I had a conversation with my 5-year old son Logan last Friday that I didn’t think I was going to have for many years.  It went something like this…

 

Me:  Why are you so cranky?

Logan:  Because Gracie broke up with me today! (See picture below)

Me:  She broke up with you? (trying to suppress a giggle)

Logan:  She dumped me!  She decided she liked the other Logan better. (There is another Logan in his class).

Me:  Well I think you are way more handsome than the other Logan, honey.  But sometimes girls change their mind about who they like.

Logan:  But I want her to like me!

Me:  I’ll be your girlfriend, okay?

Logan:  Thanks, Mommy!

 

I had forgotten about the incident, but Logan brought it up Sunday night at bedtime snuggles.

 

Logan:  If Gracie decides to take me back tomorrow, then I’m going to have to break up with you Mommy.

Me:  (REALLY trying to suppress a giggle this time)  You’re going to break up with me?

Logan:  Only if Gracie decides she wants to go with me again.

Me:  So I’m your second choice, huh?

Logan:  Well…I’ll still be your boyfriend, Mommy.  If Gracie says she wants to be my girlfriend, I’ll just dump her.

Me:  If you’re going to be my boyfriend, are you going to be a good boyfriend? 

Logan:  Yep!

Me:  Are you going to do things like open my car door?

Logan:  Yes.

Me:  And hold the door open for me and help me with my chair?

Logan:  I’ll do those things.  But Mommy?

Me:  Yes, Honey?

Logan:  I’m not going to do your laundry.

 

It took everything I had not to laugh.  But I must be teaching him something right, if he thinks boyfriends do laundry! (My DH Tony is the laundry man in our house)  I’m good at a lot of things, but laundry isn’t one of them.

 

We have travel galore this week!  We have some general travel papers from Die Cuts with a View, lots of Ireland stuff and country kits from Latin-Oh. The full heat of summer is beginning and we have two beautiful summer collections:  Tide Pools from Creative Imaginations and a collection from Best Creation.  We also have many new styles of brads and eyelets from Eyelet Outlet. 

 

It’s been a while since I bragged on how great our SYT designers, Tiffany and Jill are, but they have created some fantastic diecuts this week.  It’s been so fulfilling to me to watch them stretch their creativity and strengthen their "creative muscles" each week.  Tiffany came up with a highway exit sign that we can customize with any name or saying you like and the zebra border die cut that Jill designed took my breath away when she showed it to me.  Click here to see all 212 items:  http://www.scrapyourtrip.com/62508.html

 

You’ve been asking for Bo-Bunny and we have six collections for pre-order this week:  Beachy Keen, Ella, Organic, Star Struck, Teen Chic and Xtreme Teen.  We also have two Narratives collections from Creative Imaginations:  Antique Cream and Bloom.  Lastly, we have two papers and a sticker that Reminisce designed to observe the flooding that has devasted the Midwest.  They are located in Iowa and their flagship retail store is currently under several feet of water.  Reminisce is donating all the proceeds from the sale of these papers to the American Red Cross and Scrap Your Trip will be donating all our proceeds as well.  The estimated ship date on these products is July 16, so if you need your other items sooner, please place them in a separate order.  Click here to see:  http://www.scrapyourtrip.com/remcibb.html.  Today is also the last day for Heidi Grace pre-order.  Click here to order:  http://www.scrapyourtrip.com/heidigrace.html.

 

As always, thanks for your business!
