SUPER STORE SATURDAY

I know its late but I just had to tell you that we had a GREAT day at the store. The ladies in Wendy's Denami class had a great time making gorgeous cards Wendy keeps the class moving and even cleans every stamp. She is a great girl, we are so lucky to have someone like her in our studio a few times a year.

Then we moved right into our crop. It was great having Patti O and Melissa there. I haven't gotten to see them much this summer and they are just GREAT all around girls. They love their kids, they are passionate about what they do and just a lot of fun. My table was a hoot, with Jean, Breada, Traci and Holly. Brenda and Jean took Traci under their wing and helped her make a darling picture frame and mini albums. My mom's table was Erin and Bethany and Tami Sue. What a crew, ask my mom about the new product we got from Beacon...she has a whole new use in mind for it. :)

Kelly and Gina spent the day with me and Kelly bought a new puppy, hopefully the new doxie will come home this week and take her appointed role as princess. Elvis got a girl friend. He is going to love it!

Shawna and her daughter Katrina rounded out the evening. I think the world of Katrina, she is intuitive, and makes a mean mini album. Shawna has more creativity in her pinkie than I have in my whole being. I hope these Moscow girls had a great time at their first crop with us.

Mom made a mean Taco Salad/Taco Bar, and we had ice cream to end out the nite.

More to come tomorrow. I just wanted to say Thanks ladies for making my Saturday GREAT.

What a week, we had a class every nite! They were great fun. This morning we are altering a cursive "family" with paint and paper. Tonight is our "Smart Girls Crop" Its seems like I have been running in high gear all week but the it is a good thing, being around creative people, having classes and helping people realize that they are creative is such a great feeling. In just a few days Mom and I are off to Chicago. We fly all day Wednesday and then take classes Thursday. Thursday nite we have been invited to a few launch parties to take in new product lines from some of our favorite companies like SEI, LUXE and HEIDI GRACE. Friday, Saturday and Sunday we will shop all day. There is time to talk with designers, do make-n-takes and try to figure out what's hot.

We will be shopping for Fall and Christmas, I think that I am going to have to take some Christmas movies on the plane with me so I will be in the mood. Its been well over a 100 degrees here all week and the last thing I am thinking of is a White Christmas. We are sure when we return home we will be exhausted and excited!

While we are away there is a huge paper sale. We are putting WE R MEMORY KEEPERS and MY MINDS EYE 25% off. That is a big deal as these are our best selling lines. You won't want to miss out. There is also a sale table loaded with bargains. Stop by and say Hi to Debbie and enjoy the sale.
