So I’ve found that I’m really good at the personal assistant gig. I’m talking about my job as Denny’s personal assistant. Yeesh, I ran all over town today for him, scheduled his appointments, served his dinner and washed, folded and put away his clothes. What kind of racket is that?!?! And I wonder why I don’t have time to scrapbook.
I was at Scrap Palace last night for this jewelry party. Not the kind where you spend money, but the kind where you make it. People came with old gold, (Pierina and Amy know TONS of people I swear), and they sell off their old stuff in exchange for cash. At any rate, I swore I didn’t have anything as I don’t wear gold, but I found some stuff hiding here and there. Well I made $76.00, so that was more than I started the day with, and I’m pretty happy with that.
I won’t tell you how much the rest of them made, but HOLY COW. Shocking. Just shocking.
Not much else really going on here. I have a class I’m enrolled in right now with Pam Sandy at My Creative Classroom. Its an acrylic thingy. Class started Monday but I haven’t really had time to sit down and get moving on it. I have the kit, lol, so thats one step in a positive direction I guess. I’m planning to give it as a gift. We’ll see. I almost always do some kind of scrapbooking related gifts for the people I give gifts to. I have no idea who gets what until I’m finished. I have a rating system… how much will so and so appreciate the hours this took me… kind of rating system. One year I did full albums for everyone. Seriously, full albums. I was still working on them Christmas day. Anyway I gave one of them to someone we’ll call Mrs. X, (I’m using an alias to protect the names of the obnoxious). She opens it and says to a related Mr. X, “Oh look, this is what Jennifer does all day!” WHAT?!?! All I could think was, :Seriously, did she just say that?” From that day forward the rating system came into play. For obvious reasons.

Just had to comment on the gold party. I had just heard about them a few weeks ago and hosted one myself last night. Just as the hostess I made over $300! Holy Cow this stuff is hot! I knew gold was up but had no idea how much. Just make sure if you attend one, that you get a reputable jeweler who is paying a fair rate. I’ve heard of some lowlifes low-balling people.
Don’t you just love being a personal assistant? My mom’s mine.. but I’m most certainly my boyfriends… funny how that works! I’ve never done a jewelry party, I’m more into purses myself, but that sounds like fun… not to mention good money!
P.s For the card class online you are the messages printed out on card stock.. where did you get the cute fonts/ pictures? Did you use a program or find them online?
Hi Sarah! To answer your question the messages are printed out on cardstock. I would suggest you use a lighter weight so that it runs through your printer ok. I use a laser a lot and it doesn’t seem to have an issue, but my ink jet doesn’t like certain colors. I can’t print on the one particular orange using my ink jet… weird huh?
The fonts are ones either I’ve paid for or that I’ve found online. If you are looking for a particular one used on a sentiment email me and I’ll send it over to you!
FYI, I’m into purses too, lol. And I’m on the hunt for a new one if you have a good source.
Kids teachers…low rating, except one that I know loves and needs them…
“Tie Blankets”….do I thnk they will use them….and APPRECIATE them???
Rating systems!! They ROCK!
