April was a very busy month for me! I had 2 workshops (one with 20 guests!), I signed up my first recruit, had my biggest month in sales yet, and attended Stampin' Up Regionals. What a blast that was! I swapped 45 card fronts, 10 6x6 scrapbook pages and 18 3-D items. I was disappointed that no one was really swapping the scrapbook pages, but I did get some extra card fronts out of the deal. I came home with 50 card fronts and a load of cute 3-D's. I did however forget to take pics of all of my swaps before I gave them all away. :( Oops! I do have a scrapbook page that I can still upload...but I just took 2 1/2 hours unloading all of the pics that I took at Regionals and my computer is soooo slow, I just don't want to deal with it anymore today! Next time. I learned some great new techniques and I can't wait for my Watercolour Crayons and Aquapainters to get here. I will do some creating then and upload some of those images. I have been steadily working on swaps for an upcoming demo meeting, and an assortment of cards for a good friend of mine. As usual it looks like a craft bomb went off in the Stamp and Scrap Shack, but really it's organized chaos. LOL! I finally tried my new Gel-a-tins Chocolate Bliss stamps and scented embossing powder last night. Mmm, mmm good! Will post picks of that next time too.
The SU retirement list came out on May 1st...I will be losing 8 sets and of course the 3 hostess sets that I have as well. Not too bad really, but that is half of my collection. I have really held myself back when it came to ordering stamp sets this year. I mostly ordered paper, ink and embellishments. Some of my fellow demos are in much rougher shape, losing 50+ sets. OUCH! I went through all of my Regional swaps this morning and due to the retirement list I will only be able to use 14 out of my 50 swaps for my display board once the new Catty comes out. I can't feel too bad though. All of the swaps that I did used either the DS paper from the Spring mini, or sets that will now be retiring. Sorry ladies...but what can you do?
I'm so looking forward to May Long weekend. We'll be headed to Vancouver Island to meet up with friends for camping and some much needed R&R.

A place for sharing crafty creativity, and for me to blather on about the pros and cons of motherhood.
Being a mother has changed my perspective on life...I'm smart, confident,
and FIERCE!
About Me
- Mrs. Me
- Welcome to my blog. I love paper. What can I say. Anything that you can do with it...scrapbooking, cards, gifts...the list goes on. I found my passion in scrapbooking nearly ten years ago, and I am addicted. I used to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, but I don't have the instinct for sales, so now I've gone back to being just a customer. I teach stamping classes at a local craft market. If there is a twelve step program for this...I don't want to know about it. My husband is probably near the "she needs an intervention" point, but he still just smiles and nods. My son just turned one, and there is a lot of poop around here too! He is the light of my life.
