Whoo Hoo! Less than 48 hours and I will be in a room full of other crazy stampers from all over! I know people who are traveling from Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, West Virginia---it's a small taste of what Convention is like.
I chatted a bit last night with a Convention buddy and her group from Michigan who I'll be reuniting with Saturday morning. Can't wait!
Beth will be traveling down with me, my sister, and the kids and staying at my parent's house. The kids will then spend the day with the gparents while we head downtown.
I wasn't going to make any swaps this time. I've participated in several swaps last month and have a good selection. But I started getting the swap fever. So this morning after I put the kids on the bus, I headed upstairs.
I used a card I designed for this month's stamping playdate, but I cut the main panel too short and had to rework it a bit. I'll take a picture and show you tomorrow how I managed to make 25 swaps in less than 3 hours---including reinking my So Saffron pad and a 1/2 hour phone call with Beth!

Update on $75.00 GC give-away
This gift certificate give-away didn't happen this weekend as I had hoped. Bad timing---close to the school year beginning and all that goes with that, the holiday and no one getting the new holiday mini yet.
But never fear! My 15th wedding anniversary is later this month and I'm having a holiday kick-off party on the 29th, so there will be plenty of chances to win!
Stacey M will recieve a sampling of Big Shot die cuts, including the new Build-a-Bear, for being the first to let me know she received her holiday mini in the mail.

August's Customer Appreciation Winner
Congratulations Carrie B! You are now the proud owner of the "Darling Dots" stamp set.
Fortune is also on my side as Carrie is coming over in the morning for the Ribbon of Hope class.
Since my kids should be sleeping; I had Mitch pick the winner.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow's classes.
I'll have September's color combinations and the customer appreciation prize up later this week. Reagan was helping me choose the colors----she likes lots of contrast!
