I would have to say that I wish we there was more traffic but it was fun hangin out with friends and also rummaging through their stuff :)

I came home with less than I came there with so I didn't mind mind it at all!

Let see what else OH Friday night I came home to a BOX of GOODIES!

OMG!!!! It was awesome. I love Kathy from Creative Options Look at all these goodies she sent me...

Kathy and I use to work for the same company and now she BRANCHED out and started her own company. Aren't the colors sooooo fun? Take time to browse around her web site! She has such functional BAGS and storage stuff for any type of crafter (not just scrapbooking)

Well, Its been a long weekend! off to bed.

OK thought I'd share my OVER JOY with every body Heehee.

TODAY

I went to Mc D’s TODAY to get my free cup of iced coffee (I had a coupon from the Sunday paper)…. And I got a whiff of a scent… and it brought me back to France for a second. Isn't that weird when that happens? You smell something and it kind of takes you to that exact time? I remembered when I woke up from our hotel in Paris it smelled like French croissants and freshly brewed coffee every where even when you opened the window and you smell the air out side.  The weather  was like how it was today a little muggy a little gloomy like it just rained the night before even though the streets were dry…awe… I realized TODAY that it was one of my favorite scents.

(Pictures taken from my hotel in PARIS a stone throw away from my favorite place the Louvre.)

I have a confession...

I think Im obssesed with.... SCALLOPS (not the food the SHAPE). LOL everything I see with scallops I just have to have... I swear Im not the obssesive compulsive kind but I am a collector.. Is there a difference? just kidding maybe a little. 2 years ago I completely obssesed over QUICKUTZ and went on this super hunt for like a million years for a strawberry... and then last year my obssesion for Circle and dots not to mention PINK....that I admit is an obssesion. OK maybe im bordering... and even to blog about my love for scallops might be sick...I bought this awesome cutter from Dave and I only use the scallop scallop shape blade... I cant think of the company who makes it right now...Its so awesome though...I'll post a  PIC when I find it. Well good night Im POOPED its my early day at work tomorrow. ta-ta!

Busy WEEKEND

So I haven't gotten a chance to post anything up recently. Its been a busy weekend. It was my friend Linsey's baby's christening this Sunday. The Baby's name is Madison Juliana isn't that so lovely? Look at their beautiful family. Madison didn't even cry the whole time. she just kept smiling.

what else did I do? oh...

I worked at Stampology Friday and I got to finish up the new Stampendous cards. I love the word sets and we paired it up with the new shimmery papers from Reminisce. I cant give you the sneak peak yet heehee. BUT I do have ONE! Its a card from the cats pajamas STAMP TILL YOU CRAMP. heehee I'm so in to Kitty images lately because of my new kittys. I cant believe how fast they grow. Molly and Earl BOTH use to fit in my hands. and look at earl now...

oh just kidding I have one more this one is from the mini Stamp till you cramp of Gel-a-Tins this card turned out so awesome unfortunately I'm not a good photographer therefore the light shinning bright on the card didn't do it any justice in real life. I use twinkling H20S to color the background of the shimmer paper and then embossed the flowers with black embossing powder and then covered the whole card with versamark and holographic powder then heat set it.
