Hey Marisa~
I am sure that you can use their rooms when they aren't doing classses and stuff. I will have to call and get the info on that but I am all for meeting up and doing more scrapping. I am also not that great at it, but practice makes it better! I have gotten lazy lately, but will pick it back up for sure when Robert leaves for Iraq. I started scrapping in 2000 when Robert was away in Korea for a year and really enjoyed it. I figured that if I start some more pages and work on a "profile" book in scrapbook form, then that will be one step futher in my personal process. Like Colleen, I am also getting fidgety about picking an agency. I wanted the process to have started last week, but with Robert leaving I am going to have to be patient and wait like a good girl!

-- How do you like working with AA? I also have a huge packet of their info and they are still in the running since they are here in town. I haven't eliminated them 100%. I should look more into them too huh?

I think it would be great if we could all get together and start on some family pages that we can add to our profiles. Who cares if you stink? I am not that great either. I have about 15 pages done I think? Like I said, it has been awhile since I have broken out the scrap supplies (though I do have a lot of stuff in portable plastic rollaway drawers). Weekends work for me because I babysit in the AM and you are probably tired in the PM after working from teaching all day. Let us know!
I will speak to you girls later. Have to get ready and pick up a cake and decoration for Robert's B-Day Party. I am going to be taking him to the Texas and we are going bowling with the family. I had to lie to him and told him that everyone must have forgotten about his b-day so I would take him to the Texas to see a movie. It is going to be such as surprise because he LOVES to bowl!! Ok then! I'm outta here! Later!
Monica
