All washed out....

Literally. So Deb and I have been working hard and soooo looking forward to selling our crafts at Bates Nut Farm. This is a huge show and we've been counting down the days...I've been kinda sorta ignoring my household chores (sorry guys) BUT the kids have rallied and helped out ALOT! THANK YOU MY AWESOME BABIES! So, your probably wondering why I'm telling you all of this, those of you local gals may know why. For the first time in 166 days IT RAINED CATS AND DOGS....AND HAILED! So the show was cancelled for today and we have to go back tomorrow and see what Mother Nature has in store for us!


This is just a glimpse of what we arrived to at 7:30 this morning....

Hard to see the hail but the mini lake is visible! But we made the best of a bad day...my mom and her friend met us and we had a day of shopping and lunch, we also visited Canterbury Gardens which is an AMAZING little store that anyone who LOVES Christmas has to visit. It is truly magical!

Just a little recap on our shop hop today:

Stamping Details in Poway, a hidden gem with a great variety of scrapbook and rubber stamp supplies. They also offer tons of FABULOUS classes and the owner DiAnn is very sweet!

Cool Scrapbook Stuff in Poway, this is really a scrapbook superstore! If your looking for it, they have it! Twilight fans read on....I found out from one of their friendly employees that Twilight scrapbook product is on the way!!!!!!!!! She couldn't give me a date but she did say it's in production so be on the lookout!

Michael's...I'm sure you have one in your neighborhood...no explanation or link necessary

Big Lot's...same as above BUT don't count them out when looking for AMAZING deals on scrapbook stuff!

And of course a lovely tour of Canterbury Gardens in Escondido and lunch at El Comal in Poway.

So with all of this and the fact that I have to pick Debbie up at 6:30am to head back up to Bates Nut Farm...I'm going to sleep!!!!

Night All!

Here's the album....

sorry, I gave you a sneak peek awhile ago and haven't had a chance to post it til now! So here is the Merry Christmas Album...it's for sale on my Etsy shop if your interested.

So on a BRIGHT side...I just received an order for 50...yes I said 50 mini albums!!! They are going to be centerpieces for a convention being attended by 400-500 people. Talk about AMAZING, I don't say this often but I feel blessed by this experience, it has put a few things into perspective for me. I also received 2 other pretty big orders...it's all coming together for me and I'm just to excited for words!!!
Thank you to EVERYONE, who reads my blog or orders my product! It really helps keep me motivated. So to end, hard work and consistancy will pay off, stay positive!!!
So on that note, I gotta get to work!
Nighty Night!!!

Recharging my batteries

So I started getting a little overwhelmed with life, work and keeping up with business and I had to do something to re-energize! I decided to read a book I bought a long time ago, Real Women Scrap by Tasra Dawson. It's a great book, check it out here

Have a great day and go check out the site!!
