August Events and Classes

Hello Stampers!

Well, the summer has just been flying by and I've neglected to update my blog in way too long. I'm sorry about that! Hopefully you've stuck with me and will see this update (although I'll try to get an email out this week as well).

First, I have bad news. For those of you that I haven't seen in a class lately or kept up with on facebook... My Mother passed away in her sleep on July 12th. She finished chemo for breast cancer just 9 days earlier. It looked like everything was going to be fine...I'm really struggling with losing her and also with all of the changes that are taking place with her gone. I'm one of those people that likes to be able to envision what my life will be like 6 months or a year from now and I just can't do that right now. It's been very hard. Normally I would call my mom about this type of thing and she would tell me that everything was going to be fine and that I just needed to get on with it. It just doesn't sound the same in my head or my voice as it would coming from her.

However... I DO have a vision for my classes and my Stampin' Up! and I know it's one thing I have to lean on (creativity and sharing) during rough times.

I spent 5 Days in Salt Lake City earlier this month at our Stampin' Up! Annual Convention. WOW! I got some really great ideas. I can't wait to share them with you. I even got about 100 swaps done so I have all of those new ideas to show you next time you're at a class.

Right now I'm in sunny (and very humid/hot) Englewood Beach, Florida. It's a vacation that we look forward to every year. This year things have been changed up a bit because we're not here alone. We've got 16 of my husband, Tim's, other family members here with us. It's been a lot of fun, I may need to come home to rest though :)

OK, so enough about me...

Here are my August Classes and Events!
