APRIL? ALREADY?


Wow...this year is flying by so fast. It's April now. Welcome to April everyone. And hello! I'm so glad to be back...again! I feel like I'm always leaving and coming back. Don't worry tho, I'll be around for the next few weeks. I won't be leaving you again for about 3 weeks. Our next trip is to the East Coast...Florida. But I need to talk about Las Vegas first...

************************
We had a nice time...thanks to you who asked!! I do miss it a little. It has grown a lot since we were there. More people, more traffic, more houses and of course more Hotel/Casinos and High Rise Condos! Crazy I tell ya. I went back to my old stomping grounds...The Venetian. We got to see the Blue Man Group there (really good show). My first job in Vegas was at The Venetian...what a neat experience. It is truly a piece of work (art) and if you ever get the chance, you need to see it. BEAUTIFUL!

We also got to golf...that's how I met my husband out there! The course was in awesome shape and the weather...PERFECT! I had more fun taking pictures of the mountains and cactus!! Here are a few highlights of our trip...






Late nights, too much poker, all you can eat buffets...I can only take a few days of it and then I'm ready to come back to reality. Glad to be home with my girls. And glad to find out that a ton of new product arrived at the store...wanna see?









Talk about a ton of stuff. WOW. One of my all time favorite brands came in...Autumn Leaves! Included in all of this yummy goodness...Clear Stamps. The best clear stamps that you can imagine. Not only did we get more of those flourish stamps that sold out in seconds, but how about stitched journaling panels, talking in circles, gypsy style, the list goes on. You must see these and get your hands on some. I went a little crazy today and bought a bunch!! These will not last...trust me on this!

*******************
Gorgeous chipboard Journaling Panels by Rhonna Farrer in the French Twist line. Lovin it! My ALL TIME FAVORITE ~ Bag-O-Buttons are back. Fully stocked, but going fast. You will love the clear ones...if there are any left. Yummy ribbon, rub-ons, brads, clear expressions (aka: overlays), and PAPER. SO CUTE!
********************
Queen and Co. has some super fun stuff including felt border that is so cool. Lots of great colors, too. They also have fun and funky shaped buttons and brads. Gotta get some!!
********************
Finally got in the Basic Grey Precision File Set. I'm sure you've all seen the ads for this nifty little thing. I saw it in the latest issue of CK or Memory Makers and I knew I had to have it. It comes with 6 different shaped files to get in the grooves of all of those hard to sand objects such as chipboard letters (A's, E's, O's...you know!), plastic, paper and metal. You can't beat it at $6.99.

***************
FUN, FUN, FUN stamps from See D's. Easter, Thanksgiving, Birthday, Baby, Christmas, Wedding, and different Alphabet Fonts. These are too cute.

****************
A few more Prima Flowers came in, too. See picture. The flowers that are wrapped in the brown ribbon are HUGE. Like 6 - 7 inches or so. These are some very fun flowers!!

***************
Ok...I hope I've piqued your interest by now. I would recommend stopping in to the store soon. This is a nice crop of new stuff that's in right now. You will find something...I promise you.

****************
I hope you're all doing well. I still hope to see or meet some of you at the store one of these days. If I am there and you are too...please say hi. I love meeting new people and I love knowing that someone out there is reading this (HINT HINT). Keep scrappin and don't be afraid to share your stuff.

****************
Ciao for now...you'll be seeing more of me, that's for sure!

I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this... Don't you know that scrap supplies are our drug of choice and when we go in and see them sold out we start having seizures??? lol...
