Yesterday, I spent the day in Orlando at the Scrapbooking Expo. It was wonderful! I love being at events with loads of crafty women. Y ou can just feel the creative vibes throughout the room. The sad part is I went all by myself. Michelle wouldn't fly over from Califonia, Rachel is busy having a baby, and my Norweigen scrappin friends had to spend the day with their husbands. I know, all good excuses....the good news is I was finally able to meet up with my newest Norwiegen friend Bibbi. She is such a sweetheart! We visited, checked out the booths and had a great time. It was not a long visit because I had signed up for two workshops at the event and I also had to get back home before the school bus dropped off my angels.

The two classes I took were great. One was a 3-D wall art class which I will be posting after I get my pictures on, and the other was a class by Basic Grey and Bazzil. I love those companies! We did 4 layoust at the BG class in half an hour! I will show them soon also.

In the meantime, here is a wall canvas I did a few months ago. All the stamps are Stampin Up! I used acrylic paint for the background and a mixture of paint and craft pads for the flowers. There are some words on there....not sure if you can see them. I have done other canvases for people for graduation and other events. They are totally fun and quite addictive...like most stampin projects... The pictures were taken two years ago. My kids were SO cooperative. It was totally fun for them to dress up and pose.

I'm off to visit the school, basketball game, run run run!!! Hope you all have a great Saturday! If you can come to my embossing class tonight, I'll see you at 7!

Wish I could have been there. I can't wait to see what you made. I love this canvas. I haven't tried that yet, but I have a kit for a 4x4 canvas. Maybe I'll actually make it someday.

Bradley

Sunday, my best friend died. My sweetheart of 20 years died suddenly from diabetes. We didn't know he had diabetes. It came quick and took him from me. Brad was more than just my husband, he was my best friend. I relied so very much on his strength to guide me and my children through this life. I admit I feel a bit lost without him, already. I had planned on much, much more time with him. Brad and I met on January 28th, 1989. We were both at a nightclub for under age night with our friends that had dragged us there. We were both ready to leave when we were talked into one more dance. That dance changed our lives. We hit it off right away and danced the rest of the night. In face, we were together from then on. I remember that after that night, I waited all day for his call. It was love right away for me. I felt something I had never felt before and knew that he was the one for me. We dated for six months before Brad went to Texas to go to school. We talked a lot on the phone, and I

Bloggers challenge and candy

I know I said I would post some blog candy yesterday but I didn't even get near my computer! What a crazy day! I had planned on doing it the night before but...I was in the kitchen doing the dishes and I was so dog tired that I laid my head down on the counter for a minute. My son came into the room and said, "go to bed mom, dad and I will do the dishes." Now, who in thier right mind would turn down that offer? My boys HATE to do anything in the kitchen that doesn't involve eating. I immediately turned off my water(boiling for herb tea) and skedaddled upstairs and went to bed. I'm no dummy! The kitchen was not cleaned to my standards, but I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth! Speaking of gifts, I have a little blog candy offer today. In honor of my 8000 hits, I am offering the following: A simply scrappin kit "Just Delightful", a stamp set "Delight in Life", three mini spools of ribbon, some acrylic tiles AND a copy of the latest

Doubles with candy!!

Today is another fun summer day at my house. The kids are running here and there and I'm just trying to keep up. I realized I hadn't sent out Father's day cards yet, so that is what I worked on today. I tried to keep these nice and clean and manly. I remember going to a demonstration at a Stampin' Up! convention years ago where Kevin Theeson and another guy(I forget his name....) talked about 'manly' cards. One of the things they stressed was that guys don't like cards made with pastel cards. They prefer bold bright and earth element colors. I'm not sure if they suggested we stay away from florals too, but I kind of figured that was a safe idea. ;o) For this card I started with some textured Wild Wasabi cardstock cut to 10-1/2 x 5-1/4. That gave me a 5-1/4" card when folded. The striped paper across the center is from a retired SU simply scrappin kit...primary colors I think it was called. I added a strip of Real Red to each side of the stripes for
