things that make me happy...!

ok so lets play a little catch up today...

i have been traveling so much, i feel like there is so much i want to share. so today i am just going to purge!

first and foremost i must share this!!!
darrell schultz you totally ROCK!!! i love it...you are totally da man!

• 

thank you teri for being just so dang fun...your hubby is a keeper. just looking at this makes me giggle in a good way!

• then i must share with you about my new Canadian friend Janna!

her site www.lettersbyjanna.com is up and running (ok, i just checked and the site is not working...whats up janna?) i just saw her at cku-provo and she is taking orders for her amazingly big letters...all sizes all fonts! just email her at [email protected]. i just sent ali her big "a" and now that i am down to only one more travel date in the next 45 days, i am totally psyched to get to my big "d".

• on that note...i hope i will see some of my NC friends (and non nc friends) at the beach this weekend in Wilmington, NC at SCRAPBOOK NOOK. what could be better for memorial day weekend but a little fun in the sun and a little fun scrapbooking, my perfect combo! i am bringing the whole family with me...ROAD TRIP!!!!

• then there are these stamps cool Maggie Mae Stamps i want to share with you. i was fortunate enough to meet the owner of this NEW company in TX and she gave me these 2 sets Lucinda & This way to Austin...they rock!

• many of you wanted to know who made this stamp...

it is made by printworks, but i couldn't find a website. i got it at Roberts in UT.

• i also scored these fabulous foam stamps from teresa collins of JUNKITZ...ok these stamps are so awesome and they hang! yes they hand by ribbon. they are clear so you can see exactly where you want to place them and they stamp clean! love the designs a total must have!

• i just read both ali and cathy's new books in their entirety over the past two weeks and THEY ARE AMAZING...really. i know they are my friends but i am so inspired but not only their words but the art that emanates from them. from one idea book collector and connoisseur to another...GO BUY THESE BOOKS!!

i have more to share i am sure...i just can't think of it all right now.
i have to go pick up payton from preschool and do the grocery shopping, laundry...well you know the drill. i have been away for a while and the cupboard is looking a little bare.

have an awesome wednesday and make sure to watch american idol!!!
hey ali do you want me to email you the results tonight?

I found www.printworkscollection.com and they do have rubber stamps, but couldn't find the YOU ROCK one yet. :( I'll keep looking though and post it here if I find it. I just have to have one!! Thanks for the info.

Hi Donna,
You can find the stamp "You Rock" at www.acountrywelcome.com
It looks like the price is $5 for the stamp.

[deb munn]

what do you think LOL? you think I can wait that long to know who wins? it better be Taylor...

[Bec]

I am still raving about the class in Waco. Definitely worth the drive!
A week or two before that Theresa came to San Åntonio and I got to try out the stamps. Loved them. Reminds me I need to see if any came to the local stores.
Now you need to make an iRock T-shirt, oh, fellow MacHead. Wonder if Apple would get bunched about it.
Life is good.

[Susan Opel]

Taylor Hicks rules ALMOST as much as you do, double D!

[Jessica K.]

I want you to email ME the results!!! It is not on until 7pm here and that is like 10pm your time! Go taylor and Kat....I just don't know who I'd rather win???

[Shawnna/ flipflopmom]

OMGosh -- I LOVE THOSE ARROWS -- those stamps look delicious (This way to Austin) They should be titled "this way to my scrap room" cause I have to have some

[brianna]

Whew. Lots of cool stuff here. Thanks, Donna!

[Donna M.]

Donna: Just a quick note. Say HI! from the north to Scrapbook Nook. My late parents retired to just outside Wilmington and I used to visit there all the time when I visited them. I saw the store start as literally a "nook" and continue to grow. I wish I was closer (Buffalo, NY doesn't count) so I could visit again AND take a class with you! Have a great time, and get them to take you to dinner at the Port City Chop House or to my favorite, The Bridge Tender near Wrightsville Beach. Donna M. (just another Donna!)

[Deanna]

i love you d!i love Teresa Collins new stamps too. tfs the other stamps too! Good to 'see' you today. hope you have a really great time at the beach!!! :)

[Suezi]

Rock On Soul Patrol!!! Taylor Hicks Rocks and so do YOU!!!

[Marchelle]

Donna! Loved your Do-Ability class. Got home and showed my mom all the class projects I did...Do-Ability was her favorite. Totally outside my comfort zone, stretched and liked the layout more each time I looked at it. Hope you enjoy your Lazy Scrapper paint can half as much as I enjoyed your class!
Blessings,
Marchelle

I would have loved to go to Wilmington as its only a five hour drive or so from Concord, but I have to work. Hope everyone who goes has fun!!! Do you think you'll ever be teaching another class at Scrapbooks 'n more in Concord? I know you were teaching classes there. I would love to get to take one of them. Have a great weekend!

[Tracy]

Hi Donna,
I'll be at the Scrapbook Nook, looking forward to your class.

[monica in raleigh]

[Carrie]

Thanks for all the cool links. The shirts are just awesome too! It is on my wishlist!

Was Wisconsin not so good for you, you didn't say much about it. ;) It is a beautiful state, sorry the weather wasn't so good for you. Hope you come back sometime!
