Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you were all able to enjoy the beautiful day yesterday with your moms or children or grandchildren! We had a get-together at our house yesterday for my in-laws and just grilled out. It was supposed to be cold and windy yesterday, but turned out that it wasn't too bad after all, about 66* and we were able to hang out outside for a bit! Unfortunately since I was busy hosting the party, I didn't manage to get ANY photos yesterday!

Label Tulip sneaks...

I have a couple of sneaks for you from the upcoming May kit at Label Tulip! If you haven't signed up for the newsletter yet, you can go to the site and look towards the bottom of the screen for the sign up link. You'll get sneak peeks e-mailed to you on the 5th of every month and the kits go up for sale on reveal night the 15th at 6 pm PST. This one is called Lollipop Forest...I love all of the new products in this kit that I hadn't seen yet! Those little chipboard frames are the cutest! I have more projects to go with it, but that was just a little taste for you! =)
___________________________

My last project for Emma's Paperie is up on their blog, a shabby little wedding box that I created from a match box with Melissa Frances products! I thought it would be a fun little keepsake box for a special couple and pretty inexpensive to create.
Please visit Emma's to view more photos of the box, supplies and directions! Emma's carries a ton of the Melissa Frances supplies if you have been looking for them.

Hey there, everyone!

I'm back from my fun trip to Masssachusetts! We had a blast and it was so much fun meeting all the nice croppers there at Right at Home Scrapbooking! They were all so welcoming, and I even got to meet a few people that I've chatted on-line with, so much fun! Lisa and Sharon were SO wonderful and accommodating to me...I can't wait to go back again!

Here are a few pics. This is Lisa, one of the store owners (on right) and me on the left.
My sister-in-law on right helping everyone with the hot gluing on the frame. She was a huge help!
Some of the wonderful croppers that we met....
The frame class was a big hit! I'll have to get more photos when I get it back again to share with you. I changed a few things on it and like it better now. Here are the cards we made in the Pink Paislee card class.
You can still purchase the kit I believe if you want one! Just check out the Right at Home link above!

Thanks for stopping in. I'm exhausted and have so much to catch up on, so I'm going to head out and get a few things done. Unfortunately, we are all coming down with some kind of flu (I HOPE it's not the swine flu!!). We have all been feeling sick with a sore throat, headache, and all the other stuff... yuck. Stay healthy out there!
