have you ever had one of those weekends were everything is so perfect that you are just waiting for something to go wrong...that was how wonderful our weekend was...and nothing went wrong!
paula and i left for the bay on sunday, we attended joan mills rep-co party (it is the most amazing event put on by one of GT's greatest vendor reps.) and she has all of the companies that she represents come out and teach classes, and learn about new product!
sunday when we got there it was so warm and sunny. we checked in to our room walked outside around the bay waiting for our first class to start...paula took a hambly class and i took one with tim holtz
monday we got up ate breakfast attended our class for the day, again mine was with tim holtz and paula went to the paper company class.
i got to play with every single tim holtz product!!!!
then we had the best mexican food for lunch and went for a jog around the bay {well not all the way around it :)} sat down on a grassy hill and hammered out all the rest of the details for NSD weekend...and this was our view the whole time...
that is SF past the pier {i think i need a bigger lens} but you can see how clear and sunny it was.
then we attended the make n take frenzy and made so many great samples for the store...
tuesday we both woke up early so paula and i went jogging yet again {this time with lunges and other running exercises...the main reason i am sore}
and i then took my first class of the day with the lovely teresa collins.
be watching for fun news about mrs teresa collins :)
between classes paula and i jammed into the city to find this neat store called scrap, we only had a short period of time to shop but, we had a blast rummaging through all the random scraps and junk...i even found the chains i was searching for to finish a few projects i am working on {will be posted soon}
my last class of the day was a copic class. i learned so much about these pens i can't wait to pick up a few when i get back to the store.
on our way home we made one pit stop into the city to the o so fabulous paper source and did not hit any traffic on the way home that evening...see what i mean by the perfect weekend.
thanks so much paula, you were a great roomy!
and thanks to joan for putting on such a great event
love your earth
paula and i are off to my favorite city...san francisco...it was the first city i moved to when i graduated high school...i love going back even just for a day, but this time i will be there for a few...HOORAY!!!
we will be schmoozing it up with tim holtz, teresa collins, jenni bowlin, the luxe girls, lindsey from cosmo cricket and so many other talented scrap bookers...i love my job...thanks GT
stay tuned!!
i am not really sure how you wish a girl like kelly happy b-day...
she is so creative, it needs to be out of the box
she is so innovative, it should not have been done yet
she is super funny, so it should make us all laugh
she is incredibly smart, it would have to be one step ahead of her
she is so sweet and kind, it needs to make us all feel warm and fuzzy inside
she is totally fun to be around, so we will want to do it over and over again
she is a hard worker, we should have spent months on it
she is a great friend, you will want to be there for her all day
she is one of the greatest business women i have met, itneeds to be executed just right
but the best thing about kelly is that she would be ok with just a simple happy birthday and a hug...
this is why we love her so much!
i really do hope you have a happy b-day kell...you have been a great boss, teacher and friend these last 2 years...thank you!
my goal for this spring semester {since i am taking it off} was to get caught up on all of my scrap booking...so far so good...one way i am catching up is re-using a LO design with diff. paper and pics
{i am sure this is not new to you, but it is a great way to catch up}
i also make sure that the LO are not in the same book:
here is the Gwen Stephani concert i took my mom to for mothers day in 2007
{using the new pebbles inc. paper from Green Tangerines}
and here is when zack and i went to Tahoe for our b-days in 2008
i hope you and your loved ones have a bright sunny, colorful egg hunting day!!
PS HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREEN TANGERINES!!!
this is by far the best fortune i have ever got...
looks like i will be stopping by TJ's before work!!!
