Top Five Place at Leadership CTMH Scrapbooking in Melbourne, Florida

Hey y'all!!! I'd like to say that I'm back in the saddle again, but ugh. Still feel and sound a bit crappy. But better than my poor sweet mom...she went in the hospital this morning!!! She has bronchitis (no, I did not give it to her...tee hee) and is getting IV antibiotics. God love. When it rains it pours. I just hope she bounces back quickly and gets to come home tomorrow!

So......remember my non-winning cards from Leadership Conference? Well, here are my non-winning placecards and napkin rings - ha! We were challenged to make a gift item for less than a dollar. So I bought some super-cheap ponytail holders (yes, I have a ponytail), CTMH's rockin' stamp set "Extreme Happiness: (hibiscus and border) and some pretty, pretty cardstock. I was selected to be in the top 5, so that rocked, right???? "It's an honor to be selected" (in my best beauty-queen voice.

No stories tonight (although I am saving up some)....gotta call my mommy ;-)

Sweet dreams,

CTMH Leadership Conference Update! CTMH Scrapbooking in Melbourne, Florida

Okay, ladies! Here we go! Not much to report yet; we think we're getting the new book, announcements etc. at General Session tomorrow morning.

But for the create n take tonight, we got a new paper pack, "Twitterpated"! Colors are Sorbet, Sweet Leaf, Chocolate and Crystal Blue. Sorbet B&T with tiny Chocolate dots, a striped pattern with all colors, a page with acorns, a brown plaid, a sweet leaf circle pattern and a pretty Asian-looking choc and cw stripe with choc vines and sorbet leaves. "Hello There" stamp set with a cool vine and leaves, mushroom caps and stems, a porcupine (cute) and three sentiments. Also a packet of brads with four colors (like the ones we got last book), except each color has bitty, normal and bigger brads! Cute chipboard buttons in colors and patterns to match the papers. We used all these tonight to make a two-page layout with a new WOTG guide. The guide includes patterns for three cards also. Still have a couple of layouts from the pattern books.

We are so sleepy!!! Can't wait till tomorrow!

p.s. thanks for your kind comments about the design team. I can't wait!!!
