Post Christmas

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night

A Christmas Cookie for you featuring a Robyn Fetish digi stamp.

This Christmas we were out to the Poconos and drove home to the city in the snow before it got really bad. Today we are SNOWED in and Kayla has tons of new fun toys to play with while we are home. Here is picture of our tree last night. I always organized under the tree and Kayla's stuff is mostly in the front (We are truly blessed)

My crafting goodies for Christmas. I got a GYPSY (YAYAYAY) I was so super excited (thanks Hubby). I also got the Serenade Cricut Cartidge and a gift card to Michael's. I would have went shopping today, but we are snowed in. This picture is taken on top of my daughter's new Dora table.

What crafting goodies did you get for Christmas this yr??

I hope everyone has a great safe Halloween. So this weekend was full of Halloween fun for the lil one.
On Friday October 29th Kayla's daycare had their annual Halloween party. Costumes and of course all the kids left with a Halloween bag of goodies.

On Saturday October 30th Mall-O-Ween (Halloween fun at the mall) filled with pumkin decoring, coloring Halloween pictures, giveaways, and of course more candy. Right after that we went to Toysrus of more Halloween fun (The mall and Toysrus are very close, so it all worked out perfect) which included a costume parade with Geoffrey, giveaways, coloring fun, and more candy.

Charlotte CKC

Hey Everyone, I went to my first convention. I attended CKC in Charlotte on Aug 13, 2010 and I have to share my experience with you. This will be a long post mostly pictures.

So here is some feedback on the classes I took:

Boxxer (fri) - This is a lecture class. I learned some good tips & tricks in this class. Angie (she held the class) was funny.They have a new Disney collection thats super hot. They gave a ton of product for us to take home. They had a free make-n-take at there booth and nice coupons. I would buy from them in the future. Here are the products we recieved in the class (the flowers are missing from the picture).

Flower Tech Class (fri) - Megan H taught this class. I was super excited to meet her she is a great editor and true sweetheart (she loved the gift I gave her). We learned how to make about 5 - 6. I learned techniques I'll defintly use later in my crafts. I will post up the layout when I finish the full layout. All in all I think this was a great class. Megan did a great job teaching this class. We learned how to use the I-top tool (kool product).

Then I was off to the Vendor Show I took my cuz with me she did a few cute make-n-take cards. I got her a few things to get her into scrapbooking. Then I did some shopping. I finally got some flower soft, so I'm really excited to use it. I learned more about it at one of the make-n-takes. There were aleast 3 or 4 vendors that had dollar supplies. Scrapbuck was one of my fav stops.

The Convention CenterA sky view of the vendor fair.Here is what I got from the vendor fair, all on the couch.The Best deals at the Convention for me was .......

1) The CK Christmas Card kit with 30 cards and a bunch of other things for only $10 dollars.2) Scrapbook creations had Hero Arts Clear Stamp set for $5.00. Some layouts and kool pics I just had to share with you guys.Boxxer ScrapbookTechinque TuesdayPretty Flowers (close up)Motivet rubber stamps (super adorable)
Later that day I brought Kayla back with me to pick up something. She'll be crafting with me sooner then she thinks.

There is my trip to CKC in Charlotte. I had a blast, meet some new friends, and got some really kool new products. Thanks for stopping by.
