Honey, I'm home!!
WHEW!!
SO so happy to be home but miss my Spellbinders™ Family already! LOL!! What can I say except for two little words that have a WHOLE LOT of meaning...THANK YOU!!!
Of all the manufacturers I have worked with, this Company is the most generous - so giving of their hearts, their hard work and their products which they are so proud of (and they should be!). I am so honored to be a part of it all!
This year, we are fortunate enough to work with many cross promotional partners and just like Spellbinders™, they are just as giving! I spread most of their generosity on my roomie Holly's king sized bed (Thanks, Holly! LOL!)...
Now let's see if I can list everyone:
Beacon Adhesives, Clearsnap, COPICS (not pictured on its way from overseas on a slow boat from Japan! LOL!), Cosmo Cricket, Creative Impressions, Donna Salazar Designs, Fancy Pants Designs, Flourishes, Gina K Designs, Glue Dots, Graphic45, Heartfelt Creations, JustRite Stampers, Kaiser Crafts, My Mind's Eye, Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker LLC, Pink Paislee, Robin's Nest, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, Sparkle'N Sprinkle, Tattered Angels, 3M Post-It, Waltzing Mouse Stamps, WorldWin (not pictured on its way to me in a huge box! WOW!!) and Xryon.
This year, we have added stamp manufacturers that created designs to match Spellbinders™ Die Templates! SO EXCITED about that! Can't wait to play! WOOOHOOO!!
THANK YOU SPELLBINDERS™!!!
I am so excited for another year of great fun, designs and well, more fun! LOL!
Happy HUMP Day!!! xo

Never A Dull Moment...
Hey all!
Been working on getting ready for an article for Love My Memories (Jpn SB magazine) but it has been a bear to finish. The pictures finally came through!! Sorry for being a pest for two weeks, Miss M!! Let's hope that the editors don't pull it due to deadline which past a LONG TIME ago! YIKES! So please send me good thoughts my way! LOL!!
In between I've been sewing (don't faint, Mrs. Fish!!) or should I correct that by writing "I'm trying to sew!" LOL! My youngest will be in a Japanese play and I have to put together a KIMONO jacket/JINBEI. I was stuck on the collar! OY! Pray for me! LOL!! Here's before I put the collar on...
Tomorrow, I'm off to Spellbinders™ Design Team Retreat to learn more about the Company, techniques, its marketing and get to know the rest of the gang. I am most excited to get to know my co-blog author Holly! We'll be rooming together! So I am trying to get everything in place at home while I'm gone. AM carpool for oldest - check; PM carpool for oldest & youngest - check; lunch for youngest - check; and summer school sign up - check! All that needs to be done is LAUNDRY & PACKING!! OY!
Be good...will post pictures when I get back and recovered! LOL!!

I Challenge YOU To A....
Well, a challenge! LOL!
Really it's a TaDa (Creative Studio) Challenge :0)
Here is the detail:
Happy Friday to all! I’m excited to see the weekend come, even though it’s cold and rainy here. Why? Because that’s a PERFECT time to SCRAPBOOK!!!
I want to throw a simple, 2-part challenge out to our readers to kick off the DT Challenge posts:
Part 1: Scrapbook yourself.
No, not too many of us like to be in FRONT of the camera, for any number of reasons (none of which will be named here. ) But write about yourself – your habits, your hopes, your dreams, your frustrations, your strengths, your weaknesses, your vices…whatever. Showcase YOU.
Part 2: Use the TaDa line that you love most, the one that reflects you and your personality best.
Can’t wait to see what you all can do! Be sure to post links HERE when you’re done. DTers, this is for you, too, if you’re so inclined! Post your layouts here so we can all be inspired!
Here’s to good scrap time and lots of mojo, my friends!
Soooo are you up for it? I'm hoping to get at least a start on it as I am going to designers' retreat next week (SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!). There's no due date...yet. So you have some time to purchase your stash of TaDa products. Click HERE for a store or online store that can help you.
Good luck!!

Another Proud Mama Moment
OK..this time, it's about my oldest boy and his freshman year tennis.
He had his first home tennis match as a high school player yesterday. I am not familiar with tennis but he's on a doubles team with a sophomore partner on the junior varsity team as #1 doubles team...hope that makes sense. LOL!!
Unfortunately they lost...figures when I'm there! LOL! But the day before they won their match...or is it game? UGH! I better figure this out before the season ends ;0P Either way, I am very proud of him.
Now if I can only get him to be as enthusiastic with his school work, I would be MORE HAPPIER!! Am I asking too much?! Seriously.
Here are some pictures I took yesterday (a beautiful warm day btw but windy!)...please forgive the fence, couldn't sneek into the courts without being bonked by a tennis ball.
And a big pow wow at the end...it was nice :0)
