IT'S OFFICIAL...MY NEW WEBSITE IS UP AND RUNNING...

For Christmas my youngest son, Matt, designed a website for me.  It was such a happy surprise.  

I finally got busy editing it and adding a few pictures and layouts.  I would love to have you drop by.  You can find me  here

Please bookmark my site and check back often.  Right now I have a good give-a-way going on.  Check it out!  I'll have this site open for about a month during the transition.

 

Happy scrapping and have a blessed week.

R U Busy on May 1st and 2nd?

The reason for the question is because two of my friends, Sharon & Vickie, are planning the best National Scrapbook Day (NSD) Mega Event celebration.  It's a bargain at $50 for the entire weekend.  I'll be teaching a couple of classes and so will another friend, April Derrick.  They also have daily make-n-take's, tons of prizes and a couple of challenges.  That's 27 hours of cropping for only 50 bucks! What a deal.

Oh, I forgot to tell you a couple of special things about the event.

• We've got wonderful door prizes donated by some fabulous scrapbook celebrities like Donna Downey, Jennifer Stewart, Margie Romney Aslett and more.
• The goodie bag you will be getting upon check-in is amazing... it's worth way more than your $50 registration fee.

If you would like more information about the NSD Mega Event, please leave a comment and I will make sure you get an email from Sharon or Vickie.

Happy Scrappin'

Have a blessed day,

Mike and I had a wonderful time on our cruise...

We saw the monkeys and birds in Roatan, Honduras and the ruins in Costa Maya, Mexico.  In Cozumel we had a Mexican cooking lesson.  On the boat we ate (and ate!!!) and had lots of time to rest.  

Lori & Kay were the best hostesses...

The conference room where we scrapped all week was decorated completely "Hollywood".  Lori and Kay always go the extra mile with the decor.  We 

walked the red carpet and had our picture taken with fantastic props! Oh, so CUTE!!!

We were always coming in to find goodies on our table.  The tickets for prizes were plentiful.  I was lucky to win several prizes.

All the classes and make-n-takes were wonderful.   

One make-n-take was a bracelet using the Maya Road trinkets and Mike made mine.  He's such a good guy.  He made about 4 more too...he can be talked into anything! LOL

My class was fun too.  I think everyone liked making a Valentine layout on Valentine's Day!  A special shout out to Joey Otlo from Bazzill Basics Paper.  They donated much of the product used in my layout.  Thanks Joey!! Luv ya! 

 I LOVED ALL YOUR ANSWERS TO THE VALENTINE QUESTION ON MY LAST BLOG ENTRY BUT I COULD ONLY CHOOSE ONE WINNER.  ACTUALLY, I COULDN'T "CHOOSE" ONE SO I PUT ALL THE NAMES IN A BOWL AND PULLED OUT ANGIE....SO ANGIE, YOU GET A VALENTINE CLASS KIT FROM THE CRUISE.  CONGRATULATIONS.

I have a busy week ahead.  I need to find time to work on the March kit and some surprises for the Memory Villa crop.  I came home to a ton of packages from orders placed at CHA so I have a lot of product to work with.

Have a blessed week.

...I just wanted to add that I am really amazed at the Valentine stories that you are posting.  I hope you all have a page made about your special day...  Keep the comments coming.  I love them.  Teresa

Howdy Ya'll...

My 22 month old grandson, Jaxon, has learned a new word.  YA'LL.   He's got the perfect southern drawl when he says it too!  So adorable.  My favorite is when he says "night, night ya'll".  So cute.

In less than a week we will be cruising on Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas...

I will be teaching this layout to the scrapbookers on the ship...

I am traveling with a bunch of girls, some of which I know and others that I am excited about meeting.  I am thrilled that Mike is going with me.  I think he will be surprised at how I teach.  I'll be nervous with him watching but I think he will be a great help to me.  We've planned our excursions, bought a couple of books and movies, have gobs of sunscreen and a extra disk for my camera.  I think we are all set.  Well, I  have a few more days to pack our clothes!  Thank goodness! LOL

How would you like to win a free kit of the layout pictured above? 

Just post here about your most memorable Valentine's Day or traditions you share (or have shared) with your children over the years.  I'll pick a winner when I get back from the cruise.

Have a blessed day and 

Night Night YA'LL

CHA fun...

Today we had lots of fun roaming the many isles of the Craft and Hobby Association show.  We placed orders, did make-n-takes and took lots of pictures.  Our minds are full of ideas for classes. We ordered from Bazzill, new ribbon from Creative Impressions, new paper from My Little Shoe Box and much more.  

This is a real cute layout.  I'm seeing round paper everywhere!  A trend here to stay.  There are more and more styles of chipboard albums out than ever before.  We even saw one shaped like a baseball glove and it is adorable.

Tomorrow I am going to order from Kaiser Craft and Fancy Pants.

We are worried about the weather...

Our plane is scheduled to leave here at 4:30 pm and get into Little Rock after 11 pm.  We've heard the weather is terrible.  It just might cause us to stay out here in sunny California another day.  Could be bad!  If we wonder around more I am sure we will BUY more!

Oh, did I mention we ordered Basic Grey?...

Because of our "big" order, I got a HUGE packet of paper and instructions for some awesome pages.  Oh, how we wish we had a paper trimmer, adhesive and a little brown chalk!

I've got more catalogs to go thru....

Sharon's watching the weather.  Maybe we'll get home.....

Have a blessed (and warm) day.

******click on the message board of www.lifetimemoments.com for good information about new products being released at CHA*******

CHA is EXHAUSTING...

Sharon and I were at the show when the doors opened at 9 am this morning and left AFTER the lights were turned out!  Seriously, they turn the lights down in the convention center at 5:30 to let you know the show is over for the day and we were still doing a make-n-take and placing an order! Such a tough day.

Sorry there won't be pictures tonight.  There are so many new products to tell you about.  One of our favorite things today was the new Bazzill stuff.  It will be coming our way shortly.  Oh, and there is new colors of the grid (curly) ribbon.  Sherry will be happy 'bout that.  

We are working on National Scrapbook Day...

We have found some exciting products to share with you on NSD too.  Can't spill the beans on that but trust me....you WILL want to come to NSD on May 1st and 2nd.

Ok, Sharon is yawning so I better stack up my catalogs and make some since out of all this stuff.

I will try to upload pictures tomorrow.

Have a blessed day,

Teresa

Tomorrow is the day...

I will be flying out to Anaheim, California to attend the Craft & Hobby Association (CHA) show.  I'm really excited to see all the new product that the companies are releasing.  I'll be posting here every night so be sure to check back.

This is our little Jaxter (Jaxon)...

He's so fun right now.  He's learning to put words together and I just love when he sees me he shouts....NAAAAAANNNNNNNYYYYYYY! (NANNY)  

Have a great weekend.....
