Hand Stamped Cards with Josee Smuck-Stampin' Up! Canada Demonstrator

Hello!

I had a great time this weekend with all the ladies who joined me for my Fall 2014 Retreat!…despite getting sick….boooo!!!  I have to apologize to all my guests as I was not able to talk very much as I began to lose my voice!  I hope everyone had a great time too and enjoyed the projects and classes and hopefully got their own projects done in their spare time.

I've got my Classes all ready, my Make & Take samples done, Goody Bags ready to go, Gifts & Prizes all ready for gifting, and of course I had to pack up my stamp studio to bring with me…and can't forget that I had to pack my clothes and other necessities too 🙂 Phew! All done and on the road! I am so excited to have a weekend of fun with all my Crafty Girls guests! Hawaiian style! 😉
