Great things are happening, CHA and more!

CHA is just around the corner and great things are happening!!
I'm going to be teaching the Bella Blvd./Punky Sprouts class on Tuesday, July 27th. It's going to be really awesome! We'll be creating a really fun mixed medium project and playing with all kinds of fun products!

I'll be teaching my new books for the first time at Creative Cuts and Crafts in Chicago!! So make sure to sign up when the classes go up! They will take place BEFORE the show!

Tomorrow I get to play with the products that I designed!

I'm working on the NAMES! I have been thinking about them a lot! Shelly has too. She knows me very well and has come up with some good ones.

I was looking at this picture and was thinking...what name would fit great in here?

It needs to be something personal or something that represents me well. The word crazy keeps coming to mind but I don't think that would work well. LOL

Anyways, I look forward to seeing those going there!!!

Sign up for my class, because we are going to have fun!!!

Hugs,

Pictures that make me happy!!!

This last week has been a very busy one for me! It's been filled with lots of events and deadlines. Even though I'm exhausted because it's been non-stop, I have to say that each experience has been wonderful.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of going to my grandson's spring recital. Even though he didn't perform due to stage fright, we had such a great time and after the recital we all hung out.

My parents LOVE pictures so I asked them if they wanted some pictures taken. They were happy to pose for me!! They are so cute!!! Here are some of my favorites

BEFORE the recital...Sierra and I made posters!!!

As you all know, I am a PROUD jam-ma!

It didn't matter to me that Tanner didn't get on stage, I was going to be there for him period!

Afterwards, we congratulated him...he's so cute!

Isn't he just the cutest??? I just love this little guy!

On Friday, we celebrated Sierra's KIDS party!! We do this every year. Even though her birthday isn't until the 4th of July, it's really hard to get the little friends over then so we celebrate her kids party in June before school ends. Sierra was so happy to have her friends over. We went to Color me Mine. She had a blast!!!! After the party all the kids came over to play. It wasn't planned. I had a huge crop to go too, so Paul had the pleasure of watching them. LOL

I came home and he was ZONKED on the couch! LOL

I have a lot of fun things going on. I've been on the go every day but I know when it's all done, it will all be worth it!!! So keep in touch!!!!

Hugs,

Proud to be these boys JAM-MA!

When I was young, I thought grandma's were these sweet little old ladies that sewed stuff for you and made you eat liver if you were sick.

That's probably because mine was like that. She was so adorable!!

ME? Not so much!! LOL

Let's see...when my grandkids grow up I want them to remember me as a wild and crazy one that was more than happy to have water fights with them in the kitchen, get down on the floor and play cars with them, put them on my shoulders, bring them yummy stuff instead of just the "healthy" stuff.

I love my boys!! They bring me so much happiness!!

Their little faces make me smile the second I see them!

I love my Tanner's crazy hair! It covers half his face and when he see's me, he is so happy!!!

I love the way that my little Tristan points to everything with a serious look. I love that even though he can't speak yet, I know exactly what he wants!

I love that they know that they can come over and get crazy with grandma!!

This grandma wears pig tails and snorts when she laughs!!

I love that I'm their Jam-ma!

CHA is just around the corner....and WE are excited!!!

So looking forward to tag teaming with this gal!!!!

Hope to see you there!!!

Leave me a comment and someone will win one of my kits after CHA!!!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-hawwwwwwwwww!!!!

Just got back from one of the most fun and HOT experiences of my life!!! LOL

The hot part? Let's see....100 degrees by 5am? Holy moly!!!! Shelly, Sarah, and I were dying from this crazy heat!!! When we weren't, we were LAUGHING and being CRAZY and having an amazing good time!!!!! Seriously, we think we should write a book. LOL

The three of us had a great time at the Great American Scrapbook Convention.

We met a lot of wonderful people!!! Not just Texans...scrappers came from all over the world!!

I was asked to teach and I had a blast doing it! While I was there I was also asked to MC the crop nights that took place in the evening!!! Wasn't expecting to do that, LOL, but I had a blast!!!! Thank you to all the HUNDREDS of woman that attended and made my experience so wonderful!!!

Here are some pics from our trip!

Shelly and I with Amy!!! She's on our Paper Tree House design team!!!

My two "bosses". LOL Shelly from Punky Sprouts and Stephanie from Bella Blvd.

Love you girls!!!!

Stephanie and I. She took my class at GASC!

One of the pictures I took of one of my classes. Sorry for those that left and didn't get to be in the picture. I totally forgot to take pictures. LOL

Can't wait til' next year!! It's going to be a blast!

My Paper tree house kit club projects!!!

So exciting!! The day has finally arrived.

I remember the day that I got my kit. I opened up the package and squealed!!!

This kit comes filled with a lots of fun stuff! I love how everything coordinates so well and how the colors stand out!!

My first project is this HOME banner. Normally I would look at a lot of product and that alone would take me a long time to put together but since everything went well together, I popped out this puppy in one night at a crop! Everything but the Punky Sprouts album (taken apart to become a banner) and some paint is in this kit. That's a lot of stuff!!

Here are some close ups!!

After I completed that banner I still had a ton of product so I did a layout.

I love this owl!!! He's so cute!!

I still had products so I created another layout.

I still have tons more product so I'm going to create a few more layouts and cards.

You will love this kit!! Make sure to check out all the add on's including the one with the Punky Sprouts album.

If you want to purchase this kit go HERE!!!

Did you know that $5.00 of every kit will go towards the Children's foundation? Way cool!
