The Neverending Card ...

The last day of the SU! Convention, Francis came to lunch with this beautiful card ... we didn't know what to do with it ?!? ... A lovely lady who was sitting at the other side of the table came over and showed us how it worked! She also told Francis 'Somebody loved you ... they put this card together right!' We now knew what she had ... here are pictures of the original card ...

This card was made by Christine Harlin of Imperial Beach, CA ... what a beauty! This is the card we have duplicated all week in classes!

Enjoy!

See what I did last night!

In between helping my husband [or getting in his way] put in my new window motor ... [haven't been able to visit drive-thru's very easily for the last 4 months] ... I put my decor elements on my truck!! Whoo Hoo!

I wonder how long it will take me to get my blog address added ... [had these since Convention 2009] Ooops!

Enjoy!

Stampin' Up! Convention Check-In Day ... Whoo Hoo!!!

Wow! Wow! What fun! We [Francis and I -- my roommate -- pic taken yesterday near the music hall] got up and had breakfast downstairs at the Shilo Inn! Francis invited us to have breakfast with Penny [a demo from Ohio] ... what a sweetheart! While we were sitting there, Sandy Hancock came around the corner and sat down to have breakfast with us too!

Next came the bags ... and stamps ... and Momento Mall! and the Gathering Place ... all wonderful!

The day zoomed by ... including a thunder and lightening with rain shower in the afternoon!

Look at what fun we had last night! ... the good old days! ...

 
Shelli & Sterling were so nice to take pictures with us!

What a beautiful end to a fun-filled day! Thank you God & Stampin' Up!

Enjoy!

Pre-convention Classes

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Here are a couple of the projects we did today at the LNS Stamper's Group Stamp Camp!

This is so beautiful in real life! It's made with Shimmer White Paper ... perfect for a wedding shower invite!!

I'll post more tomorrow!! Have a great night!

Lookie what I got in the mail yesterday!

My roommate for Stampin' Up!'s 2010 Convention that will be held next week sent me the cutest 'Orange Soapsicle' from her new soap collection!

Okay, okay ... so, there's a story behind the safe recovery of this beauty from my mailbox ... [I hit the garage door -- duh! because I was so excited this was in the mail!] It is so cute! You can see the rest of her wares at: http://www.soapworks.net/ . Thank you Francis!

Girl's Night Out Friday!

We had a great time tonight ... Marie saved the day once again and found a much easier way to complete the project! Thank you Marie!

From Left to right ... Teresa, Martha, Yolanda and Marie!

What you also must know about this card is that it was cased slightly from Gretchen Baron @ http://gretchenbarron.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/06/sweet-baby-onesies.html#tp . Thank you Gretchen for the inspiration!

Stampingly yours,

It has been so long since I've posted ... so ... here's what I've been up to for the last few days anyway ...

Swaps! ... Or so I hope they turn into swaps! For convention!

They look like distressed papers right now ... keep watching for the big reveal!

Enjoy!
