New Found Friends to New Phase in Life!!






I had the wonderful opportunity last month to go to Las Vegas with Emily Short (Chickypie)(one of my Design Team) to attend Memory Trends! The show itself was not impressive. I placed orders for my November and December kits (both of which were messed up in the transition after the show), and I found a BeAuTiFuL new line of paper that I want to use for my January kit. Hmmmm, do you think that I want to tell you what it is? :) I guess you will have to stay tuned!

The definite highlights of the trip were: Meeting (in person) Jaime Lea (jaimelynne)(also on my Design Team), and spending a lot of time with her. Jaime lives in Las Vegas and was such a wonderful tour guide, and chauffeur. We had so much fun with her, and I wish that I could have had so much more time to spend with her! She is such a beautiful, fun lady!

The next highlight was being able to meet Cheryl Nelson (cheryljunegirl)(another Design Team Member), and to be able to invite ourselves to attend the SOY (Scrapbooker of the Year) Awards Banquet, to be there to support Cheryl! She was one of the top ten SOY finalists for this year! And it is well-deserved! She, like all the members of my Design Team, has amazing talent!!!

And, another fun highlight of the trip was being able to meet Lisa Bearnson, the head of Creating Keepsakes. She rode on the plane down to Vegas with Emily and I, and we introduced ourselves to her in the Las Vegas airport. Then, we saw her at the keynote address that night (Stacy Julian spoke, another amazing lady), and that's when we invited ourselves to the awards banquet. She was gracious enough to let us attend and then was impressed that there were seats enough to accomodate us! Hmmm, must have been meant to be!

Now, on to the new Phase in Life!!

My baby is not a baby anymore!! Carly, who just turned 6 in September, just lost her first tooth!!! I never thought that I would be to this point in my life, and at 46, I would have thought that all of my kids would have been older! But, I know that there is a Master Plan, and Someone who knows me better than I do is watching over me all the time. So, now that my baby is growing up, I guess that it is time for me to do the same!! :)
