Meeting Friends....

We had so much fun in Kansas City!

I got to meet one of my long time on-line friends Jamie and her mom Rose. They stopped by the booth and helped us tear down and then we decided to go out to dinner. What else whas there to order for an appitizer? Deep fried pickles of course!!! There were lots and laughs and giggles to be had by all.

I also want to offer a shout out for the ladies who helped tear down. You can tell by our "dirty hands", it was hard work but smiles were all the way around.. Thanks ladies!!

After getting home safely I am packing and planning for my next stop Sacramento, CA. Is the month over yet??

Kansas City.. Here I come!

Well my whirl wind month is starting! Tomorrow morning I am flying out to Kansas City to work the CKC there! I will be working with two awesome ladies, Tamara and Kim. I can't wait to see them.

I spent yesterday trying to get everyones Halloween costumes in order and trying to finish the laundry.

Yesterday I received a box that Santa Pickle had sent. Thanks Santa! I must have been really good!!

Wow! Rusty Pickle has some awesome new stuff out! Glitter, bling, new album shapes, shaped paper, new fonts on the alphabet stickers, I can't wait to play! Ohhhhhh........... this is going to be a long three weeks!!!!

and now for HALLOWEEN!

Here is a fun Jumbo Card made just for you!

It is made using a 12 x 12 chipboard album cover from Rusty Pickle.

I used it in a card class that I taught and the ladies just loved it!

They came up with all sorts of ideas. If you had grandchildren you could place a picture of your child when they were little along side of one of your grandchildren's current halloween pictures.

You could also turn it into an on going album by inserting 6 x 12 pages and adding a yearly halloween photos into it. There are so many possibilities!

The weather is susposed to cool down a bit around here and it might even RAIN! Oh I love the rain... we get it so rarely!!

Well I am off to create before I leave for Kansas City next week!

Holidays?!

I have been working on a few things for the holidays. It is fast approaching and it gets me in the mood. I am ready for the hot weather to leave or for it to at least cool off a bit.

I am leaving next week to start a three week jaunt. I will be heading first to Kansas City. While I am there I hope to meet up with one of my good friends who I met online!

After that I will be off to Sacramento and then finally Ontario. Yes October will be a busy month for me. Until then enjoy these creations. I hope they get you in the mood for the holidays and the cooler weather!

The Usual

This sight is starting to become more frequent here lately. It seems like I have been on the go for the past few months.
After my last show in Chattanooga, TN, I stayed over and taught two classes.
My "All American" class was taught in KY. The ladies were awesome. We all had a lot of fun, I met some new ladies, and had a wonderful time together.
The next night I taught my "Fall-a Days" class at Scrappuccino in Greenbrier, TN. Lola and all of the ladies were just the greatest! We had a rocking class and the ladies were just the greatest! Thanks!!
I had another awesome trip. The show in Chattanooga was loads of fun thanks to Kathie and Tamara! You ladies rock!
I am back home to straighen up and get ready for another adventure. Next stop... Kansas City! Oh... and maybe sneek in some scrapping??!!!

Planning, and Packing

Wow! It has been busy around my house the past few days.

I have been busy kitting for classes in Kentucky and Tennessee,
trying to get the house caught up so I can leave and feel good about leaving it, and trying to finish up some projects that are due.

David's birthday is going to be while I am away, Hubbie's was the day I came back from San Diego, and it was the dog's birthday too.
We went out for dinner at a local steak house yesterday to celebrate. (no Max didn't go, but he did get the bones!)

I am getting excited about the classes I will be teaching. The "All American Kid" one is very special to me, as it is the one I entered when I tried out to become a Rusty Pickle Chef. I adore the "Fall-A-Days" Class. The rich warm colors make it a perfect book for the fall season that is upon us. If anyone is interesteed abouut taking the classes just email me!

It is going to be a whirl wind trip.. I can't wait to get started!

Back From San Diego!

Yep! That's me!

Wow! San Diego was fun! I was able to work with my two buddies Casey and Tracey..(Hey they rhyme!)

We had a blast as usual!

While I was there I stayed at Tracey's house. What a great family.

They were so gracious to have me! Thank's guys!

I came home and was tackled at the door by Max . (At least he missed me!) Now I am off to see what the next week will bring!
