I'm home.......

 
I am home!!
I got home about 5:30 yesterday afternoon.
Manda, Steve & the twins came out for supper so we could see them & catch up.
Sure missed "all" of my family!
(Nathan, April, Jackson & Brayden are camping- so hope to see them when they get home on Wednesday.)
But I had a "great time" with all of my Stampin' Up! friends last week.
Convention was awesome!
And I have a TON of new things to share with all of you!

Check out the cool card above.
This is a new framelit that SU! shared with us that will be released soon.
Oh my gosh.....I love it & can't wait to get it in my hands.
This is just one of the many new things that are going to be available SOON!
 
We have a crazy day today- 
as the guys are to be here any time to start laying my new floor in my 
kitchen, laundry room & bathroom.
I need to unpack, do a ton of laundry, catch up on emails, sort stamp orders, go through a huge pile of mail & the list goes on & on.
It amazes me how much stuff gets piled up when you have a weeks worth of things to catch up on. 
I have a ton of pictures that I need to get downloaded too & will be sharing them with you.

Gotta run......
I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Here is another sneak peek!

Good morning!
This is the swap that I ended up doing for our shoe box swap last night.
It is very similar to the card I shared with you yesterday~ but I changed it somewhat.
This one is a Chocolate Chip base with Crumb Cake & Naturals Ivory CS.
The technique used on the stamped leaf image is called thumping!
Didn't it turn out cute!
 The fold is called a twist.
It has a pocket on the inside that you can seal or leave open & use it as a gift card holder too!

We have an extremely busy day at convention.
The presentations went well.
And our shoe box swap was fun!
I have enjoyed my time with stampin' friends- but I'm ready to be home to my family & sleep in my own bed tonight.
 
Hi Ho, Hi Ho- off to the airport we go!
Praying for safe travels & good flights as we head home!

I hope you have a SENSATIONAL Sunday!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Here is another sneak peek for you!

HI!
Here is another card that I created using new products from the upcoming Holiday Catalog.
Notice the new stamp sets, the new designer paper & the new embossing folder!
 I will share with you tomorrow- my changed version of this card that I am doing for my shoe box swap I'm hosting tomorrow night with my friend LeeAnn, her downline & my downline!

Today is the DAY!!
I have my presentation this later this morning & all afternoon.
Please keep me in your prayers that I can do it all!

General Session is from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m.
Then we have presentations from 11:00 a.m. to 3:15 pm.
This is when I'll be presenting the exact same class at 3 different times.
We then have closing General Session from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.
We'll go out to eat supper & back to our hotel for our shoe box swap~
enjoying our evening stamping with friends & visiting!

We leave early in the morning for the airport & begin our journey traveling home.
I've so missed Deke & the rest of our family.
I've enjoyed my time here with my friends- but I'm ready to go home.

I hope you have a SUPER Saturday!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
