Gosh! I have so much to say and not enough space. I returned from Leadership yesterday and was able to meet and hug some of my Pals. They truly kept my spirits up while I was deployed last year. I’ve posted some pictures below.
I also made new friends on the way home and I think a shout out is in order. My seat-mate Liz from Arizona was such a sweet and (very) beautiful lady that I had the pleasure of meeting. She had me at, “I’m not very creative.” LOL
I really do hope she puts the card I gave her together and then posts a comment about how easy it was to ‘not be creative’. =) Liz, if you’re reading this, it was my utmost pleasure chatting it up with you.
Another shout out goes to Dora, the sweetest Spanish-speaking lady from Houston. She was so happy and appreciative that I spoke to her that she gave me her address and I will be sending her our Spanish catalog. You can get yours here (available in English too).
Kim from Washington gets my 3rd shout out. She’s also a demonstrator and she is truly fired up for Stampin’ Up! She is a great example to others that networking outside of your group is a plus! Thank you kindly for subscribing! =D
You won’t believe that this ‘thank you’ card took me 15 minutes to put together! It was all put together with left over scraps. Thus, the importance that you should never throw away scrap paper after a project.

Absolutely love your card Maggie. The colors are Maggie-ni-fi-cent!!!! The new polka dot emboss folder is my FAVE. I love the Thank You on the watercolor wonder DSP.
I got my cast off my wrist today. Yippy Skippy! Very sore yet with a lot of bruising. Still have some healing to do; but, I am going to craft away now.
I wish I could afford braces. You are very fortunate. I absolutely love all the pic’s. I’m so glad you are home and got to go to Leadership! Keep having that BIG fun! Thanks for sharing!
Great card Maggie! So glad you had a GREAT time! I love Brian photobombing you and Ginger – what a hoot!
