Shop Remember When...

Good morning everyone! Summer is in full swing here in Texas! It was 103 yesterday and is going to be HOT again today! I will be inside.

I have some good news! Willy and I are making new friends and I know all of this sitting will pay off. Willy doesn't think so... I will let you all know how thing turn out.

Yours truly, Remi

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Seems like life works well that way.

Have any of you noticed that much like everything else in life, scrapbooking is cyclical?  What was once in, went out, and what was out, is “in” again.  Have you noticed any “old trends” becoming “new” again?  I know I have.  I’ve noticed that people are starting to break away (albeit slowly) from the one pic per page layouts.  Those pages that we ogled in the past, with their $50 in embellishments and the lone pic are becoming a thing of the past, though I suspect that the trend will be coming around….again.

I know that in the past, stickers were “en vogue”.  Then they fell out of everyone’s good graces.  Now, I see more and more stickers being put out by companies to coordinate with their “lines”.  I was never a big fan of stickers in the past, but I’m giving them a go this time around.

Stamping on layouts was something I used to do, then I suddenly stopped.  Now, I’m starting to do it once again, especially with the discovery of those wonderful Copic markers.

So, are there any trends that you see returning?  Do you still have some of the stuff in your “stash” that you’ll go digging up once again?  Do you even follow trends?

What are your thoughts?

1 die many choices

Time to grab your dies and think out of the box :-) I took the Star Burst Die (http://www.shoprememberwhen.com/catalog/item/4008966/6828728.htm) and used the cloud to make a tree and a cupcake!!!! Come on peeps lets see what else we can come up with. Thanks and have fun - Kathy   CUPCAKE: To make the cupcake just cut the "cloud" in a light beige color and cut a square in pink. Round the edges of the square for the bottom of the cupcake and place the cloud on top for the top of the square. Your cupcake is complete :-) TREE: To make the tree cut the "cloud" in green and cut a triangle shape in brown. The triangle shape will become the trunk of the tree. Place the cloud on top of the triangle shape and your tree is complete :D

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!

Please be happy and safe!

Willy and I were just sitting around being fabulous thinking about all of the fun we have had and all the fun we are going to have this summer. It is so hot in Texas during the summer. lucky for us there is a public pool I am allowed to go to and sometimes we just turn the water hose on each other. We saw this thing that looks like a big piece of plastic that you get wet and then slide on. It looks like a lot of fun, however if I was to run and throw myself down this piece of plastic... will that not hurt? And what if you hit a dry spot? Now I am think about it, I do not believe that will be fun at all. The people on TV sure make it look like crazy fun.

This morning we went up to the Dairy Queen to eat breakfast. Now every time I go to the Dairy Queen I think about a joke Kim told me. You should ask her about it sometime. I will not post it here. It was good I giggled. Anyway I was so messy by the time I got back to the store. It looked like I had just thrown all my food down on the floor and then rolled on it.

The 4th is almost here!!

Yours truly, Remi

IT IS SUMMER TIME!!! And the 4th of July is almost here! I can hardly wait!! Willy and I have been invited to a swinging good party. We love to watch the fireworks. Although one time when we were at a fireworks show (our first)  we thought people were shooting at us and I had wrapped myself around Willy's neck like a mink stole. Now we know what to expect. We had thought about popping some of our own, but then you see on TV where people have lost fingers and hands. We have decided we are quite found of our appendages thank you very much!

And in a few short hours (ok really one) the retreat will be open to everyone to sign up. I had such a great time at the last one. That is such an understatement. I really thought I might blow into confetti waiting for it to get here. Everyone was so nice. And to finally put a face to a name! I heard from a little bird that there were not many seats left.

Speaking of Willy have you seen my man in his new clothes?! I think he looks very handsome. Our good friend, Karry, made the clothes for Willy. I thought that was awful nice of her to do that. Karry put a lot of time in to making the perfect fit.  So now I think I will start calling him SEXY BEAST. Here it is at bed time and he is still looking at himself in the mirror. I am a bit jealous though. Willy even has his name on the back of his belt. You can not get any more cowboy than that. I did notice he was practicing his John Wayne walk. I think he almost has it down. We have seen the Bird Cage enough to know what not to do.

Here he is live and in person PACO WILLY...

Yours truly, Remi

WOW!! things are starting to get back to normal again. But I really do miss everyone and I hope everyone will get to come for the next. I did not realize at the time that I did not post a picture of the horse nappers  Hot Mamas in my last post.  they were really good to me. they let me do what ever I wanted. I usually do anyway, and it is not as much fun when you a permitted to act like a complete animal.

Yours truly, Remi

P.S. Here is a picture of me and Jason kissing in the pool.

WOW!! I have just about recharged my batteries from this EXTREMELY fun weekend. I don't think I have ever had that much fun! There was a lots of good food and great company. I just can not tell you enough how great the weekend was. I wish everyone could have been there.

I hope ya'll want to look at some pictures!

I hope I did not forget anyone. I Think everyone had a great time and as you can see I had my picture madewith EVERYONE! I hope Sherri will do this again. It was awesome and the gift bags and all of the extras and "classes". I had heard a few people say that SRW retreat kicked in the teeth of other retreats. 

I need a nap.

Yours truly, Remi
