packing

Here's a little preview of my trunk sale while in Michigan next week.  I plan to have most of my class samples on sale, too.

journals, books, card kits, and a few mixed media pieces

necklaces and charms

and some little lover-lees........

she is still getting ready......

I have to stop and pack everything up to ship tomorrow.  Why is it that when the deadline looms, big bursts of creativity enter into the picture?  

There may be a few more things added -  as much as I can squeeze into my luggage next week......hmmmmm....... 

 clothes/projects.........which one to pack......

OMG!!

look what decided to spend the night in our garage!  We know because he made it loud and clear he was there before we opened the garage door.

I made it to the car but Jeff was still in the house when I said "what is that noise?"

Jeff said "get the the car and stay there.  It's a rattler!"

We opened the garage door and he slithered out, posed for pictures (after I backed the car out of the garage) and then continued on to someplace else (great........now I will be wondering and looking forever!).

Yuck!!!!

make a-longs!

Here are some of the Make A-long samples for Scrappy Chic.  Make one, two or as many as time allows

You bring the supplies.  I will have instructions. 

Some are finished so you can take pictures to refer back to when completing your proto-types.

Oh, I am still finding more, too, so bring some extra paper!

See you there, I hope.
