Another Scrapbookers Dream Vacation!!

Woohoo!! Nancy from Dream Events emailed me this morning and asked if I would be interested in setting up as a vendor at the upcoming Camp Hill, PA. Am I interested? Of course!! These scrapbooking weekends are a blast! Imagine this...you are "forced" to sit in a HUGE room with 300+ other people for up to four days and all you have on your agenda is scrapbooking. There is music playing and massage therapists available into the wee hours of the morning to ease those tired neck muscles. Now, imagine all the wonderful vendors who bring in every scrapbooking supply you can imagine and you can walk up and browse whenever you want. No driving to the local scrapbook store...no waiting in line (unless it's Sunday morning and you are paying your tab)...and no family to distract you with demands to be driven here or there. Sound like heaven? I can vouch for it -- it is wonderful! You pick how many days you want to attend and you can even share a room with another scrapbooker to save on expenses. This truly is a Dream Vacation for scrapbookers! I have to admit, though...one of my favorite parts of the weekend is Saturday night when they crank up the music and play "YMCA" by the Village People. Those scrapbookers are up dancing in the aisles!!

The Camp Hill SDV is Thursday, July 31st through Sunday, August 3 and is being held at the Radisson Penn Harris Hotel & Convention Center. Hope to see you there!!

Until the next time...happy scrapping!

Has anyone seen my Kidz?

Okay, I know I'm not the only one who has done this...I had several of the Chef Kidz from Scrapbooker's Buzz for one of my new kits and I've managed to "misplace" them. Now normally that wouldn't be a problem, but this time it has created quite a catastrophe. See, I posted the new "What's Cookin'?" kit last week and it was so popular that I sold out of all of the kits that I had within 4 days. That wasn't a problem until I realized that I had put the rest of the Chef Kidz someplace safe. Right now they are so safe that even I can't find them!! :*( Don't panic if you just have to have this kit, though...I've already sent Teresa an email begging her to make more Kidz for us. There may be a slight delay but hopefully this kit will be available again within the next week or two. In the meantime, be sure to check out the other new kits on the site.

If you have never seen the Special Delivery kit in person, you are missing out! It features an adorable stork and lots of mats to load up with pictures of that new baby plus some adorable baby themed ribbon sliders from Pebbles. As always, assembly is simple. We even assembled the stork for you so that you can focus on the rest of the layout.

We have also added a re-designed Florida kit and a Fish Tales kit, so be sure to check them out. If you are looking for overlays, be sure to check back often. I've added several new ones -- they are just waiting on me to scan them so I can add them to the website.

Until the next time...

Layout from a customer

I know, you aren't going to believe this but I'm actually posting yet again. ;) I'm hoping to starting posting on a regular basis so be sure to check back often or subscribe to our blog to be notified of updates.


Today's post is about a layout that one of my customers sent me. When I was at the Scrapper's Dream Event in Kingsport, Angie stopped in and shopped for kits. She mentioned that she already owned some of my kits and was telling me how much she liked them so I asked her if she would mind sharing one of them with me to post in the gallery. Once I get the gallery up on the site, I will include it there but for now, I wanted to display it in my blog. The kit is the Mom kit and features lots of cardstock and patterned paper along with the title "Moms are like Quilts". It also includes a quote about moms and why they are like quilts. I think Angie did a wonderful job!


The Mom kit is very special one to me...it was created in honor of my mother who passed away last June from complications of lymphoma. Because of this, 10% of the sales from this kit are donated to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society every year when we do the Light the Night Walk. Last year, our family raised $1700 for the cause. In memory of Mom, I will be doing a special offer on the website in August so be watching...you will save money while helping me raise money for a good cause.

Until next time...

Catching Up (yet again!)

Okay, okay, I know I have been a terrible blogger lately but actually I have had a semi-good excuse. I was busy getting ready for the Scrapper's Dream Vacation in Raleigh-Durham, NC. Wow! What an awesome time!! I met lots of new people and had a wonderful time. Well, until Sunday that is. That's when I finally ventured out to my car and discovered that my back window was shattered from the heat. :O I finally got it covered with plastic and taped up and got everything loaded up and on the road. I made it home at around 3am. Oh, and did I forget to mention I got stopped for speeding on the way home, too?? Gosh, what a trip but I'm home, safe and sound and ready to go again. The next one that I will be attending will be...are you ready for this???...DISNEY! Woohoo!! I am SO excited!!

More later...
