More pictures
We had an underswap Saturday night. What is that you ask? Basically, to participate you have to bring something you made that is under $10 and under 2 hours to make. Wrap the gift up. Then you get a number and when it is your turn, you either take another person's gift or open one of the wrapped gifts. I had the last number which was good. The above gift I took from someone else. It will either be a journal/scrapbook of family or one about me or I could even use it to keep track of stamping things.
WOW!
Another entry today......what a surprise for me! Not much new here. Went to work today after having a fantastic 4 day weekend, only to be sent home at 9am!! 2 hours of work!!! What is that!!! I had no kids and the baby side had one so they didn't need 3 teachers....and they said it was my turn to go home. Oh well!
I hope to have pictures soon of some things from stamp camp...haven't loaded them to my computer yet.
Think I will go work on organizing craft shelves today.
As for the reading thing, I have been reading but have not updated my list on here. I am going to do this again but a different way. Instead of pre-choosing my 52 books, I will leave the page blank and write them down as I go along. Only stipulation is I cannot buy any books....I have to read what I have ehre and what I get from the library. I want to broaden my horizons. I do plan to read more Jodi Picoult and try Francine Rivers. I did read 1 or 2 books not on my list this time around, too.
Well, toodaloo people. See you next time I get on here.

Stamping Retreat
Hello everyone! I got the question "When are you going to update your blog? So, here goes....thanks,N, for asking me.
This weekend I headed to Lincolnton, GA to the The Stamping Studio(www.thestampingstudio.com) for a wonderful retreat. I met some new stamping friends, learned alot and just had a nice, relaxing time. There were about 6 round robin projects that we did plus I took the 5 classes. I made alot of cool things...unfortunately, I have no pictures to share. I had my camera but forgot to take pictures. I learned to make an easy slider card which I will use more often. One class was on card skethches. She gave us about 3 pages of all these different sketches and then we made 4 cards using some of the sketches. That class was one of my favorites. I also enjoyed the calendar class....we made 2 different ones then took the stuff home to make a 3rd one. I see Christmas presents!
Also, because her studio is also her store, we could shop, shop, shop! LOL. I didn't do too bad but I got some neat stamps and embellishment. Want to get more done on the room today so I can start stamping to my heart's content and play with my new stuff!
The food was great. Melissa's husband cooked for us and everything was soooo good. We had fajitas on Saturday night that were so good. I hope we have them again next year.
I met some wonderful new friends and many are on facebook so hopefully we can all keep in touch. It is so nice to go somewhere and have fun, learn alot and make some new friends.
Maybe once Melissa posts pictures, I can put some here.
On another note, Friday I am having surgery on my left hand. I will be out 4 weeks and maybe can blog more often.
