Wow it's Been a While

It's been a while since I posted, so I am here to let you in on what has been happening in my world. I am also going to try and to get back into the swing of posting.
I just got home from the Stampin' Up! convention at about 1 AM yesterday morning, so I spent yesterday pretty much doing nothing. It was a very full & enlightening trip! I cannot wait to get my hands dirty trying & sharing what I learned. However, up until my trip I was trying to get my swaps done, hold my club event, get everything packed & ready, and get the house prepared for my absence. My family did say that they really missed me! :)
Before I left we also experienced the loss of our great dane Tye. There were a lot of tears around here for a while, which seriously affected my stamping mojo. It was very unexpected & hard on all of us. We still really miss his presence.
On the flip side though, I announced to my children & the rest of my little world that Matt & I are expecting our 3rd child. Such a totally opposite emotion to feel on the same day as our loss. Needless to say I have been incredibly tired, but I think that too is passing (for now).
Now that I am back I plan on sharing with you things I learned at convention & the swaps I received. I look forward to being in touch a bit more & thank you for your patience and understanding the last little while.

The 2010 - 2011 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog is Here

Today is the day, Stampin' Up!s Idea Book & Catalog goes live today! I have updated the catalogs in the right column of my blog to show these new publications. Of course there is the Idea Book & Catalog, but there is also a new Definitely Decorative and a new Celebrando Creatividad (Spanish Catalog). Just click on the catalog photo to view it in its entirety. Anything that you see is available now.

If you need one of these catalogs in your hands, let me know. I have to charge what they cost me, but if you place an order of $30 or more I will discount that order the cost of the catalog.
