I've been making pages like crazy! I had a lot of fun with these pages and used not just Glitz but a smattering of products. Hope you love them. Glitz has been ultra busy getting all the NEW upcoming products ready in time for our big show in January. The new products are AMAZING. I can't wait to get my hands on some samples. Which may very well be next week. So keep your eyes peeled for upcoming pages made with the NEW glitz stuff! Exciting times!! :)

Check out our CURRENT Glitz Classes we teach below.... what do you think?! Do you love them as much as I do.....?

I'm not going to lie to you...I'm a little embarrassed that SOOOO much time has lapsed since my last post. *Sigh* oh well. What can I do but try to start fresh or maybe delete my blog. I thought about it and decided to give it another go. I'm pretty good at facebooking.... not so good at blogging. So here I am again. I'm giving it another GO. Just got home from teaching in Roswell New Mexico for the weekend. It was a blast... here's some quick highlights...

-short flight

-roadtrip

-watched a FAB late night movie with Erin

-went for a walk and took some pics in downtown Alb

-met a really cool store owner in Alb. Scraps Galore....want to teach there SOON.

-ohhhh so good homemade FUDGE at Cline's Corner

-lots of girl chat on our super long roadtrip

-awesome GLITZ classes

-scrapbooking and girl time at Imagine That Scrapbooks and More in Roswell

-Slept in until 8AM every day mmmm that's nice

-absolutely amazing italian dinner...I'm still working off those calories 3 days later, but man it was worth it.

I'm sure I've missed stuff but that's what comes to mind. Such a cool job I have to go teach women fun new ways to Scrapbook! I'm one lucky girl that's for sure.

Well I'm going to try to do better on my posting. Put up projects pics....info on Glitz, yada, yada. You get the point. Have a great day!

Teaching, Teaching, teaching! Gotta love it!

Isnt this a cool statue?? I thought so ;)

Ginger and Erin...taking some photo ops Downtown Albuquerque.

The past few weeks in a nutshell...

Well let's see. I traveled to Pennsylvania for the first time. It's absolutely gorgeous there. We flew into Pittsburgh and then drove to Clarion so we could teach at the utterly fabulous store SCRAP HAPPY. The owner Jen is a pretty cool girl. She was so sweet and so fun and I can honestly say I can't wait to go back and teach there again. *hint*hint* We did 6 different classes and when I say we Sarah my sister and fellow glitz girl came with me (since Erin and Laura were in Florida living it up at HSN) The ladies that took all the classes we seriously so entertaining. My cheeks got to that point where they started to hurt becuase I was smiling and laughing so much. We had a crop night the last night we were there. Me and Sarah were the early party poopers we headed back to the hotel around 11pm. I have to say those Penn ladies sure know how to throw a party ;) We had an uneventful flight home. I read several books in between talking to the chatty guy next to me.

I will say it's great to be home. We've had a few weeks on staying in AZ. I love all the traveling around to the stores but it's definitely been awesome to have a bit of a break and just take some time to you know...be a mom, be lazy, clean my house, yada yada. You get the point.

We are gearing up getting ready for the next BIG CHA Show in July. I know I'm a little biased but our next products we are releasing seriously kick butt. I'm so ITCHING to get my hands on some.

Alright well I'm heading to take my kiddos to lunch and to go to the park to feed the ducks. All is well in my life and I look around and love that I don't see perfection but I see LOVE and life! If you don't know this about me I am kind of a perfectionist so this is a step up for me. Not everything has to be and look perfect 100% of the time. So thus saying this I'm going to leave my several loads of laundry for another day and go play with my kiddos!

P.S. Here are some FUN 12x12 pages I've worked on in the past few weeks. Enjoy!

Just a quick note to let you know we'll be teaching in the gorgeous FLAGSTAFF Arizona this weekend at About Memories and More! Hope you can join us!!! Call the store now to reserve your spot.

