blog update

Sorry everyone I have been so under the weather lately. I wanted to thank everyone for the wonderful emails and kind words I really appreciate it. I had 4 different heart tests done Friday so hopefully they will find something out and be able to fix me up. I am supposed to get the results by tues so please keep me in your prayers.

Now on to better things, we did a 3 day crop this weekend and had a great time visiting with everyone. I only made a 2 page layout and a small album as I was not in the best of health but I enjoyed being with everyone I will try to post some pictures later this week of what I created.

Don't forget if you are taking shane's class it is coming up this thursday night and also just to give you a heads up his January class will be using metal and memory glass to make jewelry memory charms so if you missed the last one here is your chance to sign up.

Quick Quotes fun this weekend

Well Ashley won so she was able to be at the convention selling items and Shane and I got to help out with make and takes and using QQ products and I have to say it was so much fun and we loved it...

If you get a chance to attend one of their convention crops it is well worth the money. I got to see and help hand out so many great products that the people received it was wonderful and I know I just kept saying WOW is this part of their package. I used their ink and it is great on canvas and paper.

I had to sign up for the option D package just to get my hands on some of this great stuff. Patricia of Quick Quotes was so nice to us and helped us with the setup of the make and takes. Shane learned some new techniques so I know he already has a list of people wanting to see him do some of the things again.

Here are some of the things I got in the kit for Option D each month there are new items sent to your home and I cant wait to get started on them and I will post them here for you to view. Ashley won a big store credit so be letting her know what you like from Quick Quotes so she can get it in the store for you.

I went to the Quick Quotes convention and helped with make and takes and I got to go to a car show where my friend was at and I have known him 25 years and I really miss seeing him...Most of you don't know that I grew up as a tomboy racing and building cars and running the racing scene back in the day. Love you Jon Hollis you are my BFF!!!!!
