Yesterday afternoon my sister dropped on her 12 year old daughter to scrap for 45 minutes???. Of course we only got the pictures scanned and printed before my sister was back to pick her up. She said she would drop her off this morning and my niece arrived here at 10:30am having already gone to the YMCA for karate lessons at 9am. I selected the papers and made up a couple of diecuts for her to use last night. My sister returned to pick her up at noon time and was a bit upset that we only completed one single page layout in an hour and a half. My niece had to cut mats (her first time using perfect layers), cut flower tags with the sizzix and then cut out the letters she wanted to use with the sizzix and then put it all together. Then she had to punch holes and she used pink flower eyelets to attach the tags. This was her first time setting eyelets as well as using the sizzix on her own. I thought we got alot done!
As she was pulling away she said well I'm glad you have the time to play all day but I have things to do. I went in laughing, she runs around like a chicken with her head cut because she choses to do so. She signs her kids up for 10 things a day and is always running here and there instead of just letting her kids enjoy their summer. My niece told me that she is exhausted, she has cheerleading at 12:30 then she has to go to the mall to get her friend a birthday present, then she has some ranger program at the local nature center and then she has softball practice and then she has to come home and get a shower to go to a sleepover. Her son has football practice, the ranger program and then he gets to go to the field to watch softball practice and then she promised to take him and his friend to play laser tag when his sister goes to the party. This kind of stuff goes on all day long all summer long.
Oh well, I am going outside to lay by the pool and work on my tan now LOL.
