Yay!! I'm so excited I can hardly keep myself from jumping up and down! This weekend I finally put myself on a waiting list for a camera. I've ordered the Nikon D-80 with the 18-200 mm VR lens. The wait is really getting to me though and its only been a few days! Apparently this camera doesn't start shipping until September 15... and with the usual short supply of Nikon, this could mean an even longer wait. The good news is that I'm first on the waiting list for the camera (I think), and third for the lens. Now all I need is a good class so I can learn how to use it!!!!

The Open House was this weekend also. No news on this front. Apparently there was lots of interest and almost 30 groups of people coming through, however no offer... Our realtor remains optimistic though and ensures us that we are not priced too high. Tomorrow there is a realtor's tour in the morning and a showing in the afternoon. It's not easy to keep a house clean and keep packing up the kids for outings. Pray that our house will sell soon!

Haven't been too busy with scrapbooking. The house has been a big priority for us. I am however, looking forward to fall. I'll be going to the Creating Keepsakes convention in Bellevue (Seattle) and staying there for 3 whole sleeps! Jen, my SIL, will be going with me so it'll be a great bonding time. We'll also be meeting fellow scrapbooking friends from Lovebug, and having a grand ole girly time! I REALLY can't wait for this!! ...and I'd better have my new camera by then....

Also in November is the Ali Edwards classes at PE. I've signed up for her 2 album classes. Sonja and Anna will be there too, so it'll be another Lovebug Party!

AND... October 21st is the Lovebug Crop.... and these are always sooo much fun!

I see lots of Scrapbooking in my future!!!

Today's devotion: Matthew 11
Verse 29: Not even a sparow, worth only half a penny, can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it 30: And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. 31: So don't be afraid; you are more valuable to him than a whole flock of sparrows.

Verse 32: If anyone acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will openly acknowledge that person before my Father in heaven 33: But if anyone denies me here on earth, I will deny that person before my Father in heaven.
