Scrap Gala News!

Oh goodness! what a great time we had! The place to be was in Moncton, NB Canada this past weekend at Scrap Gala. The teachers were awsome! The projects even more awsome. I don't know where to begin? Well, I suppose I will begin from the first day they arrived. Debbie Hill , Kah Mei Smith, Tena Sprenger, Carol Wingert, Christy Tomlinson were all on hand to teach us this event. What great ladies they all are! We all met at the restaurant in the hotel on Friday night. Gave them presents which were journals all the "git r duns" contributed pages to about themselves. We ate and laughed and sang (That was Christy's part) as a matter of fact I think it was a rendition of Celine Dion's "My Heart will Go On". She decided that our waitress looked like Celine! he he. The table in behind her loved her song! When Christy's supper arrived we where all like "What the??"
Tomatoes, french fries and Cake?? he he she is so funny.. I knew that we where gonna have a blast with this girl! At Christy's table Debbie Hill, Nicole, Rachel, Tasha and Amy. Of course our table was more reserved (he he) I was sitting at the table with Tena , Carol, Kah Mei, Debbie, Shirley and Tina. What a great Kick off to a great weekend!

On Saturday bright and early Scrap Gala Registration began. We had our pep talk from Debbie and off we went! Classed started at 10:00 am. In the evening we all hung out and had suppers together in Debbie's (Scrap Shack owner) "executive" room. That is where the sillyness began. The teachers bonded as a matter of fact we pretty much all bonded..I felt like I have known these ladies for years! Well Tena I have known for a year and Carol for about 8 months by chatting via e-mail they are all amazing ladies. Here are some more pics to enjoy!

Preparations!!!

I have been chosen by my awesome scrap sisters to design name tags for our upcoming event ScrapGala . It is being held this upcoming weekend on November 11 and 12.

I used some awsome material such as these awsome Junkitz Flowerz and Chatterbox pp. I had lots of creative juices flowing (can you tell by the mess)...of course it helps when you have people like Debbie Hill a designer from Junkitz coming to this event. "I hope she likes what I did to them?"

There are more great ladies in the scrapbooking field that are attending this event. I am so excited to see Tena Sprenger again and meet Carol Wingert (whom I feel I already know by chatting through her blog for a year!)
Also attending is Kah Mei Smith of Font works , totally awesome canadian entrepeuneur!! And Christy Tomlinson of Making Memories as part of the Book Team and is also a Contributing Editor for Better Homes and Garden's, Scrapbook etc. This is so exciting!! Can't wait to meet all of you! We are going to have a blast..see you in 5 days!!!

Create Art!

Oh my goodness!! How excited am I. I just received my copy of Artful Memories by Carol Wingert & Tena Sprenger in the mail today!! It is just beautiful...I am on a creative ride at the moment and just loving the scenery man! I am mostly excited because I met Tena Sprenger last Year at Scrapfest 2005 in Moncton. She is a Creative, fun and wonderful lady. This year I have the pleasure of meeting the other author of the book "Carol Wingert" at our ScrapGala 2006 along with many other memory artists!! I have been chatting with Carol through her blog and let me tell you that we are all excited to meet her as well as see Tena again.

I can't wait to have my book signed by these wonderful ladies and just soak up the creative vibe that these two have!!

Got Me Some Crocs!!!

He he..isn't this a great picture? I took this picture of my crocs while I was swinging! Can you imagine that. These are a great pair of shoes..they are my most favorite shoes of all time! I get home and take off my uncomfortable work shoes and just put these bad boys on and I am in the comfort zone!!

I think next year I will get another funky color!!
