CHA releases

I know I know...I am so behind!  I am so sorry ladies, I have been super busy.  I worked at the Scrapbook EXPO all weekend doing make n takes for a booth called "RED BEE"  I was doing the new mini tubes from SRM...OMGosh these are so so cute.  Those were 2 really long days.  I did meet lots of great ladies....and 1 gentleman.  And I saw lots of gals from the store, so thanks for stopping by the booth to say hello!

Also Hunter...my Irish dancing boy, had a Feis (which is a competition) on Sunday up in Seattle, where I am proud to say that he did very very well!  Out of 3 dances he got a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd place!

Last Thursday I went to Portland to participate in the "Scrap Fest"  which is an event for buyers, they show off lots of new product for Fall and Winter, (beautiful stuff) we did make and takes with some of the new product, and... they put on a fabulous spread for lunch...an Italian buffet!  Amazing!

Most of the new product came in yesterday while I was in the middle of the "Kids Camp", and is already priced and out on the floor.  We have some really cool sort of chip board tri-fold shutters, in 2 shapes, and some really cool stars as well in 2 sizes, only some of the stickers and stamps came in.

New BoBunny "Zoo-ology came in yesterday too...Anyways, I want to give you a few sneak peeks...from CHA  and all the new stuff coming out...this is  the new TERESA COLLINS...  3 new lines!  I am a big fan, so please let me know what you think!

Summer Beauty!

Hello ladies....this is what I found roaming around my beautiful flower baskets yesterday....It made me wander where all the orange and black monarchs are?  I do not know.  But it occurs to me that I have not seen one in a very long time!

Today as I write this, I am thinking of a great project for next weeks "Kids Camp" ...had the first one this morning and I tell you what...these kids are so great, we all made the same thing and they all came out completely different.  I love the kids!  Their creativity comes out and shines through so cool!

Carole and I are tying desperately NOT to order anything till after they show us all the GREAT NEW goodies that are being released at Summer CHA, now if there is something that you see, and love and have to have...please let us know...we will try to get it for you.

The HUGE Used Product Sale is going on ALL week...so get on in to the store and check it out!

Have a great Day!

Happy Father's Day!

Yes it is the middle of June already!  My kids have been out of school for 2 days now, and are pacing around the house already.  We went up to nephew's graduation party yesterday and spent the day with family...we always LOVE that!  My sister in law...Billie is the BEST cook!  omg!  she made really simple chicken on a stick, in some kind of marinade, it was SO SO GOOD!!!  I wish this screen had smellavision, it was so Fabulous!

My flowers are all doing so well, and NOT getting fried in the heat we usually have by this time of year...here are some photos I have taken this week of my baskets and pots around the front area of the house!  ENJOY!

Memorial Day 2011

 We are home from a most wonderful visit to the cematary in Tumwater, Washington!  It is so beautiful with all the giant flags out.

  All of the Veterans burried here have another smallish flag by their headstones.  Mike and I brought the boys today and walked around and found service members from all walks of life and from all different places.  We saw markers the dated as far back as the Spanish American War...all the way upto and including a fallen soilder from our hometown of Rainer that went to my kids High School.  We paid tribute to all and it was a beautiful day.  The boys really liked it too.  Enjoy your day everyone and come and see me this week at the store!

Happy Memorial Day Weedkend! Remember A Vet this weekend!

Hello ladies...well it is the end to another week...boy, Now that I am "50"....the days just fly by!  Actually they have been flying for quite sometime now! 

The Used Product Sale is going on today and tomorrow.  We will be closed on Sunday in Observance of Memorial Day.

 I will be helping out along with my husband and 2 boys at the very small service the American Legion out in Rainer does at our local cemetery....I think it is important to teach our children that this is just not a "day off of school"  There is a reason behind it!

Let's see So this month we have gotten in a lot of new papers...here it is in review:
Echo Park, Summer Days and Splash (these both are such cute lines for Summer)
Pink Paislee...Butterfly Garden(omgosh...this one is so light and beautiful)

Please take a moment to REMEMBER all that was given for our Freedom and all of our Liberties!
