did anyone miss me??? sheesh summer is busy! so what the heck have i been up to? alot i can tell ya that! last weekend we headed out to virginia beach to spend some time with my buddy catherine and her family - ALWAYS a good time when cat and i are hanging out! and our hubbies finally got to meet each other!!! the drive down was miserable for ALL involved - lots of rain and heavy traffic. our site was nothing but a mud puddle but luckily our set up with the camper is relatively easy. cat's family was all in tents and setting up tents in the rain SUCKS! but sunday was gorgeous - not quite as hot and perfectly sunny. cat told me they were going down there to go crabbing. i didn't believe her. but sure enough we got to the beach and there were the guys, in the water, pulling out crabs right and left! FREE CRABS!!!! i couldn't believe it! so we had yummy crabs for lunch and then spent the afternoon in the pool. pezza loved cat's neice tiana and the other kids there and it was so nice to have some little friends for her to play with. all in all a great time!
in addition to the trip pezza also hosted her first tea party last week. a GREAT success! although we had way too much food - the kids were more worried about playing than eating and all had a great time. i enjoyed spending time with the moms! we hope to host many more tea times! the only bad part - I FORGOT TO TAKE ANY PICTURES!!!!!! what kind of scrapbooker am i anyway?!?!?!?
this week i am hosting a Close To My Heart party - their new cricut cartridge will be available!!!!!!! don't live by me but want to place an order? NO problem - you can order online through my party on aug 1-3. just go to my demo's website and look for the button that goes to my party! CLICK HERE!

what else have i been up to??? besides keeping pezza entertained (no camps for us this summer) i have been working on my next online class for Color Me Creative! this one is a mixed media basics class and is technique based. this means the focus is on learning the techniques and how to USE all sorts of mediums/products effectively. then next week the project classes will launch to go with the main class. these are techniques and ideas that can be easily incorporated into card making, scrapbooking, art journaling, mixed media canvases - so no matter what you love to do it is a great group of classes to take! want to take the classes?

i have also been having lots of fun with a book i was given at CHA called Collage Couture by julie nutting - look for a full book review tomorrow! here is one of the projects I made from the book:
the project looks like a lot of fun. I started looking at the SCACD website and they do have a lot of fun stuff in there. I loved the stamps that you used from their release ( Monsters and Houses) Can't wait to see you again soon.
