Queen of the Crop event

A faboulous time for all was to be had by all 45 women.  We stayed up until 4:30 am. slept until 10 and went all night again... 50 hours of creativity.  My stampin up booth went well. I have 6 booked parties.. and sold a good amount of stamps.  So happy.  Nice people, great times..

THIS WEEKEND

Its going to be a fun one... I'm attending a 3 day scrapbooking retreat with 45 other women.  I'll be hosting a make n  take stamping station through my stampin up business.   Will take lots of pictures and post them next week.   On the family businssess side of things. Mason is doing good, gaining weight but is having a few bouts with Colic. Poor mamma is sleep deprived.  And the big news, My husband is retiring this coming November.   The following june, we'll be relocating to Idaho..  So excited. Living our dream of a country life is a year away.  Hopefully all our kids will be moving with us. 

Our first Grandson Mason Roy Vines

I have a new Inspiration....

I am inspired, tired and excited. My oldest grandaughter Christina gave birth to my first grandson Mason Roy Vines on 2/2/11. i wonder what a numeroligist would tell us about his birth date?  Here is a glipse of my new inspiration... time to work on a new book and keepsake for him.  Love him so much. My husband Ken asked.. righty or lefty? I need to know what baseball glove to buy him.  We feel so blessed and we are so thankful to the good lord above for our blessings.

Valentines Tags..

My friends and I are swaping valentines tags for the first time. We decided that we would do a tag swap once a month.  Looking foward to what they've got in store... Here is what I've made. A lot of layering, and vintage images.. and of course ink, stamps and embellishments.  I also posted a picture of my messy table... just for the fun of it. It amazes me how little work space I need with it all piled up with STUFF.   I love my life!

Christmas Bliss

This Christmas was a very magical year for us. My oldest daughter is 8 months pregnant and baby Mason was putting on quite a show for us, our grandaughter Autumn was AMAZING when she found the pile of presents by the fireplace and all our kids have grown into amazing adults who we enjoy spending time with.  This year we had Dominique ( Anthonys new girlfriend) join us and she is quite a amazing person who added shine and laughter to our family along with Brynns girlfriend Ashley.  We are so blessed with 5 amazing kids... ( let me tell you that they haven't always be.en amazing).  I made autumn and christina matching aprons and oven mitts which they both loved, and Tony is loved by his niece very much.   Last picture autumn was all snuggley with her mommy and baby Mason.  Did I mention that we are very blessed?
