Hi Stampers
Happy Easter…. Are you wondering where have I been?
The past few weeks I spent a lot of my spare time preparing for the Spring Craft Show at the Brampton Fair Ground. Getting ready for these events are a lot of work and take a lot of time, but in the long run, they are worth it. While my main goal is not to “sell”, I usually have small items available to bring people to my table. My main goal is always get out into the community, meeting potential new stampers and ultimately new customers. Sometimes, I usually don’t realize the benefit for 6-8 months later when someone will call me and say “I saw you at the Brampton Fair”. This year though I learned something new…. I can rent space at the Fair Ground for events and it is a lot more economical than renting from the city. Bonus. So much so that I have already rented space for a New Catalogue Kick Off. Now that I have seen the catalogue I have to work on the details. That is one of the many things on my To Do List.
What else has been happening? I finally went in to have the scope done on my knee. I had torn the meniscus a year ago and spent the last 8 months doing physio to no avail. I finally was able to go in and have the tear cleaned up and a cyst removed. Boy…. I didn’t realize how immobilized you get after something like that. I had this done 35 years ago (same knee) but didn’t remember what it was like after… and I was younger. But once I was able to take the big bandage and wrap off my knee things started to improve immensely. I am happy to have this done before heading to Greece in the Summer and Sicily in the Fall. But I have to say that I am not one to sit on the couch, watch TV and play on the computer for 5 days. I am getting antsy.
The Best Paper Pumpkin Kit Ever!
So what do you do when you are antsy….. you break open the latest Paper Pumpkin Kit and play. And this has to be my most favourite Paper Pumpkin Kit EVER.! (yes that is in caps). It is gorgeous. I think these will be relatively easy cards to duplicate for future use.
Check out the acetate box that came with the kit. Perfectly wrapped with some corrugated cardboard, baker’s twine and floral accent.
Aren’t these cards gorgeous. Love the sentiments, the design, the detail, everything about these cards. And they will come in handy as I have a lot of Thank You cards to send out to some special people who helped me this past week. Feeling Blessed.
