Sadly Shelli didn't make it to our Regionals as planned, but Bonnie did a great job filling in her shoes on stage.  We got to see some great presentations, demonstrations and hear some great ideas shared by our fellow Demonstrators.  Myself and 5 of my downline shared, swaped, dined, chatted, laughed and got creative for the whole day.  I can't wait to put some of the cool techniques and class ideas into action.

Rhett was SO good the whole day!!! He had all the ladies swooning over him.

Here is a picture of one of the swaps I made…..I used some of the great new items in the Spring Mini Catalogue.

Wow! August was a long time ago! There is no excuse for my lack of updating here other than finishing the Summer, Back to School, followed by my Fall retreat, arrival of my 3rd child, Christmas, New Years, …………I could go on but I'm sure you all feel the same way! I can't believe March is days away! It feels like each year goes by faster.

November was a blur….I held my Fall retreat the first weekend, and had Rhett the last weekend…he arrived on the 28th weighing in at 5lbs 10oz, 19 inches long and looking a little bit like a shar pei puppy with all his wrinkles. Below is a picture that was taken just before his bath at the hospital

 This is our big man now at 3 months!!! He is such a happy little guy……lots of smiles and plenty of attention from his big brother and sister.

 I hope to get my blog posting back to a regular schedule so please be patient with me while I start getting some things loaded.

Happy Stamping!!

Well , as the Summer flies by I can only think of how much busier my Fall/Winter will be…….Kendra will be starting Kindergarten, Rylan grade 2….sniff..sniff…I will be holding my 13th retreat at the beginning of November and……..oh ya……we will be welcoming the newest Chapman to our family on November 25th. "The Brother" is the topic of conversation around the house on a daily basis. Rylan can't wait to share a room with his little brother and Kendra is very excited to be a "Big Sister".  While we do have some busy months to come, I am hoping to keep on with my classes, clubs and retreats as planned.  With a little help from my dear friend and downline,  Janet.  She continues to inspire me to be creative even though I am finding it very hard to find a moment to myself to get to work on some projects. 

This next week I will be franticly working on sets of Christmas house that I plan to sell at the September Long Weekend Craft Sale at our lake. The kids will be at camp all day, so I will have 6 uninterrupted hours to work on whatever I wish!!!

PS.  Thank you Janet for my super cute baby card……..

I wish you all a Fun and Sunny Summer and I will be posting more as I get to work on upcoming card classes.
