Well, I did not make the DT at We Scrap :( Pretty bummed, but I really did not think it was a possibility for me to begin with, so I bounced back quickly. I really wanted to overcome my fear and try. I did just that and am proud. It cut into my ABC Crop time and it does not look like I will get all of my stuff loaded into the gallery by cut off time. No worries though, because I will still put them on my blog.

Going to the Penguins hockey game with my hubby, mom and friends. We are going to dinner as well. Perfect activity for cheering me up. I had a not so great day at work yesterday because I stayed up until after 1:30am trying to get my submission in before the deadline. I get up at 4:30am. Then, I got my period towards the end of my 10 hour shift...TMI, I know, but ugh....what a day :( Will share photos later :)

Have a great weekend!
