thank you tree...

so the other day i went in to joanns. the entire papercrafting/scrapbook section was on 40% off. i mean everything from paper to stamps and everything else in between. it was awesome! and i actually bought a few things. usually when everything is on sale, i can't find anything i want. not so. i got this cute hero arts stamp. i love the tree. like i need another tree. add that to the list of the "like i need another..."!

thank you

time to get together...

in a few weeks, i'm going on a little trip.  it's my annual (turning into somewhat semi-annual!) girls trip to indiana to hang out for four or five days with my stamping friends from around the globe.  ok, no one is coming from a different country, although we have many friends in far away places.  but there will be six states represented...illinois, michigan, north carolina, ohio, tennessee and utah.  14 of us will gather to stamp, laugh, eat, stamp, laugh, laugh, laugh, and make s'mores with our heat guns (video here!).  good times.  so to celebrate, i made some atcs to send to all the girls going.  i figured it was an appropriate sentiment!!  and i hope they all have them by now!!  (if not, surprise!!)
