An update on life....plus a card!

Well, I am finally home and somewhat settled....is there such a thing? The laundry is done, the Stampin' Up! boxes are unpacked and bagged (if you have an order here I'll be emailing you today:), I actually have cooked a meal, I've stamped a card and I'm happy! Wow, what a ton to accomplish!

Let me begin by saying THANK YOU to all of you that have emailed or commented, or stopped me at Convention to chat! It sure has been an exciting year with Stampin' Up! and I have a feeling these next 12 months will be equally exciting! Convention was amazing for so many reasons, and the number one reason was making new friends! We always add a +ONE to our group each year, and this year is no exception (although we had more than one...Sue, Cheryl, Teneale, Barb, Jason, Alanna and team and so many more!) Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! I appreciate your taking the time to comment and it sure helps keep the "flame ignited!"

As for the swatchbooks, if you are in the United States and you ordered your book BEFORE July 5th, they have been sent. If you are in Canada, they are shipping today. If you are in the States and ordered after July 5th they are being shipped in the next day or so. I will have my "gallery" posted or emailed by the end of next week. I've got about 6 more pages to create (boy am I excited about them!!!) If you're interested in ordering a swatchbook, they are still available until the end of this week and then I will be taking them off line.

Today's card was a fun one to make! Adam and I celebrated our 12th anniversary this past weekend (yes, I'm a horrible wife and was in Utah....but he's okay with that:) I loved that the kids on this card in a sense were a reflection on us as we have grown up together (we've been together for more than 20 years...yes, we started dating when we were five:) This set is just too cute and I love how all the elements came together! I hope you like it too!!!

And last but not least...yes, I do have a class planned....just finishing the samples....it's going to be using Kidoodles! (love this set) and will be NEXT Thursday night.....hope you can make it! I'll keep you posted on the details but in the meantime, mark it on your calendar:)

Have a wonderful day!

Heather

Congrats Heather! I just stumbled on your blog. SU made an excellent decision in selecting you for the Artisan Award. I saw sooo many of your cards that I can't decide which to CASE! Thanks so much for sharing your creativity.
