Having
a great summer so far? I have been trying to get some R&R in, between
taking the kids to various activities. With so many fun summer things to
do each day it's easy to get busy! My kids favorite thing to do is swim at
the Rosemeade Pool, but they don't get to go as often as they'd like. The
reason is my two oldest kids like to swim in the big pool, while my 3 year
old prefers the baby pool. There is a fence in the middle so you can't do
both. We either have to go when another adult can come or just pick one pool
and then not all the kids are happy and I have to hear them whining about
it the whole time. Some fun, huh! In an effort to appease them I have purchased
one of those "family size" blow up pools (one of our friends has one so it
met with the kids approval). Although you can't really "swim" in one of those
things I am hoping it will be sufficient, or at least tide them over until
we can go to one of the CECPTA pool parties. Each of the summer socials is
hosted by someone who has a pool, and in August, Amy has planned an "Invite-a-Friend"
pool party. There are plenty of other fun get-togethers planned as well so
be sure to mark your calendar. I hope to see you all there! Until then, I'll
be in my backyard, floating in the blow up pool.

The
next crop date at The Scrapbook Barn is Friday, July 11. The crop time is
6:00pm-12:00 midnight! Remember, it's not a private crop so call them soon
to reserve a spot! It's a fun place to crop and the supplies you might need
are right at your fingertips AND you get a 10% discount on everything you
purchase that night! It's also a great way to get "motivated". At the last
crop I did 9 pages! August's date is Saturday August 16th and September's
date is Saturday, September 13th. Same time as the July crop. Give them a
call (972) 418-8600. Hope to see you there!
Board Position Open
Calling all Party Girls!
2nd VP Kimilee Pelham has had to resign from her position due to work obligations.
We need a new party planner! The job will be pretty easy this year since
the CECPTA has MANY decorations from previous years and crafts that are already
cut and ready to be used. This person would need to coordinate the location
of the parties (such as the library, the church or a park) and sign up sheets
for party refreshments and help with games if necessary. Please let me know
if you are interested in this fun job!
