Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Clue to Jody's next group project!

The FUN Continued in the Crop Room

Okay, so the ladies were a little more camera-shy than the girls were... But we had a great time at the crop tonight! After a delicious dinner of stuffed chicken with a cranberry glaze, vegetables, salad, croissant rolls, and a yummy chocolate (of course!) cake, we had door prizes, sales, and tons of fun! Congratulations to Sarah, Nikki, and Missy on your winnings! Thank you to all who came. Don't miss out on the fun next week~ Call to save your spot.

What a FUN Night!!

Thank you to all of you who came to celebrate National Chocolate Day with us. We had so much fun today! The fun continued through to tonight, when we had not one, but TWO parties at the Alpha Kappa Scrappa Sorority House~ Allison rented the front of the house for her 10th birthday party (her second birthday party with us!)...

Just like the grown-ups, the girls were discussing their scrapping options...

...Hard at work.... The grown-ups wanted to see what the kids were working so hard on... so we had an impromptu scrapbook art show.

Happy Birthday Allison!

The Night before Christmas for Moms

It was the night before Christmas, when all thru the abode

Only one creature was stirring, and she was cleaning the commode.

The children were finally sleeping, all snug in their beds,

While visions of WII and Barbie, flipped through their heads.

The dad was snoring in front of the TV,

With a half-constructed bicycle on his knee.

So only the mom heard the reindeer hooves clatter,

Which made her sigh, "Now what's the matter?"

With toilet bowl brush still clutched in her hand,

She descended the stairs, and saw the old man.

He was covered with ashes and soot, which fell with a shrug.

"Oh great," muttered the mom, "Now I have to clean the rug."

"Ho-ho-ho!" cried Santa, "I'm glad you're awake.

"Your gift was especially difficult to make.

"Thanks, Santa, but all I want is some time alone.

"Exactly!" he chuckled, "I've made you a clone."

"A clone?" she asked, "What good is that?

Run along, Santa, I've no time for chit-chat.

"The mother's twin. Same hair, same eyes,Same double chin.
"She'll cook, she'll dust," She'll mop every mess.

You'll relax, take it easy, Watch The Young & the Restless."

"Fantastic!" the mom cheered. "My dream come true!

"I'll shop. I'll read., I'll sleep a whole night through! "

From the room above, the youngest began to fret.

"Mommy?! I scared... and I am wet.

"The clone replied, "I'm coming, sweetheart."

"Hey," the mom smiled, "She knows her part."

The clone changed the small one, and hummed a tune,

as she bundled the child, in a blanket cocoon."You the best mommy ever. "

I really love you."The clone smiled and sighed, "I love you, too."

The mom frowned and said, "Sorry, Santa, no deal.

"That's my child's love, she's trying to steal.

"Smiling wisely Santa said, "To me it is clear,

"Only one loving mother, is needed here."

The mom kissed her child, and tucked her into bed.

"Thank you, Santa, for clearing my head.

I sometimes forget, it won't be very long,

When they'll be too old, for my cradle-song."

The clock on the mantle began to chime.

Santa whispered to the clone, "It works every time."

With the clone by his side Santa said,

"Goodnight. Merry Christmas, Mom, You'll be all right."
