Life of a Superhero

Normally, I am a mild mannered woman, wife, mother and laundry workhorse. However, you may not know that I have an alter ego. When exposed to the awesome scrapbooking spirit and energy of CKU (Creating Keepsakes University) last month, I transformed into a scrapbooking superhero, a member of the League of Super Scrappers... I am...Rub-On!

(As in Bradman & Rub-On... get it? Like Batman & Robin, but scrapbooking-related? Get it now? Sigh.)

My friends and I formed a "dorm" for CKU. (OK, for the non-scrapbookers out there, CKU is a scrapbooking event that includes three days of classes, vendors and scrapbooking sessions. CKUs are held in various places around the country a few times a year; this was my first one, and I was psyched!)

Back to our dorm and my super powers. As I mentioned, we were the League of Super Scrappers - Bradman & Rub-On, The Embellisher, Wordy Woman, Maximum Exposure & Glue Gal. We submitted a song for the dorm song contest, and were selected to perform at CKU. (Yay! We were SO excited!) We put a lot of time and energy into our costumes and choreography (yes, we had choreography) and had the best time getting ready for the performance.

And... drum roll... we WON! We won the song contest and got a standing ovation and thunderous applause (well, at least it sounded thunderous to us). We felt like total rock stars! We were even asked to pose for pictures! Wow - that 15 minutes of fame is a total rush. Even better than singing in the cruise ship talent show (yep, did that too).

All of this backstory (whew) just to tell you that a video of our performance is on YouTube! Now, it isn't flattering, but it is fun, so if you're interested, check it out. And have a super day!
