Home Sweet Home

Good morning everyone, I'm back! What a trip! New York was very interesting. I loved visiting, but would not be able to live in all that chaos. Wow! Me and my girlfriends were able to jump off the bus at one point and go to Saks Fifth Ave and we had just enough time to do a makeover with Laura Mercier Makeup. What fun that was. Those artists in NY really know their stuff. It was awesome to be able to see all the landmarks that I've heard about all my life- Time Square, Madison Sq Gardens, Rockafeller Center, Central Park, Ground Zero, Saks, Statue of Liberty .......I have over 700 pics to sort through. I'm not going to post 700 pics, but I picked 3 for you today.

NewYork! New York! Here I come!

Good AM to all,
So I'm off to NewYork via Canada. We leave around 2:00. I'm very excited but also sad to leave my home (which includes my DH & my little baby April(poodle).

We got home last night and our A/C has gone belly up! No problem! It's only going to get to 95 today. What??? It's about 85 right now in the house. But the humidity outside is worse than in here, so........Hopefully it's getting fixed this afternoon. Isn't that the way it goes when you're leaving town.

I won't be on my blog for about 2 weeks, so please don't think I've stopped publishing. I'll be back. Hope everyone has a good rest of June.

Later!

Shows Over

Hey Everybody, I just got home from working the weekend at the Rubber Stamp Show in Collinsville, IL. I did demos for the Rubbernecker Booth. I met a lot of really really nice ladies. I even managed to shop for about 10 total minutes. In that time, I picked up something new that just came out, Pan Pastels from Bugawumps. I'm really excited to try them out (maybe tomorrow, I'm exhausted). They are a creamy chalk and I grabbed some special applicators that I hope I can master using. I also bought ONE stamp. I know! Just ONE! But it's a doozy (is that how you spell doozy?) Anyway, it's "Fairy Tale Romance" by Loralie Designs. She has this small line of rubber stamps that are over sized (compared to what I normally use)

and her artwork for the stamps is fabulous! I will post some cards here soon! I did a quick scan of the insert that comes with it. Have any of you ever used any of her stuff?

I am leaving for New York come Friday though, so I'm not going to have much time to play with my new stuff! It will give me something to anticipate when I get back home.
