Where do you suppose one gets fresh, hot mini donuts at this time of the year?? Fair donuts, the kind that are warm and sugary. I missed out by not getting any at the Fair last year, I guess, but they sound incredible to me at the moment!
I scrapped all darn day on Saturday. Like 12 hours straight, with just a few breaks here and there. I was on a roll working on my Madeline Island mini-book, figured I might as well just keep truckin! Check out this slide show, I love it!!!!! I plan to do just one more layout, of pics from inside our cottage. Other than that, it is finished :)
Other randomness:
** Still no snow here in the Twin Cities. It was very cold last week, but this week it is supposed to stay slightly above freezing. There are already fisherman and shacks out on the thin ice!!!
**I watched Pirates of the Cariibbean last night and then watched a show on the Discovery channel about Giant Squid. Any guesses about what I dreamt about all night ???? Yep, giant squid. I must be the most suggestable dreamer out there! (Or do you think most women are like that?)
**I was soooooo craving Mexican yesterday (Susan, where are you??????) and needed to get out of the house, so I went to La Casita for dinner.
**Hoping to get started on my Christmas shopping tonight. I still don't know what to get anyone!
**Ordered the wrong type of hard drive enclosure, so I still have not recovered any info from my old laptop. I thought I needed SATA, but I really need IDE. The IDE enclosure should be here in a few days :)
**My brother Jeff took a trip to LA last weekend and ended up in the Presidential Suite at the Hilton. Read his story here.
**My poor Gramps just had several surgeries to remove skin cancer again. He is having another big one right before Christmas. Poor guy! My Aunt Carol is also having major surgery again right before Christmas :( I wish them both a speedy recovery!
** The stomach flu is running rampant around here. Just about everyone I know has had it....including all but like 4 people that I work with (including me). I have been washing my hands even more than usual, my poor skin!! Please, please, please don't let me get it...especially not at Christmas!
** I would like to see if there is any interest in getting a group of girls together to attend Scrap Mania at Archiver's in Roseville some Friday or Saturday night.
"Need time away to get your scrapbook pages done, and have some fun with friends? Scrap Mania is the answer! Now on both Friday and Saturday nights, we make our workshop available to you from 5pm–11pm.
Now you can enjoy food and drinks right at your table, and sign up as many friends as you want—reserve a table or even the whole room for your private mania, up to three months in advance! The $15 fee includes a free gift or coupon, dinner and a variety of snacks, prizes, and product demos."
This is open to anyone!!! If you are interested to do this sometime, let me know. I am sure it would work best to plan something for January, but they have not put out their January calendar yet. Stay tuned, I will mention this again soon!
**I haven't been the best about the birthday shout-outs lately :(
Happy belated birthday to:
Nicole B (Dec 10th)
Maria H (Dec 5th)
Amber Nichole (Dec 4th)
Meaghan B (Dec 1st)
Jules M (Nov 24th)
Have a nice week everyone, only two weeks until Christmas!
I know where you can find some Mini Donuts! They taste just like the fair ones. The White Bear Lake movie theatre sells them. :) I saw a movie yesterday and was surprised to see they sold Mini Donuts. I smelled them the second I walked in the doors. I was a little bummed to see they were $4.00 a bag, but hello! They are mini donuts, so I had a bag. :)

wow your album looks great. I can't wait til I finish the album/s I'm working on. Just made me think I don't have not one completed album! Anyway, I wish your grandpa and aunt a speedy recovery from their surgeries and I pray you don't catch that stomach bug as well cause I know what a mess that can be.
