Remember me? I was on the go all last week and just was too tired at the end of the week to take pictures and post them!! I worked at my friend's stamp store last Thursday and didn't think I'd be very busy. So, I took a bunch of stuff to do - my book, my computer, stuff to make a few cards, etc. Well, I ended up bringing it all back home with me!! I didn't sit down all day except to have a sandwich (which my dear hubby brought to me!) Friday I played Hand & Foot. and when I got home, I got busy working on making a few swaps to take to Regionals in Charlotte in a couple of weeks. Marianne came over Saturday afternoon and ended up spending the night. She is going to Regionals with me and wanted me to help her come up with some swap ideas. She is using the Snow Much Fun set and made 10-20 cards with it. I meant to take a picture of them before she left. Well, I really couldn't take a picture anyway. You know, I ran out a couple of weeks ago and bought a new camera to take to NC Quarterly with me. I did a little research and bought a Cannon digital camera. I really decided I paid too much for a camera (Sonny and Ashley helped me make that decision!!) I also didn't like the way I had to hook it up to the computer to download the pictures (too flimsy) and the battery died on me after only 1 week. So, I returned the camera this weekend and have ordered another one from Amazon - a Kodak Easy Share. I have had 2 Kodaks and they are good cameras for the money. I was just trying to go with a different camera this time. But, I already have the program downloaded on my computer for Kodak and it is one of the newest models so we'll see.
We got the final word last week as to Ashley's return home!! I am so excited!! Due to security reasons, I can not divulge the exact date. But I will be seeing her in a little less than a month! Sonny and I have decided to drive to Texas at the end of the month although we did get a credit from Delta for our plane tickets (that we were supposed to use last week!) Ashley's air conditioner went out at her home last week and we had the renters put some freon in it. We are hoping that will remedy the situation until Sonny can get there and replace the unit. So by driving, he can carry all his tools with him. That was his business before he retired, so he can do a lot of the work himself and save her some money that way.
I am working on a Ribbon Share. If you are interested, please let me know. I will be putting the first order for ribbon in this week. As soon as another one fills, I will order it. Here are the details:

I think this is going to be my next big project:

| Village of Cuteness |
Aren't they so cute? This was a class that was offered at convention. It didn't sound that great to me so I didn't sign up but now, I sure wish I had. These cute houses were made by Karen Culler at convention and she shared them with us at the NC Quarterly. I showed them to Sonny and told him I'd like to make some so Friday when I came home from cards, he had cut 6 houses out for me from some scraps he had in the garage! Now I have to decide how to decorate them. I think they would also be cute decorated as Christmas gingerbread houses! Any other ideas???
