Larry and I just got back from a long weekend away. I took him away for his birthday. This was the first time we left the kids on their own. I was nervous but they did great! Well, at least the house was still standing when we got home last night!
We saw all 7 of our grandchildren, met our new daughter-in-law Nicole, had lunch and dinner with some dear friends, went to the Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point and saw the sights in Salt Lake City. A funny story...... we used our frequent flyer mileage to pay for everything, the hotel, car and airline tickets. So because of that we could have any car we wanted. I thought it would be fun to rent a Hummer. Then I started to think that was a bit too ostentatious. So at the last minute we changed to a convertible. I thought that would be fun but not too overboard, you know what I mean? Well, imagine our shock, when at 11:30 p.m. we went to get our car and found this bright orange/yellow mustang convertible! LOL! We were too tired to change cars so off we went in this bright orange/yellow convertible! Boy did we get the looks. When we checked into our hotel in downtown Salt Lake I told my husband that everyone thought this young hip couple was going to get out of the car and instead they got an older man (Larry) and his trophy wife (me!) LOL!
Good news! UPS just delivered the new Tim Holtz / Ranger Crackle Paints. We'll get those on the site as soon as possible!
Have a great evening!
First off, I'm so excited to get a blog! Welcome to my readers!
Last Friday Larry was out of town so I invited some friends and customers over to celebrate World Cardmaking Day. I had them bring all sorts of yummy food and I provided everything to make a bunch of cards! Memory Box and Hero Arts were too generous for words! There were 10 of us (not including babies!) and we made 98 cards before the stroke of midnight! Here's a picture of all of us with our creations! (Sorry Natalie - the photo that actually showed all of your beautiful pregnant self was too blurry!)
And here's a close up picture of the table o' cards!
We brought out some boxes of goodies from the warehouse and about once an hour we'd take a break and let everyone dive into a box and see what goodies they could find! It was great fun!
The rowdy crowd (you know who you are......Susan and Marcia!) dispersed about midnight. I think we could have stamped all night though, if we'd have had a bit of caffeine! See ya all in January! We'll have all the new Hero Arts and some more Memory Box goodies then!
