Bye bye Holidays....

Well, the holidays are officially over and I have completely been in denial. I had a great time at home with my family in Georgia. I was born and raised in Cartersville, GA, just about 45 minutes north of Atlanta. I go home every Christmas and I had not been home since February, so I really couldn't wait to get there. We had a great time. It was a busy holiday but I had a great time. So, I came back here a little bummed, but now I'm looking forward to enjoying this New Year.


So, I only did one class for the holidays and it was at the end of November. I did an ornament class at Eastern University, my alma mater, with a lot of help from Alison Wear, my upline. It was really fun and I think it was a success.


We demonstrated ornaments using lots of Stampin' Up's Designer Series Paper and chipboard sets. All the participants made ornaments for their tree trimming party. So, here's Alison and I standing beside the tree at Eastern University's Christmas tree at EU Philadelphia.


But Alas, that is the past! On to the future, or at least the present. Stampin' Up has a new 2007-08 Spring/Summer Collection catalogue and idea book. I have ordered several new stamp sets from the catalogue and there are a lot of great promotions. So I look forward to getting geared up for crafting, gatherings, and creating beautiful items in the New Year. So, click the catalogue picture below and you can see the online catalogue. If you would like to get a copy for yourself, just host a workshop or class and you get one for free (a $9.99 value- no really, it has a lot of great card and craft ideas inside, just like the $15 books at some of those other stores).

So here's to a wonderful and kreative New Year!
