Hello Everyone,
Well we had another great week, with another group of wonderfully funny, talented and simply kind ladies! This was my first time in Gaylord and I have to saw other than the weather which happened to be cold, windy and rainy it was a very nice community. My friend Donyale and I went to Gaylord for a Great Scrapbook Event. We were warmly welcomed and are looking forward to attending another event! There were great raffle prizes and one lucky winner even won a cricut. She was very happy as was her grand-daughter who she brought back with her to pick up her wonderful prize! Check out the photos below for this event!
I also had some time to learn how to use my own cricut a little better. I can only say that I really need to have more time to get to know this product and how to use it more effectively. I was able to make the tinker bell name, a tinker bell, and Fawn her friend. They did turn out very cool, but it sure took me forever.
I also learned how to make Hello Kitty with a gift box and a strawberry for Donyale's niece. We did the projects together and laughed so much and had to keep trying but we persevered.
Here are a few of my next upcoming events below and I look forward to sharing with everyone what we do at the events.

Weekend Event in Fenton!
Well the weekend is over!
Time always flies when your having fun! I surely know that for a fact. I have met some wonderfully nice people, so warm, friendly and helpful. It was amazing that I went into this crop as a vendor, very last minute decision, knowing not one person and upon leaving I flet I had know these woman for longer than just a few days.
I have made an observation with all the events that I have attended in the past five years.
That most woman are eager to help each other out, learn form each other and to just give that little nudge of support when needed.
This observation makes me think that is must have been like this in the quilting bee days, when woman would also sit around and teach younger woman the art of quilting. The woman share stories about families, troubles that have been weighting them down, advice on what works best for color co-ordination, and so on.
We woman are a great communicators and these scrapbook events feed our habits and the need that we all have to share. I can honestly say that I am tired, and yet refreshed getting back home and seeing the family. I can look at the issues at home with a new fresh outlook, and ready to tackle the tasks at hand.
This could not be possible with the love and support of my wonderful husband! He is so supportive and encouraging in all my endeavors. I am so truly blessed!
I hope that all who read this and love to scrap as much as I do also have that love and support of their significant other in order to refresh yourselves!
Have a great day and like always I can't wait for the next weekend, my next getaway in Gaylord, Michigan. There is room for scrappers to join in on the fun! so if any one is interested you can just contact me and I will gladly give you the information, directions and costs.
Have a great day everyone!

New Great Web Site!
Hello All,
Just wanted to let you know that I have found this great new scrap sharing web site with over 15,000 people who are sharing. Here is the link: www.scrapshare.com
It is free to join and the woman are really great! They have a wonderful gallery with layouts, there are also different types of topics of discussion. They also have non related subjects like, recipes, entertainment, schooling, special needs families, digital scrapbooking and one thing that I found interesting is swaps. What this means is that we can share our ideas and send them into the host, (the person running the swap), for other swaps. I have joined my first swap and what I have to do is to create five, two page layouts with all the embellishments, titles and paper and then send them off before June 19th, I believe that is what the date is and then I will recieve five sets of new ideas from new themes. It sounds really interesting. I am also trying to learn how to some new techniques that seem to make animals look really fuzzy, as well as paper piercing. Wow so much to learn and I relaly don't have that much time to get it all done. But like all things we just keep on trying new things to create keepsakes for our families to enjoy. Lastly, the group also has discussions about altered books, card making, upcoming retreats. Like I said the group is very interesting and I am loving it so far!
