YAY!!!!!!!!! we're hOme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hondachicc]

I can not speak for you all..........but I am soooooo happy to be hOme!!!!

So what has everyone been up this week!!!!!?????

I mean REALLY?? how does one cope without their daily dose of the "O"???

For me....it's been mostly about wedding stuff for my step daughter. So I was busier than usual and kept me a bit pre occupied at times...The wedding was yesterday and was fabulous!!!

besides the 47 times a day I checked here to see if it was up, I played more on facebook than I normally do....

I wanna hear what you girlies were doing?? and tell the truth...you were checking 47 times a day too, weren't you???:rofl:

 

[LaurieW]

every morning before work and every night after work- still working on getting back up to par after the EHD crash- but- my camera came back early- got it yesterday!!

 

[terese]

so good to be at home again *heart*

 

[LaughingSun]

yep, I totally checked all the time lol.

I actually had work so I've been doing that lol... and checked whenever I took a break lol. I actually made $$ this week instead of spending it all hehe.

 

[LSlycord]

Oh my goodness...I was heartsick! I had only just gotten back to the O after way too much time away! And then I just get back and I couldn't connect...ugh!!!

This week was the normal chaos. Gymnastics classes, Vacation Bible School, swimming, baseball, etc. Oh...and lest I forget what pays the bills...work! But I still had some time for the O! Looking forward to some time in the gallery this week. (Keeping my fingers crossed there.)

 

[Ellen]

well I did check a few times I will admit

and in between that I suddenly found time to make some real cards

 

[Bush Girl]

I too checked in, well, lots of times every day - that makes me sound really sad! I've been incredibly busy with the run up to the end of the school year which FINALLY happens on Tuesday so only 2 more action packed days to go (only official duties left: welcome in the new parents for next year, uniform sale, then full stock take of uniform, we're only a small school but you wouldn't believe the mess it can get into).

I can't even say I've done any scrapping - which is pathetic really, but I've been so busy with school that I haven't had time to think. I have, however, been doing another Shimelle Laine class - look her up, Ella Publishing has her down as one of the most influential scrappers today, along with Stacy J, Cathy Z et al. She's HUGE in the UK, although she's actually American, but we've adopted her as our own - and you can't have her back :thumb:!!

 

[katg1006]

Oh my...Oh my...OH MY!!!!!!! I am sooooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (((Hugs)))) Welcome hOme everyone!!!!! I've missed you all!

A big thanks to our Mama O Vicki for all her hardwork to get us home!!! ((hugs))

 

[mrstoa]

Talk about hOmesick I was lost - and if I hadn't been able to communicate with a few by Facebook - don't know where I would have gone.

It's so GOOD to me HOME at the "O"

luv you guys and did soooooo miss you

thanks to Vicki et al who got us back home!

 

[petey111]

I had a very busy week. Thank goodness. I still checked a lot, but it was easier because of the week...oh and the power outage.

 

[kym]

I'm glad the forum is up and running again! I was actually busy this week taking a class. So all my extra time went to playing catch up. I can't wait to see the layouts that everyone has piled up for the gallery. The gallery will be bursting at the seams when it reopens.

 

[Madi]

well. I've been enjoying the great weather here in my beach chair!!
and in the evening I am fighting with Maya over who gets to use the laptop!

or in 1 word: V A C A T I O N !!!!

 

[helenh]

[wombat146]

[VickiStegall]

I agree, Ona, I love reading what everyone was doing too!

I spent a rather busy and, erm.... stressful week. But, to de-stress and give my brain a little break from servers and site code and all that jazz, I actually did some.... wait for it.... actual designing!!!!!!!! and it felt GOOD! I should have a new kit soon - like a full on, actual kit

Holey Moley!!! that's the best news ever!!! Thanks, vicki for all of your hard work to get our home back!!

I have to admit that my google chrome home page is the O Forum, so I was hitting that page every day about 100 kajillion times!! LOL!! sheep2

but, I was also totally ensconced with the fact that my baby girl (yep, you know her better as LAINEBEAN... or cora) TURNED 16!!! OMG>..i'm not old enough for that!!

We had a whole week of festivities!! So I barely blogged, sewed, scrapped, or digi designed!! But I'm refreshed and ready to go this week!! yipeee!!

You know how to know this?? My very sweet and adorable 6 yo grandson told me this week (and you have to remember that a compliment is something this boy does not hand out lightly) told me that I was the best NANA ever!!!! Makes my heart melt!!!

[helenh]

WTG on the designing Vicki!

 

[lillimou]

:cheer2:YaY!! So happy the forum is back up!! Yes I was checking up pretty much every time I logged in during the day. Which is pretty much all day, LoL.::becky:

 

[clarabear]

Even though I have been remiss (loving this word) I have been quite the stalker and I have missed so much seeing what everyone is doing. I was so glad to log in finally and see the forums up. i so wish I could post in here by cell phone. I'd totally skip out on FB and just visit with you guys. I'm glad to be back to stalking my favorite people ever.

 

[helenh]

I hear ya Clara!

Balm to my weary soul!

 

[SueCummings]

I have missed y'all. Everything here at the O went down right before I left on vacation...and so now I'm in vacation mode! Be back next week full tilt! And watch out cuz I've been supercharged with creativity! Every time I go near large bodies of water I simply feel the juices start flowing again!

So happy to have the forum back and running!
xoxoxo Sue

 

[wombat146]
