Here is another swap to share (& sneak peek).....my shoe box swap with my group......

Good morning!
Here is the shoe box swap that I made for our group that got together on Wednesday night.
I so love Halloween!!
Isn't this cute?
This is the same layout as the birthday card that I did at my July workshops.

Today is a very busy day at convention.
Our General Session begins~ from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m.
Then we have the Stampin' Up! Expo from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Here is another one of my convention swaps!

I am in a swap with my Go Diva's Group & this is my 3D swap!
It is a mini brag book.
I hope they all like it!
 I thought it turned out cute.
Check out how it flips inside.......
I just wish that Stampin' Up! would have a framelit to cut out this wreath, 
as I had to hand cut them all.f
But thank goodness for our scissor snips- they were a life saver.

All of these stamp sets are new ones that are in the upcoming Holiday Catalog!!!
COOL HUH!

Yesterday several of the girls I'm with either went to the zoo or shopping.
I stayed in our hotel room & assembled my many swaps that I needed to get finished.
They all helped me work on my swaps when they got back to our rooms.
Last night I hosted a shoe box swap with my downline & sidelines that were here.
It was alot of FUN!
We ordered in Pizza & stamped the night away visiting!

Today I was signed up to go on the Riverton Campus Tour, but can't go.....so all of my group will be going without me.  
We have a rehearsal for the convention class I'm in.
So I will be doing that this morning.
Then this afternoon I have my Go Diva's swap.
And  the doors open for General Session with convention officially starting~ 
from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.
Then there is an Opening Social from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.
And I have a group meeting with my Stampin' Sisters from FB at 9:00 p.m.
And then back to our hotel to get a little sleep before we start another busy day again tomorrow.

I can't wait......so much to do!
So much to see!
So much to learn!!
So many friends from afar to see that I haven't seen for awhile!

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Lovin' the Six-Sided Sampler & coordinating punch!

Good morning!
Here is the last of the 6 cards that everyone at my July workshops made this month.
Isn't is awesome that there is a cool punch to go along with this stamp set.
And it is available in a bundle (stamp set & punch) which saves you 15%!
 Check out the Honeycomb embossing folder too!

 Check out the 'Z' fold!
Awhile back my dear friend LeeAnn Greff posted a 'Z' fold card that she had made & I thought it was so cute.
http://flowerbug.typepad.com/
So this is my version of changing her fold somewhat.
Cool huh!
 

I still have to pack & we are headed off to the airport this morning.
I have my swaps all stamped, cut & ready to assemble!
I'll be busy when we get to Salt Lake City working on them.

I will be posting daily, but not sure it will be a consistent time.
So be sure to check back to see my swaps & I'll share some photos of us at this years Stampin' Up! '25th Anniversary' Convention!

I enjoyed my day yesterday as Manda & the twins were here most of the day so that she could help me.
I enjoyed Brayden being here too.
We've missed him while he was vacationing in Denver last week.
He was happy to get to play with & see the twins.
Brayden also stayed over night too.....and was so excited that G'ma got her spare bedroom cleaned out so that he could sleep in it verses the couch. 
I'm hoping he sleeps in a little so that I can get a few more things done- need to water my plants & pay farm bills, etc. before I leave too.
I'm sure gonna miss my family the next 6 days.....YIKES!
But I'm looking forward to spending that time with many of my dear Stampin' Up! friends!

I hope you have  TERRIFIC Tuesday!
Happy Stamping!
HUGS!

We had a fun time stamping last night at my monthly Stampin' Night at our home.
I'm so glad that everyone could join me.
We had a full house!
Papa Deke was so good at having fun & playing with the twins on the farm.
They were two tired little boys that didn't want to give up & go to sleep.
Hoping they sleep in a bit.

We have a busy morning getting ready for the guys to show up & start tearing up my ruined floor. 
I will be so happy when this is all done & over with!
I'll work on picking up from last nights class & cutting supplies for Sunday's class while they do that.

Who wouldn't want to get this for their birthday card?
 
Tonight is Stampin' Night at our home.
I have a full house joining me to stamp the night away.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone & sharing.
Cindy has graciously offered to bring treats- bless her.
Papa will be around tonight to help too, as the twins are also spending the night with us- so I'm sure they will be the entertainment for our stamp class tonight!

Convention practice went well last night.
I am excited about it all.
 I am just getting a little nervous & worried as I have tons to do before we leave next Tuesday morning & I am not sure how it is all going to get done.
Guess somehow it will all fall into place.
 
Nathan had bad luck racing last night & finished 9th in the main.
It was a late night of racing too.

A' Wild Flower Meadow' pull out card.

Good morning!
Here is a cute card that my downline Trish Banes made for our last downline meeting swap.
Trish is a very talented designer & I love the vintage style of this card.

(I will update this post sometime with a supply list.)

It was a late night at the races last night!
But- we were all happy that Nathan WON!
By far- Columbus Junction is my least favorite track to go to though.

I didn't get any stamping done yesterday as worked with our insurance adjuster & stuff on trying to get our floors taken care of.
We have a plan- now to find the time to get new flooring picked out & proceed with things.
We have Farm Bureau insurance & they have been great!
In our 30 years together- this is our first claim ever.....so I'm doing some that I don't know anything about & am asking lots of questions.

 I'm off to my stamp studio to create!
I have lots of stamping to do for my class I have tomorrow.
Wish me luck!
I hope I have good mojo!

I hope you have a SUPER Saturday!

 I think it turned out really cute with the raven.

We had a great 4th of July celebration!

I enjoyed the morning catching up some more with my friend Mary.
Then Deke & I went to see the twins in the kiddie contest at the park.
We came back home to chore & then we went to my class reunion.
We had a great time!!!
It was so much fun!!
We all laughed so hard.
It was lots of fun remembering the 'good old times' together.
I think we need to get together once a year!

I'm headed to my studio this morning with my coffee in hand.
I'll be creating my card projects for my class that I have on Sunday.
AND the UPS man brought my new pre-order for Holiday Catalog products on Wednesday
& I haven't even had the time to open the box yet- so want to do that today too!
I need to create a couple of projects using some new products that I want
 to have added to our power point slides at convention.
So I'm hoping I have good mojo & get alot of stamping done.

Tonight we are off to the races in Columbus Junction.

Here is a winter scrapbook page....

Good morning!
Here is the winter scrapbook page that we did at my class last Saturday.
I love the Silver Glimmer paper.
Aren't these snwoflakes are just beautiful, using last years snowflake die (retired) with it!
 I used Sahara Sand for the 12x12 pages along with Midnight Muse & Very Vanilla.
 I think that this page was many of the ladies favorite!

WOW!
Yesterday was a crappy day.
Lately everything is breaking & going wrong around our home.
Last week it was our central air conditioner & our vehicle.
Yesterday I went to get my hair cut & when I got home I discovered that our 
washing machine drain hose line broke & 20 gallon of water ended up 
all over our laminate floor.
The repair man was here right away & fixed my washing machine.
And I called our insurance guy.
Deke & I spent several hours cleaning up the water.
We have fans still blowing on the floor & hoping it will be ok.
I know deep down it isn't going to be.
It is going to have to be replaced.

We had a late night selling hogs.
Thankfully it was cool out and they sorted & loaded good.

Today I have the twins for awhile & I'm getting my spare room ready for 
my best friend from HS to come stay with us tonight.
She lives in Minnesota & is back for our class reunion we have tomorrow night.
I'm looking forward to seeing her & catching up!
She will be joining our family at the races tonight watching Nathan.

Gotta run!!
I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
