holy cow i had a fantastic weekend in texas and louisiana teaching! it was non-stop fun from the moment i arrived to the very last second we left! i ate shrimp etouffee and boudin (pronounced boo-daeh), hung out with the ladies, so much creativity, so much freedom to create. ladies i had a wonderful time, thanks so much!
i am home hugging my babies today and tomorrow i am off to ISRAEL!!
i can hardly believe it!
so many things to get done, so little time (like laundry, ick!)
i just added some of my fun new page kits to the shop today. i have been working hard to finish them up before i left and kandi spent the weekend getting them all labeled and packaged up and ready to ship!
whoo hoo!!
we also just got in the new art magnets i ordered...i love them!
they are much sturdier than the first release of magnets and because i like them so much better, while i am gone i am going to offer the old ones at 50% off! and free shipping! (i am secretly hoping there are no more left, cause i am only going to order the new ones in the future, i like them so much!)
just wanted to share a few fun moments from this weekend!!
Have an amazing time! So jealous!!!

I'm so glad you had a great time in Louisiana. I tried to make a reservation for the class and was willing to drive the 3 hrs. to come and see you but they were full. :(
Have a great trip to Israel.

Oh wow! Looks like you had a great time! Have a safe trip tomorrow! :)
I guess free shipping is just for the Americans huh? :( I would load up on the magnets but cant justify the $20 shipping. lol

Well, all I can say is WOW! I had an awesome time in your class. I am my own worst student (I would never want me in my classes...but I think I did so great Sunday) and that is because you were absolutely so much fun and loved learning new techniques that I have never seen! I hope I get the opportunity to see you again and take more of your classes. Thanks so much for inspiring me.

I tried to place an order for the magnets, and $29 for shipping instead of free shipping......... :-( Can you help us ????

Donna I had the most amazing time in your class on Saturday at The Junkie. You inspired me on so many levels! Your warmth and genuine spirit was like a breath of fresh air. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your amazing talent with the scrapbooking community. If only I had signed up for both classes. You can be sure that if you pass through Texas again...I will be there. Come back to The Junkie again real soon!!
