I only have 4 sets but during my window shopping online I am always looking at yours. I have decided to wait until the new sets make their premiere as I know I am definitely going to want all of those, especially the mini art set. I was just telling someone this weekend at Ten Seconds STudio that I wasn't really a flowery kinda gal but you have definitely turned me around cuz your grunge take on the horticulture is just right!!!!! Love your stuff.Penci Petty

tuesday tidbits...

Phew...I'm back from a fun weekend in Orlando...
What a BLAST!! ...Fun in the sun!
Oh wait...make that fun in the HOTEL...
I didn't actually see the sun!

I taught 2 classes...we made studio 490 grunge flowers in one & we made a cute Maya Road hanging in the other.
Both were a hit, which makes me very happy.

I demoed nonstop for 2 full days...I LOVE LOVE LOVE that!

Lesson learned...stampers LOVE to SHOP...

The Stampers Anonymous booth was buzzing the entire time...
some gals spent the whole weekend there with me...
I'm sure they were just doing their best to help the economy...
believe me...THEY DID!

You guys know who you are!!
THANKS so much!!

Lesson learned...BUY it when you see it.
If it's being demoed...it's ALL gone quickly...then you have to place an order & not have it in your hot little hands when you leave...sad...

Lesson Learned...it's HOT without AC in Orlando...

Lesson learned...leave the camera @ home...
I didn't use it AGAIN!

Lesson learned...don't get into a car with strangers...
but hey...they turned out to be sweet friends.
Thanks TERRY & CO for inviting me to join you guys for dinner.
That was fun!

More tidbits...

Remember that giveaway I promised to celebrate my book?

Here's a peek @ what Ranger sent...look!!!!!!!!!! They sent...

EVERY product I used in the book...NOT just the inks...

They even included a craft sheet!
I see Perfect pearls...and lots more...

Some lucky blog poster will have fun playing with all this...


I'm not exactly sure what we'll do for the drawing...
but I will keep you updated here...

And speaking of giveaways...
Michelle, Mrs. Stampers Anonymous, gave me something COOL to give away...

I think we'll do that later this week.

Next stop on the art adventure is the stamping convention in CARSON California...

I can't wait...

tim & I have something special...

VERY SPECIAL planned...here's a peek...

We'll be making..........?????????

WE'LL???

WHAT?????????

That's a story for another day...

Stay tuned...and while you're waiting...
