April Fools!! (ok, not, but I wish!!)

My six yr old son and I bought a plastic spider that looks pretty real. My husband is deathly afraid of spiders…we put it in the bathroom sink last night…This morning we heard some cuss words, ekk…April fools…we got him good!

LOVE LOVE LOVE your 365 pages! I often have to change them…to fit my stuff and that is why I will buy yours and only yours for the next year…I CAN change them (move the pictures, move the numbers, remove an element, whatever…). Thank you for making this SO SIMPLE! Sorry, no big April FOols story…except I suck and forgot my kids baseball game tonight…sigh. Kathy

My computer geek son set my desktop background to look like a broken computer screen. I was totally freaked out until I realized it was only the background!

Well, I got on Facebook and found out my 21yo son is engaged to Esther. This was particularly a surprise because I’ve never heard him mention Esther. As it turns out, he was surprised, too. Later he realized he’d had Facebook open when he walked out of the room, where he was studying with some girls. He figured out what had happened when he started getting congratulations from other friends.

My middle son was born on April 1, 2002. And it’s a perfect birthday for him, with his personality. Not too many people believe him when he says it’s his birthday.

I am not an April Fool’s kind of person so no stories here. I rather focus on Easter.

Love the April Collection. I didn’t do any April’s Fools today. My daughter did one. She said “Mommy, Daddy, there’s a squirrel on the bird feeder!” We always try to shoo them off. Of course, there wasn’t any today.

The purples are REALLY cute in this! (That’s no April Fools! LOL!)
I found a fun maze online that has no solution. I gave a copy to my boys – 7 and 9 – and told them whoever got done first didn’t have to do the dishes and would win $5. It was fun to watch them hurry to complete it and watch their faces as they realized you couldn’t complete it! Good spirited fun! 🙂

I completely forgot about it which was probably a good thing. Thanks for a chance to win.

oh…. the joke was, that yesterday Len came up to us at work and with a dead-pan face said that Monday’s holiday was cancelled but we were all on the ball. Gotta get up earlier than that!

I am the BFF in this story… it’s short but hilarious!

My 6 year old son said, mom I broke the garage. Giggles to what he thinks is himself and then says April Fools. We have never talked about April Fools (long, deep-rooted dislike of practical jokes – I am considering therapy). Where do they pick this stuff up. Too funny!

Sorry, I’m not good at telling jokes, but just wanted to comment on the new April goodies. Love the purples! A nice refreshing change in the color scheme…haven’t seen it in a while. Would love to win it!

Love the colors this month.
No jokes here, we had a peacefull day here

A Dutch digiscrapsite (digiscrap.nl)had a great joke yesterday! In the newsletter they announced that they had a freebie made exclusive for the Dutch digiscrapsite by Vinnie Pearce herself! It would be valuable for just one day, so you had to go and get it quickly…..so I rushed over there to get it and many other woman with me did that….

Off course it appeared to be a joke. They had me I can tell you!!
Great joke!!

I was on my way home from a business trip yesterday and I called my daughter and told her I had to extend my trip and wouldn’t be home until the next day. When I walked into the house and said “April Fools” she was very surprised.

I told my three kids (3, 5, and 7) that we were going to Lowe’s Sheeptastic Cafeteria that serves only mutton and vegetables. They were quite relieved when we pulled into Pizza Hut’s parking lot. 🙂 That morning, I had also convinced my 7-yr-old that it was NOT April Fools Day.

Not one joke played this year. But it is no joke that I would love to win the prize!

We don’t do April Fool’s day stuff, so I can’t tell ya a story, but I did want to say that April’s kit is beautiful!! Love the springy colors this month.

I love the new kit. I cannot wait to get it. I was like a kid at Christmas thinking the shoppe would be up this morning. Thank you for posting the preview. As for April Fools I made Jello in the pitcher my husband makes his Kool-aid in, but I gave it away because I was so excited. I also made meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato icing. My brother fell for both jokes but no one else did. Thank You

Love the new kit! We had fake spaghetti & maltballs for supper last night. The kids LOVED it. My daughter thought the spaghetti looked “weird” but didn’t realize the joke until she took a bite. The kids spent the whole day on the lookout for spiders (which was their favorite joke to play).

