Well, if you have been watching my schedule and looking to see me at the Dakota County Fair - you will not find me.  While I could speculate as to why the fair cancelled my booth the night before I was to go there, the result is the same.  But, you are soooo in luck!   You can catch me Saturday at the Pierce County Fair in Ellsworth Wisconsin AND of course there is my Open House this week!  Make sure you RSVP for either Thursday and Saturday – I have been busy making the gifts you will be receiving! 

This card is one posted on the Stampin’ Up! website – the demonstrator portion.  Isn’t it gorgeous?  There is a talented pool of fellow demonstrators!  Many of you often ask how I get my ideas. . . Stampin’ Up! provides a plethora of ideas and I am never at a shortage!  You could have this resource at your fingertips PLUS get a discount on your Stampin’ Up! supplies for an $85 investment this month!  Ask me for more details. 

Well, I am packing for convention!   Here are the swap cards I have prepared. . . .don’t you wish you could swap with me?  I am looking forward to seeing friends from around the country and having a ton of fun!  I sure wish everyone could join me.  Make sure you check my website at least daily – I will try and post some great pics.  The best way to reach me the next several days if you want to book your workshop or rsvp for a class is to email me. . . . . Jim will be home holding down the fort if you need to actually talk to someone – we all know he’ll enjoy chatting with you!