Also I did make it home from Scrap Happy teaching in Pennsylvania it was AMAZING. I LOVE and adore the Penn ladies every single one of them! More info to come on that trip next along with the fun layouts I made at the crop night at the store the last day we taught. Good times!!!

Well it took me a few days to actually take pics of these new pages I made but I finally did it! I made these fun pages on Monday and I'm itching to make some more... I guess you could say I am in the MOOD for some scrappin'. I've been keeping busy these days. It's funny how easy it is to forget the things that are the most important. I'm determined to focus on the things and the people that are the most important and everything else can fall into line behind... that's my current goal at least. My family, My home, My friends...in that order. I strive to be a good mommy, a good wife, a good sister, a good friend. And now with that in mind I am going to go hug and cuddle my sick baby :) I hope you all have a great night.

This is fun....I kind of like the idea of it being on the blog versus the regular email as well.

Packing up...heading out...California here comes GLITZ! Thought I would share some fun pages I made last weekend at INSPIRED in my free time....I only got done 2. But hey better than NONE, right?

I used mostly GLITZ products with a little bit of 7Gypsies as well! And the background is the Bazzill scalloped cardstock. Love that stuff.

for this one I used the majority of GLITZ and then a bit of 7gypsies as well..

When we were at Inspired, Jenni Bowlin had a whole little store full of her products and actual vintage goodies. I can't WAIT to use some of the fun stuff I got. Jenni and her husband were so SWEET. It was really nice to meet them. I also picked up something cool for my mom for mother's day. I have yet to give it to her. I may hold it hostage for the next time she comes to visit me.

Alright now I think I might go pack! Hope you have a great weekend.

I'M HOME for now...

I did indeed make it back home from the INSPIRED event in North Carolina. Which was a complete HIT. So much fun. We met and made so many NEW friends. I also got to have a completely fabulous "girl's night out" the first night we arrived. Dinner, Hot Tub, then a movie in the hotel room. My kind of night! Erin and Laura were also very sweet in going along with my NEED to see a plantation so we found one!!! Such good friends they are :) And the best of all...

....getting to return home to my adorable hubby and kids. I was ambushed in the baggage claim by 3 running children toting oreos, candy and a Happy Mother's Day Balloon along with a Dr. Pepper which I respectfully declined seeing as how I quit drinking caffiene roughly a week ago. **GO ME**. So I returned home to a sparkly clean home (mostly) hardly any laundry to catch up on and I was then treated to a relaxing afternoon in bed reading a book, followed by a luxurious bath and then dinner that someone else made. Seriously can you get a better mother's day that that? It made me feel so blessed to know that I am loved and appreciated becuase MAN is it HARD WORK.

Now I'm gearing up and getting ready to head out again on Thursday night to visit the lovely scrapbooking ladies in the Los Angeles and San Deigo area! We will be teaching at several stores this weekend so if you happen to be in the neighborhood...look us up.

For now...I'm off to bed!

Getting ready to head to North Carolina for the week. I'm really excited. It's going to be some seriously hard work but there should be plenty of fun involved as well. We are heading to the Donna Downey INSPIRED event this weekend. Good times! I am totally going to be bringing my scrapbooking FAV's so I can crop and another thing I keep reminding myself to bring is my swimsuit so I can hit up the jacuzzi. We will be flying home just in time for our fabulous children and hubby's to give us a wonderful Mother's Day "evening". Perfect! I imagine coming home to perfectly groomed and bathed children and a immaculate house....good luck with that right? :)

Well I've got to go get packing. I went and got some Books so I can read the whole plane ride there. Gotta love that.

If I could choose to see anywhere in North Carolina....I would love to go see an old plantation house....it's kind of a strange obsession I have...wonder if I can get Erin and Laura to go along with it. Guess we will see huh? I mean in btw the teaching classes, teaching more classes and teaching a few more classes....

We don't have "THESE" in Arizona. But we do have cactus galore. And some pretty majestic pine trees... ohhh and check this out....
