This is the plan.... 2012

I was up very early this morning. I took taking Zach to the DMV to get his learners permit. We were the first ones in line. It was still dark outside.

He PASSED!!!! Since he is 15 years old he can drive with Ty and I. I'm a little nervous about this. We just got home from a full hour of letting him drive with me. I am not a good coach. I was so nervous to let him drive. I let him drive me to his "sleeping friends" house and then to the convience store. He got to buy chocolate milk and donuts for him and his brother to celebrate. Oh, and it is UEA weekend. They don't have school for the next four days.

I have been traveling quite a bit and I think I have confused myself at times as to exactly when and where I am going. I wanted to do a post today for the remainder of my year and where you can find me teaching.

I am headed out in the next couple of hours for Idaho Falls, Idaho. I have my car completely packed and I'm ready to go. I am doing free make n takes tonight in Rexburg Idaho- Porters from 6:00- 8:00 pm and tomorrow night in Idaho Falls- Porters at 7:00 pm. 

I have been so busy and the three hour car ride will be a welcome "break" for my mind and pressing deadlines. I love road trips!!!! Ty and the boys decided to stay home and do "boy stuff." I'm excited to meet my girlfriend Candice in Idaho. 

I will be here on Friday and Saturday-

So excited to be speaking and teaching a large Tell Your Story Memory Keeper workshop. We will have a large booth with lots of TCD products and kits. Nick Nash my sales director and his beautiful wife will be there. Tickets are on sale now. www.whattodayswomenwant.com. I felt strongly that I needed to do this event.

Then next week- I am flying to Phoenix AZ with my son Zach. He is playing in a USA baseball tournament. It will be just the two of us. I cherish these trips with my kids. 

Then I have THREE back to back events- yes, three weekends in a row. I am teaching the SAME projects at all of the events.

These are the workshops again-

Vintage Finds Memory Keeper Binder Workshop

Create a 8.25" w x 9.5" white Binder Memory Keeper for your families memories. This project is HUGE and so many pages!!!

I'm kind of obsessed with flaps!!!!

Christmas Cottage Countdown Workshop

Create a large 6"w x 12" album with 26 pages to capture your holiday memories. So many possibilites to use as home decor or to use as a mini book.

The NOW & THEN workshop is all about flaps, dimension and creating a beautiful remembrance book. I love this workshop and am going to show how to create your own embellishments from chipboard and die cut elements. Learn how to use your die cut punches in a way that you will want to use them over and over. The project is packed full of the newest TC release. It is 5" wide x 10" h.

Whew... that is a lot to share. I hope you will join me on one of the last workshops for 2012. Now... time to hit the road for Idaho. Have a great day!
