Been Busy

I have been really busy of late...I had a flea market that I showed in and got a lot of really interested people wanting classes and such. I was able to unload all of my retired catalogs and just show others how fun rubber stampin can be.

One lady wants me to do 150 cards for the governors ball. O M G I said yes..Not sure of the design or the date yet. I will wait for her to contact me so we can proceed.


I spent some time talking to my son in Perth, Western Australia and to my brother in Whakatane, New Zealand...........

I AM GOING TO VISIT BOTH OF THEM....I turn 60 this summer and I have always wanted to go to New Zealand. I have been to Australia once, when my son got married there.

I AM EXCITED!!!
