awesome corner rounder that will cut through chipboard, acrylic , thin metal and wood... A HAVE TO HAVE item


3. It was so fun to watch the European Eurovision song contest again. I have not seen this since I moved from Norway... Yes...about 10 minutes in to the show memories of "different" ehhh not so memorable songs came to live, but still there was some really great music to be heard. Of course it was extra fun that the Norwegian son won (see ling in earlier blog entry)

4. I am so happy both my sisters and their families are coming from Norway in the end of June. Both my sisters, their husbands and 3 kids each :lol: We will have a full house for 16 days, but we really enjoy each others company so it will be a lot of fun...
We have not seen each other for almost a year, and we are all very close..It will be awesome spending time with them again

5. So we're cruising again in the middle of June, just before my family is coming over. I decided I need 5-6 LB off before I put on that bating suit.. So there has been a lot of salad eating the last couple of weeks. I am totally hooked on the Kraft Asian Toasted Sesame dressing... It is so yummy.

Have a wonderful weekend every one =)

By the way...Croppinsville has 25% of everything in the store and FREE shipping this weekend...Tell Allie I sent you... She has an awesome selection and lots of new products.

4. AT&T U-Verse
We had this installed last week and we all LOVE it. We ended up whit the largest package 450 and have now more TV and radio Channel's then we will ever watch. The internet is super fast and it includes free calling within the US

5. I always make my own Alfredo sauce, but someone told me to try out the Classico Sun-dried Tomato Alfredo sauce. Served with pasta, chicken and garlic brad it is a great and fast dinner..OK I admit I add some whipping cream and some Parmesan/Romano cheese to it myself ..It makes it really yummy.

I also updated my sketch blog with 3 new sketches this week =)

Have a wonderful weekend everyone =)

So it is Friday again and time for my FFF's . I promise no gory pictures this time :lol: as usual it is late before I get to this. Friday has become my busy day lately. We went to get Sean's stitches out today, but the doctor wanted them in for a couple of more days..The poor boy thought he was getting to play baseball tomorrow and do the skate park Sunday. He also had his check up and got 4 shoots ,needless to say he was not a happy camper leaving the doctors office today :lol: He was rewarded with a yummy lunch at Fudd Ruckers afterward.
