Just a quick note to say that I'm honored to have been tagged and awarded by so many talented ladies recently... I feel that I've already bored you with my tag answers several times, so I am going to forgo listing my answers again. Just wanted to say thanks to all who have tagged me an nominated me for awards lately. I appreciate you all!
OK.. now it's almost time to be off to convention!

My new friend, Stacey Carter, designed a FABULOUS T-shirt for her upline's Stampahowlics group for convention, and I knew I wanted one for my group too!! So she designed a shirt for my Luv 2 Stamp Group - we can wear them to convention or anytime - workshops, meetings, around town, Stamp Camps, etc.!! What a FUN way to advertise what you do!
Here are some samples of the shirts she's done so far:
(this is for my group only):
For the Stampahowlics group:
Stacey has more designs available and can custom design anything for your group! Individuals can order and pay for their choice of shirts and they are delivered directly to each person, so you don't even need to coordinate huge orders and worry about disribution or anything! yahooo!
CONTACT STACEY THROUGH HER T-SHIRT WEBSITE HERE.
Sending out my warmest wishes to every mom out there... HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
Here are a few roses from my garden to wish all you moms a GREAT DAY !

Here are my 7 random facts:
Remember my post back in October ok, September, whatever, about CUTTING UP YOUR STAMPS to mount them on separate blocks? Well.... Mitch "the block guy" now has his own website!! Way to go Mitch!
>>>PLEASE VISIT MITCH at: www.theblockguy.com <<<
He's got more blocks to offer now, and he's thinking about putting up a "poll" to see which sets you'd like separate blocks for! How cool, huh?
Here is what I did with my Happiness Background stamp after getting the separate blocks from Mitch:
I really enjoy using that stamp that way rather than as one large block.
Please visit Mitch and let him know what sets you'd like blocks for... like "Block Party" !
Happy Stampin'!

This weekend I've been listening to this awesome new CD...
Check out Greg O's website here and you can click on the song titles to hear a little of each song from this CD... it's AWESOME!! He's got the GREATEST sound!!!
It really puts you in a great Christmas mood! I ordered it right off his site and had my order within a week. I got several to give as gifts! Thanks to Julie for turning me on to his music!
Enjoy!

I've been Tagged by Joani.. check out her fun blog here. I am supposed to tell you 7 things about me and tag other bloggers to do the same.... oh my... here it goes...
1. hmmmmmm this is harder than it seems!! OK... I'm a California Native.. .born and raised here. So was my mom, and so is my son!
2. I love to cruise... places we've cruised to (thanks to Stampin' Up!): Eastern and Western Caribbean, Alaska, Panama Canal, Bermuda - 8 cruises total I think.
3. Favorite TV shows: "24", anything on HGTV, and the current "Everest" series.
4. Jobs I've had: Drafting positions for: architects, structural engineers and landscape architects. And I even worked the switchboard (yes, a real old fashioned one!) when I was 14 and 15 !!!
5. My current job: Stampin' Up! demonstrator... I'm in my 13th year!
6. Favorite foods: Scones, salads (to counteract all the fat in the scones), burgers, fries and pizza.

I will tag:
and Dannie
Today is National Poinsettia Day (who knew there was such a day!?) so I thought I'd change my blog header for today. I have several other fun Christmas headers ready to put up .. so I'll be changing them frequently until Christmas. I think I'll have a "vote for your favorite" in a few days. That will be fun!
