Rambling....

I’m so thankful for the beautiful weather where I live. It’s sunny and warm. We have a baseball game tonight (perfect baseball weather) and then I will RUSH home to watch David Archuleta perform. McKay downloaded some of this songs on ITUNES. It’s kind of weird knowing David- before AMERICAN IDOL. Fame is so funny. I can’t imagine going from NO

ONE

knows you- to MILLIONS of people who do. They are getting pretty nasty on TV, online,etc. about “the real David” and his father. To set the records straight- the rumors are so untrue- his dad IS NOT the evil SHOW dad that they are portraying. He is not mean and demanding of his son. I know that David will remain the great young man that he has always been. When it comes down to it- I feel that David Cook will win because of this age, genre and such. Oh, and he is greatly talented too!

Both David’s are amazing!!!!

I am so impressed and wanted to HIGHLIGHT an amazing album contest winner on my blog.

This is the winner's entry SIMON KAMPS. She entered her book at www.coordinatescollections.com and I LOVE it!!!!

Simon used the stitched file folder that I designed when I was with Junkitz.  I LOVE this project!!!! It is clever, creative and I think INSPIRING!!! Congrats Simon-

I want to share a project that I will be teaching this summer. It's a small travelogue book-

 

I used my new stamps on the cover- I am loving playing with the stamps!!!! I used the BIA covers too. Since it is a class, I with show just a few images. I am so excited to teach more- I know I have several stores on a waitlist. I am wanting to make it to more stores this year. Contact me if you are on the waitlist and want to confirm anything, or to inquire about my schedule. I have been having issues of emails bouncing- not getting to me- for the past few months.

So I have to share a photo that I came across from NSD. I was blown away-

Now I LOVE all of the different examples of my CLEAR dome rings decorated.

WOW- K2 Scrapbooking in Sarasota FL did my rings for NSD. I get asked all the time, about visuals of clear dome rings decorated. So I thought- let's do a contest- my official FIRST ever contest!!!! Decorate one of my clear rings (TC-2304 Clear Rings) in ANY manner and send me your image. I will PICK 5 WINNERS who will be featured on my website & blog. Each winner will get a prize package from me!!!!! Sound fun????

Requirement: HAVE FUN!!!! and send a brief description of how/what you did to your ring. I can't wait to see what you can come up with! Deadline: May 25th. I want to announce the winners and send the prizes before I go teach at Scrap a Ganza.  I hope you'll join in on the fun!!!!

I think both David's are GREAT too! But, sorry I am really pulling for David Cook. I guess I got a thing for the rocker guys. I Love the contest winners book. Great job! I am working on a mini book myself with the journal It line that I hope to share real soon. I really wish you were teaching classes here on the east coast (MA to be specific). I did put a bug in the ear of the owner of my LSS to have you come teach there. I hope we are one of the ones on your list... :-)

Totally entry today! The album is amazing! Sanjaya is doing fine and still singing away after last year's AI happening. He is still very sweet and down to earth from what I can tell. I'm sure that you're right and DA will be fine!

Wow, those rings look great!

Hi T! I just wanted to say hi--and I LOVE your new picture in the upper left corner of the blog page! Remember I told you that after the class at Melrose Vintage I dropped my camera? Well the photo I had of the two of us was ruined, but only the bottom half of the one of you teaching....I will try to send it t you, but I am pretty computer illiterate, and it is film not digital, so that makes it even harder--I will try to get one of my computer savvy kids to do it for me!
Love the travel book! Fun! Can't wait to get ahold of all the travel papers and STAMPS! WaHoo!
You ROCK Miss Teresa!
Love Ya Girlfriend!
