Winter Bliss SSC is over, Easter Extravaganza coming up fast!
The Winter Bliss Shop, Swap & Crop is now over. It went well, even though there was less space than the Moose. It was very nice to drive up to the door to unload/reload and not have to worry about the stairs.
Here is our group picture:
Although there were other make-and-takes, the make-and-take I had was a layout using the new Prima Paintables paper. I took a picture of Luanne and Helen working on my make-and-take:
I am now working on the Easter Extravaganza SSC and also some weekend classes at Bambinos. Classes will be listed on my website soon! Come and shop on the weekends. Times will be listed soon along with the classes! I have been working really hard to prepare for all that I will have going on in the next couple weeks!
I am VERY tired now!...I am heading to bed..... Goodnight!

Winter Bliss Shop, Swap & Crop is almost here!
Well, the new year is going by fast...so much to do...so little time.... It is already going into the middle of February! I have been working hard on the new changes to my
business. We moved my website and storefront recently to my husband's web-hosting site. I have a lot of work to do yet on my shopping cart. There are lots of missing product
pictures. I have to get working on it. Then we are trying to get my Quickbooks set up more effeciently to process orders through it....so no more handwritten receipts!
Woohoo! My handwriting isn't the best, ...<< MORE >>
New Year, New Changes
Well, a new year is here and I am in the process of some new changes to my business.
My husband and I are working on changing my website and hopefully it will go smoothly for us. When it is done, I would love to hear what anyone thinks about the new site. I have some new brands on order. I already got in some Scribble Scrabble paper to see what everyone thinks about it. Prima is here as well. (I absolutely LOVE Prima!) My store is now updated with some new products and I am working on the pics today!
As for my next crop, it is February 16th at Bambino's Restaurant in Kersey, next to Fairview Fuel, on Route 948. Registration can be purchased through my storefront online now. It took me a while to get it all figured out. I have some really neat make and takes to do! Although, I like to make it more of a surprise what the make and takes are, I will share that the one will made using the new Prima Paintables Paper!!! You will get to try out this fabulous new product that everyone is raving about in the industry!
..........AND.....I will have some exciting news to share at the crop as well!!!
Already the end of the year...
I seems like just yesterday was Thanksgiving, and now Christmas has come and gone. It is already the end of the year. This year has gone by so fast. I have been so
busy with work and family that I feel like I never have any personal time lately. I have been wanting to update my business site since the end of November and I am only getting around to it
now.

November is going by fast!
It amazes me how fast the months go by. I remember being told as a child that as you get older time passes by fast. I also remember not believing it and thinking they were either
just kidding or crazy. Time went by oh so slowly as a child and I felt like it would take forever to even get to the next day. Well, as I am getting older I am
realizing that it does go by faster and faster every year. Those older people were not kidding and were not crazy either! So here it is already nearing the end of November.

Fall Harvest Crop is over, Merry Christmas Crop is posted!
The Fall Harvest Shop, Swap & Crop is over. We had a lot of fun! I really enjoyed seeing everyone. I felt like I had a little more time to socialize because of my time consuming make and take (the bandaid tin project). It was really nice to spend some time with everyone! Here is the group photo:
My husband cooked supper for us again! It was really good! Most people who attended did not know, but it was our Anniversary. He brought me in a bouquet from both him and the kids. I was really surprised! These crops are so much work and he never complains about helping :>
The Merry Christmas Shop, Swap & Crop is now posted on my website. There should be brochures at Slip On Appeal, Salon Beyond Basics and Armstrong Accounting and Notary (in Brockway) if anyone is looking for them. I already have some people signed up for the Christmas crop. I am keeping max attendence at 20 due to the time involved in completing the make and takes. I have three I am doing myself this time! Of course, the other vendors will have make and takes as well. Supper at this crop wont be as involved for my husband as it is usually is, as we are going to make it an easier supper this time due to the time of the year and other obligations. I am going to make up for the meal with more make and takes. I have so many things I want to show everyone how to do anyways :>
I am always interested in hearing what everyone would like to see in my store. I have many new things on order, and I am willing to order in those items that you may want that I don't have.
Now, I have to get back to work...

Back from our trip...
Well, we are back from our trip to the Outer Banks. Here are some pics of our trip:
Here is the whole crew w/o me of course. We stayed with two of my nephews, Jay and Greg, and my sister, Carol, and her husband, Tom. We also took Kearsten's best friend, Rodeisha with this year. She is a long time friend that might as well be family!

Back from Washington D.C.
Well, it has been a while since I had the time and energy to
update my blog. It has been a very busy summer this year, and
along with my busy schedule there was an unexpected change at my
job. I recently went to Washington D.C. with my son, Nick,
with his Cub Scout Pack. We took a Fullington bus and stayed
overnight for one night. It was a wonderful trip, although it
was VERY hot with temperatures in the mid 90's. It
gave me an appreciation for our military unlike any I had before,
and I did have a lot before ...

Tropical Shop, Swap & Crop was a Success!
The Tropical Shop, Swap & Crop was a success! The day went well, and according to the questionaires, everyone had a good time. My husband cooked a wonderful tropical-style supper for all of us. There were six make and takes, and Ruthie did a demonstration on heat embossing as well. We took a group picture. Here is the one from my camera (I am not in the picture because I took the pictures):

June was a very busy month here for our family!
Well, June was a very busy month for me here at home. I had CKC in Buffalo, then end of school year activities with the kids, then it was my oldest daughter's dance recital, and it ended with my son's (Cub Scout) Webelos Camp.
My daughter's dance recital went extremely well. It was her 8th recital this year. She has been attending dance school since she was 4 years old. Here are some pics of her that I took at her recital:
