OK, here it is the page I promised. So I still didn't journal it yet, but the nitty gritty is last year I had two retreats in a row. This year we are just doing the one at the 2cnd page location. The Library in Northfield, VT. It has great chairs, lighting, tables and a full kitchen that we can use. The first page was at the comfort in and we out grew that spot. We did however rent the VIP room and enjoyed the hot tub. Pretty funny shot of me in my lilac celtics hat. The dates that we were there were November 10th and 11th 2006 and November 17th and 18th. We sure did have a great time, but I would never recommend doing events back to back like that. Thank you everyone who gave me permission to post your picture, Looking forward to this year its almost a month away now!

Fall Frenzy special ending, Free shipping ending tonight at 10 pm

The Holiday Mini Collection is here!

The Holiday Mini Collection is here and it's FABULOUS! The new sets and accessories are sure to excite you just like they excite me! And one of the BEST things about ALL of the sets in this Holiday Mini Catalog??? They're ALL die-cut! You don't have to trim a thing! Talk about making the holidays even EASIER!

a technique I would like to do a class on

This is a fun thing to do with pearl ex. Its a little messy but fun. I have all the pearl ex packs that were retired out of the stampin up catalog this past July. I really need to get using them so I can justify buying them. You need elmers glue, pearl ex and a heat gun. The copper paper goes real nice with this too. I am going to try this technique with some blues and snowflakes for a Christmas card. I hope to post that in a few days. Also I am working on a scrapbook page of my retreat last year. Its almost done. Have journaling and title to do then it will done. Got most everyones permission to post it here. So keep checking back. Feel free to leave comments. :)

New Blog, hoping this one is more user friendly

Ok, here is a page I completed I wanted to show all of you the wonderful new in color that just came out in July. Its call Wild Wasabi and its our new textured paper.

If anyone needs any inspiration or help getting started scrapbooking or making a card one of my most favorite things of all time is making that first project with someone and watching them get excited. a quote I love to hear is "I can't belive I made that!"
