I am planning to finish out November with lots of posts and something special is coming the beginning of December.... So make sure and check back when you can. And comment if you have the time. I love to hear from you.

I Survived!

Denise and I survived our trip to Washington. CKC was a blast and we are now both tired and broke!! Well....I'm broke, Denise had a little more self restraint! lol

I flew home last night and was super happy to see my kids. (hubby is out of town) Their grandma was super happy to see me too...(she can now take a break!! lol)

We flew into Seattle Thursday night and rented a car and drove to Bellevue. We mostly just had dinner and organized our stuff, talked and went to bed.

Friday we had to be at the convention center early for SHOPPING! (LOL) They let us in an hour earlier than the "regular folks" (we were "special" because we pre-registered for classes). We only had two classes scheduled but finished most of our shopping early and then had time to kill so we booked another class.

By the end of the day, I was exhausted. I guess it was just more than my poor still recovering body wanted to take. When we got back to the hotel we had dinner and then went to the room to organize for the evening crop. I was grumpy because I was tired but Denise was sweet and didn't complain. I made it at the crop until about 10:30pm. We went back to the room and I CRASHED. HARD.

We had an early class on Saturday so we were up by 6:30am. (boo)(I'm soooo not a morning person) We knew we would be broke after Friday so we scheduled 4 classes on Saturday.

My favorite class we took was our first one on Saturday. It was by Tattered Angels and was Glimmer Mist Techniques. So messy and soooooo much fun!! I ended up coming home with a ton of Glimmer Mist and a ton of inspiration!! lol

After all our classes we went back to the hotel (tired again but not as tired). We had dinner and coffee (caffeine was our friend) (ha). Then we got ready for the Saturday night crop.

For some reason I got my second wind and was in a super happy upbeat mood. And we had some really fun girls at our table. The night was a blast. Denise and I both won good prizes and got goodie bags at the door. I did a layout for Scrap Our Stash and earlier that day I had won this adorable "Monkey" book so I decided to work on that.

I actually finished 99% of it there and when we got back to our room I finished it completely! Now I just need to add photos. I was so happy to finish it because I was afraid if I didn't do it there I would never do it!! ha

We slept in (sort of) on Sunday, packed up our stuff and flew home.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, such fun...thanks Denise for letting me tag along with you to my first scrapbook convention! It was awesome! I can't wait to go again!!

And don't think I have forgotten.....I will be picking my blog candy winners at Midnight tonight. So, be sure to come look here tomorrow to see if you won.... There is a ton of yummy Tim Holtz goodness being given away and it might be to you....

Thank you all so much for being so patient with me this month. Between working on my house, getting it cleaned, decluttered and ready to put on the market and my surgery and recovery...there hasn't been much of interest on here so thanks for still coming around and visiting. I plan to finish out the month on a high note and I might have something interesting coming in December...(hint hint hint...)

Wish me luck!!

Okay, today I hopefully flew successfully to Seattle with my friend, Denise and am now in Seattle at our hotel.

Everything at the convention starts tomorrow and we have scheduled 2 classes and some time for shopping. I hope I can sit long enough to enjoy the classes. But even if I don't I know I will be having fun! Just hanging with Denise will be fun. We don't live in the same city so getting to talk in person happens rarely. (even though we talk online every day)

I am posting a card that I made before my surgery. It isn't very good but at least it is something right??!! ha

I actually just recently got a Cuttlebug (yes, I am behind the times....lol) and I wanted to try it out. I have this fun Thank You embossing thing so I tried it out.

It looks a little better in person...

Do you have a Cuttlebug or some similar machine?? If so, do you use it as much as you thought you would??

Going to Seattle

My friend, Denise and I have had a trip planned to CKC in Seattle since July. I am bound and determined that I am still going to go even if I have to spend the whole trip in the hotel room reading! We leave tomorrow and get back on Sunday. Wish me luck.....

I will take pictures and let you know how it goes....

I'm stealing the picture from her blog...lol

I am also posting a crafty creation for the first time in a long time.

I made this layout for the Pagerize This challenge at Scrap Our Stash (link on sidebar). I took the picture at my ds Harvest Festival at school. He had just had his hair painted in red and blue stripes and I had just gotten this great kit in the mail in those exact colors...it was just meant to be.

I will have at least one other autopost for while we are gone. Have a great weekend!!

Yes, you read that right....a NEW TIM HOLTZ Merchandise blog candy giveaway!!!!

Blessed that I have such a loyal following and guilty because I haven't been around much lately and you are all still visiting!!

So as my gift to you I am having another giveaway. I will be keeping it open until 11:59pm PST on November 15th, 2010. And then I will draw a winner and that winner will receive -

3) link back to my blog candy giveaway from your blog.
4) post about this giveaway on your blog.

You will have until November 21st to contact me if you win...after that I will pick another winner.

Easy as pie.

If someone international wins (someone not from the U.S.A), I will NOT be sending the Ranger Enamel Accents or the Ranger Distress Crackle Paint. I will exchange them for two items of equal value.

I do not want to mail liquids internationally.

So there you go - my gift to you. I can't wait till you start commenting and I get to go look at your blogs!!

***UPDATE*** I am super excited to have reached 600 followers so I want to reward my followers with the chance at a little something extra....

DRUM ROLL PLEASE.......

I will be picking an additional 6 names on November 1st and each of these people will be getting a little candy from me!!!!! (one name picked for each 100 followers I have today)

The same rules will apply and each of these additional winners will need to contact me by November 7th and give me their mailing address or I will choose a new winner to replace their name.

The candy will be a surprise but a good surprise! I will still be picking a main winner for the big prize so that will be 7 candies given away!!!!

****Giveaway extended until November 15th****

Thank you so much!!

I'm Back......

Hi guys,

I really want to say thank you so much for all the kind words. It really warmed my heart to read all the nice things that were written while I was out recovering from my unexpected surgery.

I am so sorry to have been out of the loop for so long but it was totally not expected. I am doing much better and will be fully back to normal by next week.

I want to thank my friend, Denise, for letting you know that I was down and out and for extending the deadline for my blog candy.

I will be picking all my winners on Monday, November 15th. So all you stragglers better get yourself signed up!! lol I have a lot of great stuff all ready and waiting to be mailed to my lucky winners. Isn't the suspense killing you??!!

I, unfortunately, haven't been able to scrap at all. So you will have to bear with me as I get caught up on things.

I do have a layout I made before my surgery for Scrap Our Stash's Pagerize This challenge. They posted it so I will be able to post it here tomorrow for you to enjoy! lol

I will leave you tonight with a picture, for your viewing pleasure, of a few of my hoodlum children who all must be in the "Peace Sign Gang". LOL (jk)

Much love to all. Stacy

Stacy's Tim Holtz Giveaway (a hijacked blog post)

Hey everyone,

This is Denise, a friend of Stacy's. Stacy has been in the hospital and has been unable to use the computer. She is home now, but is still recovering. She has asked that I extend the giveaway until she can get back to normal. The new date will be November 15th. I don't want her to worry about it and try to move around too much. Thank you so much for your understanding. I'm sure she would love to hear from people, if you'd like to post an encouraging comment for her to read when she gets back to blogging.

Denise
