This past weekend I was in jail! for scrapbooking! I went to a 16 hour crop in Aledo. It was held at The Slammer - a bed and breakfast in the former Mercer County Jail. I had such a good time hanging with a bunch of scrappers, drinking coffee (some of them are really into Monster drink) visiting, eating, trading techniques. This place was wonderful! We had lunch at a new restaurant downtown called The Livermore. It's owned by Maple City Candy Company. It was pretty good. Beautiful decor. Maybe we can check it out together.

The dining area is the actual jail cells and the tablecloths and curtain are an attractive black and white striping!

A facinating historial series on HBO - I highly recommend it.

Hi Girls! I'll be participating in the Race for the Cure this year and hope some of you will be able to join me. Innkeepers will be sponsoring a team right here in Galesburg with a one mile walk. Registration is this Saturday at Innkeepers from 8am-4pm. The team captain will pick up our packets and cool t-shirts in Peoria before the race. Detailed information will be available at Innkeepers. I plan on registering around 11:00 and my Mom is going to walk too! Come join us! Lets honor the women in our lives that have been touched by breast cancer.
