Monday

Leadership conference was FANTASTIC.




I'm back from Stampin' Up's leadership convention,
and I had SUCH A BLAST.


I learned so much, saw so many amazing projects,
had such a great time with friends, the list goes on.
My cup is full. . .now I need to get to work!

I have hundreds of photos from Leadership, and I plan to show you
some, as well as demonstrate many in my classes
over the next few months. . .I hope you can attend!  As always,
my events are listed on my Stampin' Up calendar here:


I will leave you with a funny video of one of our newest products!


This kit is appropriately called-Dude, You're Welcome!
and is currently available in my Stampin' Store.

I think it's hilarious, and I need it.

I plan to give another one to my husband for father's day,
because I want my own. . .and he is very particular.
His wood blocks will be all pristine and perfect,
and his stamps will be in the very center. . .
 
I can say this because he doesn't read my blog.
(Except he will now probably read my blog for the first time.)

Happy early Father's Day Honey!

One more product release today,
and I have highlighted it on my facebook page.

Happy Monday!

Wednesday

Merry Freakin' Christmas!










Hello, and welcome to the December edition of 
the Controlfreaks blog hop!

I am focusing on my family this Christmas, and mostly
making projects with them in mind.  I hope you are enjoying
your holiday and holding on to your loved ones a little tighter
in light of recent tragic events.

Did you see Barb's gorgeous projects?  She is
just before me in the tour, but even if you are a rebel
and going backward, I'm glad you're here! 

My first project is a holiday luminary I made
for my daughter's rooms:

A little light in the darkness.


Every time I look at it I think of how they
are my little lights in the darkness that life can sometimes be.

Little lights that shine like beacons.
 I thank the Lord for them, and their presence in my life.
(I am going to stop now, before I make a mess of myself!)


 I am making tags to go on gifts:

Lots of die cutting and texture <3>

What did I do before that Big Shot?

Lastly, a bit of Christmas Cheer to send
you on your way. . .


A pin that sparkles and shines:

The double bow was inspired by the front
of the catalog, and it makes me happy!

I will be giving you a bit of how-to and sharing
some insight on that later, so you can check back for that.

Have a wonderful holiday!
Jan is next, so hop on over. . .
