Summer is winding down, (although it's getting really hot here now!) Kirstin has already started her freshman year in college and Katie starts high school on 9/1. Where did my summer go?!?
Oh, yeah....
I was a little busy...
The first week in June, we were at the Great American Scrapbook Convention in Arlington, TX.
Katie graduated from 8th grade, and two hours later I was on a plane to Puerto Rico.
I had a few weeks off and celebrated Kirstin graduating from high school.
I then found myself in Chicago.
The next week, I was in PA.
The next week was Nashville, TN.
Then, Katie and I took off for Hawaii for three days. And YES. I did take a FULL day off! No phone, no emails, no texts. Ken texted me that morning and I insisted Katie call him back and tell him I was taking a day off! ;) (This is actually a big deal. I even manage to work an hour or two on Christmas Day when the family is napping!) {That's what happens when you LOVE your job!} ;)
So, I guess I had an eventful summer. ;)
This fall, I'll find myself in South Africa for ten days, Houston, TX for Sizzix, St. Louis, Ontario (California), Seattle and...hmmm....wow...that might be all. ;)
I hope you've all had a great summer. :)
Also.....
Did you know we are sponsoring the CPS Blog this week? If you aren't familiar with this awesome blog, it's where a sketch by Tami is posted and then you get to see great examples by their design team and then you can play for a chance to win! ;)
So, for fun, I created a card using the sketch. Here's the sketch.....
And here's my card.....
For my card I used praise4Him, Thanks2You and type4background. :) The patterned paper is by My Mind's Eye and the twine of course is from The Twinery. :) Oh, and the inks, well yeah, mine. ;) Didn't get the dies on this one, but I bet you'll be seeing more of the dies soon! ;)
Big Happy Hugs!