My husband sent our 6-yr-old daughter a text message (via my phone) saying her favorite children’s museum was closing permanently on Saturday. she instantly burst into tears already counting all the things they would miss seeing. I had her call her daddy to discuss it with him. After hearing the saga for a few minutes himself, he confessed, “April Fool’s”. She almost instantly dried her tears and gave him a laugh, saying, “Good one dad!” (this is the girl that went to bed in tears last year because no one had played a trick on here. Oh my!)
Thanks Gina. Love the new PURPLE goodies. My favorite!!

I drive a school bus and my kids are always playing jokes on each other so I thought I would get them too. I had our assistant principle come out to the bus at the end of school, put the bus on silent and tell them they all had to write 50 sentences for being so loud on the bus. She walked off and I started my route. At the first stop, I stood up like I was discipline someone and mentioned the 50 sentences and then shouted “April Fools”! You should have seen the relief on their faces!

My story started with trying to get into a movie date with my nephew. We got delayed getting into where he lives (a few cities away) because I had to call the police to report a found ‘suspect weapon’ that they were looking for in a stabbing death of a teen a few days ago in my city. I couldn’t ignore it, even if it turns out not to be the knife they need, I would rather have them collect it and find that than not call it in and it had been the knife they were looking for. Then while driving along the highway not far from our exit to my nephew’s, there was a 4 car accident where one SUV ended up on its roof and there were kids inside it. My husband and I stopped to help and I held the younger child until paramedics got there. I finally got to my nephew’s (he’s 8) and we went and some dinner, then saw ‘how to train a dragon’ and I brought him home. We ended up seeing the movie showing after the one I originally wanted, but it was worth if for being able to help out like I did. The reason this is a ‘april’s fools day’ experience, is the universe was working in the favour of me being in these places because I had originally planned to head into Toronto with my Father who works near my house, and that was changed almost last minute to go in with my husband. Had I stayed with the original plan, I would missed all of that.

You April products are beautiful, purple is a colour I am drawn to and you use it so well.

I tried explaining the concept of April’s Fools Day to my 4 year old – but didn’t think he was getting it. Then he came running into the room ‘crying’ at 6:30 yesterday morning, telling daddy “I pooped in my bed, I pooped in my bed”. Daddy, reluctantly, crawled out to bed to address the problem and I hear Tyler yell from the living room “DADDY FOOLS!” Close enough 😀

What a great preview!!!
I really LOVE the new kit.
It’s in my favorite colours.
Thank you sooo muc, Gina!!!

Good luck with the shop!! I can#t wait to get this stuff. 😉

Hugs,
Sabsy

Lovely new kits, can’t wait to use them. A few years back we went to a wedding on April 1st… I thought that was a bit crazy, but at least it was in the afternoon 🙂

Best wishes,
Melissa

The day before I was born on April 2(toay…WOOHOO), my Mom went into labor on April Fools Day and REFUSED to leave for the hospital until after midnight. She told my Dad Aprils’ Fool until she couldn’t stand it anymore and had to admit it, for fear I would be born that day. She made my dad watch Johnny Carson, until it went off playing it safe, LOL! That evening show had Bridgette Bardot on, so my Dad did not mind so much, he said. So I ended up with the first name Brigette as well….hahahaha! Ove the new kit! Thanks for the chance to pick up more fabulous W&W goodies!

Gorgeous kit!

Let’s see…. I haven’t done any April Fools gags in years, but I do remember one year as a kid – my brother and I “made coffee” for our mom. It was water and a bunch of food coloring mixed in. We were so tickled with ourselves and giggled the entire time, even while carrying it carefully up to her, saying “Mom, we [giggle, giggle] made some coffee [giggle, giggle] for you!”. Knowing full well it wasn’t really coffee, she played along, pretending to drink it and be surprised by it, letting us have our glorious moment to declare “April Fools!” [giggle, giggle, full on laughter!]

I was so excited when I got the email saying that I won. Thank you so much. I cannot wait to start making my pages. Purple is my favorite color. Thank you again. I have had so much fun working on this project.
