LOVES to watch the family guy with his daddy....6. is the ONLY one of my kiddos that LOOKS like me...FINALLY ...having a boy is SO different than the girls... he has SO much energy to burn every day...and always has to be doing something...i am so grateful to be a mom to a boy...and i just LOVE him...even when he is a total turd in the morning trying to leave for school...( NOT a morning person at all) here are a couple of pics from yesterday...it was a BUSY day for me..between kids being sick in my house..me still trying to get better...evan not feeling well....fighting all the time with my oldest...{uggg} and doing my very best with polka dot whimsy...which right now i could strangle some of those companies...i really don't think they get it..i mean a store sometimes can wait for there stuff..but a kit club i am ON a schedule here people...and i order so far in advance that at times i just sit here and cry and shake my head..i don't understand it...anyone who knows me..KNOWS i am a huge people pleaser...HUGE! it sometimes gets the best of me....and with PDW i envision so much...that i get rattled when it is not going the way it is supposed to go...i just wish the companies could see that...so all week so far i have been on the phone trying to fix the situation..and that itself is draining...and poor Evan he calls to check on me and i am a ball of tears...he is like oh no what now...and then there i go...on my rant about this scrapbook industry and the shipping problems that come from it....you would think by now that i would learn not to put so MUCH new new stuff in the kits as it always blows up on me...but what do you do... :) so there is my ranting ..not to bad...just really annoyed....so today wish me luck on my quest of these darn companies...well i hope your day turns out better than mine... :) :) and thanks for listening....

Hope you all feel better soon. Good luck with the companies. I've been watching Rachel Zoe Project on Bravo and they have the same shipping issues--just a load of crapola but hopefully it all works out.

Michelle,
Can I ask you a question?...
Why did you start PDW?
Did you do it because you had a dream?
You and I both know those companies are difficult to work with. They don't work for you, so they don't care if you don't get what you need on time.
You are an extremly smart women... order early and plan to get things in the next months kit. We won't know any different... things will be okay... I promise.
The dream is still inside of you... find it again... we see it... that's why we're still here.
Cheer up... you're the PDW Queen...and...we love you girly!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Seth!!!! Don't get upset over the delays, life is far tooo short to get so stressed over it. We know we'll get our stuff in the end and it will have all been worth it :)

Keep smiling :)

Michelle, No worries about PDW being late this month. I know you are doing your very best, and I greatly appreciate that! I shall sit, waiting patiently, until my delivery person arrives. I don't have time to work on the project this month anyway... I just LOVE getting the cute kit in the mail! Just focus on doing the best job you can given the circumstances.
