{I am loved}

Saturday was my going away "party" at Scrapaganza. When Beth and Kelly said they were going to invited the customers to a Farewell Party with cake and everything, I have to admit I was nervous! What if nobody came?? Can't we just keep it simple? People aren't going to come in on a Saturday just for me!

But they did! I could not believe it when people were walking in with Flowers, and cards, and gifts... and just walking in! You are all more than just customers and co-workers... you are my friends! I will miss seeing you so often... but I promise I will still see you! Here are some pictures from the day...
{Penny can you send me all the ones you took? Sorry, Marion for the closed eyes picture... but I couldn't leave you out! I will switch it when I get one from Penny}
*Prepare for picture overload!! I wanted to be sure to post them all!*

Thank you Beth and Kelly for letting me share my creativity in your store. Thank you for the "party" and of course the shopping spree :) Don't worry... you can't get rid of me... I will be back to visit!!

Ashleigh... The cake was perfect!!! I LOVED my Heidi Swapp cake!

My "Fairy Scrap-mother" Marion made me this little princess book for my three little princesses! I LOVE IT!!! I love handmade gifts and she did incredible work! Heidi Swapp paper, pink Hambly, and TONS of bling! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!! Thanks so much!

Three of my favorite club girls came to send me off! Can't wait to see you in the Des Moines area! You three have made my Thursday nights sooooo much fun! {Yes, there are lots more of you clubbers that contributed to the fun!}

Kim and her cutie sister Kara stopped by. How cute are they? There is too much to say about Kim.... and I'm not going away from her! She better come visit!!! :)

Lynn... thanks so much for stopping by... it was a great surprise! Be sure to call when you are in the area working!

The three amigos... Kim, Lynn and I. These two, well, I am sworn to secrecy :) Can't wait to get together... maybe we can hit up a junk store here.

Thank you Cathey for introducing me to the wide world of vinyl :) Can't wait to use my gift certificate and decorate here.

Here are my beautiful flowers. Thank you Sally and Marissa for the HUGE sunflowers!! Thank you Megan for the PINK bouquet! {Isn't it great having artsy friends?? No Hy-Vee flowers here... they stopped at the Farmer's Market! I have never had such fun flowers!}

Am I torturing you yet, Penny??? Here you are!!! :) Thank you for the opportunities you have opened for me! Thanks for 2 fun, exciting and unforgettable CHA trips. And thank you for "training" Bentley! {he is such a good dog now! still a little to work on.... but he is laying at my feet as I type this!}

Thanks again to everyone who came by! It made my day so special! Watch for ONE more class before Thanksgiving. {hoping early October... just have to wait for the products to come in}

Fancy Pants

One of my favorite scrapbooking companies is having a design team call... so here is what I created using Fancy Pants. {Please be sure to click on the pictures to make them larger}

One Page Layout:

Cutie Reese

{Don't you love the paper and clear letters???}

Two Page layout:

He said - She said - Truth is

(Fancy Pants makes paper "extras" for all of their lines. They are perfect for those finishing touches on your layouts!)

The hidden journaling card is tucked under the picture.

One Page layout:

{I LOVE the clear accents packs!! The frame and little butterfly were the perfect touches on this page.}

12 inch home decor canvas:

(Fancy Pants has the best color schemes... this one is great for a home decor project.)

Oldie but goodie :)

This is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE layouts. Fancy Pants worked great for layering the patterned paper, rub-ons and their stamps to make a new look.

Thanks for looking!!

Some Random Sillies

July was full of fun and of course some silly times :) I just wanted to post a few pictures that got missed in all the blogging. (and I don't have anything new to post... besides boxes, boxes, and more boxes!!!) Hope this helps pass the time until after the move, when I have more to post!

(Hallie flying her kite with the neighbor kids)

(Reese dressed herself!! Yes, that is a bib on backwards, and of course HER trophey!!)

(Reese fell asleeep on the floor, so Hallie made a bed around her)

(T-Ball fun!)

(My bike came!!! We are waiting to move to put it together.)
