One of my new FAV sets

Connie — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:18:11 +0000

WOW!!! What a busy two weeks I have had! I am thankful that this week is not full of events so that I can get back to a normal routine! I do have one more card class for this month tonight, there is still room if you would like to join me! But for the rest of the week, I will be getting back to homeschooling Sam and working on getting this house in order! Plus we will be doing our annual camping trip with my in-laws this week-end! looking forward to it! I also had an AWESOME experience this past week-end, I went to Richmond VA with my sister and some GREAT friends to hear Beth Moore speak! If you have never heard Beth speak, you are certainly missing out on a blessing, it was exactly what I needed! I am so glad that I went! But today I wanted to share a few samples featuring one of my favorite stamp sets "Just Believe" and as I am typing this I am reminded of a powerful quote I heard this past week-end – You have to believe to receive! God is good- He even sends reminders to us in the form of the name of a stamp set! Anyway, here are a few samples!

Enjoy & Have a GREAT day!

It’s been too long…

Connie — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 00:33:34 +0000

I can hardly believe that we are in the final days of summer and things have been extremely busy this summer! I often wish for a long, slow summer but there is always so much to do and I am not willing to give up any of our summer events! I was away approximately for 1/2 of July and then had to take the first half of August to get caught up! And now this week we are taking Hannah to Virginia for college! It is so hard to believe that my youngest daughter is heading off to college! We are left with one at home and I am having some bittersweet feelings, don't quite know how to explain them! So I am glad that Samuel will still be at home and that my busy fall/ Christmas stamping season is soon here…

As far as convention, I had an AWESOME time and as always am excited about this year's catalog and the NEW Holiday mini! I also am making a promise to post at least three times a week sharing my creativity with you! But tonight I am going to post explaining my classes and some changes that I am starting ASAP!!!!

Hannah’s Graduation

Connie — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 15:54:16 +0000

It has been a very busy two weeks, last week with all the preparation for Hannah's graduation and this week trying to catch up and also I have had 5 stamping classes and/or parties this week! So I thought today I would share with you some of the projects I made for the graduation such as announcements, invites and decorations. I also made two banners and added decorations to a set of patio lights, which I didn't take pictures of yet! But when I do I will share those as well! The girls choose a island theme and Stampin Up! accomodates with their NEW Island collection! Plus I had to share a picture of Hannah as well!
