SPRING BREAK?

I have decided that everyone should have a chance at taking spring break.
A girl on my work team is flying to Ft Lauderdale to take a Carribean cruise for a week
My kids are embarking on their annual "get out of school for a week trek"
People all around us are going to try to enjoy some R&R and play.
Moi? I will be working 8-5 and then trying to be creative at the store in the evenings.

With that in mind, watch out we have tons of activities planned.
Saturday 3-midnite, SMART GIRLS CROP, dinner will be served, let's kick this vacation off with a bang!
Sunday 20% off all ribbon
Monday MANY paper lines will be on sale 20-50%!
*** EASTER layouts are due
Tuesday Studio open for free all day, grab a coffee and a friend and spend the day!
Wednesday bring a friend and you both get 10% off of your purchase
Thursday sign up for a class and get 10% off your purchase

SMART GIRLS GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!

I was inspired today by Shauna over at Up in the Night (see her link listed on the right sidebar) She blogged today about how we lose ourselves when we are mom's and put all our attention to raising amazing kids. We don't take time to do what we need too. For instance, how often do we haul all the kids to get their haircut or for shoes while we settle for a trim every other time and Old Navy Flip Flops (not knockin' 'em, I have my fair share but the reality is there are some great sandals out there). How often does Hubby grab a game of Golf or spend time with the "boys" while we keep the homefires burning. Hence at our store we host "SMART GIRLS CROP" once a month. This is a time for "YOU" We bring in Fazzari's and chocolate. We have a room full of tables and lots of chatter to help you keep going. This is a time to pack it up and escape the house. Leave the dishes, laundry and the child attached to your hip. Its a time to make a project, scrapbook a page or sometimes just sort pictures. Many have commented that they don't take time for themselves, let alone just walk away for a few hours.

I have found that after a late nite with 20 close friends...teehee... I am more thankful for my witty daughter and compassionate son. I have spent the nite bragging about them on my scrapbook pages, or laughing about how funny our dogs are... I have taken time to be thankful that I have great kids who are NOT dealing drugs or living on the streets. By the time I turn off the lights I am ready to go home. I am thankful I have a home to go too and friends that reminded me just have good I have it.

I learned long ago that I needed some "Me" time and I imagine that if my family were honest they are grateful for sometime without me.

I hope you will join us. This month it is on the 14th from 5-11pm. If you can't make then then plan a nite with a few friends and run away for dinner. Do something for you. Call me and we can get a pedicure or just get out and get a Starbucks. You will be thankful you did.

Thanks Shauna for the reminder.
