I'm back from Stampin' Up's leadership convention,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I learned so much, saw so many amazing projects,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
had such a great time with friends, the list goes on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My cup is full. . .now I need to get to work!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have hundreds of photos from Leadership, and I plan to show you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some, as well as demonstrate many in my classes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
over the next few months. . .I hope you can attend! As always,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my events are listed on my Stampin' Up calendar here:</div>

This kit is appropriately called-<a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=132807" target="_blank">Dude, You're Welcome!</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and is currently available in my <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=132807" target="_blank">Stampin' Store</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it's hilarious, and I need it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I plan to give another one to my husband for father's day,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because I want my own. . .and he is very particular.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His wood blocks will be all pristine and perfect,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and his stamps will be in the very center. . .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can say this because he doesn't read my blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Except he will now probably read my blog for the first time.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy early Father's Day Honey!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Monday!</div>

Hello, and welcome to the December edition of </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am focusing on my family this Christmas, and mostly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
making projects with them in mind. I hope you are enjoying</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
your holiday and holding on to your loved ones a little tighter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in light of recent tragic events.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Did you see<a href="http://www.barbstamps.com/my_weblog/2012/12/december-2012-control-freaks-tour.html" target="_blank"> Barb's</a> gorgeous projects? She is</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just before me in the tour, but even if you are a rebel</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and going backward, I'm glad you're here! </div>

My first project is a holiday luminary I made</div>

Every time I look at it I think of how they</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
are my little lights in the darkness that life can sometimes be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Little lights that shine like beacons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thank the Lord for them, and their presence in my life.</div>

So much fun!<br /><br />And for those of you who have taken the time<br />to say hello and leave me a comment?<br />I love you.<br />No really. It makes my day!<br /><br />And I listen!<br />So, for the lovely lady who asked me. . ."Where is the follow me button???"<br />I added it. And now there are six people following me LOL!<br /><br />For those six people?<br />I love you.<br /><br />Honestly, I didn't even know there was such a thing available on my blog!<br />I have had my feedburner email subscription for ages now,<br />but I am unfamiliar with "followers".<br /><br />Sounds very strange, but I will give it a try :)<br /><br />And for those of you who follow me on feedburner?<br />I love you. Lots.<br /><br />All that being said. . . Time for my first photo tutorial!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDE4SXUq4qpE8hrloFVGRcbhnoBIMD3r1mCiEYgZx_ZdM9aFiGrYpcxp5LaTMxNig8mRoKbFaFqoB2jLwIQWDVfkPbBsg9nFqxVojSrMJYIYnxncqFa9mO0doPldjEMIZ3PF3luasbCjo/s1600/070+-+Copy.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDE4SXUq4qpE8hrloFVGRcbhnoBIMD3r1mCiEYgZx_ZdM9aFiGrYpcxp5LaTMxNig8mRoKbFaFqoB2jLwIQWDVfkPbBsg9nFqxVojSrMJYIYnxncqFa9mO0doPldjEMIZ3PF3luasbCjo/s320/070+-+Copy.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654981785814136082" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">No, don't be afraid!<br /><br />All you need are these punches and a bit of paper and glue!<br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhloi6VsBrPtEIaRWHxxBu-oxo3cTovaC2MtcOE4LtOpHvGria2whk93hmU7zy3ZiO-9tiCxfwwrj3jMi9ZG4wST6Zekmg8RkbiAH6pbwjDio9Hzhq6pVt2Qw60ONdpTc4VrUHkvvwWkQw/s1600/070.JPG"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHR9QuEXPVt6E_wLzix883fgF3s93ljbrse0q0tDy3ovkTCf3fIePL7U42bwlHyHkHknIyS9696AXq6Lj2i5EvBJTIQ9j85HRmjOJMs2JtIw2mm-lBUO8TwD-ZcFEkSRX5shH6Duf4Gf8/s1600/045.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 215px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHR9QuEXPVt6E_wLzix883fgF3s93ljbrse0q0tDy3ovkTCf3fIePL7U42bwlHyHkHknIyS9696AXq6Lj2i5EvBJTIQ9j85HRmjOJMs2JtIw2mm-lBUO8TwD-ZcFEkSRX5shH6Duf4Gf8/s320/045.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654792192189101858" border="0" /></a>Here we go.<br /><br />Whisper white in the adorable <span style="font-weight: bold;">Owl Punch</span>, making sure you get the main body<br />and the two largest eye circles. . .<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh8XrW5jBQzZgKufbuOKpjTMAe77cpZPPpIlFta3WXCNIh9UtnItTGXddLKHugLfAC8cI4ROjI_Iqn7uDa7L9WfbskBKbidCfzzYv69Kqzs1Ei8hI82RkqVKBsqGx9y6uzOKvuD-1jmtI/s1600/047.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 186px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh8XrW5jBQzZgKufbuOKpjTMAe77cpZPPpIlFta3WXCNIh9UtnItTGXddLKHugLfAC8cI4ROjI_Iqn7uDa7L9WfbskBKbidCfzzYv69Kqzs1Ei8hI82RkqVKBsqGx9y6uzOKvuD-1jmtI/s320/047.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654792192896112498" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Here they are.
