Rain, Rain Go Away …
May has been the month of rain! Never ending. It seems like most of the gals at ScrapStreet have been more than their fair share of rain!
We started off the month of May seeing Stars! It was the end of the 3rd Annual ScrapStreet Star competition and newcomer, Jackie Gallagher, held the umbrella while she accepted her new crown from last year’s winner Brianne! Not only did Jackie receive a wonderfully generous prize package, she also accepted a position on the ScrapStreet.com magazine pit crew!
Joining Jackie on the pit crew this year are: Lisa Peppers, Nicole Martel, Janis Woodstock, and Diana Brodeur. We are so excited that they agreed to join the team, we just know they will have a ton of new and wonderful things to share!
Okay, hold the phone, who the heck is writing this? I’m sleeping here! Move over, Rover and let somebody who actually has something fun to say at that keyboard!
First off, I’m not discounting the wonderful ladies mentioned above, but let’s show a little excitement here, shall we? WOO!HOO! While it may have been raining outside, it was smokin’ hot inside. The Star Competition sizzled right down to the wire and the outcome was so close that the judges literally singed off their eyebrows! The layouts, artwork, and articles were that hot!
And the editors of the magazine better have the fire department on hand when the next issue is released with all the new talent! I’m telling you, it’s gonna be a three alarm fire waiting to happen! Even if it is raining, we all know how the ScrapStreet gals feel about their firemen!
Even with all the rain some gardens did get planted and landscaping was accomplished. It seems as though Alabama has the best looking garden so far. Although I’m not really sure how that mail carrier is managing to get it all done. I hear tell now that she’s got a foot all wrapped up and is hobbling on crutches. And I don’t even want to tell you what I’m hearing about her arms! Lordy, somebody take that weed-whacker away from her already!
I have heard tell of some water-chasing game being played among our soon to be graduated from high school children. Not sure I followed how the game was being played, but it was played non-the-less.
A few of the most northern gals are still trying to warm up. If I were them I sure would be sick of that stupid white stuff that keeps floating down from the sky! Enough already. Make it stop! They need some golden sunshine! And don’t you southern gals get any funny ideas to rub in your glorious sunshine and hot weather, either. We don’t play that neener-neener-neener game at ScrapStreet. We just commiserate with each other and tell each other it will soon be over. At least that’s what we tell each other, what we think may be another story.
Have you figured out who’s writing this stinking article this month, cuz if you haven’t figured it out, I ain’t gonna be the one to tell you! A hint: think green, think trash can, think having a really bad day.
Thinking it will pretty soon be time for me to keep my head in my can. School will be letting out soon and there will be mayhem on the streets. Mass panic, I’m sure. Kids all hyped up, mothers trying to keep the kids occupied, and fathers just trying to stay out of the line of fire! Me, I’m staying in my can.
Unless my can gets picked up and taken camping. Camping I don’t mind. Camping means mud, dirt, worms, trash, sticky stuff all the stuff I love! And it seems that a few girls are into the whole camping thing. Heard stories of camp grounds under water even! Now that’s my kind of place!
And camping usually means bonfires. Although it seems that bonfires may not be limited to campgrounds, some of the ladies actually had bonfires in their neighborhoods! With stories and characters and fun even.
Not only do neighborhoods have bonfires, some neighborhoods even have neighbors. It seems that when there is a break in the rain, people actually come out of their houses! The gals on the streets have shared stories of near explosions, dog bites, construction, and walking. I don’t think these gals ever stop talking!
When they aren’t scrapbooking, a few ladies have taken a seat in front of a sewing machine and have gone nuts! Tote bags, mini tote bags and secret sister goodies have been zipped through several machines around the country. A special little bag was even given away as a prize for posting on a thread.
Some chick named “Gertie” has been spotted cleaning things up. CLEANING! She’d just better not get anywhere near my can. She can continue on her way cleaning up scrap rooms, toy rooms, sunrooms, bathrooms. Any room she’d like.
Well, that’s all you are going to get out of me. So, I’m headed back into my can and I’m telling you right now, whoever writes this crap next month, better make it fun, or I’m coming back. And I don’t want to come back!
