Group Photo

Here is our group photo from the wonderful Scrap Sistaz Retreat that I attended last weekend at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass in Chandler, AZ. I had a great time with all these ladies.

Karen and Jolie, you girls know how to throw a Retreat! xoxo

Green Fa La La La Latte Kits

Sold Out! Sorry! Don't say I didn't warn you to contact me to set one aside for you! I am in the process of putting together some red kits. I'll post here on my blog when they are ready! The red kits will be very similar to the cards in the green kits, with just a few minor changes.

Thank you class!

Thanks to all who attended my Fa La La La Latte class on Friday 7/16! You girls were great and so many of you completed all 12 cards in the alloted time! You Rock! See... I knew it could be done! I also want to thank you for letting me take your cute photos to share here on my blog, the Scrapbooks, Etc Blog and the Scrapbooks-Etc Face Book Page! I really appreciate that and I'm sure that everyone is enjoying watching the slide show starring you!

I loved having each and everyone of you in class and if you need more Christmas Cards...come see me for my next Fa La La La Latte class in November. I will have something completely different for you!

I'm having a nice vacation this week. Had a wonderful weekend getaway at the Scrap Sista's retreat at the Wild Horse Pass Resort in Chandler. I headed there shortly after class for some girl time! I am spending this week at home...catching up on things around the house and enjoying some family time.

With a little help...

...from my family! I had to put together an assembly line to pack up all these die cuts! I have never been so busy putting kits together as I have with this class and had to call in reserves! Unexpected (but always welcomed) Bazzill design team assignments and the task of coordinating 23 Creative Escape swaps consisting of 326 items threw me off schedule. Just a few hours until class time and I'm up bright and early to print the directions!

I just need to make it through class and then I am officially on vacation! A much needed vacation I may add. Tonight I will be at the Wild Horse Pass Resort in Chandler attending the Scrap Sistaz Retreat with my girlfriends. Okay, maybe it's a STAYcation - but I'm good with that!

Meanwhile, here is another one of the cards we will be making!

Jenny Strikes Again!

Once again my SUPER AWESOME FRIEND Jenny has made me a new apron. This girl (ME) just can't get enough pretty aprons! This one was created for the Scrap Sistaz retreat I'll be attending with my friends from Thursday Therapy in July at the NEW Talking Stick Resort and Casino. For the past 2 years Thursday Therapy has had t-shirts made for this event...but this year we decided to go with cute aprons! See more of Jenny's special creations in her etsy store: Shabby Trunk.
